With the fullback and hooker positions decided, the focus switches to the search for the best second rowers in the www.warriors.kiwi People's Choice 20th Anniversary Team poll.
This is the chance for all members past and present and fans at large to have their say on who they think are the club’s best players.
First up was the fullback position with Brent Webb narrowly edging out Wade McKinnon.
The club’s best hooker as voted by the fans was P J Marsh, who finished clear of Monty Betham and Nathan Friend.
Now it’s the second rowers and there’s a quality list of contenders. Among them are six former Kiwis, one them ex-Kiwi captain and current Kiwi coach Stephen Kearney, as well as present Kiwi and Vodafone Warriors captain Simon Mannering. The eighth player is another 1995 foundation player Denis Betts, the ex-Great Britain, England and Wigan star.
