Just before the Vodafone Warriors and Canterbury-Bankstown take the field, therell be a special tribute to long-serving Wellington rugby league administrator and historian Bernie Wood, who passed away on April 28.
Wood, the games godfather in the Capital, made an astonishing contribution in every sphere of the game.
He would have cherished seeing Westpac Stadium hosting such a massive crowd for a rugby league occasion while he would have been immensely proud to see the Vodafone Warriors entering the stadium wearing a quintessential black and gold Wellington provincial playing strip, the design of which harks back to the late 1970s . The fact the Vodafone Warriors will wear the colours today becomes all the more poignant as a way of further recognising Woods involvement in rugby league.
He would also delight in seeing the teams playing mini and mod rugby league on the ground during the event involving sides from his own club Porirua as well as Petone, Upper Hutt, Kapiti (Stephen Kearneys junior club), St George, Wainuiomata and Te Aroha (Ben Matulinos junior club).
