Grim news for Warriors fans on winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

Grim news for Warriors fans on winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

13 February 2025 - 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.
