The GWM Game Day Guide highlights a festive tripleheader event at Go Media Stadium, where the NZ Warriors will face the Penrith Panthers for the first time since 2019.
Scheduled for Saturday, this game day is particularly special as it coincides with Matariki celebrations.
The NRL match, featuring the third-placed Warriors and ninth-placed Panthers, is set to kick off at 5:00 PM.
Preceding this main event, the two teams will compete in the Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) at 12:50 PM, followed by the Warriors facing Penrith in the New South Wales Cup at 2:40 PM.
In celebration of Matariki, the venue will engage fans with a unique "Waiata Singalongs" event during the last half hour before the NRL match.
This mass karaoke, focused on traditional waiata, will be led by prominent figures such as Stacey Morrison, Dame Hinewehi Mohi, Matai Smith, and NZ Warriors NRLW players.
This day promises a rich blend of sporting excellence and cultural celebration.
