    The Warriors At The Historic SCG - 2019 (Part Five - final)

    Part Five (final): Just before I left, the hands-on-hips pretty much sums it up. We'd lost and we looked lost. I've never left a Warriors game early, until yesterday. I had one last look back at this great ground, a personal favourite of mine. This picture doesn't tell the full story...

    The Warriors At The Historic SCG - 2019 (Part Four)

    Part Four: Early in the second-half and our season is over. Here's the, now familiar, 'breathing-circle', which was performed too many times in our own in-goal! After another Roosters try and we break from the breathing-circle and rejoin the fray. Who knows what they're thinking here...

    The Warriors At The Historic SCG - 2019 (Part Three)

    Part Three: A bit of Blairy, in iconic Warriors mode. Giving away a penalty right on half-time. Which the Roosters duly obliged.

    The Warriors At The Historic SCG - 2019 (Part Two)

    Part Two: Bunty firing up in D. Hiku was much improved this year in defence. His attack was as dangerous as ever. Jazz, in iconic pose. Roger, our player of the year, by a country mile. He had the Chooks shook, every time he touched the ball. If only we had five or six of him out...

    The Warriors At The Historic SCG - 2019 (Part One)

    It was worth taking some pictures, despite our pathetic, season-ending, performance (losing 42-6) which didn't do the occasion justice. There's a 'five images only' limit on our forum posts, so I have to break this post up into five parts. So, for posterity, here goes...Warriors at the famous...

    Big week at work for me so I'm just copying and pasting Phil's comment from last week: "So next week. Warriors beat Rooster :) Manly beat Tigers Panthers beat Broncos Dragon beat Sharks Warriors move into the top 8. Don't get excited the refs will be briefed on this during the week and know...

    Well, there it is. The last two games of the round and the top-four play each other. Raiders at home to Roosters, Rabbitohs to host the Storm (albeit on the Central Coast). They've been the best four teams all year, with perhaps the Sea Eagles the only 'outlier' threatening them. Tonight's...

    It's gonna be fascinating - or predictable - how the refs go this weekend, particularly in regard to one-on-one strips and forward passes. How ridiculous it was this week when a workmate told me 'the refs were going harsh on forward passes last weekend because they let a few go the weekend...

    Every game is crucial now, particularly for the lower part of the eight. Beginning tonight, with Sharks v Cowboys. I've forgotten where the Cows are this season but I know Cronulla have recently dropped out of the eight, after four losses (or so). They're another club who will be bemoaning the...

    I'm still 'flat-as' about the CWC finale. Anyway, life has to go on... I'd love the Titans to get a post-coach bounce against the Storm. The latter are pissing me off, they're running away with the competition. Game of the round has to be the traditional Sea Eagles v Eels clash at Brookie...

    Post-Origin, back to business. Of the four or five teams hovering around 7th-8th spot, who wants it the most? Fascinating for Shaun Johnson followers, how well will he respond to some heavy criticism, and a 'hooking', from last week's loss to Brisbane? Against the Storm of all opponents? A...

    A bit of an Origin round bludge. Did Johnson get a serve from his coach last weekend? If so, let's see if he responds well to 'constructive criticism' and comes out and finishes off the Broncos season. The Tigers are in the eight if Cronulla lose again. If they get there then I hope they stay...

    Backing up from Origin isn't such an ask this time. Tonight, Benji rolls on with his Tigers outfit. He's feeling 'inspired', so look out Rabbitohs. Roosters v Storm in Adelaide, Rams territory. How many potential rugby league fans live there I wonder? Ponga will be an angry guy this weekend...

    Over the hump, with only 12 games to go before the finals. Three or four teams look set, and ominous: Storm, Souths, Roosters (despite losing three on the trot), add the Raiders, Knights and Sharks in a, slightly, lower tier. I'm keen to see how good the Knights really are, or how seriously we...

    Post-Origin I blues or mid-way point of the season? Either one. Some teams are doing it hard with players backing up, although the 'modern-day athlete' doesn't seem to have too much trouble in this regard. Another round of fascinating match-ups: starting tonight with the Rabbitohs v Knights...

    Ahh, what the heck. Game One, this week.

    OT: Cricket World Cup 2019

    It's been a dream of mine for NZ to win it. The Windies were on fire in '75 & '79, so we probably wouldn't have won the final if we'd made it that far. As it was, we reached the semis, and could've/should've won both. '83 we had our best ever team, but bombed out in the group stages after a...

    Indigenous Round. Tonight, Eels at home to the Panthers. I'm watching with interest. The Eels have looked solid until their thrashing by the Storm and the Panthers, well. I'm tipping Panthers. They surely can't be falling into this heap so easily. They looked good in reserve grade last week...

    A fascinating round after the 'magic' one. Tonight, will the Storm continue their blitz on the competition by blowing away the Tigers? I hope not. The Tigers are a team that desperately needs to break their finals duck. It's been barren since 2011. Yes, that long ago, and that game. Jimmy...
