In a high-stakes showdown, the Warriors are gearing up to face off against the Dolphins in a crucial contest this afternoon.
Sitting outside of the top eight, both teams are hungry for a much-needed victory to secure two crucial competition points.
The Dolphins are feeling the heat after slipping outside of the top eight for the first time since round one following a tough loss to the Roosters last week.
With a concerning run of five losses in their last six games, Coach Wayne Bennett knows they need to tighten up their game, especially on the defensive end.
But as a seasoned coach, he is no stranger to this situation and will have his team firing on all cylinders for the match at Suncorp Stadium.
Meanwhile, the Warriors have also been on a downward spiral, dropping to 14th in the rankings after Brisbane's recent victory.
However, a win today would bring them within striking distance of the eighth-placed Dragons.
Despite losing veteran halfback Shaun Johnson for today's game, the Warriors are determined to replicate their previous performance against the Dolphins, where they emerged victorious with a score of 24-20 earlier in the season.
As the teams prepare to battle it out on the field, fans can expect a thrilling match filled with intensity, strategy, and a display of true grit from both sides.
It's all on the line and only the strongest team will emerge victorious in this crucial contest.
