Report
The Seattle Seawolves host the Utah Warriors in a Western Conference clash at Starfire Stadium during Round 16 of the 2023 season.
With both teams fighting for the playoffs, it was bound to be an entertaining contest that did not disappoint. The Seawolves emerged as 27-20 victors, but not before Utah’s Joe Mano scored his 13th & 14th tries of the 2023 season to give him the lead in the try scoring race with 2 games to go!
Even though they were denied the 4 try bonus point, Seattle still clinched their spot in the playoffs, and are the only team left challenging the San Diego Legion for the #1 spot in the West and that bye to the Conference Finals! The Warriors did pick up a valuable losing bonus point, but now need to win both their remaining games to give themselves the best spot at the post-season, and hope that Houston slip up.
