In a thrilling bout between the New Zealand Warriors and the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium, the Warriors emerged victorious with a 22-20 win, keeping their season alive and kicking.

It was a nail-biting match that had fans on the edge of their seats, with both teams trading blows like heavyweight boxers in the ring.

The Warriors' cult hero, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, marked his 200th game with a stirring sideline act that sent shivers down the spines of everyone watching.

His performance was nothing short of legendary, reminiscent of Rugby League greats of the past who etched their names into the annals of history.

Young full back, Taine Tuaupiki, was the hero of the hour, scoring a crucial try and converting it to give the Warriors the lead with just 10 minutes left on the clock.

And when Panthers fullback, Dylan Edwards, had a chance to force the game into overtime with a penalty kick, he faltered under the pressure, missing the mark by a whisker.

This was a game that showcased the true grit and determination of the Warriors, as they fought tooth and nail to break a losing streak and reignite their season.

It was a performance that will be talked about in hushed tones for years to come, a moment of pure sporting magic that transcends the boundaries of the game.
