    Warriors embarrass Union

    I see a recent poll has 53% favouring watching the Warriors over 31% watching the NPC (provincial union), with the rest don't care. Kav

    Orford: The most important player going into the finals.

    The key to winning final matches and particularly Grand Finals is having a set of forwards with the aggressive defence and willing go forward to grind the opposition down. Then, and only then, can halves use their talents to create try scoring opportunities for the ball runners and wingers...

    Melbourne.. a cure for insomnia

    They lack personality. Very effective as a team, they don't have individuals (and particularly halves) who stamp their personality on a game. Other teams have "personality" players such as Sonny Bill, Matt Orford, Benji Marshall, Todd Carney. Jonathon Thurston or Scott Prince. If I was to define...

    f**k Off Extra Time

    Golden Point only really comes into effect when the scores are levelled in the final minutes of a game; when that happens with 10 to go it's virtually like Golden Point anyway with both teams looking for the field goal. I think most fans want to see a winner not a shared result - surely that is...

    Sonny Bill Williams

    I agree; it wasn't one of Sonny's best but he is still on a learning process. Wait until he graduates! Kav

    Warriors embarrass Union

    The largely irrelevant Bartercard Cup didn't help the cause. The Kiwi public saw the great gulf between the Warriors playing in the NRL and the next level down and discerned that local league was not worth following. Changes made by the NZRL where club and provincial competition has been...

    Warriors embarrass Union

    It is not just the Warriors games that are appealing to the average Joe Blow kiwi. The standard of the NRL has been consistently higher than anything offered by union this season and particularly so recently with plenty of competitive contests (I think we have four golden points in the last two...

    Sonny Bill Williams

    It's not just a particular talent that marks a player of class - it's the range of talent eg Lockyer, Johns or Jones. A coolness under pressure and a certain humility also helps and Sonny Bill has plenty of that. Kav

    Sonny Bill Williams

    Although relatively new to the top flight, Sonny Bill shows an extraordinary range of talents and the level headedness needed to excel for many years. On that basis, fans have every right to marvel at his achievements and wonder how much better he can become with more experience. Kav

    Annual NRL Forum Poll Awards 2007: 5/8th

    Anasta close to Lockyer? I thought this poll covered the whole season, not just the last few weeeks. Kav

    Sonny Bill Williams

    Sonny Bill stands like a colossus in a game dominated by hard men. He is lacking nothing. The guy is only 22, and barring permanent injury, will dominate our game for another decade. Kav

    Opposition Players you love

    As a Warriors' fan, I love to watch these players go round: Sonny Bill - rugby league personified. Beaver Menzies - durability; beautiful footwork, anticipation Matt Bowen - strength for a little man, brilliance, ball skills Luke Covell - makes the most of his limitations, team man Matt...

    Fittler: We can still make finals

    My advice is don't give up if they get beaten tonight - their destiny is in their hands having to play close rivals Titans and Rabbitohs. The Dragons also have a tough draw (Rabbitohs, Cowboys, Eels & Sea Eagles) and must win them all if the Roosters get to 25 points. Check out NRL.com for...

    Fittler: We can still make finals

    The Broncos hold the key. They have a tough draw (Storm, Bulldogs, Raiders & Eels). Assuming they only beat the Raiders, then the Roosters only need to win three out of their last four games (against Tigers, Titans, Panthers & Rabbitohs) to sneak home in 8th spot (25 points). Kav

    Anyone Brave enough to call the Grand Final teams yet ?

    Grand Finals are won up front before class prevails out wider. The best prop in the game at the moment is Steven Price; a quality metres man and highly respected captain. He has the support of some big men not lacking footwork or ball skills. They are the reason why the Warriors are on a roll at...

    roosters vs warriors... what if

    If the Warriors had taken a field goal 20 metres out in front of the posts when the score was 30-18, the sin binning would not have happened and the Warriors would have scored a couple of more tries. Kav

    New emerging backs

    Sonny Bill is the best young talent I've seen in 40 odd years of watching rugby league. He has got amazing strength, anticipation, footwork, ball skills and mobility - the complete package. Pity his private affairs leave a lot to be desired as that could be his downfall if he doesn't sort...

    Do Melbourne have what it takes or will it be straight-sets?

    The Melbourne Storm have been the best team all season with Manly being the only challenger. Their loss to the Roosters can be ignored, given they rested two of their better players and were therefore a little complacent. Given that, they won't have everything their own way in the finals with...

    Epalahame Lauaki

    Luaki is an example of a raw kid getting some experience in the top grade, developing under the guidance of a couple of old hands and now having the knowledge and confidence to use his natural skills and his size to good effect. There are any number of E. Luaki's awaiting their chances to...
