New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George has waited patiently for his club to become a major force in the NRL.
Now riding near the top of the competition ladder and respected and feared by its rivals, George confidently predicts this is the year of the Wahs.
And if they do eventually capture their first NRL title, George is entitled - more than most - to celebrate the achievement.
It was George who steered the Club through covid, fought for his players rights and ensured the safety and well being of a group of men and their families, who made an incredible sacrifice to ensure the game went on.
In this episode of Chiming In, you will get to know the man behind the secrets of the Warriors success. From humble beginnings in Northern NSW, George has emerged as one of the game’s top administrators who is respected and liked by all.
He gives an inside look at how the Warriors stayed afloat, while the world was seemingly crumbling.
