Warriors brave in loss

-

League: So near — yet still so far — for the Warriors. They were close to one of the great NRL comebacks on Saturday, scoring four tries in the last 17 minutes to almost reel in the Rabbitohs, with the Sydney side hanging on to prevail 32-30. The final quarter was stirring stuff, but time always looked against the Warriors, who had left their run far too late, after they trailed 26-6 at halftime. And the frenetic finale shouldn’t mask another worrying performanc­e, as the Warriors were completely blown away early.
