Heremaia celebrates 50th match in style.

Warriors hooker Aaron Heremaia celebrated his 50th match for the club in style last night, picking up a brace of tries in their runaway win over the Bulldogs in Auckland last night.
The 28-year-old, who will leave the club at the end of the season to take up a two year contract with english Super League club Hull, scored two long range tries in the 36-12 win as the Warriors came back after a shocking start to stun the hapless Bulldogs.
Trailing 12-0 in terrible conditions at Mount Smart Stadium, the Warriors looked in all sorts of trouble against a Bulldogs side whose coach walked out on the team on Thursday.
However they turned the game around taking over possession and applying relentless pressure to the Bulldogs defence to draw level with the match in the balance at halftime.
The match was sealed however iin the second half when an outstanding solo effort from the Warriors rake put them 12 points clear heading into the final 20 minutes of the match.
Heremaia sold a massive dummy from 50-metres out to create a gaping hole in the Canterbury-Bankstown defence, before running straight through fullback Ben Barba to score.
However the hooker was modest about his efforts, instead praising the performance of their dominant forwards.

"I was just pushing up through the middle, when the boys were laying such a good platform there's going to be some tired defenders in the middle so I just tried to take advantage of that," Heremaia said after the match.
He doubled his tally in the final play of the match to put the icing on the cake when a loose ball fell fortuitously for Joel Moon whose speculator pass found the hooker and he ran untouched to the line.
"I'm happy with the way I'm going, I've just got to continue now."
Heremaia said the side was pleased with the way they played after struggling in the opening stages.
"We just wanted to get into our rhythm, it took us 20 minutes to get into it, (to get) back to back sets and it worked in the second half and we played well."
"It's always tough for teams coming over here so if you can get in front and put a bit of pressure on it's always going to help, but they just dropped their heads."
The win ensures the Warriors stay in the top eight in sixth place heading into the business end of the regular season and Heremaia said the mood was positive in the club after putting together back-to-back wins following four straight losses.
"It's feeling good, even after the loss against Melbourne, we were very positive and we're coming right in the important part of the season, we're getting people back from injury so things are looking up for us."
The Warriors now have nine days to prepare for their next match, against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Sydney next Sunday.
