Former Kiwi Coach - Frank Endacott

The 28-year-old Kiwis captain has signed a four-year deal with the NRL club, starting from 2025 - after the Panthers agreed to an early release on compassionate grounds.

Former Kiwis winger and pundit Daryl Halligan says Fisher-Harris has leadership qualities.

Fisher-Harris led the Kiwis to a 30-nil thrashing of the Kangaroos in last year's Pacific Cup final.

Former Warriors coach Frank Endacott says signing the 2023 golden boot winner will help on the recruitment front.
