A response from South Sydney cut the lead to eight points but the Warriors restored their 12-point advantage three minutes short of halftime when Ieremia had a second try.
In the opening minutes of the second half the Rabbitohs were back within six points at 10-16 after an Izaac Thompson try but the Warriors then regrouped to see off their opponents.
A try to fullback Ben Farr in the 55th minute – converted by Metcalf – extended the advantage to 22-10 and another to prop Zyon Maiu’u plus the extras from Metcalf made it 28-10 with 13 minutes to play.
The Warriors efficiently closed out the match over the final stages to surge to 31 points on the ladder.
They’re fourth on a condensed table with the North Sydney Bears leading on 33, Canberra second on 32 and Newtown also on 31 but third on points for and against after beating the Bears today.
