Star five-eighth Kieran Foran's influence was again to the fore as the Warriors made it two NRL wins in a row by holding out Parramatta 22-10 in Auckland.

Facing the club he left prematurely in the middle of last season to deal with personal issues, Foran set up two of the Warriors' four tries. It was his big break and pass in the 62nd minute that sent winger Ken Maumalo over for the score that pushed the home side out to a 20-10 lead after the Eels had dominated after halftime.
