Vodafone Warriors captain Simon Mannering is the cover story in the Weekend Herald's magazine today.

As the Vodafone Warriors prepare for tomorrow's 12th-round #GirlPower clash against Newcastle at Mount Smart Stadium, feature writer Alan Perrott finds out more about the outstanding back rower for, and leader of, both the Vodafone Warriors and the Kiwis, a man who epitomises the humble hero to the nth degree.

Also check out a tribute video to Mannering from a collection of his team-mates, former team-mates and rivals originally produced and published by Vodafone Warriors TV to mark his 200th NRL appearance - and his 100th game as Vodafone Warriors captain -  almost exactly a year ago today.

Indeed it was against tomorrow's opponents the Knights that Mannering brought up his twin milestones.
