On the back of consecutive wins over South Sydney and Balmain, the One New Zealand Warriors have an opportunity to move further up the ladder when they face Illawarra in Sunday’s sixth-round Harold Matthews Cup battle at Pukekohe’s Navigation Homes Stadium (10.00am kick-off).

The TJ Ashford-coached side began the Warriors’ debut in the under-17 competition with losses to top five sides Parramatta and the Sydney Roosters but they’ve made significant progress since eking out successes over the Rabbitohs (22-17) and the Balmain Tigers (16-4).

With two points from their bye, they now sit 10th on six points but level with sixth-placed Newcastle.

Making his mark in the wins has been loose forward Lennox Tuiloma who had a double against the Rabbitohs and powered his way over for another try against the Tigers.

The Steelers sit 13th in the 17-team competition with one win from the four games they’ve played.
