Live updates: NZ Warriors v North Queensland Cowboys in Auckland
Skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck scores a sensational solo try to put the Warriors ahead 10-8 early in the second half, but the home side concede nine straight points to let victory slip through their fingers.
A converted try to Justin O'Neill, a penalty by Jordan Kahu and Michael Morgan's late field goal seal the Cowboys win.
The 17-10 result marked the Warriors' fourth loss in five games and they would lose two more before breaking that slump, which put them well out of playoff contention at 2-6 for the season.
