    Warriors coach Andrew Webster is not a fan of changing the NRL rulebook

    Warriors coach Andrew Webster is not a fan of changing the NRL rulebook

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Webster is against the first of four proposals, allowing teams to choose to receive the ball after conceding a try.



    He also disagrees with increasing match-day squads from 17 to 19 because fringe-players could be caught in no-man's land.



    Webster has some injury woes heading into the season.

    Rocco Berry's shoulder surgery has failed and he's having another one.

    Mitch Barnett will be back between round 1 and 4, while Luke Metcalf's earliest return is round seven.
