Biography

Tamworth hooker played for Northern Division against Great Britain in 1962 before being signed by Norths. Warner stepped into the role vacated by veteran clubman Norm Strong and became a mainstay with the club for the next decade. He represented NSW in 1964-65 and was a non-playing reserve for Australia against France in 1964 (and thus, unfortunately, is not credited as a Test player). In 1967 he appeared in his only international match, NSW’s 15-14 loss against the Kiwis. Warner played in over 200 grade matches with the Bears and captained the club during the early 1970s.
