Big motivation for regular season home finale

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The NZ Warriors are gearing up for their regular season home finale against the Dragons, with a win guaranteeing them a top four finish.

This is a significant achievement for the Warriors, who have been on a winning streak recently, securing their sixth consecutive victory last week against the Sea Eagles.

This winning streak is a record-breaking feat for the club, as they haven't achieved this since 2002.

However, despite their impressive run, there are concerns about the Warriors' defense, particularly on their left edge.

In their previous match, they allowed Jason Saab from the Sea Eagles to score three tries, raising questions about their defensive capabilities.

They will need to address these issues to maintain their momentum and secure a victory against the Dragons.

On the other hand, the Dragons have been competitive in their recent matches but have failed to convert their efforts into wins.

In their last game against the Storm, they were trailing by just two points with six minutes remaining but ultimately lost 38-28 due to late lapses.

This defeat adds to their frustrations as they strive to avoid finishing last and being awarded the dreaded wooden spoon in 2023.

The Dragons have struggled in their previous encounters with the Warriors.

When they faced off earlier this year in Wollongong, the Warriors dominated the game with a commanding 48-18 victory.

Additionally, the Dragons have had limited success when playing at Go Media Stadium, losing both of their previous matches there since 2015.

With so much at stake for both teams, this upcoming match promises to be an intense battle.

The Warriors will be motivated to maintain their winning streak and secure a top-four finish, while the Dragons will be eager to avoid the wooden spoon and prove their competitiveness.

It will be a test of skill, strategy, and determination as these two teams clash on the rugby league field.
