The Sea Eagles will be brimming with confidence after an impressive win over the Panthers while the Warriors will be looking to make it four on the trot when the two NRL powerhouses meet in Auckland.
Stamping their class on the competition after coming from behind to down the premiers at 4 Pines Park, Manly's next challenge is to overcome their recent record on the road after tough trips to Parramatta and Wollongong.
And there's arguably no greater challenge then travelling across the Tasman to meet with a Warriors side who have well and truly hit their straps, rising to their third-consecutive win on the back of another Shaun Johnson masterclass.
With Daly Cherry-Evans hot off his record breaking 310th appearance for the Sea-Eagles, the Round 6 clash is shaping up to be a mouthwatering match-up between the two veteran halfbacks.
