Warriors star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck responded to Matt Dufty s ambitious target of being the best No.1 on Sunday by claiming the match-winning try, then declaring: You gotta leave your actions on the field. Dufty almost gave St George Illawarra their fifth straight win when he showed off his trademark speed to steal the lead midway through the second half in Kogarah. But Tuivasa-Sheck also proved why he was once crowned the Dally M medallist with a sensational solo try, beating three defenders to claim the game-deciding four-pointer.

Tuivasa-Sheck also had an eye on the head-to-head battle. Most weeks I go in with a personal challenge against the opposition and whoever s playing number one, said Tuivasa-Sheck, who racked up 265 metres in his 100th NRL match for the Warriors. Dufty s been on form, he s doing really well, so it was another personal challenge for me to go out there and try and beat my opposition. I think everyone across the board thinks the same way.
Tuivasa-Sheck lifts for his team
Dufty has been a standout in recent weeks but made a costly first-half error - failing to ground the ball and force a drop-out from a Nikorima kick - that led to a Warriors try and a 12-4 deficit.
