The Warriors’ season hinges on tonight's match against the Dragons, crucial for playoff chances. 

Injuries and missed opportunities have plagued the Warriors, who have won only two of their last seven games. 

A win at Mt Smart would make them a shoo-in for a playoff spot, while a loss could see them slip as low as seventh to finish the round.  

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking the injury crisis has done a number on the team this season, but they need to get the chemistry back and this is a perfect opportunity. 

He says the Warriors have to bring their old game back —their discipline, their aggression— and they need to play a bit more football.
