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. The front-of-jersey sponsor in 2016 was Vodafone.
Collector's notes
Training gear was made in small quantities and rarely documented, so exact designs are best confirmed against dated photos from the season. To check a 2016 training 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. Data confidence for this entry is low.
