The home side managed to peg one back with rookie wing Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad getting the first of two tries, but they went to the sheds trailing 18-10. "If you're getting beaten physically, one, when you're defending, that's what's going to happen. "And then when you're trying to carry the footy and they're physically getting the better of you, it takes energy out of you." The result was also the Warriors fourth defeat in as many visits to Hamilton.
