Blood has proved thicker than water throughout Warriors history.

WARRIORS 1995-2025 BOOK CHAPTER MENU

Hailing from a famous Auckland rugby league family, Tea and Iva Ropati became the first set of brothers to play for the Warriors. All seven of Iva’s top-grade games for the club were alongside Warriors stalwart and fellow Kiwi international Tea. Long-serving prop Jerry Seuseu accompanied younger brother Anthony in the latter’s only NRL game in 2001. Versatile brothers Vinnie and Louis Anderson played a record 14 games together when their Warriors stints overlapped in 2004; they later reunited at Warrington.
