KEY POINTS:
The Warriors juniors continue to impress, always in control of the curtainraiser at Mt Smart yesterday to grind down the Roosters under-20s by 40-10. They were inventive on attack, composed in defence.
Best of all, it is the organisational work of their playmakers that has them winning and that can only be good for the future supply of hookers, halves and fullbacks to the top side.
The Warriors dominated the first quarter, scoring two early tries from the boot of halfback Isaac John who increasingly looks an NRL prospect.
Fullback Kevin Locke out-jumped the cover for the first and the second came when powerful second rower Ben Matulino took the catch, rotated out of a tackle and off-loaded so the ball could be sent to wing Nafe Seluini for the try.
The Roosters took control of the second quarter, scoring through hooker Jake Friend out of dummy-half and then via a kick for Brad Murray and it was 10-all at the break.
Warriors' Captain and five-eighth Daniel O'Regan got a try at 50 minutes.
After a slow start in the competition, the Warriors have now earned four wins and two draws from 10 games, their points differential a creditable 230 for, 244 against.
