Shaun Johnson scored two tries in a classy performance as the Warriors came from behind to down Wests Tigers 24-14 at Leichardt Oval on Friday night.

3 Tries 4
David Nofoaluma 6'	Shaun Johnson 32'
Chris Lawrence 13'	Konrad Hurrell 42'
Tim Simona 40'	Shaun Johnson 55'
	Simon Mannering 67'
1 Conversions 4
Benji Marshall 40'	Shaun Johnson 33'
	Shaun Johnson 42'
	Shaun Johnson 57'
	Shaun Johnson 69'

The Tigers opened up an early 8-0 lead through David Nofoaluma and Chris Lawrence who scored in the fourth and 13th minutes, respectively.

Benji Marshall, playing what was his final game at the Tigers' spiritual home, was unable to convert either try and the Tigers were left to rue those four points when Johnson scored the first of his two tries in the 32nd minute.

The Tigers extended their lead just before the break with a four-pointer  to Tim Simona in the shadows of half-time, allowing the hosts to go in 14-6 up.

The visitors wasted little time closing the deficit upon the resumption with Konrad Hurrell finishing off some classic Warriors football two minutes into the second stanza.

Johnson then pounced on a loose ball following a Tigers cross-kick and sprinted 95 metres to put the visitors in front for the first time.

The classy halfback wasn't done there either and rounded out a brilliant showing by laying on a deft kick for Simon Mannering to grab the game's final four-pointer in the 67th minute.
