The Canberra Raiders were so close to pulling it off, and they just might have if not for in-form Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson and one too many errors in a heartbreaking 21-20 loss.
The New Zealand star broke the hearts of Raiders fans for the second time in as many years on Friday night in Auckland.
Just last season Johnson similarly led the Warriors to a 21-20 win with a field goal in golden point, and it was a case of history repeating itself in round 21 in 2023.
