The NZ Warriors are set to host their first home final in 15 years, and all eyes are on the upcoming match.
This is a significant moment for the team, as they haven't had the chance to play a finals match at Go Media Stadium since their victory over the Sydney Roosters in 2008.
After a successful top four season, the anticipation is high among players, fans, and members alike.
The gates will open at 4.00pm, with the Warriors facing a tough challenge against the buoyant Newcastle Knights at 6.05pm kick-off.
However, this game day will have a different atmosphere compared to regular home matches.
Since finals games are managed by the NRL, supporters will not experience the usual features that make a NZ Warriors home game so memorable, such as the exciting build-up, the team's run out, and halftime activations.
Nevertheless, the sold-out stadium promises an electric atmosphere as fans rally behind their team in this long-awaited home final.
