The chief executive of the Warriors believes the side will play the winner of the Newcastle Knights and Canberra Raiders match at Mount Smart on Saturday night.
However, the exact details, including the time it will be played and where, are yet to be confirmed by the NRL.
Speaking to the Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin on Newstalk ZB this morning following the Warriors’ 32-6 defeat to the Penrith Panthers, Warriors chief executive Cameron George was “pretty sure” the match would be at Mount Smart next week.
“We’re waiting for confirmation on that detail today but Saturday night makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons in New Zealand and Australia. The guys that we’re playing, either Newcastle or Canberra, play today so [the NRL] need to take that into account. That’s why I think Saturday will be the perfect fit for everyone.”
George wasn’t sure what time the kick-off would be but he thought it would be another 6pm match.
