New Zealand Warriors vs Canberra Raiders Preview

Two Round 1 winners collide in Auckland in what shapes as one of the weekend’s most intriguing match-ups. The Warriors were impressive in a 42-18 win over the Roosters, with Tanah Boyd steering the side confidently and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck influential in attack.

Canberra arrive after a dramatic golden-point victory over Manly, rallying from an early deficit before rookie halfback Ethan Sanders sealed the result.

The Raiders have enjoyed recent success in this fixture, winning the past three meetings, including a tight 16-10 clash in Auckland last year. But the Warriors’ attacking confidence and home advantage at Go Media Stadium may prove decisive if they can maintain the discipline and intensity that defined their season opener.
