Why it matters
Reflects the shifting standings in the NRL and the impact of key player returns on team performance.
Wing Alofiana Khan-Pereira has scored a try double to propel NZ Warriors to a 32-6 win over Wests Tigers at Sydney's Campbelltown Stadium.
Returning from a quad injury that had kept him sidelined for two games, the speedster had the visitors out to an early double-figure lead, as they took toll of a man advantage, when former Warriors fan favourite Bunty Afoa - now with the Tigers - was sin-binned for a late tackle on Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.
Soon after Khan-Pereira's first try, centre Ali Leiataua also crossed and the Warriors led 14-6 at halftime.
