Warriors women's players get first chance to impress in opening trial MARVIN FRANCEMATT KING/GETTY IMAGES Georgia Hale in action for the Kiwi Ferns during last year's World Cup. Excitement is building within the Warriors women's squad as they prepare to make history on Friday night. The Warriors will take the field for the first time in a trial match against Auckland prior to the men's side clash against the Knights at Mt Smart Stadium. With the start of the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership a month away, things are quickly coming into focus for the Luisa Avaiki-coached side.
