First mistake of the game with the Warriors conceding a set restart, before Daniel Saifiti drops the ball on the next play.

For the Knights the big news is no Dane Gagai after he was withdrawn due to a medical condition. Dylan Lucas will take his place in the centres. Daniel Saifiti moves to the starting lineup after Leo Thompson was suspended with Jack Hetherington and Brodie Jones the new faces on the bench.

Several changes for the Warriors, most notably Roger Tuivasa-Sheck back at fullback after Taine Tuaupiki suffered a concussion. Wayde Egan is back and pushes Freddy Lussick to 18th man as a result with Chanel Harris-Tavita a late inclusion on the bench. Dylan Walker was named but scratched due to an ankle injury and is replaced by Jazz Tevaga while Marata Niukore is also added to the bench over Tom Ale.

Both teams head into this one off the back of their first wins of 2024. The Warriors took care of the previously undefeated Raiders 18-10, while Newcastle did the same to the also previously undefeated Storm 14-12.

Good afternoon everyone, we’re just under half an hour away from kickoff in this clash between the Wahs and the… Kahs?
