Warriors Focused on This Weekend Amid Home Final Venue Uncertainty

The club is on track for a rare home play-off, currently leading the NRL table with two rounds remaining, but where that potential home final will be played remains uncertain. While the Warriors have been emphatic about wanting to remain at Go Media Stadium, the match could be moved to Eden Park to accommodate a significantly larger crowd. With a 50,000 capacity, Eden Park can hold roughly double the number of fans as Mt Smart, offering the NRL the prospect of increased gate takings.

The NRL sent clubs its updated finals policy before the start of the season, stating that 'for all NRL finals matches, ARLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine venues considered most suitable to host NRL and NRLW Final Series matches. That leaves the Warriors with limited control over the decision, but CEO Cameron George is prepared to make the club's case for staying home. 'I still haven't had any conversation with the NRL. To be fair to us and everyone else, we're just focused on this weekend.
