Could 2023 be our best chance?

Sadly, it appears to be the Warriors themselves doing it. I listened to their latest One NZ Warriors One Take podcast episode today - interview with Shaun Johnson - and they said it at the end. Grrr.

Bizarre.

Bizarre.

I guess their marketing team have decided it's cool name for the fans to call the team and they organisation are on board. I'm not, but at least it gives me something to whinge about as usually I'm whinging at the team by this time of the season.

If you don’t like Wahs you are too old. Old and boring.

that’s what the kids tell me

Wahs
Tahs
Rah-Rahs

nope.

The 'Wahs' sounds like an aussie thing.
Any connection to do with the Warriors being over Australia the past couple seasons?

I think it's more a case of the club semi-officially adopting slang that some fans were already using. I don't actually hate it and can admit saying it a few times myself.

That's shocking mate.

You're dead to me. JK.

But, what fans have been saying it? I haven't heard it before this year.

I thought it was the Waaaaaaaaas, after every game crying about the officials

So, I've been thinking about this more over the weekend (as I was annoyed there was no Warriors match) and I've been extremely cautious about getting excited about the Warriors this year, as I've been burnt too much in the past and the club's direction pre this year has annoyed me so much. But, I think I'm ready to believe - that we can at least make the finals, and maybe last a week or two.

Also, I discovered this week people are starting to call the Warriors the Wahs. I really don't like it.

I have an 09 jumper in my room at school and a parent pointed me out as a Wahs fan at parent teacher interviews last night. Usually that would've thrilled me, but it left me flat.

Not surprising that it's caught on, it's even used on their official social media. Honestly I don't care that much but I certainly don't like it. Does that become the Waaaaaahs if we start losing again?
