The mighty Sharks were left reeling as the Warriors staged a glorious comeback in Shaun Johnson's 200th game, with the legendary halfback orchestrating a fairytale ending to his illustrious career.
The Sharks found themselves up 22-4 at halftime, looking to be in control of the game.
However, Johnson and the Warriors had other plans.
In a remarkable second half turnaround, the Warriors clawed their way back from a 18-point deficit to secure a thrilling 30-28 victory at PointsBet Stadium.
The Sharks, who had seemed unbeatable in the first half, were left shellshocked as Johnson's magic on the field inspired his team to victory.
Just when it looked like the Sharks had sealed the win with a late try from rookie Samuel Stonestreet, Johnson dug deep and refused to let his team go down without a fight.
With the game hanging in the balance, Johnson made a bold decision to run the ball instead of attempting a field goal, setting up Dallin Watene-Zelezniak for the match-winning try with a pinpoint pass.
Watene-Zelezniak's hat-trick, all assisted by Johnson, sealed the deal for the Warriors in what was a sensational display of skill and determination.
Johnson's masterclass on the field, including a dazzling dummy and step that led to Luke Metcalfe's early try, was a reminder of his unrivaled talent and impact on the game.
In what was the Warriors' final game of the season, Johnson's heroics will go down in Rugby League folklore as a testament to his legacy in the sport.
The Sharks may have been overrun on the day, but the spirit and resilience shown by both teams made for a truly memorable showdown.
