The New Zealand Warriors have been dealt an injury blow on the eve of the NRL season with halfback Te Maire Martin ruled out for 12 weeks after breaking the fibula in his right leg.

The injury occurred in the annual Māori-Indigenous All Stars match at FMG Stadium in Hamilton
on Sunday.

Martin was involved in a tackle on Indigenous winger Josh Addo-Carr in the 25th minute when Māori second rower Briton Nikora’s knee accidentally collided with Martin’s leg.

Martin will have surgery on his leg with a return to play date set at round 11 or 12. He fractured the fibula in his left leg playing against the Newcastle Knights early in the 2023 season.

Martin played 17 games for the Warriors last season.
