The New Zealand Warriors showcased their grit and determination, extending their winning streak to five matches with a hard-fought 16-12 victory over the Dolphins. This Round 11 clash was a testament to the Warriors` improved defensive resilience, a quality that has become their hallmark this season. Co-captain Mitch Barnett lauded the team`s "unreal resilience," reflecting the spirit that has propelled them to the upper echelons of the NRL standings.

In a weekend filled with intense competition, the Warriors not only triumphed in the NRL but also demonstrated their dominance in the NSW Cup, where their affiliate team defeated the Sydney Roosters 24-14. The Roosters, despite a promising start, faltered defensively in the second half, allowing Dominic Young to score his third try of the season and Tom Rodwell to add his ninth.

As the NRL season progresses, Ryan Papenhuyzen leads the charge as the top point scorer with 120 points for the Melbourne Storm, followed closely by Reuben Garrick and Jamayne Isaako. The ongoing competition intensifies as the Queensland Origin squad has been announced, adding another layer of excitement to the league`s dynamic landscape.
