The 2016 season

The final season under Andrew McFadden. The first-grade side was coached by Andrew McFadden. Wahpedia catalogues 10 distinct 2016 Warriors designs in total, 5 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2016 season page.

Maker and sponsor

Canterbury made the Warriors' on-field jerseys from 2009 to 2021, so this design belongs to the Canterbury era of the club's kit.

Collector's notes

Nines jerseys were worn for a single tournament and retailed briefly, so unworn examples with tags are scarce. To check a 2016 nines jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2016 rather than a neighbouring year, and compare stitching, collar and sponsor placement against the photo above. Replicas are usually a looser cut in a lighter fabric than player-issue jerseys, which also carry a number and, in most eras, a tighter athletic fit.
