Brisbane has sent a powerful message to the rest of the premiership with a 36-20 victory over South Sydney.

Earlier, Shaun Johnson's golden-point field goal earned the Warriors a 21-20 win over the fast-finishing Raiders.

Brilliant Brisbane fullback Reece Walsh returned from suspension to inspire his side to a win and put a dagger in the heart of bumbling South Sydney's top-four hopes.

Walsh set up two tries in the first half at Sunshine Coast Stadium with passing wizardry and then put his foot down after half-time to leave Rabbitohs defenders clutching at thin air in a scintillating 40-metre sprint to the tryline.

The Raiders have fallen short in their first ever NRLW match, losing to an impressive Cronulla side 28-14 in Sydney.

Five years after being controversially denied entry to the competition, Cronulla piled on six tries to three at PointsBet Stadium with NSW State of Origin stars Emma Tonegato and hooker Quincy Dodd, and exciting teenage fullback Jada Taylor the stand-outs.

Trainer-driver Brad Hewitt expertly steered Majestic Trio to her first group 1 victory, settling midfield before finding clear air rounding the final turn. Once in the straight, the mare surged past her rivals to win by a length.

Croker has long supported Hewitt's stable and owns a number of trotters and thoroughbreds.
