Overview

• Warriors halfback Luke Metcalf secured a dramatic golden-point victory with a 50m penalty goal in Auckland.
• Reece Walsh, battling a knee injury sustained early in the match, made a crucial mistake by kicking the golden-point restart out on the full.
• Broncos coach Michael Maguire defended Walsh's effort, praising his determination to play through the injury despite limited impact on the game.
• Maguire reshuffled the Broncos' spine mid-match, moving Ben Hunt to hooker and Billy Walters to five-eighth, which sparked a late comeback effort.
• The Broncos, now on a two-game losing streak, risk falling out of the top four as they await scan results on Walsh's knee ahead of their next match against the unbeaten Bulldogs.
