They should have Jesse Arthars and Chanel Harris-Tavita back on deck next week and enforcer Ben Murdoch-Masila the following week. Today's performance was off the back of the players bringing energy but also off playing in front of your crowd and what they bring." "I wasn't happy with a lot of things we did defensively, we need to be a lot better there. Once the team gets back in some routine [next year] and these guys are in a good mood with their family around them. From a standing start 'The Foxx' slipped into overdrive and raced 90 metres to post the 118th try of his 147-game career. A change in mindset to what we had the week before.

But the Bulldogs kept finding a way, while the Warriors were getting frustrated, with led to Josh Addo-Carr's long range intercept try, as Johnson chanced his arm on a cut out ball. But Walsh fumbled the next hit-up to gift a try to the visitors, as Kyle Flanagan swooped. The Sydney team were hanging on, but you knew there would be a response, especially with the Warriors' third quarter issues this year. The champagne bottle was out – but never quite uncorked – in a frustrating second quarter. Wrong options were taken, players were pushed over the sideline and Vailea shelled a pass with the line wide open. It should never have been that close, as the Warriors had led 18-6 after 18 minutes, but they couldn't convert numerous opportunities in the second quarter.

Despite going close through Matt Burton, the Bulldogs scored off the proceeding play when Aaron Schoupp found Jake Averillo to cut the Warriors lead in half.

The home side wasn't finished, off a kickoff penalty, the Warriors sent it left and Walsh found Kosi for his try double. Off the ensuing play, Johnson provided a lovely pass to Eli Katoa and the man who's farewelling the club at the end of the season crashed over to re-take the lead for the home side as we entered the final quarter of the game. The start of the second forty was just as reminiscent of the first half. Despite going close through Matt Burton, the Bulldogs scored off the proceeding play when Aaron Schoupp found Jake Averillo to cut the Warriors lead in half. It was his well-timed pass that sent Villiami Vailea away to cross for the first try. It was the home side that got off to a hot start scoring twice inside the first fifteen minutes.

Edward Kosi had two of their seven tries, while Reece Walsh kicked perfectly from the tee.

Shaun Johnson wound back the clock and scored the match-sealing try as the Warriors beat Canterbury 42-18 in Auckland. The novelty of having the Warriors ...

“The big focus for us all week was attitude and a change in mindset from the week before,” said Jones. “You can fix attitude in a week … coming home also really boosted this group. But it wasn’t very good for us, though.” But they were good tonight, they came up with some really good last tackle plays,” he said. Six minutes from time, Johnson made amends for the intercept, stepping through the line and throwing a beautiful dummy to score under the posts. The Warriors were made to pay for not scoring after the ball was gifted back to them by the Bulldogs, with Euan Aitken knocking on over the line. It was a huge relief, we shortened everything up.
