    Least Favourite Warrior of All Time

    Lawrie won our Rookie of the Year award in 2007 too - by default, as he was that year's only debutant. What a (bizarre) legend.

    Iconic Warriors Moments

    Sorry - some bad wording re: Webb's kicking on my part. What I meant is that Webb never kicked for regularly for us again once the shot clock was introduced in the 2004 season.

    Iconic Warriors Moments

    Another vote for that 2003 win against the Roosters in Sydney. An unusual game but epic, and given our team on the day we were big underdogs against a star-studded Roosters team. What added to the revenge factor was that our win (it was a Rd 25 game) essentially took the minor premiership off...

    Decision time looming

    Agree with you totally re: Cappy. There's been plenty of character assassination of the guy recently, both online and in the media, which in my mind is mostly unfair. While the prevailing characterisation of Cappy at the moment is that he is completely and utterly incompetent, that the players...

    No Warriors in SOO

    Just one point - Richard Villasanti never played Origin (only for Australia in 2003). A couple of other players have made their Origin debuts directly from the Warriors however - PJ Marsh in 2002 and Kevin Campion in 2001 were selected for Queensland. Micheal Luck was also selected as...

    Warriors Best Cult Player Appreciation Thread

    Atkins played versus the Roosters at home in 2004. They kept kicking to his corner and he was returning at 100mph...straight at Adrian Morley, who obliged by belting him into next week on each occasion. It was Morley's work on Atkins that riled up Awen Guttenbeil enough to respond with his now...

    Simon says

    If you're looking for a fix to this team's woes, Mannering is the last person to point the finger at. Nobody questioned his leadership in 2010 or 2011, but come 2012... The inconsistency , ill-discipline, poor attention to detail, disinterest, lack of fitness and desire are neither captaincy...

    Elliott cleaning house

    I for one have thoroughly enjoyed watching the progressive dismantling of a football department - coaches, players and football management - that achieved the wonderful feat of getting every grade to a grand final two years ago today, and had won a club championship a year prior to that. Our...

    3-2-1 v Manly

    Looks like Elliott is learning on the job - the scrum play that netted the Laumape try was the same one Melbourne ran against us twice and had a bit of joy a few weeks ago.

    Essentials New Zealand Warriors DVD

    It does indeed - with the overlaid title of "New Zealand's sporting heroes" - Todd Byrne, George Gatis, Micheal Luck, Steve Price and maybe Nathan Fien? Classic.

    Team v Roosters

    The refereeing was a touch dodgy that day, but it went both ways in an epic game - comp game of the season. One of Lauaki's tries was scored off a quarterback's pass from Rovelli, and Manu got a good slice of benefit of the doubt chasing through on a grubber. I, and many others, left feeling...

    We're at the bottom of the table

    Titans got the spoon in 2011.

    Recruitment

    "Dithered" is an interesting one - wonder what precisely that means, whether supercoach pulled out or they gave up during negotiations to pick Elliott? One gets the sense that they were fully captivated by Elliott's words and not swayed by his past record and criticisms of his style...

    Recruitment

    It didn't quite play out that way - the "supercoach" pulled out of his own accord. Watson then defended the signing of Elliott when the media pegged him as the last man standing, saying that he "blew the socks off" I believe Bill Wavish (i.e. it didn't matter we missed supercoach as Elliott was...

    The 6, 7, 9 dilemma

    Wiki and Price both signed during 2004, which was worse than any other season dished up in the history of the club.

    U20's v Waicoa Bay

    Tama Koopu is Wai Koopu's younger brother - interested to see how he goes this year.

    Team v Panthers- Trial 2

    Fisiaahi needed to make much more of an impression against a second string Titans side to be pencilled in for the NRL side on the wing. He was poor in the first trial.

    Warriors games on tape

    The Faumuina chip kick was Rd 14 2003, away at Parra. By all means watch the first 70 minutes, but that last 10 are best left confined to history. This was the game that PJ Marsh suffered that awful neck injury.

    Teams who target other certain teams players

    The Warriors-Cowboys connection had a lot to do with Kevin Campion returning to Auckland and working as our defensive coach after he retired. He's the one who sold Micheal Luck to the Warriors after being released by the Cows (at the time facing a very uncertain future) and Gatis working in a...
