The NZ Warriors secured a thrilling 24-26 comeback victory over the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown, thanks to a stunning runaway try from forward Leka Halasima and a clutch late penalty from halfback Luke Metcalf.
Despite a strong challenge from the rejuvenated Tigers—who had seized a 24-18 lead midway through the second half—the Warriors clawed their way back, with Halasima’s long-range effort leveling the scores and Metcalf nailing a difficult penalty into the wind to seal their third consecutive win.
The gritty performance, praised by co-captain Mitch Barnett, pushes the Warriors to sixth on the NRL ladder heading into their bye week.
