NRLW tackle: Two send offs from horror tackles put Warriors' finals hopes in jeopardy
Warriors' Gray and Ikenasio face judiciary after red cards for dangerous tackles in loss to Canberra.

Warriors duo Matekino Gray and Tysha Ikenasio have both been referred straight to the judiciary after being sent off in Saturday's 20-16 loss to Canberra.
The NRL's match review committee has come down hard on the pair for two shocking tackles in Hamilton, for which they both earned early showers.
Gray was sent first for a lifting tackle in the 22nd minute which put Raiders forward Chloe Saunders headfirst into the turf, while Ikenasio (hip drop) was marched just three minutes later.
Pending suspensions will come as a big concern to the sixth-placed Warriors who are still fighting for their spot in the finals across the last four weeks of the competition while battling a stack of injuries.

Matthews Johns' 2025 NRL Top-Eight Prediction
Matthew Johns predicts the top-eight NRL teams, excluding the Sydney Roosters from contention.

Matthew Johns, a former representative playmaker for the Newcastle Knights, has shared his predictions for the top-eight teams in the upcoming NRL season, notably excluding the Sydney Roosters from his forecast.
On SEN's Morning Glory, Johns expressed confidence that the Canberra Raiders would secure the minor premiership. He anticipates the Penrith Panthers will also perform well enough to make the top four, alongside the Melbourne Storm and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Johns predicted that despite missing key players Adam Reynolds, Ezra Mam, and Selwyn Cobbo for a month, the Brisbane Broncos would maintain their spot in the finals. However, he foresees the Sydney Roosters falling short of the top eight, making way for the New Zealand Warriors, Cronulla Sharks, and the Dolphins to fill the remaining playoff positions.
