Oloapu scored early off the back off 2 penalties to open the match. Nice right foot step. He's a very highly rated talent, so a good chance to watch him today

Volkman, Tuaupiki and Berry then combined to put Graham-Taufa over to score...not that he didn't have work to do. Good hit back with our first possession.

Warriors then hot on attack after winning a questionable penalty for a high shot on a falling Tuaupiki. Maiu'u bursts onto a short and flat pass from Roache.

Bulldogs making errors. Hopefully we capitalise before they pull it all together

Tu jams in and smashes a Bulldog. Somehow we win a penalty out of it

Warriors have had plenty of opportunities but haven't really been able to convert it to points. Bulldogs defense has been good, but they just keep making errors. Reece Hoffman with another one, coming out of their 20.

Berry with a great cover tackle to take the Bulldogs' winger Wilson over the sideline when he was looking likely.

Bulldogs hot on attack and the refs miss one of the most blatant knock ons ever. More great cover defense from Going and Farr shuts down a try scoring opportunity

12-6 to the Warriors at HT

Warriors will probably feel like they are a try short given the way that half went. Bulldogs made so many errors and we didn't make the most of the chances from that. Our completion rate is 87% and the Bulldogs' is 50%. Errors 2-7. Penalty count 7-4. Tackles made 62-145.

Leiataua with some more great cover defense with the Bulldogs attacking the line

Tuaupiki with some more great defense on their own like to deny Oloapu. Not a relieving penalty. Warriors in good position

Gavet playing well.

Ball goes wide to Berry, faced with 2 on 3 and he somehow draws in all 3 and gets the ball out to Graham-Taufa to score.

18-6

Reynolds shows his class, scooting out of dummy half and then puts a deft, deliberate kick over into the corner for Kautoga to score. Important kick now form the sideline for Papalii...and he nails it.

Volkman gets nailed again after his kick, this time illegally. Now, a well worked play for Graham-Taufa to score a hattrick

wow Maui's with a barnstorming run.

Burns gets him eventually and then cynically holds on. Gets binned, rightfully so.

Smart play down Burns' side. Farr dummies right then goes left to create the overlap. Leaitaua to Tu to score.

30-12, 62 mins gone

Kautoga barges over for his second. Pretty soft right edge defense from the Warriors.

Papalii nails the kick. Great goal kicking today

30-18

Sloppy error gives the Bulldogs a chance to come back into this game with 10 minutes to go
