New Zealand Warriors Charlie Gubb, seen here breaking Canberra Raiders defence in the quarter-finals of the NRL Nines at Eden Park on Sunday, is likely be one of the star attractions when the Warriors come to Whangarei this week.
Northland rugby league fans are in for a treat this week with the ability to get up close to some of the game's biggest stars when the New Zealand Warriors take on the Gold Coast Titans.
But ahead of the pre-season game at Toll Stadium on Saturday, the Warriors and
Titans players and support staff will visit schools and events around Whangarei to let fans meet their heroes.
This will be the first time Whangarei has had two NRL teams in town and the players are taking the opportunity to mix with their fans.
The Warriors will visit Whau Valley Primary, Tikipunga Primary, Raurimu Primary, Te Kapehu Whetu, Te Rawhitiroa kura and Kamo Primary schools tomorrow to show young fans, and possibly a few parents, their skills.
The Warriors will also visit Whangarei Primary, Kamo Intermediate, Manaia View, Totara Grove Primary, Hora Hora Primary and Whangarei Intermediate schools on Friday.
