    Cook Islands

    I’m currently in Rarotonga , capital of the Cook Islands. I can tell you that RL is the #1 football code here and it features on FTA TV a few times per week, NRL. The Warriors are the most popular team and NRL gear is worn by many locals, as are local teams gear, based around NRL teams. I spoke...

    Pacific Islands

    After a great RLWC where the sport gained traction in the Pacific Islands, it seems now that RU is to make a major play,which will benefit rugby union in the Pacific. RL had the opportunity to grow the sport further but has been dormant with no firm plans...

    NZ coaches - where are they?

    There are so many NZ players now in the NRL, why is it that not too many carry on and coach? In the NRL system at the moment we have Stacey, Kearney, Cayless - not sure about KIDwell now. The NZRL cannot find decent NZ coaches so may have to open up to Aussies. The same applies in SL. Locals...

    How many teams should be in the RLWC?

    I reckon 8-10 teams: Australia Nz Tonga Fiji PNG Samoa France GREAT BRITAN Plus other others? Runnng a developing nations WC at the same time?

    How can the Warriors capture the Tongan Samoan passion & fan base?

    Wouldn't it be great to see some of those supporters at Mt Smart on a regular basis? How do we get the same atmosphere, flag waving, singing, cheering at the Warriors games too? Winning would be a good start!

    Rate Warriors players performances in RLWC, to date.

    A change of environment can do wonders for players or can expose their weaknesses. How would you rate Warriors performances to date with the NRL 2018 season in mind ? I'll throw in a few ... Ken- looks like a NSW Cup player, at best. He gives up at least 1 try Per game and ATA was targeting...

    The bench

    Why is Roache on the bench when Luke is seen as an 80 minute player? Surely another player can cover at hooker if required? We may as well include one of the young, well performing forwards from NSW cup. We talk about Parra only having a 2 man bench we play 16 players each week! This is an...

    Warriors player swap

    Any chance of a player swap for the Warriors? The likes of Tui, Gibb, Allwood, Lino, even Manu - would be good players to trade with other clubs. We could get a big, hard running prop, a ball playing back rower, a centre. Just don't make it another Lane vs. RFM swap as per last year.

    David Kidwell

    Could Kidwell become the next Gary Kemble? By this I mean a disaster as a Kiwi coach & no love shown by players. The way he forgot about JT leaving him on the bench was a shocker. If the Warriors had of done the same thing the coach would have got heaps ... Lolohea vs Manly.

    New Kiwi Jersey

    Perhaps I'm a traditionalist but I found the new Kiwi jerseys to be pretty bad. Bring back the old school black jersey with a white double V. No need for the Maori design as it looks like a maroon / grey shade. What do you think?

    Tony Iro

    Tony Iro is in charge of recruitment at the Warriors - who has he recruited? Most of the high profile signings have come via Jim Doyle. Is Tony responsible for recruiting younger or second tier players? Does he work with the coach to identify players and start the recruiting process? I'm...
