The New Zealand Warriors confirmed that Jackson Ford's latest injury will not end his season if the team advances in the NRL finals. Ford, crucial to the Warriors' middle rotation, sustained an ankle injury during last weekend's Qualifying Final against the Dolphins. He will miss the upcoming knockout semi-final against the Knights, but the club remains optimistic about his potential return for the Preliminary Final or Grand Final. Other injury updates include Rocco Berry and Luke Metcalf, both recovering from hamstring injuries, with Metcalf possibly ready to play later in the finals. Meanwhile, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Tanah Boyd are out for the season due to ACL injuries.
