Captain Mitch Barnett admits losing centre Adam Pompey for four to six weeks marks another major blow for the Warriors as they bid to salvage a top eight NRL finish

Captain Mitch Barnett admits losing centre Adam Pompey for four to six weeks marks another major blow for the Warriors as they bid to salvage a top eight NRL finish

24 July 2024 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Pompey's torn the medial ligament in his knee which could rule the team's recent goal kicker out for the rest of the regular season.

Barnett says he feels for Pompey.

Pompey's injury has brought Moala Graham-Taufa into the centres alongside Ali Leiataua for Friday's showdown against the Tigers at Mt Smart.
