A big return for the Warriors ahead of tonight's NRL clash against the Bulldogs in Sydney

A big return for the Warriors ahead of tonight's NRL clash against the Bulldogs in Sydney

9 August 2025 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Captain James Fisher-Harris will start at prop, having recovered from a calf issue.

That means Marata Niukore heads to the second row, with Leka Halasima moved to the bench.

Eddie Ieremia-Toeava drops out of the 17.

A Warriors win would see them reclaim fourth spot from Penrith - who moved into the top four with their ninth straight win - thumping the Knights 48-12 in Newcastle.
