After bringing up his 50-game milestone last year, Berry’s 2026 season was restricted to
six appearances for the club’s New South Wales Cup side.
“We know the player Rocco can be and we’re committed to giving him every opportunity
to return to his best,” said One New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment,
pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
“While he has faced challenges along the way, Rocco has shown how resilient he is as he
does all he can to return to the NRL.”
As well as scoring 13 tries in his 52 NRL appearances, Berry has established himself as
one of the game’s best defensive centres with a tackling efficiency rate of above 90 per
cent.
“Rocco adds so much to our team when he’s fit and he’s determined to be ready for next
season,” said New Zealand Warriors head coach Andrew Webster.
“We have so much belief in him. He competes like mad, he’s so fit, he makes our edges
chase like he does and he gives balance to our team. He’s such an important part of our squad."
