The Sharks and Warriors are set to go head-to-head in a pre-season showdown, three weeks before their big trip to Las Vegas.
It's a chance for both teams to hit the ground running and fine-tune their game after a tough offseason on the training paddock.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster has assembled a strong lineup for the game, with some of their biggest names suiting up at Sharks Stadium.
Unfortunately, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has been sidelined due to a minor injury, but he's expected to bounce back in time for their next clash against Melbourne in the Witzer Pre-Season Challenge.
Meanwhile, Cronulla's coach Craig Fitzgibbon has decided to give some of his key players a breather, leaving William Kennedy to lead a youthful squad onto the field.
Stay tuned for all the thrills and spills from the 2025 Witzer Pre-Season Challenge opener on NRL.com's live blog.
It's bound to be a game filled with bone-crunching tackles, lightning-fast runs, and heart-stopping moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
