The Sea Eagles had an impressive performance in Round 1, trouncing the Cowboys with a dominant display.
Led by Tom Trbojevic, they ran for almost 600 meters more than their opponents and scored seven tries in a 42-12 victory.
The lethal edge of Haumole Olakau'atu, Reuben Garrick, and Jason Saab was instrumental in their success, contributing six line breaks and over 400 meters between them.
On the other hand, the Warriors suffered a defeat against the Raiders, with a lack of direction in attack being a major concern for coach Andrew Webster.
The club will be looking to improve in their second game post Shaun Johnson era.
Despite being back on home soil, the Warriors have a modest 50 percent win rate at Go Media Stadium, raising questions about the value of home field advantage for them.
In the upcoming matchup between the Warriors and the Sea Eagles, the focus will be on the halves of both teams.
The performances of the Warriors' halves will be under scrutiny, especially after their disappointing display in the previous game.
The Sea Eagles, on the other hand, will be aiming to build on their strong start and continue their momentum.
It will be interesting to see how the Warriors adapt their game plan to be more effective in attack and how the Sea Eagles maintain their dominance on the field.
Coach Webster will need to address the issues in the Warriors' attack, while Seibold and his men will be looking to build on their flying start to the season.
The upcoming game promises to be a test for both teams, with the result potentially shaping their season moving forward.
