A superb solo effort started the show, with Lolohea and his new bleach-blonde hairstyle emerging from what seemed an impenetrable enclosure of Cowboys defenders with an array of steps and fends to score a remarkable opening try.
His partner in the halves - 21 year old debutant Mason Lino - also started strongly, with a deflected grubber leading to a try for Ken Maumalo, before Lolohea started a flowing move from halfway, placing a pinpoint grubber which sat up for Dominique Peyroux to give the hosts a 16-0 lead through 11 minutes of play.
That was where the pleasure turned to pain.
Despite losing key contributors James Tamou and Michael Morgan to a neck and ankle injuries respectively, the Cowboys flicked the switch, tearing up the Warriors' defensive edges time after time.
After Lolohea's opening salvo, Johnathan Thurston took back the halfback reigns, controlling the game with aplomb. He first set up winger Kyle Feldt to cross in the corner, before a draw and pass from hooker Jake Granville gave Thurston room to run through a gaping hole and dot down himself.
The Warriors never looked like finding a plug to stop the flow of points, with Feldt adding a second before Justin O'Neill profited from a Maumalo howler to make it 24-16 at the break.
Whatever was uttered in the sheds at halftime had no effect, with Ben Spina and Coen Hess continuing the rampage before Feldt brought up his hat-trick in the 65th minute.
Further tries to Kane Linnett and a second to O'Neill brought up the half-century, and sent the Warriors trudging back to the pavilion.
