In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the Warriors managed to pull off a miraculous feat by scoring eight points in the final minute to send the game into golden point against the Sea Eagles.

However, the controversial game-tying call has left fans divided.

The New Zealand Warriors have achieved the impossible by securing a point in a thrilling 22-all draw with the Manly Sea Eagles at Go Media Stadium in Auckland.

This rare result marks only the 18th draw in the NRL's golden point era, which stretches back to 2003, as neither team could emerge victorious after 90 minutes of intense action.

Just when it seemed like the Sea Eagles were cruising to a solid victory across the Tasman, holding a 22-14 lead as the clock winded down, the Warriors refused to back down.

With just over a minute left on the clock, they launched a daring play that saw Shaun Johnson feed Dallin Watene-Zelezniak for a crucial try in the corner.

The conversion left a mere 47 seconds on the clock, giving the Warriors a glimmer of hope.

With time running out, the Warriors had one final chance to salvage a draw.

Johnson attempted a bold 45m field goal, but unfortunately, it fell short of the mark, leaving the fate of the game hanging in the balance.

In a sport known for its unpredictability and nail-biting finishes, this match certainly lived up to its reputation.

The Warriors' last-minute heroics and the ensuing controversy have left fans on the edge of their seats, showcasing the thrilling and unpredictable nature of Rugby League.
