When the Warriors take the field, you never know what you're going to get but with tonight's opponents, that's the exact opposite.

The Panthers don't do blow outs. Not in victory, not in defeat. The winning margin in a Penrith game hasn't been more than a converted try since round 1 and the Panthers have been on the wrong side of a series of heartbreakers.

But they're always in the contest as the final siren approaches, and that should be a concern for the Warriors - any drop off could be deadly in Christchurch.

League Fix host Sam Ackerman takes us through a game day preview of the contest and the points that matter - and who should be under the microscope in both sides.

As always with the Warriors, there are plenty of unanswered questions. How will Ben Matulino and Bodene Thompson respond to getting their shot at redemption? Will Issac Luke be fired up after missing the Anzac test? Will there be a Sir Graham Henry pre-game pep talk? Who will the AMI Stadium crowd support?

We have the answer to some of these questions, come get your Fix!
