The NZ Warriors have officially secured three promising South Island players-Makaia Tafua, Jason Salalilo, and Bishop Neal-until the end of the 2028 season.
All hailing from Christchurch, the players have shown immense potential through the club's pathways system.
Hooker Tafua, 21, has already made 22 appearances for the Warriors' reserve grade side in the New South Wales Cup.
Prop Salalilo, at 20, has played eight games in the NSW Cup this season.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old second rower Neal played a pivotal role in helping the club win its second consecutive Harold Matthews Cup (under-17) premiership.
