New Zealand Warriors vs Dolphins Preview

The New Zealand Warriors will be desperate to bounce back when they face the Dolphins at Go Media Stadium on Friday night, after a costly 24-16 defeat to the Titans. That upset tightened the battle for a top-four spot, with Penrith now closing to within three points. The Warriors will look to rediscover the spark that carried them to a gritty 16-12 victory over the Dolphins in Round 11.

Injuries remain a major hurdle for the hosts, with Chanel Harris-Tavita, Wayde Egan and James Fisher-Harris all unavailable. Samuel Healey takes over at hooker, while Te Maire Martin and Demitric Vaimauga are promoted to the starting side.

The Dolphins arrive in Auckland fresh from a bye and buoyed by a commanding 43-24 win over the Cowboys. They’re further strengthened by the return of Kodi Nikorima, Felise Kaufusi and Mark Nicholls, whose experience could prove decisive in this high-stakes clash. With finals spots on the line, a fiery trans-Tasman battle awaits.
