In a commanding rebound from their recent loss to the Titans, the Warriors surged to a 32-16 triumph over Brisbane in Auckland on Saturday.
Te Maire Martin, stepping up in Shaun Johnson’s absence, orchestrated the victory with a stellar performance in the No.7 jersey. Martin’s influence was evident as he engineered three tries and scored one himself, setting the pace for the Warriors’ seventh win of the season.
The match saw an early setback for Brisbane with Jack Gosiewski’s departure due to injury, giving the Warriors an early advantage.
Martin’s precision passing put Chanel Harris-Tavita through for an early try, backed by Adam Pompey’s successful conversion. Momentum stayed with the Warriors as Martin’s strategic play from dummy half and a well-placed grubber added further points.
Despite a spirited effort from the Broncos, highlighted by Deine Mariner’s brace of tries, the Warriors maintained control. Martin’s tactical kick for Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and a crucial assist to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak sealed the victory, leaving the Broncos struggling to recover and marking their fourth consecutive defeat.
