Mannering's 300th match is already a sell out, with the Mt Smart faithful set to turn out to honour one of the Warriors' greatest ever players.

The Warriors are guaranteed a spot in the NRL play‑off finals and take on the Canberra Raiders in Auckland at 8pm Friday night in their final round match of the season.

The other teams who have confirmed places are Storm, Roosters, Broncos, Panthers, Rabbitohs, Dragons and Sharks.
