Up the Wahs!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Full-time:<\/strong> Warriors advance to the preliminary final against the Broncos in Brisbane next Saturday with a 40-10 thrashing of the Knights.

It was an unfortunate way to bow out for the Knights, but they can hold their heads high after a 10-match winning streak.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.271%2C$multiply_0.7725%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_52\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/c299d4c7c934e0490ada68400ccc9e96f297cbd7\" height=\"390\" width=\"584\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Dylan Walker celebrates his second-half try.<\/span><cite class=\"ojLwA\"><span>Credit: <\/span>NRL Photos<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Sirro the hero<\/h2>\n<p><strong>76 min:<\/strong> Replacement forward Bayley Sironen crashes over from dummy-half to put the icing on the cake for the jubilant hosts.
