Warriors Struggle Amid Injuries and Suspensions | Auckland News
Description
The Warriors women’s rugby league team is in turmoil this season, struggling at 4-5 and seventh place despite big-name signings like Gayle Broughton and Stacey Waaka. Injuries, suspensions, and logistical chaos have disrupted chemistry, but coach Ron Griffiths remains focused on long-term growth. A major setback? Rookie Ivana Lauitiiti—likely out for the year—got a two-week suspension for a dangerous tackle, prompting lineup shifts: Metanoia Fetalaiga steps in, Kaiyah Atai moves to loose forward, and Maarire Puketapu takes over second row. The team’s resilience is being tested ahead of their crucial Saturday showdown against Cronulla at Go Media Stadium.
