The New Zealand Warriors secured a historic 31-30 victory over the Manly Sea Eagles in the final round of the 2026 NRL regular season. The win marks the franchise's 18th victory of the season, setting a new club record for the most wins in a single season.

Warriors coach Andrew Webster noted that while the team achieved a significant milestone, there is still work to be done regarding edge defense and defensive detail ahead of the finals series. The victory also provided a crucial test for the team's composure in high-pressure moments involving field goal decisions.

Depending on the results of other matches, the Warriors are positioned to host either the Dolphins or the Roosters in the first week of the NRL finals.
