New Zealand Warriors fans and friends of Issac Luke were on hand to honour the hooker in his 250th game with an emotional haka.

Following the haka, appearing teary-eyed, Luke was congratulated by teammates in what was a memorable game.
"It was definitely a big occasion for him," fellow Warrior star David Fusitu'a said post-game.
"We can only dream that one day we will play 250 games.
"I'm really happy that the boys turned up and got the win for him."
