Zac Bardsley-Rowe and Nolan Tupaea Warrington Wolves squad numbers

Zac Bardsley-Rowe and Nolan Tupaea will have senior squad numbers for the first time next season.

They were both on the recent Warrington Wolves Academy tour of Australia, although Bardsley-Rower did not play in any of the games due to recovering from injury.

The pair progressed through the club’s scholarship programme and were first signed up to the Academy in 2022.

Bardsley-Rowe is a centre hailing from the Salford City Roosters junior club.

He is a big, strong and powerful athlete, carries the ball well and is a very good defender.

His development over the last two years has been hailed as ‘fantastic’ within the club and he has represented Lancashire at Academy level.

Back-rower Tupaea, who came through at Oldham club Saddleworth Rangers, is another big powerful player who has good skills and has good passing ability before and after the line.

Tupaea was in the England Academy squad in 2023 and was a member of the team that reached the Academy Grand Final last month.
