The Warriors have claimed their second straight NRL win with a stunning 24-20 victory over the Dophins in Auckland tonight in a game that went down to the wire.

The Dolphins led 16-12 at halftime before a second-half rally from the home side with tries to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Marata Niukore.

The Dophins scored their fourth try with five minutes on the clock, but the Warriors held on for the tense four-point win.
