The New Zealand Warriors (6-1-8) look to bounce back following a damaging defeat in Round 16 when they face the Brisbane Broncos (7-7) on Saturday.
Coming into the 2024 season as premiership contenders, the Warriors started their season off on the wrong note, losing six of their first ten matches, before turning it around to win three on the bounce.
Last week was nothing short of a disaster, as they were hammered by the Titans last week with a 66-6 score line, with the New Zealand side also finding no way to break the Gold Coast defence. This leaves the Warriors in 13th position, desperately trying to inch themselves into the top eight before it's too late.
The Broncos, meanwhile, are fresh off a bye and looking to turn their season around after losing three straight games, which brings their total to an even seven wins and seven losses.
