    Could contrition be on the menu at the Warriors when it comes to signing up a coach in league's NRL?

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Former Kiwis captain Hugh McGahan says former Penrith and Brisbane mentor Anthony Griffin might be suitable, on the proviso the club wants to develop rather than recruit their core playing roster.
