Warriors v Cowboys: Promising signs as Warriors claim brilliant NRL ... (New Zealand Herald)

Against a high-level NRL team – who were one game from the grand final last year – this was a red-letter day for the Warriors. After trailing 12-6 in the 13th ...

The Cowboys tried to rally but the Warriors held firm, highlighted by a stunning sequence of defensive plays, with Johnson, Pompey and Tuaupiki all coming up with vital try-saving tackles. They turned down two kickable penalties, before a Martin cut-out pass sent Montoya over, with the winger finishing well with no room to move. That was the signal for the Warriors to lift. It was made by Fonua-Blake – powering off a clever Harris pass – before Egan did well to twist and force the ball under pressure. The centre steamrolled Valentine Holmes, then managed a remarkable offload to his winger, despite three defenders hanging off him. The forwards were immense, with Tohu Harris, Addin Fonua-Blake and Wayde Egan outstanding.

“We haven’t had that in stages in the start of the season and we just wanted to see how dominant they could be. Once they did, the likes of Dylan Walker, Jazz Tevaga, Addin Fonua-Blake and Harris could exhibit their ball skills.
