The Warriors are back at home, aiming to convert their spirited performance last week into victory against the Sharks. They narrowly missed a remarkable comeback against the Raiders, finishing the game with only 11 players and losing 20-16.
In a challenging situation, the team had already lost their captain, fullback Apii Nicholls, along with their established halves due to injuries before the match. Despite additional setbacks, including two players being sent to the sin bin, the Warriors displayed commendable resilience.
The Sharks head to New Zealand following a hard-fought victory over the Titans, where they emerged victorious with a score of 12-8 after a gritty match.
A significant boost for the Sharks is the return of Test and Origin prop Caitlan Johnston-Green, who made her long-awaited debut for Cronulla after a remarkable comeback from maternity leave in May.
Currently holding fifth place on the ladder with four wins and three losses, the Sharks sit just above the Warriors, making this match crucial for both teams as they approach the final four games of the regular season before the finals.
