Warriors season in the balance due to errors and ill-discipline says Mitch Barnett
Warriors new recruit Mitch Barnett says going to the club has got him out of his comfort zone and for him, that’s a good thing.
The 28-year-old forward has joined the Warriors after seven seasons at the Knights and he’ll add a steely edge to their pack, giving the team some of the aggression that Matt Lodge used to provide.
Barnett was one of the most popular players at the Knights and could have conceivably played in Newcastle for the remainder of his career.
But instead he did what so many Australian players seem to run a mile from, moving to New Zealand to play for the Warriors.
“It’s been a massive culture shock to start with and then learning a lot of new things,” Barnett said after the team’s training session on Thursday
“Learning new systems has been a challenge as well on the footy front.
“But it’s enjoyable, it’s keeping it refreshing and I’m looking forward to the footy.
