The NZ Warriors Women have put on a quick turnaround to hold off the Parramatta Eels 14-0 at Auckland's Go Media Stadium for their first win in their return to the NRLW.
In their first home game since 2019, the Warriors bounced back from last week's season-opening loss to the champion Sydney Roosters in Sydney.

The Warriors scored inside the first minute through Sevens star Michaela Brake who had to fend off a couple of tacklers to score in the corner.
Payton Takimoana then crossed on the other wing just four minutes later as the Warriors enthusiastic start continued.
The scored remained 8-0 until the 56th minute as Tysha Ekenasio scored with a Patricia Maliepo conversion.
Overall Brake had more than 200 running metres and a couple of line breaks as well as her try , however the Warriors did have a penalty count of 4-0 in the first half against them which coach Ronnie Griffiths will want to sort.
The Warriors are away to the Knights next Sunday night.
