The Warriors have continued their audacious quest for an NRL top-four finals berth with a surprisingly hard-earned 30-22 win over Wests Tigers in New Zealand.
The Warriors resisted two Tigers fightbacks to hang on for a vital victory at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton on Saturday night.
Despite looking likely winners all night, the Warriors only sealed the win with their fifth try through prop Addin Fonua-Blake four minutes from fulltime.
The five-tries-to-four win consolidated the Warriors' position in third place with three games remaining.
The Auckland-based outfit will need some slip-ups from Penrith or Brisbane to snatch a top-two berth.
But with remaining games against bottom-eight sides Manly, St George Illawarra and the Dolphins, anything is possible.
Wests Tigers' 18th loss of from 21 matches this year almost certainly consigned the joint venture to a second straight wooden spoon.
Languishing four competition points adrift of second-last St George Illawarra on the ladder, the Tigers will need to win their remaining three games to avoid the spoon.
That looks a tall order.
The Tigers host the Dolphins next Saturday before finishing with tough away games against the Sydney Roosters and Manly.
