Oranga Tamariki repeatedly dismissed concerns about Tom Phillips' children - before he fled for a second time into the Marokopa bushland.

A four-year police hunt for them ended when Phillips was shot dead last year. 

An inquiry's laid bare numerous failures, including a lack of coordination between Oranga Tamariki and the police. 

Two months before Phillips took off the second time, the Ministry told the Family Court the children were fine in his care. 
 
Chief executive Amanda Malu says Oranga Tamariki didn't provide all the information it had - partly because the social worker was still compiling it.

Police admit they acted too slowly, and minimised the harm Tom Phillips was causing his children as they hid out. 

An almost four-year hunt ended last year, when police killed Phillips in a shootout.

An inquiry's exposed numerous failures by police and Oranga Tamariki, and a lack of information sharing.

Police delayed following up on credible sightings - and overlooked repeated concerns over Phillip's mental health and alcohol use and access to weapons. 

The district's Deputy Police Commissioner, Jill Rogers, says police didn't fully understand how the isolation harmed the children.

"We were always of the belief that Tom Phillips was a man motivated not to hand the children over, and we have wrongly assumed that he wasn't a risk."

The Warriors are in full training mode as they gear up for their historic clash against the Newcastle Knights this Sunday.

The big match is set to take place at Eden Park, and the team's hoping to shake off last weekend's loss to the Dolphins and emerge victorious for Sydney's final against the Panthers.

Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad says it's going to be an 'amazing atmosphere' after reports confirmed that Eden Park had sold out ahead of the game.

"I love Eden Park, I've played there a few times, obviously with the Kiwis - and I was just saying today that it's great to be able to take a game like that to a different stadium."
