This recognises the 20th anniversary of the Warriors being in the NRL competition and the success of the New Zealand team in the recent Four Nations tournament. Mr Smith said a highlight of the season would be the special commemoration of the100th ANZAC which will see five games on the same day in Auckland, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. He said there would also be more Easter holiday matches, a revitalised Monday night schedule and Thursday night football leading into the Finals Series. “And, of course, we will be taking State of Origin to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for the first time in 18 years,” Mr Smith said. “It is an exceptional calendar which has something for everyone.”
