New Zealand Warriors vs Dolphins Preview

The New Zealand Warriors will be eager to rebound when they host the Dolphins at Go Media Stadium on Friday night, following a disappointing 24-16 loss to the Titans. That shock result has tightened the race inside the top four, with Penrith now just three points adrift. The Warriors will hope to recapture the form that saw them edge the Dolphins 16-12 back in Round 11.

However, injuries have taken a toll on the home side, with Chanel Harris-Tavita, Wayde Egan, and James Fisher-Harris all sidelined. Samuel Healey gets the nod at hooker, while Te Maire Martin and Demitric Vaimauga come into the starting side.

The Dolphins return from a bye fresh and buoyed by a 43-24 win over the Cowboys. They’ve been boosted by the return of Kodi Nikorima, Felise Kaufusi and Mark Nicholls, adding plenty of experience for the cross-Tasman clash. With both sides jostling for finals position, expect a fiery contest in Auckland.
