Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

The Warriors return to Suncorp Stadium for the second time in three weeks, chasing a fifth straight win as they face a Dolphins side looking to build some momentum. Currently sitting second on the NRL ladder with a 7-2 record, the Warriors have shown grit and determination, eking out narrow wins despite a modest +1 point differential. Key contributors like Luke Metcalf, Erin Clark, Mitch Barnett, and Leka Halasima have stepped up—especially crucial as the team has struggled to post second-half points in recent games.

The Dolphins, now 4-6, snapped a two-game skid with a tense 20-16 victory over Parramatta in Round 10. Herbie Farnworth and Isaiya Katoa continue to impress, while Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow appears to be hitting his stride.

The Warriors will be buoyed by the return of James Fisher-Harris, while the Dolphins stick with the same 17-man lineup. Though the Warriors have claimed both matchups between these sides this year, the Dolphins’ pace out wide could pose problems. With both teams capable of lighting up the scoreboard, the over looks like a strong play.
