The Warriors dropped to third on the NRL ladder after a disappointing 18-6 loss to the Bulldogs in Sydney, producing a flat performance that rarely troubled the home side.
Canterbury took control with two early tries from captain Stephen Crichton and Jacob Preston to establish a 12-0 halftime lead, before Jacob Kiraz extended the margin after the break as the Warriors continued to undermine themselves with errors.
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak thought he had finally put his side on the board, only for his effort to be ruled out for a forward pass, while Chanel Harris-Tavita’s late try from Mitch Barnett’s clever last-tackle kick provided little more than consolation.
The defeat not only cost the Warriors second place on the ladder but also raised fresh injury concerns after fullback Taine Tuaupiki was forced from the field in the opening half with a foot injury.
How the hell do these players get paid big money for playing like that people must be totally brain washed that support some of these teams.
