The Warriors have staged a comeback win over the Dragons to move back to fourth on the NRL points ladder.
The victory at Mt Smart without rain and in front of a big crowd stopped the rot of three consecutive losses and showed plenty of determination from the side.
LATEST HEADLINES:
After being down 4-10 at the break they kept their opponents scoreless and had Adam Pompey cross for two second half tries for a 14-10 win.
The visitors had Mathew Feagai score in the 10th and 20th minutes and it wasn't looking pretty for the Warriors.
However the home side got on the board after plenty of replays from officials as Chanel Harris-Tavita scored in the 32nd minute.
Into the second spell and the Warriors again had to wait on the Bunker who take an age to decide that Pompey's try had no obstruction.
The second and match winner had Taine Tuaupiki set it up with a subtle dummy at the line that caught out the defenders, before flicking the ball to Pompey to dot down.
