Don't bank on Warriors stars Luke Metcalf and Mitch Barnett being ready for their March 6 NRL opener against the Roosters

They're both returning from long term knee injuries.

Coach Andrew Webster says that while they're training again, Barnett should return between round 1 and 4, while Metcalfe will be back round 7 to 10.



Rocco Berry's off season shoulder surgery wasn't successful so he's going back under the knife and won't be ready to start the season.
