The Warriors are trumpeting a signing coup, staving off interest from rugby union to secure 18-year-old Rocco Berry – the son of 1986 and ’93 All Black Marty Berry – on a four-year contract.
“He’s got some really good attributes on and off the field, you’ve only got to talk to him for five minutes to know he’s been raised in a very good environment,” Warriors chief executive Cameron George told Stuff.
“It’s very exciting we’ve been able to secure a son of an All Black into our league family. We do know that he was heavily chased by a number of rugby league and rugby clubs and to get his signature is certainly a massive privilege for our club.”
NZ Warriors signed a kid named Rocco Berry.

A tall fullback/winger in the 15-a-side code, Berry junior appears to boast pace, great footy instincts and brilliant ball skills.
