The NZ Warriors achieved a remarkable 32-20 victory over the second-placed Parramatta in the Jersey Flegg Cup match on Saturday at Kellyville Park, marking their best win of the season.
This victory follows a narrow defeat against Cronulla and a previous win against South Sydney.
The match began with a thrilling long-range try from right winger Raphael Sio, but the Warriors faced challenges with errors, trailing 4-10 just before halftime.
However, their performance dramatically improved.
Winger Harry Tauafiafi-Iutoi scored a try from a long pass by standoff Jack Thompson, narrowing the gap to 8-10.
Shortly after, as the Warriors aggressively attacked the Parramatta line, Jett Cleary executed an impressive play, allowing interchange forward Tepatasi Laumalili to power through and score, taking the lead.
