Na I wouldn’t mind you doing a breakdown of all our recruits since we started to settle this
General Warriors Injury Thread 2026
- Thread starter mt.wellington
- Start date
To do that you would need to compare it to the recruitment of other clubs which is the relativity part.
How many other clubs have 50% of their recruits this year with significant major injury histories?

Probably roosters would be the closest. Talau hasn’t been too bad since missing the 2022 season just picking up the odd injury here and there, but more struggled for selection. Cody Ramsay though certainly has had struggles
True . I guess we have had to deal differently to Australian clubs to get experience

We would have to have a pretty horrid run early to sweat the cup guys coming in right?

No rush. Give Tanah the chance to build his confidence and readiness. Metcalf would be great to have back but let's be patient for his and the team's best interest.Warriors to receive unexpected early season boost
Luke Metcalf was due to return in Round 7.
If the doctors clear him and he passes all the tests, get him out there ASAP. Same for Barnett.
Those 2 are absolutely key players.
Updated.
| Mitchell Barnett | Knee | Early rounds |
| Rocco Berry | Shoulder | Mid season |
| Jye Linnane | Knee | Round 4 |
| Te Maire Martin | Leg | Round 11-12 |
| Luke Metcalf | Knee | Round 7-8 |
Curious about Rocco's injury.
Theres not much information online about what even happened originally...i know there was mention of nerve damage, but yeah just seems to be a lack of details as to what happened initially and how its going currently etc.
He injured himself in rd 27 last year and is expected back rd 14 this year - thats a 9 month lay off yet almost nothing shared about it? Seems extremely lengthy, cant remember the last time there was this long a lay off with so few details

He had surgery at the end of last season due to his shoulder dislocation, and then I believe he needed surgery on it again during pre-season.

This latest or last injury was a horror fest so bad that they couldn't pop the bone back in (closed reduction) without surgery (he was prolly gonna need surgery anywho but a closed reduction is to protect the tissue, especially nerves and blood vessels and the longer the joint is out the harder it gets).
His unfortunately is the triple suckfest of poor history, nasty injury, complications ongoing....
I guess we will find out the next time he runs out whether he is done, surely if it goes again he has to retire and the Warriors need to apply for a cap release of his contract .

Maxigesic Recovery Report: Barnett back on injured list
One New Zealand Warriors co-captain Mitchell Barnett on injured list after breaking thumb.
www.warriors.kiwi
So Linnane is now TBC
Would be handy to have Cape back against the storm next to metcalf, then we have a bench of Demi, Leka and TSS/Marata
He might be cooked tbf.
If he misses majority of this year, that would be pretty much 3 consecutive years of ACL related absence
If they take a look at him at the end of the year and the prognosis isnt good, there might be some internal pressue to cut him with Thompson and Inch playing so well, plus the development they've already put into Cleary/Hanson. Cass Tia is in the picture now too.
Linnane is just really behind the 8 ball now in terms of development.

He’s turning 21 isn’t he? Guess still time but if you can’t rediscover the explosive pace it’s over…
