Old boys galore and international DJ Netsky will add a special edge to the One New Zealand Warriors’ final regular season home game day on Friday night.
Go Media Stadium has again been sold out for the round 26 clash against the Parramatta Eels as the Warriors seek to secure their 15th win of the season to solidify their position in the NRL’s top four.
Marking the last home game in the club’s 31st regular season since joining the competition 30 years ago, fans will be able to celebrate the Warriors officially clinching a spot in the finals for the 10th time in their history.
And it’s history which will be in sharp focus in the shape of a special old boys’ reunion which will be marked on Thursday and Friday.
Former players will be in attendance at the team’s final field session on Thursday morning followed by a ground-breaking Legends Lunch and then they'll be special guests on Friday night when many of them will be presented to the crowd.
