He may be one of the most experienced people on the roster but Issac Luke is "hella excited" about wearing the Warriors jersey for the first time on Saturday.
The Kiwis Test co-captain is one of six players making their club debut against the Tigers at Campbelltown to kick-start a three season stay with the Auckland-based franchise.
Much is expected of Luke and his partnership with Shaun Johnson and fellow new signing Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, but the veteran hooker has many other vital combinations he's working on, namely with his new forward pack.
The man nicknamed 'Bully' insists he doesn't boss his big men around, stating he can't unleash the Warriors backline big guns.
Luke also has a mentoring role with 19-year-old NRL rookie Nathaniel Roache, who's first taste of first grade this weekend is just the start of his apprenticeship under one of rugby league's best hookers.
