Rivals vow to bring the thunder once more

Rivals promise to deliver another classic contest

The lads over at warriors.kiwi are stirring up the anticipation with a headline that reads "Rivals promise to deliver another classic contest" - and they're not wrong.

The last time the NZ Warriors and the Storm clashed in round two, it was a ripper of a game.

Xavier Coates pulled off a real showstopper with seconds left on the clock, sealing an epic Storm comeback and extending their winning streak over the Warriors to a whopping 15 games.

But tonight, the Storm are in for a real challenge.

The Warriors are on a hot streak, winning their last three games and hungry to break into the top eight.

The Storm might be sitting pretty at the top of the NRL ladder, but they'll need to bring their A-game to fend off the Kiwi contenders.

Both teams have had their fair share of victories - the Storm snagged a 36-28 win over the Knights in round 14, while the Warriors thrashed the Cowboys 42-12 in their last outing.

The Storm have a solid record at Go Media Stadium, winning five of their last six visits.

The one loss they suffered wasn't even against the Warriors, but against the Wests Tigers back in 2018 during an Auckland double-header.

So, buckle up and get ready for another classic showdown between these two fierce rivals.

It's bound to be a corker of a match that'll have fans on the edge of their seats.

Who will come out on top this time? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - it's gonna be a game for the ages.
