The Roosters won a spirited encounter 16-14 in Round 2 when the game was taken to Eden Park and drew a crowd of 32,740.
The Roosters raced to a 16-0 after 46 minutes only for the Warriors to find their groove and hit back with three tries of their own.
It was a close contest at the end; had Shaun Johnson converted Bill Tupou’s four-pointer with four minutes remaining then the game would have gone into extra time.
