The new owners of the Vodafone Warriors don't feel they need to change anything in the management side of the team during their first off-season in charge - in fact, they're delighted with what they've delivered so far.
Auckland Rugby League and Carlaw Park Heritage Trust chairman Cameron McGregor and Autex Industries owner Mark Robinson were confirmed as the successful bidders to secure the club off Eric Watson, with the duo taking over the role "virtually right now".
When asked if current CEO Cameron George would "still be around" next season, Robinson was blunt with his answer.
"I hope so," he said.

"I think they're doing a really good job at the moment and there's stability there, and I think you've got to give a coach a little bit of time and we've seen with over NRL clubs, they keep swapping coaches, and it doesn't really work."
McGregor agreed, saying the running of "day-to-day operations" would remain with George while they remained hopeful Kearney would live out the remainder of his two-year contract.
"We have no desire to come in and make any immediate changes," he said.
"We're here to support Cameron and his team in what they're doing now."
The Warriors are off to their strongest start ever since joining the NRL in 1995, sitting third after eight rounds with a record of six wins and two losses.
