Newcastle result the 'wake-up call' Warriors needed, says Ryan HoffmanANTHONY AU-YEUNG/GETTY IMAGES Ryan Hoffman led from the front in a match-winning display for the Warriors against the Knights. It's early in the season to be talking about wake-up calls but Warriors match-winner Ryan Hoffman says that is exactly what they got in the close call over Newcastle. It was a good wake-up call for us and a chance for us to realise that we've got to be an 80 minute team. Hoffman also had special praise for rookie five-eighth Ata Hingano, who set up his try that handed Newcastle their 19 consecutive defeat. Everyone's going to talk about the good things he did on attack but I was really impressed with his defence today," Hoffman said.
