Head to Head
The Sea Eagles have a terrific record over the Warriors, winning 27 of the 39 matches played since 1995.
The Sea Eagles have won 11 out of 15 games against the Warriors in Auckland.
Friday's match will be the first time the two clubs have met in Auckland since 2019, when the Warriors got home 24-16.
Manly's last win over the Warriors was in 2017 when Daly Cherry-Evans landed a memorable left foot field goal in Golden Point for a 22-21 victory at Mt Smart Stadium.
NRL unite for Daniel Anderson
The Sea Eagles take on the Warriors in a special night as part of the NRL's Daniel Anderson Round clash. To honour the club’s former coach, the One New Zealand Warriors and naming rights sponsor Go Media have renamed the venue Daniel Anderson Stadium.
Fundraising activity for Anderson, who suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury late last year following a body surfing accident, will continue across this weekend’s NRL and NRLW matches.
