Warriors vs. Dragons Predictions

Best Bet
We’re happy to take the –5.5 line in case it moves to –6.5 on game day. The Warriors are trying to end a three-game losing streak, and it couldn’t have happened at a worse time.
They were battling for a top four spot, but the Panthers leapfrogged them last week. However, a win over the Dragons on Friday night could stem the flow and set them up to at least play in the NRL finals, which isn’t yet guaranteed.
Despite losing Kurt Capewell, their odds have shifted, so that’s a good sign, and they’re a much better team than the Dragons, who rarely put back-to-back wins together.

It should be a high-scoring game in perfect conditions in Auckland, so we’re backing over 42.5. Some of those points could come from the Warriors’ star players Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Roger Tuisasa-Sheck.
Watene-Zelezniak has been rocks or diamonds for much of 2025, but he’s a quality winger, and he’s one of the best finishers in the NRL. He should get a chance to score with Tanah Boyd back in the team, which is a big help.
Tuivasa-Sheck is all class, and he has been the shining light for the Warriors. Punters get $1.86 for the former All Black to score his fourth try from his last six games, and his power running close to the line should be enough.

Best Value Bet
What the Warriors need is a massive performance in front of a home crowd. They have been waiting for it, and this situation is ideal against the Dragons.
Playing at Go Media Stadium helps the Warriors, and after some less-than-stellar performances, they should hit back with a comfortable win.
Back them to win by 13+ at the $3 price, which is worth snapping up.
