Sea Eagles 26 Warriors 22NRL seasons are built on small margins, and there was another reminder in the Warriors' narrow loss to the Sea Eagles tonight. The Auckland club came close to a historic win in Perth, but ultimately went down 26-22 to the Sydney team. They will rue an awful period either side of halftime, when the Sea Eagles scored 26 unanswered points, after the Warriors had held a 16-0 lead. They were overhauled early in the second half but still went toe to toe with the Sea Eagles, despite the loss of Albert Vete (broken arm) and Nathaniel Roache (hamstring strain). The Warriors are a significantly better team since then, but Manly have improved exponentially also and that was the difference.
