There's a "Tongan Thor" running around fellow schoolboys into the media's glare and a mad scramble for his signature, writes Chris Rattue.
The Warriors are being fuelled by an unconventional - and somewhat controversial - nutrition programme.
The Warriors will aim to hit much higher heights, but this was a step in the right direction.
The Warriors set a goal pre-season to be the best defensive team in the NRL. It seemed a laughable ambition in the early weeks as they leaked the most points of any side in the competition, but a change has occurred.

Andrew McFadden has been signed as the Warriors' head coach to the end of 2017 NRL season after guiding the team to a nine-try rout of the Canberra Raiders.
Don't judge the signing of Ryan Hoffman at the Warriors until you see the outcome of the recruitment plan for this year, writes Hugh McGahan.
Understandably, Australian teams do not like playing the Warriors at Mt Smart. The stadium's intimacy means the fans are close, providing a passion off which the home team feeds.
This is how to break a hex. Don't just stop it - smash it to smithereens.
Konrad Hurrell has shouldered the blame for the infamous sex tape fiasco - even though it was a "mate" who released it into the public arena.
Despite a rugby union background, Donovan discovered league in 2003 and has been hooked ever since. He and his wife have been Warriors members for more than a decade.
Promising youngster Siliva Havili has re-signed with the Warriors - but the Auckland club will continue their search for another hooker.
The Warriors will need to convert their fan base from blue collar working-class types to white collar folk to make a successful shift to Eden Park.
