New Zealand Warriors vs Redcliffe Dolphins Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: NRL Round 12, 2024

The New Zealand Warriors face the Redcliffe Dolphins on Sunday at the Go Media Stadium in the NRL Round 12.

The Warriors upset the No 3 ranked Penrith Panthers in their round 11 meeting, a match few thought they would win. The Warriors overwhelmed the Panthers, giving them a tough fight in the first half before securing victory.

The win came despite their fragmented lineup amid their string of losses. On Sunday, they face the No 4 ranked Dolphins and attempt to prove that their success hasn't come by luck.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, are on a three-game winning streak. They beat the North Queensland Cowboys by two points and followed up with a six point victory against the Manly Sea Eagles before securing their third win against the Wests Tigers in a 12-point dominant victory.

It's uncertain how this match could go, especially as the Dolphins entered a downward trajectory at this time last season. Will the Warriors cause two upsets in a row, or will the Dolphins keep up their momentum with a fourth back-to-back win? This is a tough one to pick, but the Dolphins are the obvious bet to make.
