Erin Clark, a 27-year-old lock for the Warriors, is being praised as a potential NRL buy-of-the-year contender due to his outstanding form and happiness on the field.
After returning to the Warriors, the team he initially played for in 2017, Clark has been a key contributor to their surprising 5-2 start in 2025.
Following the Warriors' impressive 26-12 Anzac Day victory over Newcastle in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Clark expressed his contentment.
He previously played 94 NRL games for the Titans after being given another chance in 2020, transitioning from a specialist hooker to a versatile middle forward.
His performances have earned him a spot on the Kiwis Test team during the 2024 Pacific Championships.
Clark's journey and current success highlight the significant link between player happiness and performance in rugby league.
