New Zealand Warriors v Sydney Roosters
Sunday Afternoon, Mt Smart Stadium
New Zealand's steadied improvement has been on show for the better part of a month and while they didn't get the result they were after on Anzac Day, they are still many positives for Warriors fans.
Sydney got out of jail in their Anzac Day clash, as their poor defensive effort late in the game was bailed out by Mitchell Pearce's golden point field goal.
The tri-colours sit third on the ladder and can climb up to top spot with a win however it won't come easy, as the Warriors have a 3-1 home record, with their lone loss coming against the top of the table Storm.
The continuity in the Warriors side is helping them gel as a team and Shaun Johnson and co will have their eyes firmly set on peppering the Roosters' defensive line which showed it can be indecisive at times.
While it's tough to pick a winner, we'll jump on the home team to continue their solid form at Mt Smart Stadium.
Warriors by 3.
