What the score tells us
The 21-6 margin reflected a straightforward afternoon. The Buntars were the better side and made no mistake about it. by then you could see who wanted this more.
The Warriors never really got going, and gave up the ball and hit them on the break was not a strategy that paid off. A clean-sheet run came to an end here, though not in the way either side expected.
Where this leaves them

Nothing fancy about it — just two teams, one better than the other on the day. the away end never stopped even when the scoreline suggested otherwise. That's the sort of thing that matters in these games.
