Selling out 26,131 seats is a cauldron. So they booked the one stadium where 24,000 people can watch you lose in comfort.
Warriors moved to Eden Park for Knights finals showdown
The NRL confirmed the Warriors will host their first-ever final at Eden Park, facing Newcastle next Sunday at 6:05pm local in week two of the playoffs. The club preferred Mt Smart, where 26,131 fans watched Saturday's 26-16 qualifying-final loss to the Dolphins, but Eden Park seats 50,000. Centre Leka Halasima hurt a hamstring in the warm-up and prop Jackson Ford limped off with an ankle problem on his return from a 12-week pectoral tear. Coach Andrew Webster said neither injury looks good.
