New Zealand Warriors lock in Dally M winner until 2028

Key points

• The New Zealand Warriors have reportedly locked in 2026 Dally M Hooker of the Year Wayde Egan on a 12-month extension. Egan was set to come off contract at the end of 2027, so the deal keeps him at the club for at least the next two NRL seasons and off the player market on November 1.
• The Warriors have also granted fellow hooker Sam Healey early permission to speak with rival clubs for 2028.
• Egan, who joined from Penrith in 2020, will enter his ninth season with the club in 2028.
