The Warriors are in for a challenge as they aim to go two for two in the NRL season.  

They stunned the Roosters in their opening clash, claiming victory 42-18 at Mt Smart Stadium.  

The Warriors are back at Mount Smart tonight, this time for a clash against the Raiders. 

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking the Roosters were ill-disciplined – they didn’t give respect to the Warriors, and they got caned in all areas of the game. 

But the Raiders are a different side, and he says their ruck speed is the best in the game – if you control that, you control the game.
