Chanel Harris-Tavita, a 27-year-old New Zealand Warriors star, has decided to extend his contract with the club after agreeing to a new deal. This move comes amid his strong ties to the Super League, where his name was circulated widely last week (https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/new-zealand-warriors-star-offered-to-super-league-clubs-but-nrl-interest-high). While he would have followed Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who is set to join Wakefield Trinity in 2027, the Warriors have remained focused on him. Their general manager, Andrew McFadden, praised his development and consistency, stating he plays a crucial role for the team. Head coach Andrew Webster highlighted his performance, noting his career-best form and energy on defense. However, the Warriors remain open to discussions about potential moves, though they emphasize communication over speculation. Meanwhile, the Wahs also have Jett Cleary on their roster, with the promising half-back preparing for the NSW Cup. Despite these developments, the Warriors’ focus remains on retaining Harris-Tavita while exploring new opportunities.
