The Warriors are aiming to wrap up the NRL minor premiership at a packed Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, while several other teams complete the final Saturday of the regular season.
North Queensland will later host Canberra in Townsville, and Cronulla will face Melbourne at Shark Park. The finals-bound Cowboys are already assured of a place in the top eight, but positions within the finals group and the minor premiership remain to be settled.
The afternoon began with an NRLW clash at Mount Smart, where the Sharks edged the host Warriors 40-32 in a 14-try match. Both teams crossed for seven tries, but Cronulla’s more accurate goal-kicking proved decisive. The Sharks converted six of seven attempts, while the Warriors converted two.
Warriors winger Payton Takimoana scored twice for the hosts. Cronulla hooker Quincy Dodd also scored two tries and led the match with 31 tackles.
