The 2018 season
A return to the finals for the first time since 2011, the first Indigenous Round jersey, and the inaugural NRLW season for the Warriors women. The first-grade side was coached by Stephen Kearney. Wahpedia catalogues 8 distinct 2018 Warriors designs in total, 5 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2018 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 2018 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
As the season's primary strip it was produced in the largest numbers, so it is the easiest 2018 jersey to find and the usual starting point for a season-by-season collection. To check a 2018 home jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Canterbury), make sure the sponsor set matches 2018 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.
