Winners - The Warriors, of courseIt’s all building nicely in 2023 for the now hottest sports ticket in Auckland. Warriors fans will be wary that workload could point to a bad run, but soak in the success for now. Also worth noting the Warriors are now 4-2 over Todd Payten since the former coach left for the Cowboys in 2021. Cane has been impressive to start the season after bearing the brunt of an up-and-down All Blacks season last year. Next Thursday the two clubs clash in what could ultimately decide the title, so neutral fans are the real winners.
