Adam Pompey and Jackson Ford each scored doubles as the NZ Warriors defeated the Newcastle Knights 26-12 in Christchurch, securing their first Anzac Day win since 2014.
Ford, celebrating his 50th match, starred despite a late benching, while Pompey punished defensive errors to dominate the left edge.
The Warriors built a 16-0 halftime lead through kicks and capitalized on sin bins and loose defence to stay ahead.
A key break by Luke Metcalf set up the final blow, as the Warriors moved to second on the NRL ladder while the Knights slumped to their fifth straight loss.
