It’s last chance saloon time for the New Zealand Warriors as they take on the eighth-placed Cronulla Sharks knowing only a win can keep their season alive. Tune in to this crunch match on the Gold Coast live scores on The Roar from 3pm (AEST).
The Warriors have dealt with more than any other NRL side throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; but against all odds, they have kept themselves in with a faint chance of finals ahead of the final month.
A thrilling 2-point win over the Tigers last week got them off to a great start in the post-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck era, but they’ll probably need to win all of their last four games to surge into the last eight.
Currently, that eighth spot is the Sharks’ to lose, though their Round 20 loss to the Sea Eagles leaves them only points differential ahead of the Raiders and Tigers. A loss here guarantees they’ll finish the round at least ninth, and with a final-round match against the Storm looming large, they’ll want to be safe and sound in the eight well before then.
Jesse Ramien returns in the centres for the Sharks, who are otherwise unchanged; while the Warriors welcome back Chanel Harris-Tavita, Matt Lodge and Addin Fonua-Blake from injury, but lose hooker Taniela Otukolo (knee).
