At the age of just 23, Warriors playmaker Chanel Harris-Tavita is taking a break from the NRL

23 May 2022 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

He says he hasn't been enjoying it as much as he wants to, over the last year.

Harris-Tavita says he will leave the Warriors at the end of the season and his decision is not related to mental health.

Wellington coach Ufuk Talay has a rebuilding job to do at the Phoenix, after seeing seven first-team squad members walk out the door... including top forwards Jaushua Sotirio and Gael Sandoval.

Another key Aussie, attacking midfielder Reno Piscopo, is off contract and considering his options.

The Golden State Warriors have beaten the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 in Game 3 of the Western Conference NBA finals... to take a 3-nil lead in the best of 7 series.
