A final push from Warriors coach Andrew Webster for co-captain Mitch Barnett to be selected for the State of Origin arena

A final push from Warriors coach Andrew Webster for co-captain Mitch Barnett to be selected for the State of Origin arena

18 May 2025 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The front-rower made his Origin debut last season for New South Wales.

Webster says Barnett should be a lock for Blues selectors when they name their team - likely late tonight.

The Warriors could be without James Fisher-Harris for next Sunday's game against the Raiders - facing a one game suspension for a high shot in the win over the Dolphins.
