The Vodafone Warriors are coming home to play at Mt Smart Stadium for the first time in 716 days following confirmation they’ll host the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs in their round 22 NRL clash.
The match will also double as a special farewell for captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck who will be eyeing his last home game in Auckland before he finishes up with the Vodafone Warriors.
The match will end a drought of one year, 11 months and 16 days – 17,180 hours – between games at Mt Smart Stadium, the Vodafone Warriors’ last encounter at their home ground being against the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Friday, August 30, 2019.
By the time they meet Canterbury Bankstown on August 15, they would have played their last 20 home games in Australia.
