Breaking: NRL just confirmed New Zealand Worries full change name to New Zealand Battles due to…

It appears this “Breaking” claim is false—there’s no credible evidence that the NRL has approved changing the New Zealand Warriors name to “New Zealand Battles.”

🛑 What we actually know:

• The Vodafone Warriors were renamed the One New Zealand Warriors, starting from November 1, 2022, after Vodafone NZ rebranded to “One New Zealand” (warriors.kiwi).

• Since then, the team has continued using the One New Zealand Warriors name — there has been no announcement or credible reporting about another name change to “New Zealand Battles.”

I can find no announcements from the NRL, the Warriors organization, or reputable media outlets supporting the “Battles” claim.

Bottom line: The Warriors are currently the One New Zealand Warriors, not the “New Zealand Battles.” This appears to be misinformation or a social media fabrication. If anything credible emerges, I’ll update you promptly!
