No end of stats to feed on from the Vodafone Warriors’ historic 24-20 win in Wellington over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Shaun Johnson provided three try assists in a high-quality all-round performance, Tuimoala Lolohea 156 metres and seven tackle breaks and Jacob Lillyman 174 metres from 15 runs while there were big doubles from Simon Mannering (116 metres and 51 tackles without a miss) and Bodene Thompson (113 metres, 49 tackles).

No fewer than 11 players had 10 on more runs and eight made 100 metres plus with three others not far short.

The team stats were impressive, too – outstanding completion rate of 31 from 38 (82 per cent), the most metres gained in any game this so far this season (1657), a total of almost 2100 metres combined run and kick metres and single digit errors (8).
