[Grizzman]

This is good news. Great cover for CNK till he's done, seems to be a good team man and can make an impact when he comes on.

Queensland Cup prop Page-Wilson joins Warriors​

Australian forward Cooper Page-Wilson has signed with the One New Zealand Warriors on a two-year contract.
Boasting 56 appearances in the Queensland Cup since 2023, the 25-year-old 195cm, 108kg prop has been secured to provide an injection of experience to the Warriors’ youthful 2026 NSW Cup squad.

Page-Wilson has also appeared in two NRL Pre-season Challenge matches, one for Brisbane in 2024 and two for the Melbourne Storm in 2025, including the trial against the Warriors in Hamilton.
“With three seasons in the Queensland Cup and NRL trials behind him, Cooper is a key signing with the experience he’ll bring to our young New South Wales Cup squad,” said One New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
“He’ll be training fulltime with our NRL squad and will provide invaluable support for the players we have coming through our pathways.”

Raised in Bateau Bay on the Central Coast in New South Wales, Ourimbah Magpies junior Page-Wilson began his Queensland Cup career with the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls in 2023, playing finals football that year and again in 2024.
After 35 appearances with Wynnum-Manly, he signed with the Sunshine Coast Falcons last year playing 21 games where he again played in the finals; he averaged 107 metres and 23 tackles a game.
Page-Wilson is set to make his New South Wales Cup debut for the Warriors in their round two encounter with the Canberra Raiders at Go Media Stadium on Friday night.

I like this signing. He's a pretty complete winger.

Big fan of his during his time at Parra and was pretty excited when he signed to come back. But for whatever reason just didn't reproduce his best form. Overall disappointing tenure but hopefully he finishes well.

Erin Clark extends until 2029: https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2026/04/15/clark-recommits-to-club-until-end-of-the-decade/

Good news. Although it does seem to end my long held hope that CHT would be converted into a ball playing lock.

good. 1.2Million seems good value for 3 years considering DWZ was on 800k a year
