From Jones to Egan: The Warriors mark a milestone
In a nod to the legacy of Rugby League greatness, hooker Wayde Egan joins an elite group tonight as he hits the century mark in NRL games for the NZ Warriors.
Egan's feat makes him the sixth player in the 2024 squad to reach this impressive milestone.
This achievement is not just a personal triumph for Egan, but also a tribute to the rich history of the Warriors, which was kickstarted by the legendary Stacey Jones back in 1999.
As the Warriors mark their 30th season, Egan's entry into the 100-game club is a testament to the club's enduring legacy.
In a fitting finale to the season, Egan will be joined on the field by two other stalwarts of the club - retiring halfback Shaun Johnson and departing middle forward Jazz Tevaga.
These three warriors will battle it out against Cronulla Sutherland tonight, showcasing their grit and determination in the face of formidable opponents.
Despite the absence of key players like centre Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, captain Tohu Harris, and prop Bunty Afoa, the Warriors remain resolute in their pursuit of victory.
With Egan leading the charge, they are determined to finish the season on a high note, leaving their mark on the Rugby League landscape.
