The New Zealand Warriors are set to host the Dolphins in a major finals clash at Go Media Stadium, before transitioning to Eden Park for the remainder of their playoff run.
South Sydney will welcome the Newcastle Knights to Allianz Stadium for the opening match of this year's NRL finals series.
This venue choice reflects the Knights' concerns about filling the larger Accor Stadium, which holds 80,000 spectators.
Allianz Stadium, with a capacity of 42,000, provides a more suitable atmosphere for the match.
Following the Warriors' matchup, the Cronulla Sharks will take on the North Queensland Cowboys at Allianz Stadium in a significant playoff encounter.
Additionally, the finals series will feature an exciting clash between minor premiers Penrith and the Sydney Roosters on Sunday afternoon.
This matchup not only highlights Sydney's competitive teams but is also an all-Sydney blockbuster that has fans eagerly anticipating the outcome.
Overall, this year's NRL finals are shaping up to provide thrilling matches and a showcase of top-tier rugby competition.
