2023 – RD 16: Seattle Seawolves v Utah Warriors

27 v 20

Recap

The Seattle Seawolves host the Utah Warriors in a Western Conference clash at Starfire Stadium.

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.
