Breaking News: Unexpected Development for New Zealand Warriors….

Preview of the game: Record-breaking home season sold out Author: Richard Becht & photosport.nz

Shaun Johnson, Jazz Tevaga, and Addin Fonua-Blake play their final home game of the season tonight, giving the One New Zealand Warriors, who are coming to the end of a difficult campaign, the opportunity to cherish a unique moment with their devoted supporters.

The atmosphere will undoubtedly be electrifying as the three teammates—Johnson making his 223rd appearance in Warriors uniforms—run out with the intention of finishing strong even though the team’s hopes of making the playoffs have vanished.

After sitting just one point outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season, the Warriors have lost seven of their past nine games to slide out of contention.

The Bulldogs are on the opposite trajectory with six wins in their past seven games putting them within reach of a top-four finish and a double chance in the finals.

After seven seasons in the finals wilderness the Bulldogs are September-bound and looking to build momentum in their last three games against the Warriors, Sea Eagles and Cowboys.
