Alofiana Khan-Pereira’s remarkable form continues as he scores a try double for the third consecutive match during the Warriors’ latest game against the Eels on May 2, 2026, in Sydney.

The Warriors secured a convincing victory with a final score of 36-14. They demonstrated their dominance early, leading 16-6 at halftime. Despite a brief challenge from the Eels, who narrowed the margin to 18-14 midway through the second half, the Warriors pulled away late in the game.

As noted by analysts, “The Warriors finished strongly, running in three unanswered converted tries to close out the match in emphatic fashion.” This performance highlights his growing impact within the NRL.
