According to reports from warriors.kiwi, the NZ Warriors face a critical match tonight against the unpredictable Eels at Go Media Stadium. With the Broncos and Sharks close behind, the Warriors cannot afford any mistakes in this must-win game.
Currently, Andrew Webster's team occupies fourth place with 34 competition points, and they are in contention for a double chance if they can keep their momentum in the last two matches.
The Warriors will be cheered on by a sold-out crowd, as tickets were purchased a week in advance. This game also commemorates the club's annual old boys' round, attracting many former players.
The Eels, though having a challenging season, present a significant threat. Their attack, led by Mitch Moses, can score points rapidly, and with Zac Lomax and Josh Addo-Carr finishing opportunities, they can be formidable.
Despite the Eels' underwhelming season, recent victories against strong teams like the Roosters, Broncos, and Cowboys indicate that coach Jason Ryles is steering them towards a revival in 2026.
