    Warriors coach Andrew Webster is creating a battle on the wings, with two players added to the ranks this NRL season

    Warriors coach Andrew Webster is creating a battle on the wings, with two players added to the ranks this NRL season


    Former Titans flyer Alofiana Khan-Pereira has been impressing in training.

    Webster's giving the winger every chance to challenge Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Player of the Year Roger Tuivasa-Scheck.



    Webster says Mitch Barnett could return from injury between round one and four, while Luke Metcalf is round seven at the earliest.

    Casualty-ward regular Rocco Berry won't be available for round one because of a failed shoulder-surgery.
