Ben Matulino of the Warriors gets tackled by Dylan Walker of the Sea Eagles. Photo: GettyThe Warriors' narrow loss to the Sea Eagles was a clear reminder that NRL seasons are built on small margins. 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. Tom Trbojevic of the Sea Eagles looks to break from a tackle by Shaun Johnson of the Warriors.
