Kiwi Ferns and Black Ferns internationals are among the 22 players locked in for the One New Zealand Warriors’ re-entry into the NRLW this year.
Late last month the club confirmed 11 more signings headlined by Black Ferns rugby union super star Michaela Brake (née Blyde).
It leaves just two spots to be filled in the top 24.
Of the players secured 10 have NRLW experience and three have excelled on the international rugby union stage for the Black Ferns.
Fullback Nicholls is the most experienced NRLW player signed so far with 28 for the original Warriors, the Titans and the Raiders.
