Th Warriors centre Brent Tate and fullback Wade McKinnon have been added to the squad for tomorrow's final NRL trial against Manly.

Tate hasn't played since a season-ending knee injury in round three last year.

He and McKinnon join an enlarged bench for the match.at North Harbour Stadium where Manly's coach Des Hasler will start his first-choice side.

Meanwhile Manly's new chief executive, Graham Lowe has agreed to a free to air deal with and Maori Television, which will have delayed Sky coverage of Sea Eagles matches on Monday nights.

In pre Warriors days Manly was a favourite with many New zealand fans because of the number of New Zealanders playing there.

Lowe , who coached Manly, says that's what he had in mind mind when he proposed the deal although the Warriors are New Zealand's number one league side and rightly so.
