However, West Belconnen utility entered the fray before the break and swung the momentum in the Warrior's direction with a try from dummy half before the break.
The Warriors took the lead after the break thanks to tries from Tevita Aroha-Tuinauvai and Bailey Litster.
However that lead last for only two minutes as Noa Vanisi burst through the line the score for Tuggeranong.
The Bushrangers continued to pepper West Belconnen's defence but the Warriors turned defence into attack when Aroha-Tuinauvai intercepted the ball before passing to Matt Campbell who sprinted down the touchline to score.
The West Belconnen Warriors sealed the win with four minutes to go when Ricky Fulivai scored in the corner after a Jackson Duffey basketball pass.
