Monty Betham: former Warrior and club ambassador ahead of the team clashing with the Newcastle Knights - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Warriors are set to go up against the Newcastle Knights this weekend, and expectations are high.

The first home finals match held in New Zealand since 2008 will take place in Auckland's Go Media Stadium Mt Smart at 6.05 on Saturday.

Former Warrior and club ambassador Monty Betham is confident the team can win as demand for tickets soars.

"It really is building like that- the fans are going nuts. My phone's been ringing off the hook, people have been trying to get their link or their chance to buy pre-sales before it goes live tomorrow."
