The clash against the Raiders this Sunday is make or break for the NZ Warriors' SG Ball campaign, a match that could either propel them into the top six or leave them languishing in seventh place.

The stakes are high as both teams are neck and neck on six points, with the Warriors just narrowly missing out on a top position based on points for and against.

Canberra will be entering the battlefield with confidence after a resounding 44-4 victory over Penrith, while the Warriors will be looking to redeem themselves after a close 24-32 loss to Illawarra.

With co-captain Kayliss Fatialofa back in the lineup and a new face at standoff in Tallan Egan, the Warriors are ready to take on the challenge head-on.
