League: Price to McKinnon - 'Zip it'

Wade McKinnon is a brilliant game-breaker but he's been getting a bit 'lippy' lately.

Warriors captain Steve Price has told fullback Wade McKinnon to shut his mouth and get on with the game.

McKinnon had another running battle with the officials last weekend, culminating in a bizarre sending off.

Price has accepted that referee Paul Simpkins made a mistake but says he is only human and it is not the team's job to argue with officials on the field.

He says that sort of referee-bashing is a thing of the past at the club and he has called for greater calm this weekend against the Knights.

Price wants McKinnon to keep his emotions in check and not let the calls on the field affect his performance. He says he has told McKinnon that he has to be beyond that as the referees are not going to change their calls just because he argues with them.

The Warriors have announced an unchanged 17 for the third consecutive week after posting back to back wins.
