The Warriors have notched their third consecutive victory to bolster their finals hopes, with a 24-10 victory over the Bulldogs. <\/p>\n
The Kiwis got out of the blocks early in Redcliffe and never looked back, scoring within three minutes thanks to some hard-running from Josh Curran who started and finished off the sequence that led to his four-pointer. <\/p>\n
Curran had a stellar outing on Sunday afternoon but top honours were saved for Warriors youngsters Reece Walsh and Chanel Harris-Tavita. <\/p>\n
The pair's blossoming partnership was in full-flight, signalling a bright future for the New Zealand club, as the duo combined for a stellar try early in the second half. <\/p>\n

Harris-Tavita opted to kick early on a third tackle set as Walsh came blaring down the left flank to outsprint Bulldogs fullback Nick Meaney and dot down inches from the dead-ball line.<\/p>\n
Harris-Tavita finished with 70 run metres, two tackle busts, two offloads and a try assist, while Walsh had 63 run metres, a linebreak assist, a try assist, a try and eight points off the boot.<\/p>\n
"We're all just turning up for each other, they haven't been pretty wins or anything," Walsh told the ABC at full-time. <\/p>\n
"Everyone's writing us off, saying we've put the hat on the rack… we need to keep taking it step by step." <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The win sees the Warriors lock up 12th on the NRL ladder, tied on 18-points with the likes of the Tigers, Dragons and Sharks.<\/p>\n
They next face the Broncos in round 23. <\/p>\n
