    Kiwis vs Tonga Nov 2nd 2025

    Hopefully Katoa gets through the next phase of his recovery well. He won't be out of the woods yet, there are risk factors post cranial surgery like any surgery - infection being chief among them....further bleeds are an issue.... And there are other complications which I won't go into, but so...

    NSW Cup

    At first I thought the same thing. We were being treated like the nest of the bird that raises the Cuckoo chick. Then I came to an idea. What if the reason he left home is because he wanted to. What if he doesn't get along with his Brother or one of his parents. A very common thing in...

    NSW Cup

    Seems like it was a false flag. The Warriors released a brief thank you to departing player statement for the likes of Bunty, Ale, etc, Crosby was not on the list.

    Come on Penrith fans, where is the who let the Dogs out chant? Rub it in, Viking clap style.

    Team v Tigers

    People don't understand Andrew McFaddens how to fix the Warriors plan. The core issue for this club has always been, and always will be, that the local talent are behind their Australian counterparts when it comes to the technical side of the game. Ergo by the time they reach the NRL they have...

    Team v Broncos

    Yeah Ed is on fire. Add to that the offloads he has added to his game with that massive frame of his, too hard to put down, and he is turning into a legitimate weapon. Fingers crossed for him, if he can bring that new confidence and new offensive game to the NRL he will be away for the rest of...

    Rumor Mill

    Yeah that could work. McFadden said something along the lines that eventually Gannon will play in the middle. which tends to hint at starting as a secondrower then one day being Clarks bench sub. The other thing of course is that it is rare that we have the entire pack fit. If all are fit...

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    Hopefully we all see it. Before I actually saw him play, I went with the narrative that we knew which went along the lines of: Tohu retired, Dylan shock departure, Warriors suddenly in dire need of a ball playing middle forward. Up pops Gannons name out of nowhere, ball playing English Junior...

    Rumor Mill

    I caught my first full Gannon experience at the weekend, Rhinos Vs Wire (I'm a Kiwi, trying to use the hip kids talk with Englishmen). Jokes aside, I used to follow the ESL with a bias towards Kiwi involvement, which saw me follow Graham West, Lowe, and that Wigan side in the eighties. Since...

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    He is still a bit too lanky imo but not for his age and not to stop him playing NRL. Simon Mannering was similar at that age, he went alright. I think the Warriors will be very good for his physical development. They seem to have worked out how to make Jackson Ford more muscled for the middle...

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    On it. As for your comment about forwards being on the block, I agree with what you said about Bunty and Ale being expendable (especially with the Kalis Fatialofa negotiations going on right now and interest from other NRL clubs in his signature). We have that problem of too many tomorrow...

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    Yes and yes, He is different. And he can do things our young forwards cannot (not saying he is better at all, just different).

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    Part of why I am going on about Gannon this week is that it is very hard to get intel on him. Since ESL coverage stopped being readily accessible in New Zealand there are only old highlights of games on youtube etc, and with a player who has missed almost two years of football it is nigh on...

    Warriors table english forward Morgan Gannon a 3 year deal

    Andrew Webster is friends with Morgans father (former Balmain Tiger Jim Gannon). Websters brother has been watching him in England also. Gannon was approached by Souths. I imagine from there he would have talked to his Dad, I can imagine his Dad ringing Andrew Webster for advice....I imagine...
