    Warriors reach agreement with Redcliffe Dolphins.

    I'm not sure about this. We've done the 'feeder club' thing before both with NSW and QLD based teams - why didn't it work then, and why will it work now? I just hope it's a genuine attempt at stronger development and not just a cost-cutting exercise to get rid of our NSW Cup team. (Gee I'm...

    Why sacking the coach isn't always the solution

    An interesting read and plenty of relevant questions for our club. If the coach is not contributing to the desired culture, results and success of the club, or you feel the coach is bluffing his way through proceedings and delivering a list of excuses that just don’t ring true, and you believe...

    Why sacking the coach isn't always the solution

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/121751457/why-sacking-the-coach-isnt-always-the-solution (By Phil Gould) OPINION: The head coach of any NRL team has a big influence on the attitude, personality, character, development, professionalism and resilience of the team. Ultimately, these factors...

    (I hate seeing stuff like this because it sticks in my brain and won't go away until I've worked it out!) Simon made his debut in Round 16 2005 and played his last match in the 2018 finals. He played 301 matches out of a possible 333. We won 141 of the 301 matches Simon played, so a win rate...

    Just out of curiosity I looked at the stats on his captaincy. Stats can be misleading, the game has changed over the years and captains have had to work with various teammates & coaches but I didn't realise how different his numbers are. Our 4 most capped captains are Mannering (137 games)...

    Who would you replace him with though? We've hardly got anyone knocking down the door to take over. Tohu too quiet, Blair too Blair. Maybe Jazz ...?

    NRL Rd 3 2020 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    Huge effort by Newcastle, some real good signs for them in the months ahead. Penrith not so much... looks like the Warriors are coming up against them at a good time.

    Is it considered "plastic"...

    Don't think of it as betting against your team, think of it as "how much am I prepared to pay to guarantee my team wins?" Then if they win you've got your moneys worth, and if they lose you get your money back + a bit extra.

    Vs Dragons rd 3 2020

    Absolutely stoked. Such a calm, disciplined and sensible performance. Even overcoming things like Hiku's injury were seamless. I had my doubts (like many others!) but extremely happy to be proven wrong. The Dragons might not be the best barometer at the moment but even so the confidence boost...

    The Game 2020 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    A bit of Warriors training was shown on the news last night. Looks like they've got a red & black version of the 2020 bush shirt? Maybe keeping it in the back pocket for our next home game in Christchurch.

    Season restart 2020.

    I don't know how to feel about this. Will these loan players really be giving 100% for the Warriors or just trying to make themselves look good for their "real" club? It throws up all sorts of interesting dynamics. I'm already suspicious of clubs who are happy to let their players go - if they...

    They're playing a lot of "classic matches" on Sky at the moment and the 2003 end of season Kiwis / Kangaroos test has been getting some air time. Sione played a lot of that game in the halves and had an absolute stinker IMO - almost every time he got the ball he'd just chuck it away trying for a...

    That reminds me of the bungled interchange in 1995. From what I remember the club 100% blamed the media for bringing that bungle to everyone's attention, so the subsequent loss of competition points was also 100% the medias fault. From what you're saying, that initial reaction has stuck as the...

    Unpopular Opinion

    I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion as such, but I don't think the club - right from the top down - are anywhere close to being focused enough on the ultimate goal of winning a premiership. There was stuff being published earlier in the year about how valuable the Warriors are to the...

    Warriors given the green light.

    I think I've said it before on here but I'm going to say it again. I don't see us doing very well at all when things kick off again. We're renowned as a mentally weak squad and we just won't have the mental strength to get past all the barriers we're facing as a team. Sure we might get some warm...
