Field goal seals Dogs upset
CANTERBURY young gun Lachlan Lewis has slotted a clutch field goal to jag a 27-26 NRL win over New Zealand and throw a speed bump in front of the Warriors’ NRL finals ambitions.
The Bulldogs upset the Warriors after their five-eighth booted a 30m one-pointer in the 79th minute to quell a Warriors fightback.
The visitors rallied from 20-12 down at halftime to lock up the scores with three min- utes remaining. However Lewis, 22 yesterday, showed nerves of steel to slot the winner for his side’s seventh victory of the year.
The result leaves the Warriors two wins ahead of the ninth-placed Wests Tigers with two games remaining.
The Warriors must win against Penrith and Canberra to assure a first final since 2011.
