Warriors and Storm to renew traditional Anzac Day game,

The Warriors look set to return to Melbourne for their Anzac Day clash against the Storm and will take a regular season home game to Taranaki for the first time in 2016.

“We think it works for all parties on what is a special day.”

Prior to this year, the Storm hosted the Warriors at AAMI Park on Anzac Day every year since the inaugural match in 2009.
