NRL LIVE: Warriors running riot as star 'whacks' Tiger with Sheens 2.0 off to horror start.

Sione Fainu 22. Sione Vaihu 20. The NRL’s pre-season is set to kick off with a number of new faces lining up for both the Warriors and Tigers at Mt Smart Stadium. Brandon Tumeth 12. Brandon Wakeham 8. The Tigers have hit back with quick-fire tries to Trey Peni and Stefano Utoikamanu and a comeback looked on the cards. The second coming of Tim Sheens at the Wests Tigers is off to a slow start, with a fired-up Warriors running rampant in the first NRL trial of 2023. Montoya also picked up where he left off in the second half and crossed for his hat-trick in the 50th minute. But the fullback couldn’t make it two in two minutes, with Montoya taking a cut-out at full pace and bulldozing Staines to score his second. “First man to score a hat-trick in 2023 and there might be more to come, I don’t think he’s put his cue in the rack just yet.” Sharks recruit Luke Metcalf is having a blinder and scored the first try of the second half with a brilliant individual effort. The Warriors scored twice in the opening 13 minutes as Marcelo Montoya and Jackson Ford both crossed for soft tries at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.

“It’s good to have him there, it keeps me on my toes. In 2022, he played most of the season on the wing, but scored only three tries – including the fifth and final in the Panthers’ win over the Eels in the decider. But in 2023 he will embark on a fresh challenge – moving away from the system he knows and has nurtured him, to follow Api Koroisau to a side on the up after a lowly couple of years.

New recruits Te Maire Martin and Luke Metcalf combined well in the halves to help the Warriors to a 14-0 lead before Marcelo Montoya crossed for his third try ...

Wests Tigers are back in action next Sunday against the Raiders at Belmore Sports Ground as part of a double-header in Sydney. We lost momentum in the first half, there was a period we came back into it but fell away at the end... I had Webby (Andrew Webster) in under 20s at Tigers and he's still the same, a really good guy. He's really family-orientated and has got a good balance with his assistant crew. We're a long way off where we want to be but it's in a step in the right direction. Luke Metcalf steered the ship around and I thought he did really well.

In any sport, to be successful, you have to be a team player rather than a single player. After more waiata and a poi dance from the students, CEO Pascoe thanked the school for hosting them with a koha of a signed Tigers jersey. Following the question session, the players took to the field to teach the kids a few drills and get amongst a game of touch rugby league. With a strong forward pack and plenty of new faces in the 2023 Wests Tigers side, the players hope to win their first premiership since 2005.
