Warriors get Monday night fever

A rare Monday night fixture is amongst the first five Warriors fixtures of 2012 as they start their campaign towards going one better than last year's grand final appearance.
The NRL have released the schedule for all teams for the opening five rounds of the year.
The Warriors kick their season off with the grand final rematch against defending premiers Manly at Eden Park on Sunday March 4.
That's followed by a Monday night trip to face the Eels at Parramatta Stadium.
The Warriors had a pair of Monday night matches, against the Storm and Sea Eagles, in the first three rounds of 2008 but have had only one since.
Then it's back to Mt Smart Stadium in rounds three and four, against the Bulldogs on a Sunday afternoon on March 18 and the Titans six days later.
The other fixture that has been released is the round five clash with the Roosters at the Sydney Football Stadium on March 31.
