    Very nice

    Season 2024 in Review

    Old is bad enough, slow is criminal. We've been a slow ass team for ages.

    2024 R25 Sat - Canberra 22-18 Penrith @ GIO

    Penrith are done. There won't be a fourth premiership.

    2024 R25 Sat - Canberra 22-18 Penrith @ GIO

    They should erase all the Immortals and replace them with Rapana

    I would just like to commend you for writing the longest forum post I have ever seen.

    Have a good one Shaun vs Bulldogs Round 25 Game Day Thread.

    Just never really got into a good rhythm, in games or across the season as a whole. Not a complete disaster (apart from the Titans game) but still a pretty bloody poor way to back up what was a solid 2023. Next year will surely be better. Surely.

    NRL Rd 22 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    The Titans have so much speed in their backline. So good to watch.

    I know nothing about the high school league competition but it stands to reason it should be resourced appropriately. Obviously the Warriors and NZRL have a vested interest and I’m sure they’d love the high school game to flourish. As ever, where the money comes from is the question. I can’t...

    Brisbane not making the 8 is hilarious.

    I guess what I'm getting at is I don't know if 30 years of underachievement can be waved away as poor coaching and boardroom incompetence. I think it's worth contemplating if there's a bigger picture.

    Would you say that the culture from which the Warriors come is more or less the same as that of the average Australian NRL team, or are there significant differences?

    I understand these are contentious views. Setting aside further extrapolations of my culture argument, the upshot of my thesis is that key to the Warriors success is a more productive economy.

    I don’t think you can discount socio-economics that flippantly. It’s the most significant determiner of future success.

    The player demographics in rugby and league are similar-ish but the sports have markedly different cultural/class backgrounds. Look at the first 15 competition for example.

    I think the fundamental problem the Warriors have is cultural. Not the team culture, but the wider culture the club exists within. I’m talking about the differences in the respective cultures of the rugby league heartlands in Australia and New Zealand. More specifically, the differences that...

    Ah, i haven’t run the numbers myself. Just going off what others were saying in here. Mad if we still have a mathematical chance.

    OT: US Election

    Maybe I’m overestimating the importance of debates, but if he doesn’t agree to a debate that must severely harm his chances. I’d go further and say surely it is electoral suicide. In the NZ context would you vote for a candidate who refused to debate? I don’t think I could. Televised debates are...

    So the sun sets on the warriors 2024 campaign. Better luck next year. Up the wahs.

    Wow. At the start of the season I had Brisbane down for another trip to the grand final.

    Sounds like the Brisbane-Bulldogs game is amazing but my usually trusty stream has chosen this game to shit itself.
