    Grim news for Warriors fans on winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

    Grim news for Warriors fans on winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The flyer has had surgery on a fractured wrist suffered during their opening pre-season game against the Sharks in Sydney last week.

    Coach Andrew Webster has offered this timeline for Watene-Zelezniak's return.



    Webster isn't ruling out bringing another outside back into the squad - but says an opportunity looms in Saturday's trial against the Storm in Hamilton.

    Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Ed Kosi will start on the wing.
