Cooper Page-Wilson, a recently signed front rower, will make his debut for the NZ Warriors' New South Wales Cup team this Friday against Canberra at Go Media Stadium (5.15pm kick-off).
The 25-year-old joins on a two-year contract after playing 56 games for the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls and Sunshine Coast Falcons over the past three seasons in the Queensland Cup.
He will partner with prop Rodney Tuipulotu-Vea and hooker Makaia Tafua in the front row, while the back row remains unchanged with Kayliss Fatialofa, Eddie Ieremia-Toeava, and Paea Sikuvea from last Friday's tough match against the Sydney Roosters.
Following a strong season last year, the NZ Warriors are entering 2026 with fewer experienced players, emphasizing their commitment to nurturing future talent.
