NZ Warriors aim to rebound against Dragons after consecutive home defeats and player challenges.
The NZ Warriors are looking to bounce back from consecutive home defeats as they prepare for today's round nine NRLW clash against the Dragons. The team's recent losses to the Raiders and the Sharks have dropped them to seventh place on the ladder, just behind the Titans.
Despite struggling with injuries and suspensions, emerging playmaker Patricia Maliepo has demonstrated her ability to take charge and lead her team to potential victories.
Similarly, the Dragons have faced significant challenges due to player unavailability, but several young talents have stepped up and made an impression. After losing to the Titans last weekend, coach Nathan Cross is optimistic that returning home will provide the foundation for a vital win.
