Trials LIVE: How Warriors can still win $100k prize as Storm trio to audition for key spot.

“Craig Bellamy, we’ve touched on it before in and around the experience missing through the middle... Take nothing away from the Warriors.” Jordan Grant 24. “It’s a powerhouse club and we’ve come to expect so much success… Harry Grant 10. Grant Anderson 6. The Warriors can still take top spot in the pre-season challenge and the $100,000 prize that comes with it if they win on Sunday and take home all three bonus points. It caught Munster napping.” In announcing their team to face the Storm, the Warriors said their starting line-up had been “significantly remodelled” from the combination used against the Tigers in the first week of the trials. Te Maire Martin won’t play after remaining in Auckland to be with his partner after the birth of their first child, with rookie Ronald Volkman taking his spot. The Warriors are still in the hunt for the $100,000 prize in the NRL’s pre-season challenge and a Dallin Watene-Zelezniak long-range try has given the hosts a 6-0 lead over a clunky Storm team after 30 minutes. Both sides were guilty of cheap turnovers, with the Storm and Warriors scoreless after 20 minutes in Christchurch.
