We are one day away from welcoming one of Whangārei's favourite sons, Adam Blair, back to town before the New Zealand Warriors take on the Wests Tigers on Saturday.

Blair will visit two of his former schools while in Northland, his primary school Te Kura o Ōtangarei (on Thursday) and Whangārei Boys High School (tomorrow).From tomorrow, the Warriors will visit 13 schools over three days to raise the profile of league in Northland,

Hundreds of kids from Northland league clubs will also attend the Club Cluster event featuring skills and drills sessions with the entire Warriors squad at Northland Events Centre on Thursday. At the end of the session, there will be a barbecue hosted by the team at MITRE 10 Whangārei where each child will be given boot laces and a mouth guard for the upcoming season.

The Warriors will host a captain's run at the Northland Events Centre on Friday, March 1, from 10am to noon that is open to the public. Players will also be available to fans straight after the main game on the field on game day.

The game kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, March 2, at the Northland Events Centre.
