Under 20s players Lewis Soosemea and Joe Vuna have both signed on for two years after being frontline performers for the Warriors following making their debuts in grade rugby league as 17-year-olds.

"These are all key signings for us as we continue to work towards settling our squad for next year," said Vodafone Warriors recruitment and development manager Tony Iro.

Young off contract prop Toafofoa (Toaf) Sipley will leave the club at the end of the season after signing a two-year-deal with the Manly Sea Eagles.

Sipley has worked his way through the ranks at the Warriors but has only managed to appear in two first-grade matches during his time at the club.

"We were keen for Toaf to stay and made a good offer but it hasn't been enough to keep him here.

"While it's disappointing to lose players who come through our system, we wish Toaf all the best."

The Warriors have their first bye of the season - and will return to action in round 16 where they will host the Canterbury Bulldogs.
