Andrew Webster: Warriors Coach ahead of their first match of the NRL season

Cautious optimism from Warriors league coach Andrew Webster that his side can make another NRL leap this year. 

They start their campaign tomorrow against the Sydney Roosters at Mount Smart without co-captain Mitch Barnett and halfback Luke Metcalf, as both are returning from knee injuries. 

Webster told Mike Hosking that last year's opening match serves as a reminder of over evaluating a pre-season. 

He says they’re comfortable where they are, but until you get punched in the face round one, you don’t really know where you’re at. 

The Warriors finished sixth last year, exiting in the first round of the finals to Penrith.
