    Warriors co-captain Mitch Barnett has praised forward Leka Halasima's 70-metre try during the 26-24 NRL league win over the Tigers in Sydney

    He beat three defenders on the right flank with Luke Metcalf converting to tie the game at 24-all - Metcalf would go on to kick the deciding penalty in the 74th minute.

    Barnett has lauded the 19-year-old.



    Coach Andrew Webster agrees but with one condition as Halasima raised his finger to his lips 15 metres from the line.
