New Zealand Warriors vs Penrith Panthers Preview

The New Zealand Warriors will aim to keep their top-four charge rolling when they host the Penrith Panthers at Go Media Stadium on Saturday. Refreshed from the bye, the Warriors are in red-hot form, having thrashed the Sharks 40-10 in Round 15 to notch their seventh win from eight games. With Wayde Egan returning at hooker and Moala Graham-Taufa earning a call-up in the centres, Andrew Webster’s side looks well-positioned to maintain momentum.

Penrith, also coming off a bye, remains outside the eight but showed signs of life with a gritty 18-14 win over the Tigers. Coach Ivan Cleary has opted to rest his Origin stars, handing starts to Daine Laurie, Brad Schneider, and Paul Alamoti among others.

While the Panthers’ depth will be tested, the Warriors’ settled spine and strong recent form make them tough to beat at home.
