Sea Eagles vs Warriors Predictions & Tips: NRL Round 27 2025
Something still to play for
The Sea Eagles needed a strong performance against the Dragons on the road and thankfully for their Finals chances, captured a 40-24 victory. Powerful throughout and dominating their opponents, the Sea Eagles put on a classy 7 try display. The result was never in doubt as they lead 22-6 at HT, underpinned by a 53% share of possession, averaging 9.9m per carry, having 9 line breaks and missing just 18 tackles. Whether they can produce this against the stronger teams in the competition remains unknown.
Top 4 hopes slipping away
The Warriors were upset 26-22 at home by the Eels last week, a major blow to their Top 4 chances. Trailing for majority of the match, their opponents simply desired a successful result more than they did on the night. Despite a 54% share of possession, an 81% completion rate and 9.7m per carry, the Warriors couldn’t crack their opponents when it mattered. There is little fault in their effort with 725PCM’s and just 22 missed tackles underpinning the execution level of this team. However, that result is about to become a major issue for them.
Stats that matter
- The Warriors won the Round 2 fixture against the Sea Eagles 36-16. This increased the average margin of victory to 14.6 in their past 5 meetings.
- These two teams are matched closely in term of their 2025 point averages. The Sea Eagles average 22ppg on both sides of the ball whereas the Warriors score 21ppg in attack but allow just 20ppg in defence.
- The Sea Eagles have a strong record at home, winning 62% of matches here. The Warriors win just 44% of matches played here.
The wrong favourite
The Warriors signalled their intentions by naming their strongest team to take the field against the Sea Eagles. Still, the home side are listed as strong favourites. While they too will need a win to impact their chances of featuring next week, their desired outcome is unlikely to occur. A strong home record ensures they are supported as favourites for this game but that undervalues the ability of the Warriors. They are the superior team in this contest and have proven as much this season. The Sea Eagles are inconsistent over 80 minutes and teams like the Warriors know how to make opponents pay for their mistakes. The odds are wrong in this contest and therefore, the value lies within taking the Warriors to win this match.

Sea Eagles vs Warriors Same Game Multi
Leg 1 = Total Points over 46.5 – while their season averages may suggest it isn’t possible, the average total points in their past 5 matches has bene 47.4 points, with 3 out of those matches totalling 51 points or more.
Leg 2 = Saab to score – he is dynamic against the Warriors, scoring 9 tries in his past 5 matches against them; this also includes 2 hattricks. He will again be a threat against them both in the air and on the ground. Watch for the Sea Eagles to head to his edge as much as possible.
Leg 3 = Watene-Zelezniak to score – it has been a few quiet weeks for the Warriors winger but much like Saab, he likes this matchup. He has scored 6 tries in his past 3 matches against the Sea Eagles and will be out to continue his positive run of form against them.
