DONE CONFIRMED: Warriors welcomes Another Key Player Who Has Today Signed With The Club On The Opening Day Of The AFL Free Agency

Front rower Hill-Moana (22) has been secured for three seasons, fellow prop Butler (31) for 2025 and 2026 and hooker Paekau (23) for 2025 and 2026 with an option for 2027.

Huntly-born Taniwharau product Hill-Moana has played 24 NRLW games for the Sydney Roosters in four seasons so far including the 2021 premiership victory. A Māori All Stars representative for the last four years, she boasts 10 Tests for the Kiwi Ferns since 2020, helping them to the Rugby League World Cup final in 2022 and the drought-breaking win over the Jillaroos last year.

“Mya is a great coup for the Warriors, a premiership-winning representative front rower who we believe will be the cornerstone of the Warriors’ pack for many years to come,” said One New Zealand Warriors NRLW head coach Ron Griffiths.

“Among Mya’s many achievements it was evident when we spoke that receiving her blazer from her junior club Taniwharau was one of her most coveted moments.”
