Warriors to open season on the road

The Warriors will start and end their 2010 NRL programme away from home but the new draw also delivers plenty of bonuses.

The Warriors have avoided demanding away trips to Townsville (for the second year running), Canberra and Wollongong.

Apart from playing North Queensland, Canberra and St George Illawarra only once - and all in Auckland - the other sides the Warriors will meet once are Wests Tigers (away), the Sydney Roosters (away) and the Bulldogs (away).

Of those six sides, only the Dragons and the Bulldogs made the top eight this year.

The Warriors take on the Gold Coast Titans at Skilled Park in their opening game of the season.
