After three away games in the opening four rounds, the One New Zealand Warriors now finish their SG Ball Cup (under-19) regular season with five straight home fixtures at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe.

The run starts against the Balmain Tigers (11.45am kick-off) on Sunday with Illawarra, Canberra, Cronulla Sutherland and St George Illawarra to follow.

The Grant Pocklington-coached Warriors topped 40 points for the second time in four games with a 44-14 win over South Sydney last Sunday.

That leaves them sitting on four points with two wins and two losses so far.

The Tigers lie 15th on the ladder with four losses, the most recent a 10-28 defeat by Melbourne last weekend.
