The New Zealand Warriors' NSW Cup team excelled in 2025, dominating the league and triumphing over the Burleigh Bears in the State Championship.
A standout player in their successful campaign was Setu Tu, an impressive winger who scored twice in both the NSW Cup Grand Final and the State Championship.
Tu has attracted interest from three NRL clubs that have reached out to his management, hoping to add him to their rosters for added depth in their outside backs.
Described by sources as a "game-breaker," Tu is capable of playing as a winger, centre, or even fullback when needed, and he appears poised to become a potential NRL starter in the near future.
While Tu has yet to make a decision between the three NRL clubs, he plans to finalize his choice soon. Given his excellent form this season with the Warriors, he will likely be in contention for a starting outside back position in 2026.
