In the upcoming NSW Cup clash, the NZ Warriors will host the Western Suburbs Magpies at Go Media Stadium on Sunday at 11:40 AM.
This match is the first of a triple-header that also features the NRLW team's homecoming against Parramatta and the round 19 NRL face-off between the Warriors and Wests Tigers.
The Warriors, eager to extend their winning streak to 12 games, will encounter a formidable Magpies side that has shown strong recent form, including victories over the Raiders and Roosters.
The Magpies bring considerable NRL experience to the match with players like fullback Brent Naden, front rower Royce Hunt, and centre Taylan May.
However, the Warriors are facing challenges with injuries affecting key players.
NRL stars Luke Metcalf and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad are sidelined, along with the loss of fullback Taine Tuaupiki and halfback Tanah Boyd, who are both called up to first-grade duty.
With a potent mix of pressure and opportunity, this match promises to be a test of the Warriors' resolve and the Magpies' grit.
