    Sky sport now

    Does anyone in NZ know why Sky Sport Now isn’t showing any of the finals games highlights or replays? It appears to be watch live or nothing, which isn’t usual.

    All-time low. Club dead soon.

    Someone talk me off the ledge here. If the Warriors don’t learn how to win in the next few weeks, and if they lose that homecoming game against the Tigers at Mt Smart, there may not be a Warriors club in 2023. There certainly wont be any fans left. And there’s no way a guy like Walsh re-signs...

    Oh crap, I'm starting to get excited about Warriors 2021

    Best roster we've had in years. 6, 7, 9 will be the weak spots, which aren't good positions to be weak in! But, if we can skate through the season with limited injuries in those positions we may be OK. I think we've got a squad well suited to the faster, looser style of play the new rule...

    Roger gone next year?

    Incoming coach brown: “Where it’s all at at the moment I don’t 100 per cent know but there is a possibility Roger could be playing rugby league next year which would obviously be a bonus for the club. “But I also know Roger does have a desire to represent the All Blacks like many, many young...

    We're winning because we're travelling less

    Something we've always known, but I found it interesting to hear this from Payten... "He said the squad had bonded through adversity, and the reduced travel schedule had help them prepare better for games." How much of our recent form is due to travelling much less? Now we know what it feels...

    Where will we finish?

    The season hasn't even started and I already have that mid-season sense of dread. Our competition-worst forward pack has only gotten weaker with injuries. Neither Green nor Nikorima are looking great - still too much uncertainty and mediocrity in the halves. Apart from the return of Tohu, we...

    Is this the beginning of the end?

    Being called Powder Puffs by the media will either inspire the boys to bounce back, or cement us into our usual late season capitulation. Before this game I would have thought we won't follow the same trend and give up at year's end. But after last night, I have serious doubts. What do you think?

    Where's a good place to watch games in Sydney CBD / Darlinghurst?

    Hey guys. I have a business trip to Sydney over round 15. Any recommendations for a pub or other place to watch the Warriors vs. Cowboys game in Sydney central or Darlinghurst area? Or is NRL popular enough in Sydney that footy will be on almost anywhere?

    Double header tickets?

    I've read that the April 7th doubleheader at Mt Smart is not included for season ticket holders (not even the Warriors game). I've also seen them advertising $25 tickets for both games. How would a member go about getting a ticket so they can sit in their regular seat?

    Tui being lured away?

    How to watch NRL replays from the USA?

    I'm in the states for 10 weeks and missing my NRL. NRL Digital pass is only available from Australian Apple store and isn't supposed to work overseas. Certainly not going to pay for that only to find out all videos ore blocked in my location. The other recommended approach (officially by the...

Best design in years. But not sold on the grey travel jersey. Would have looked better with bottom half in...

    Vs Dragons

    So the gameplan so far seems to be kick weak uncontested bombs to Morris, and then fail to tackle him while he makes an easy 15 metres counter attack. Way to build pressure Warriors. This is working out so well. Manu, stay put on your wing FFS.

    Sam Tomkins: We've stumbled but have potential

    From: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11221390 Star recruit Sam Tomkins has joined the Herald. The England fullback will write a fortnightly column, starting today. There's no doubt my introduction to the NRL has been tough. I knew it was going to be like that...

    Are the refs worse this year or is everyone just being more ciritical?

    Elliott is crying conspiracy over repeated bad calls against the Warriors at key momentum changing points in our close loses. Cartwright is going crazy over bad calls in the Titans most recent game. Every game there is at least one terrible ref's decision, which is usually a video ref call which...

    Stats Insider: NRL's dodgiest defenders revealed

    Ouch! Statistically Warriors win the honor of worst team, and worst individual players in missed tackles. We need to toughen up this defense pronto! ----- AVERAGE MISSED TACKLES – TEAM 1. Broncos: 24.4; 2. Storm: 25.2; 3. Sharks: 25.3; 4. Dragons: 25.8; 5. Bulldogs: 26.6; 6. Rabbitohs: 26.6...

    Are video refs making more mistakes?

    Is it just me, or are the video refs worse than usual this year? Every single week there are one or two potentially game changing calls that they admit to getting wrong. Maybe it's just that they are more transparent now, and admitting fault brings more attention to it. I don't know. I can...
