The NZ Warriors, one of three unbeaten teams this season, have received a significant boost with Luke Metcalf returning from a season-ending injury.
All attention will be on him as he takes his place in the halves alongside in-form players Tanah Boyd and Jackson Ford.
Both Boyd and Ford are top contenders in the Dally M voting, and their performance will be crucial for the Warriors' bid to secure a 4-0 start for the first time since 2018.
At Go Media Stadium this season, the Warriors have amassed a remarkable 82 points, thanks to their forwards' strong foundation.
The Wests Tigers come to Auckland off a win and a loss but face a daunting challenge without star halfback Jarome Luai.
If Benji Marshall's team can navigate these challenges and secure a victory against the formidable Warriors, it would mark one of their most impressive wins in recent years.
