That is all we have from Hamilton tonight. Thanks for tuning into Tribe's NRL coverage. Still the Roosters and the Dolphins to come on Super Saturday. Flick over for that one! Until next time, I'm Dan Gread saying good evening.Plenty of heart from the Tigers tonight. Laurie was the stand out, slicing through the line a number of times. Koroisau was excellent out of dummy half but errors and penalties in that second half saw them fall short. They head home next week to take on the Dolphins.Another solid match from Johnson in the middle. Fonua-Blake was massive in the middle running for over 220 meters! Harris was a work horse through the middle while Tuaupiki was solid at the back. The Warriors will be happy with the two points but there are plenty of work ons going into the Sea Eagles match at home next week.The match went back and forth in that second half. Harris crashed over soon after the break to put the Warriors out to a 10 point lead. Laurie cut through and scored soon after. Johnson added a penalty and then it was Fonua-Blake crashing over close to the end to seal it for the Warriors. A late consolation for Starford To'a saw the Tigers narrow the gap but ultimately they were just short.What a fantastic match in front of a full crowd in Hamilton!
