The Warriors are back in Middle Earth this weekend, looking for their first ever win in the Capital in 4 attempts.
Confidence will be boosted after a hard fought win in Townsville - their first there in 12 years. However, they face the Wests Tigers who have surprised many with their tough competitive streak this season - this despite missing Benji Marshall.

Wellington is sort of a forgotten hotbed of rugby league in New Zealand - tucked away behind the East Harbour Ranges is probably one of New Zealand league's great strongholds, Wainuoiumata. Former All Black Piri Weepu was bred through the rugby league club along with current sports commentator, Ken Laban.
Indeed, Wellington has been mentioned as a possible candidate for a new expansion franchise in the next 2 years as the NRL looks to boost its profile in New Zealand where the NRL has never had it better.
So if you're a Warriors fan based in the centre of the country, try and make it to Wellington to follow your team!
Here are some highlights from past Warriors games in Wellington!
