    2025 Draw

    You're right, this is hilarious each year. I saw a clip on the ACC insta page, of Manaia Stewart (who is a dud) saying the NRL f**k the Warriors each year, because we're the home team again in Magic Round. But we play two top 8 teams twice from 2024, and they're the 7th and 8th ranked sides...

    Welcome to 2024, when hype trumps substance

    Off Season 2024/25

    Cronulla should be a top 4 side, although the finals showed up the fact their spine isn't creative enough to challenge the big dogs. They definitely have the starch up front and AFB is a massive in. Really feels like they need to bite the bullet and move Hynes, and find a spot for Atkinson. Do...

    Off Season 2024/25

    I don't think it's a top 8 team. It might not be a spoon side but given the awful culture at that club, Benji is a rookie coach, the spine is good but the pack is nothing to write home about.

    Why is there little interest in the Kiwis in this forum?

    You don't think 'putting the Ki in the Wi' counts?!?!?! :D 2017 definitely stands as a turning point. I mean, I'm a couple of years older than you, and definitely life circumstance comes into it in the fact I just don't watch as much sport as I used to. But yeah, I remember being invested in...

    Rumoured Signings

    This is 100% what they should do. I think the issue with this is the Sharks (potentially fairly) see that this combination needs time and isn't going to deliver a premiership in 2025, it might even go backwards to come forwards from where it was in 2024. But surely it's the best move for the...

    Why is there little interest in the Kiwis in this forum?

    I say this every year. I think it's a range of things - the time of year is certainly something. In November, I'm in cricket mode. I'm league'd out. The amount of players that withdraw for inane reasons, and otherwise, doesn't help. The Warriors feels more tribal to me, because I guess it's...

    Proposed rule change for kick-offs.

    The Lindsay Collins KO by NAS occured on the 15m line: If you kick it short of the 20m line, let's say 25-30m, there's no advantage to that. You're kicking long all day and chasing. Obviously the NRL hopes people will kick short to a contest because of that. You must protect the head but you...

    Rule tweaks incoming?

    The Collins KO happened on the 15m line. Under that premise, the Chooks had a seven tackle set from there, but if you kicked short of the 20 - let's say 25 - the defense meets you at the 30 and you get six tackles. First scenario is a no brainier, unless teams decide to go shorter and compete...

    OT: US Election

    I've always wondered how much of this 'oh no Trump is in' is actually based on rationality about what impact he will have on the free world, or whether it's just regarding what a deplorable person he is, and the sickness associated with someone like that being voted in. Because from his time in...

    Mark Graham Doco

    I don't think I've ever met a league player of Mark Graham's physical presence. And I met him as a Warriors coach, not a player. The guy was a f*cking colossus. The width from shoulder to shoulder, honestly I couldn't even conceive of it. He obviously used that size, too. I was too young to see...

    JFH

    I just can't quite get my head around that JFH won't be much help on the field and he's peaked. He's 28, one year off a Golden Boot, he chose to come home to NZ, he'll be motivated, this is not (to me) a retirement cheque. He's still top 5 props in the game (and arguably we have one of the...

    JFH

    Yeah but you can't pretend 2023 didn't happen, either. You could say 2024 was an anomaly. We beat the 4-time premiers. We should have beaten the other GF team. We beat the team that came 3rd. We beat the team that came 6th. Yes, we lost a lot of awful ones, too. Andrew Webster might be a...

    JFH

    You can definitely bill this one as a 'controversial opinion'. Tanah Boyd will give us more to be happy about than JFH - a Golden Boot winner 12 months ago and four-time premiership winner? I completely disagree. He may not play his best footy in a pure footy sense, but this is a guy who...

    Ivans' new book

    Yeah no doubt we had workers around them, otherwise it would never have worked. Who are Penrith's Warriorball style players?

    Pacific Cup 2024

    He's frustrating as f**k. Should be a beast, isn't.

    Pacific Cup 2024

    And to think we could have had Wayne Bennett...but we have Stacey Jones, who can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

    2024-25 Off Season Incidents

    Yeah, this is ridiculous. 8 weeks for Spencer, should equal 24 for Mam. Also agree with this. The Dogs just marched JAC for less, because it suited them to. But it doesn't suit the NRL or the Broncos to give Mam a bigger skate. Woeful, really.

    Off Season 2024/25

    Yep, no big loss. Seems like a nice bloke but feel like he got a reputation as 'off the back fence Bunty' purely on his haircut. Good defensive prop, never bent the line.

    Off Season 2024/25

    We've signed Tanah Boyd. Thoughts?
