Roger Tuivasa-Sheck<\/a> has scored a crucial match-winner as the Warriors<\/a> held their nerve to clinch their first win of the season over the Raiders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tuivasa-Sheck finished with 188 run metres and four tackle breaks but was forced to move from centre to fullback after Taine Tuaupiki failed a HIA in the second half.<\/p>\n
