🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

Warriors fans expressed strong pre-game confidence against the Knights, anticipating a dominant win to boost ladder position #5 #6, though concerns lingered about potential complacency given Newcastle's health issues #11. The match unfolded chaotically, with sharp criticism directed at Dallin Watene-Zelezniak DWZ for repeated defensive errors and handling mistakes that conceded tries #181 #205. Controversial refereeing decisions, particularly the disallowed try for Wayde Egan deemed valid by analysts #300, shifted momentum. Despite extended periods in attack, the Warriors struggled in the red zone #345, trailing until Halasima's try secured a dramatic late win. Key tactical discussions centered around adapting to Knights' weaknesses #28, while pivotal moments included critical try-saving tackles by Tauapiki and Halasima during Newscastle surges #166.
