It’s do or die for the Warriors as they head into this weekend’s sudden death match against the Newcastle Knights with a spot in the preliminary final against the Penrith Panthers on the line.
Last weekend the Warriors seemed in control against the Dolphins before three late tries saw the visitors take the win, denying the Wahs a direct path through to the next round.
Now they have to do it the hard way, and while they may have the hometown advantage, you’d be hard pressed to say they have the homeground advantage.
Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by NZ Herald sports reporters Nathan Limm and Christopher Reive to look at what went wrong last weekend and what needs to happen at Eden Park on Sunday to keep our grand final dreams alive.
