The familiar `Warriors, Warriors' chant wasn't heard until after the half hour mark, as the crowd had little to cheer about. Warriors 27 Titans 18Simon Mannering got the win he deserved - and the Warriors put their season back on track - with a 27-18 over the Titans on Saturday night. Aside from the feel good milestone for Mannering, at this time of year you can't afford to slip up at home. Some individual magic from Shaun Johnson broke the game open in the 66th minute, before a Bodene Thompson try from a scrum move five minutes later sealed the two points. In his 250th game Mannering gave a typical wholehearted effort, highlighted by a couple of plays that swung the momentum at crucial times.
