LOSS 20-32
The freewheeling Warriors of old have emerged to break a 22-year duck in Western Australia and pummel South Sydney Rabbitohs to the tune of 32-20 at Perth's new stadium. While all eyes were on Greg Inglis's first game since rupturing his ACL some 370 days ago, it was the re-emergence of Shaun Johnson and the Warriors attacking flare that stole the show in the first act of Saturday's double header. In their 10th match on WA soil going way back to 1996, the Warriors racked up their first Perth win with equal parts flare and sorely needed focus as recruit Blake Green gave Johnson freedom to play the footy few can match, and all will watch. The wobbles so famously associated with the Warriors threatened late as usual, when Solomone Kata wound up in the sin bin and Souths sniffed a comeback from what was at one point a 20-point deficit. But the Kiwi outfit held strong as Johnson finished with two line breaks and a hand several tries. Three tough conversion misses from his boot meant the final score flattered, while Inglis came through the 80 minutes unscathed but with little impact otherwise. The safety-first football that ended 2017 with nine straight losses was shelved by the Warriors as impressive youngster Isaiah Papali'i punched holes at will down the left edge and David Fusitu'a's finishing prowess earned him a double. But to start it was the defence of Roger Tuviasa-Sheck that made the most telling mark. Crunching opposite number Alex Johnston in a brutal try-saving tackle, the former Rooster came up crowing to his teammates and urging them to follow his defensive mettle. But with old habits dying somewhat hard, by the 10th minute that same Warriors defence had gone to water. Some light stepping from Robert Jennings on the last exposed the right edge, allowing Cody Walker to slide through it for a 6-0 South Sydney lead. With the Rabbitohs making all the running the Warriors took to the air to square up, finding fruit through the boot of Shaun Johnson and Papali'i gobbling up a try in support. Back in the ball game, they then took to dictating it with a second try in as many minutes as quick hands from Tohu Harris sent Fusitu'a over in the corner. Despite being on the wrong end of 7-1 penalty count after half an hour, the Warriors went tit for tat with the Bunnies as a try to club debutant Richie Kennar was answered in kind by Sam Lisone Only a dubious forward pass call against Walker – which had Jennings over in the shadows of half-time – halted the try trading. And rubbing it right in was Johnson with his first serious foray, splitting the defence on the last play of the half before fine hands from Fusitu'a collected his pass and creating a 20-10 lead. With Johnson and Green looking more comfortable by the moment, another right-side shift had Tuisava-Sheck putting it on a platter, and Ken Maumalo helping himself and the visitors to a 14-point lead. As Sam Burgess's frustrations got the better of him and he pegged the ball in anger, the Warriors put the foot to the floor, piling on another four-pointer through Kata. The Tongan centre was soon given a 10-minute breather at the hour-mark though, after three consecutive penalties slowed a Rabbitohs assault on the Warriors line. A second try to Kennar down a short side kept Souths alive, and another second-half fade out loomed as the Rabbitohs made two telling late breaks. But with both plays breaking down and points going begging, a 77th-minute scurry to the tryline from Walker once more proved too little too late, as the Warriors left the West victorious at last.

Reserve Grade - Intrust Super NSW Premiership - Round 1
v Warriors, Mt Smart Stadium, Sat Mar 10 1:00pm (NZT)
LOSS 22-30
Late Changes - Taukamo, Alatipi and Martin are out. Amanaki Veamatahau starts on the wing, Fuimaono in the second row. The Warriors have opened their 2018 Intrust Super Premiership NSW season with a win, defeating the Bears 30-22 in a tight tussle at Mt Smart Stadium. Played in autumn sunshine in Auckland, both teams were looking to give their respective new coaches a win, with former NRL player Shane Millard taking the reins at North Sydney and John Teina recently promoted from assistant coach for the home side. The home side got off to a keen start, threatening the Bears’ line with back-to-back sets. An early penalty gave the Bears good field position, and in their first real attacking opportunity, the ball was spread wide to winger Mawene Hiroti to open the scoring in the eighth minute. In the 13th minute, following some heavy hits, the Warriors forced a repeat set, and mirrored the Bears’ earlier play, with winger Lewis Soosemea diving over in the corner after picking up the ball off his bootlaces. The Bears consistently created overlaps down each edge, bending the defensive line and spinning out of tackles. Poor discipline from the home side then gave the Bears multiple opportunities at the line, with fullback Braidon Burns crossing for the visitors’ second try down the right edge. Soon after, Tyrell Fuimaono gathered a bouncing kick down the left wing, and after an in-goal juggle, scored the Bears’ third try. Soon after, Warriors debutant fullback Hayze Perham zig-zagged across the 10-metre line, hitting a fast-running Chanel Harris-Tavita on the chest, who scored under the bar. Minutes later, captain James Bell crossed, and the goalpost denied the Warriors the chance to equalise with the conversion attempt. The first half was punctuated by speed from Dean Hawkins and Hiroti, and straight, hard running from Warriors forwards Patrick Sipley and late inclusion Agnatius Paasi. The second 40 opened with the Warriors testing the Bears’ defence, but their final tackle options were uninspired. Penalties and field position were traded for 20 minutes but neither side were able to convert as misguided passes and touches of fatigue set in. With 18 minutes remaining, Fuimaono was sent to the sin bin for a professional foul, and the Warriors chose to take the two points, levelling the score at 16-16. With the man advantage, Soosemea soon crossed for two more tries, to complete his hat-trick, showing fancy footwork and a turn of speed. Testament to the tit-fot-tat nature of the game, the Bears rallied with a try to Vincent Leuluai with nine minutes remaining. The Warriors then added two points after the Bears were penalised for a strip, requiring the Bears to score twice to level. The home side retained possession and ran the clock down to emerge victorious.
