Summary
Warriors face a major injury crisis as powerhouse forward Jackson Ford goes down with a pectoral tear, likely sidelining him for 10-12 weeks and possibly missing the season’s final games. His absence hits hard, given his relentless 80-minute performances and leadership in tackles and metres — plus his Origin whispers. Compounding the woes, halfback Tanah Boyd and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck are also out with knee injuries, forcing coach Andrew Webster to turn to Tanner Stowers-Smith as Ford’s replacement. While Kurt Capewell returns from Origin duty and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak prepares for his 100th game, the Warriors brace for a brutal test against the Dolphins — riding a seven-game win streak and boosted by the return of Origin stars and halfback Isaiya Katoa.
