KEY POINTS:
The New Zealand Warriors will open their 2009 National Rugby League season with a home match against Parramatta Eels on Saturday, March 14.
The Warriors will play three of their first four games at home, including matches against the Brisbane Broncos and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
The Eels match will be a homecoming of sorts for new Parramatta coach Daniel Anderson, who guided the Warriors in 92 games from 2001-2004.
Their round two fixture is in Sydney against last year's champions, the Manly Sea Eagles on March 22.
Just the first five rounds have been confirmed in the draw, with the Warriors to travel to Newcastle in round five.
