Warriors club pull off treble

12:05 pm on 26 September 2011

The Warriors have pulled off a remarkable trifecta with close to 50 of their players now set to be involved in all three National Rugby League grand finals at ANZ Stadium in Sydney next Sunday.

The Auckland Vulcans, second in the New South Wales Cup's minor premiership, completed the trifecta Sunday with a dramatic preliminary final win over third-placed Cronulla at Leichhardt Oval.

On Saturday the Junior Warriors ignited the charge to make every grand final by obliterating the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 64-0 in their under-20 preliminary final in Melbourne.

Later the Warriors stunned minor premiers the Melbourne Storm 20-12 to advance to the NRL decider, the first time the club has made the last day of the season since the debut appearance in 2002.
