In a classic display of Rugby League grit and determination, the Warriors triumphed over the Panthers in a thrilling clash that will go down in the annals of history.
Isaah Yeo's unprecedented nine-year sin binning, a first in the game's storied past, proved to be a turning point as the Panthers faltered under pressure.
Without their fearless leader Nathan Cleary, the Panthers turned to Jarome Luai to steer the ship in a sea of uncertainty, with State of Origin looming on the horizon.
It was a make-or-break moment for Luai, who faced the daunting task of leading his team against a hungry Warriors side eager for redemption.
With Jack Cole stepping up to the plate in Luai's absence, the Panthers' attack took on a new look as they sought to break the Warriors' winning drought.
However, costly errors and a lack of possession proved to be their downfall, as Dylan Edwards' dodgy radar failed to find its mark.
As the game reached its climax, Isaah Yeo's ill-timed interference from an offside position landed him in the sin bin, a move that proved fatal for the Panthers.
Despite their best efforts, the Panthers were unable to overcome the determined Warriors, who celebrated Dallin Watene-Zelezniak's 200th NRL game with a victory and a spirited haka.
In the end, it was a display of sheer determination and resilience that carried the Warriors to victory, leaving the Panthers to rue missed opportunities and costly mistakes.
It was a game that will be remembered for years to come, a true testament to the heart and soul of Rugby League.
