Refreshed after a week off, the One New Zealand Warriors begin the run-in to the end of the SG Ball Cup (under-19) competition’s regular season when they take on the St George Dragons at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney on Sunday (1.00pm kick-off local time; 3.00pm NZT).

They resume their campaign after another heartbreaking loss in their last game when they led 18-16 for a period before falling to an 18-22 loss to Western Suburbs.

Similarly they were pipped cruelly 28-26 by Illawarra and were also right in the fight in other matches as well but are still without a win.

They face a Dragons side which is on one point from a draw but has a points for and against record which is inferior; they’ve scored only 88 points and conceded 214 while the Warriors have a 104-186 record.
