    Is BRAND WARRIORS Dead?

    Hi team, Just wondering. Is the New Zealand Warriors brand dead? I can't remember a preseason in Warriors history where there is such a lack of interest and belief in the Warriors brand. Has the new owner purposely decided to drop it and rebuild the brand in 24 months from now or are they...

    A better prospect than CHT?

    https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2019/09/09/highlights-jersey-flegg-player-of-the-year-paul-turner/ Check out the highlights. Highly rated but that doesn't mean Kearney will ever give him any game time in 2020 or 2021. Just ask Hayze Perham. Though with Hayze Perham and Paul Turner you could...

    Kearney has the lowest win career % of any warriors coach ever

    Another season is done, early Xmas for the Warriors. Keep picking those same players Kearney. Its impossible Kearney is coaching the Warriors in 2020. He is surely out of a job? Name Games Wins Losses Draws Win % MONIE, John...

    What pisses me off the most about the Warriors targeting David Fifita

    Supposedly want to pay Fifita $1m per season. Yes, David Fifita is a rock star in the making. Yes, he is exceedingly better and more talented than any backrower in our NRL squad. Even comparing Fifita with Papalii is like comparing a Ferrari with an old Ford Escort. What annoys me, even...

    Warriors halfback Blake Green explodes: 'Why not just kick us out of comp?'

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?objectid=12257366&ref=twitter Warriors halfback Blake Green admits that frustration got the better of him late in the second half of their win over Manly on Friday night, causing an out of character outburst about the officiating. The Warriors confounded...

    Have the junior players suffered the most under Stephen Kearney?

    I think one of the most damning facts on Stephen Kearney is his utter inability to develop local junior talent. In 3 years at the Warriors as head coach he has bought through virtually no junior talent. Jazz Tevaga and Bunty Afoa both were debuted under Andrew Mcfadden. Under Kearney the only...

    Stephen Kearney Career Coaching Stats and Replacement

    Is this head coach quality? 105 games 37 wins 1 Draw 67 Losses 35.2% win rate Based on those stats you are missing the top 8 every year. In fact, it's rare you even get close to the top 8. To be fair In comparison to other NRL coaches. I have highlighted 3 coaches I think could be available...

    Does It Matter Who We Recruit? Warriors should be re-branded and relocated.

    Are we at the stage where it doesn't matter what players we recruit? Does it seem that any signings are false hope at best? I get the feeling we could sign Jason Taumalolo, Cameron Smith, Latrell Mitchell and Jake Trbojevic and still play terrible football. The New Zealand Warriors issues are...

    The 'Peter O'Sullivan' Effect

    We know what this guy has achieved and done for the Storm and the Roosters. Two questions for you. Question 1: When do you expect his impact to benefit the Warriors? Question 2: Could Stephen Kearney's coaching negatively impact Peter O'Sullivan's ability to have his players blooded in and...

    SHOCKING ADMISSION - Adam Blair Admits "Warriors Are Not Tough Enough To Play NRL"

    Question - How much do you get paid to suck at your job? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12238703 Warriors forward Adam Blair admits the team have a problem dealing with adversity in games – and belief dips when things go against them. Speaking after the...

    2019 - You Want The Cold Hard Truth. It's Over.

    Last season the Warriors snuck into the finals and finished in the eighth spot with 15 victories. Meaning the Warriors could still make it but they would need to win 13 of their remaining 16 games, which looks unlikely by judging Stephen Kearney's coaching ability. It is clear and obvious...

    Isaiah Papali'i the new Todd Lowrie?

    What everyone's thoughts on this guy. I'm considerably concerned he is viewed as a long term warrior. I struggle to see what makes him a good player at NRL level. Does basics well like make tackles. But what else does he do? I have noticed the opposition like running at him because he...

    Chanel Harris-Tavita

    Thought CHT had a rock solid debut. Albeit against an awful Titans side. I was in the AK camp but after seeing CHT perform last night I'm convinced he is the better option in the halves. He looks to be a natural half. We actually looked better with him out there. He is no SJ but I think he...
