The NZ Warriors are set for an emotional homecoming as they prepare to face the Parramatta Eels in their first home match since their NRLW return.
The Warriors recently faced a challenging away game against the reigning premiers, the Roosters, suffering a 30-6 defeat.
Despite the loss, Warriors coach Ron Griffiths found some positives to build on.
However, they face a tough opponent in the Eels, who have demonstrated resilience.
The Eels delivered a surprising performance against the Sharks, overcoming the absence of co-captain Mahalia Murphy and NSW representative Kennedy Cherrington.
They took control early in that match and maintained their momentum throughout, showcasing their determination.
Both teams will be looking to solidify their positions early in the season, making this clash a significant test.
