Swann and Luck extend Warriors careers

Back row forwards Logan Swann and Micheal Luck have both extended their NRL careers with the Vodafone Warriors.

Swann, who returned home this year after three seasons in the English Super League, has signed another one-year deal taking him through to the end of the Vodafone Warriors' 2008 campaign.

And Luck is staying in Auckland until the end of the 2010 season after extending his original three-year contract by a further two years.

They both said they were always keen to stay with the club.

"This is where it started for me and this is where I'd love to finish my career," said Swann (32), who's now set to become a nine-year Vodafone Warrior.

"It was a great opportunity when the Vodafone Warriors gave me the chance to return to the club this season. It's been fantastic being part of this team and the club as a whole."

The 25-year-old Luck joined the Vodafone Warriors last season after five years and 76 appearances for North Queensland.

"It's been the best move I could have made coming to Auckland," he said.

"Playing with the boys here and working with the coaching staff has really helped my game hugely. I'm getting so much enjoyment out of my football and living here has been great as well."

Head coach Ivan Cleary said both players were real assets to the club.

"They're such professional players with great attitudes," he said.

"Micheal has made huge strides since arriving here. He came close to gaining State of Origin selection just a couple of weeks ago. And Logan has given us everything we expected from him and more."

Swann played 146 times for the Vodafone Warriors from 1997-2003 before spending one season with the Bradford Bulls and two with the Warrington Wolves in England. A 28-test former Kiwi international, he has appeared in all but one of the Vodafone Warriors' 17 matches so far this season.

Luck has been ever-present since his club debut last year, stretching his run to 41 consecutive appearances in last Sunday's 44-16 win against the Dragons. He is also one of only two players who have made 600-plus tackles in the NRL so far this year.

He was called in as Queensland's 18th man for the third State of Origin match in Brisbane on July 4.

Byrne lines up for 100th, Swann and Crockett back for Warriors

Todd Byrne's 100th first-grade game and returns for Logan Swann and Michael Crockett are the major features of the Vodafone Warriors' line-up to face St George Illawarra at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday.

Byrne, who turns 29 next Monday, will line up for the 39th time for the Vodafone Warriors after beginning his NRL career with 61 games for the Sydney Roosters from 2001-2004.

Back rower Swann is back in the side after being rested for last Saturday night's 12-18 loss to North Queensland in Townsville while winger Crockett comes into the team for the first time since being ordered off against the Bulldogs on June 3.

After serving a two-game suspension, Crockett played twice for the Vodafone Auckland Lions in the New South Wales Premier League, scoring a try in their 28-26 win against Balmain Ryde last Saturday night. He comes in for Patrick Ah Van.

"Michael's back after having a couple of runs for the Vodafone Auckland Lions after his suspension," said head coach Ivan Cleary.

"Patrick has done well but Michael will give us a bit more speed."

Looking to extend a perfect goal kicking run on Sunday will be standoff Michael Witt. He slotted two sideline conversions against the Cowboys for his 15th straight success this year, giving him 17 on end including the only two goals he kicked for Manly last year.

Back rower Micheal Luck is set to become just the second player - after Roosters captain Craig Fitzgibbon - to pass the 600 tackle mark this season. He topped 40 tackles yet again on Saturday night (42, no misses) to lift his season tally to 584. He'll also be playing his 41st consecutive game for the Vodafone Warriors since his first-round debut for the club last year.

Captain Steve Price, who played his 50th match for the club last weekend, won't rejoin his team-mates until Thursday. He has been given a break in Australia with his family after an energy-sapping run during the representative season.

Since the opening State of Origin match on May 23, the 33-year-old has played three matches for Queensland and five for the Vodafone Warriors in just over six weeks.

His overall statistics reveal he has played 525 of a possible 640 minutes, made 191 runs, gained 1563 metres, clocked up 213 tackles and missed just 11. That works out to an average per game of almost 66 minutes, close to 24 runs, 195 metres and 27 tackles.
