The NZ Warriors achieved another dramatic victory in the Jersey Flegg Cup, marking an impressive comeback against the Rabbitohs after just a week of a similar feat against the Bulldogs.
In their previous match, the Warriors overcame a significant halftime deficit of 6-22 to secure a 40-28 win, showcasing an impressive second half with a 34-6 scoring spree.
In their recent match, the Warriors started strong, establishing a 12-0 lead.
However, they faced increasing pressure throughout the game, and the earlier dominance turned into a struggle.
Captain and hooker Jaydee Auloa made an impactful play by breaking free from dummy half, sprinting 43 meters before linking up with Kahu Capper, who scored as he neared the line, highlighting the Warriors' initial promise.
Despite the good start, the players needed to rally once again to clinch the win against the Rabbitohs, emphasizing their resilience in defining moments.
