8 PENNELL – Enjoying a rich vein of form and was strong with ball in hand. My Warriors' man of the match.

7 Heem – Often breaks the first tackle. Mike Williams suffered a suspected fractured arm trying to stop him.

7 Olivier – Scored his first Premiership try and has formed a sound centre partnership with Ryan Mills.

7 Mills – Wore heavy strapping on his leg but remains dynamic in possession and works hard in defence.

8 Vuna – Great to see the wing run at Tigers’ midfield. Back to his best in the first half in his most impressive display of the season.

7 Heathcote – A solid kicking display in the first half but, like most of his team-mates, found life hard playing into a strong wind after the interval.

7 Arr – A mixed bag for the scrum-half with his box kicking but competent with his passing and made important tackles.

7 Leleimalefaga – Lively in the first half when Warriors were on the front foot and saw plenty of the ball. Solid at the scrum.

8 Annett – Cementing his spot in the side. Made a high number of tackles and threw well into the line-out.

6 Rees – Got an opportunity to start and held his own in the scrum for the first half-an-hour. Taken off with an injury.

5 O'Callaghan – Lasted 42 minutes before he was sent off by referee Wayne Barnes. Can count himself unlucky with his first yellow card.

8 Barry – Pinched several line-outs and is enhancing his reputation with each game.

7 Cox - Scored a try and was sin-binned in the closing minutes. Worked hard and justified his selection.

6 Betty – High work-rate in the first half but was replaced after the dismissal of O’Callaghan.

7 Dowson – Stood tall and fronted up as Warriors came under intense pressure in the second half.
