Does Australia not want the Warriors in the comptetition

[Iron Lion]

I have noticed all year on the footy shows that the Warriors are lucky to ever bare a mention, they maybe get 10 - 20seconds when rounding up the weekend's results/. What stands out this week has been how the Warriors have been getting snubbed in the media yet again. A little ominous for the Warriors heading into the finals. Hopefully, the refs won't judge them too much harder than the Panthers tonight given Gould organised a refs meet with the Panthers this week for tonight's game.

Notice what team is missing in this weeks news from these pics?

There isn't much time for the Warriors.

The media have better things to do, like discuss blokes getting drunk.

I feel I speak for the entire country when I say this:

No, we don’t want the Warriors in the NRL. Glad you finally got the hint.

The Australian media covers what they believe interests their viewers, readers, and listeners most.

Raiders are pretty much in the same boat and probably the Titans.... Warriors just have to win the premiership and become a force and make it so the media can't ignore them.

For a long time. Mike Gibson spoke about it once. He did a story for Wired World of Sports on the Raiders back in the day and he was hauled into Kerry Packers office and told they were off the networks radar.

It could be worse, you could get the parra treatment from the media.

Pretty dog by the media, I can understand how Warriors fans would feel. Put it this way, I’d MUCH prefer them in there than say broncos/storm/roosters/panthers

Sorry mate dont speak for me. I like the Warriors and hope another Kiwi team eventually joins.

Raiders?


Can Anyone teach me how the f**k to quote small sections and multiple posts.

Because that raiders comment would’ve been heaps funnier .

Just hit reply to as many posts as you want to reply to. They will all appear in your text box.

And if you don't want to quote the whole post, delete the bits you don't want.

I think most reasonable fans want the warriors in the comp because they've got brains enough to see the benefits having them in have.

No doubt there's still a small bunch of morons who say 'New Zealand isn't efen in Orstralia, how can dey be in our comp?', but hopefully inbreeding is weeding them out.


I think a lot of fans and media are sceptical about the warriors because their performances ovee the years have been very flakey. Seriously, besides the most ardent of warriors fans, who thinks they will win in 2018?

I think we should have 2 Auckland teams (move the Roosters over) a team in Wellington and a team in Christchurch.

 

[TheVelourFog]

Dry your eyes mate

I think most neutrals would be happy to see the Warriors do well

 

[Card Shark]

Love having the Warriors in the comp, in fact I’d like a 2nd NZ team (although 2nd Brisbane team & Perth is more priority).

Trouble is they never perform consistently week in, week out or year in / year out.

Become consistent & you’ll get the coverage you deserve.

 

[Zerô]

Zero media coverage and no expectations for a likable team going into a very winnable final.

Pretty sure the Warriors have the sweet part of the deal here.

 

[Saint Doc]

I’d be interested to know how much coverage Australian teams get in NZ media?

On the NZ herald Sport webpage there are 6 rugby league stories
- 4 warriors stories
- 1 warriors women’s story
- 1 recap of last nights game

No preview of sharks roosters
No preview Broncos dragons
No Lance Thompson story
No Bulldogs drama story
No Tigers drama story

Do New Zealand even want the Warriors in the NRL?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

It is very raw and indignant treatment. I would've thought Shaun Johnson would fit in quite well with all those players featured in the Fox Sports ad, at the very least.

 

[magpie_man]

Kick them out of the comp, and Brisbane, North Queensland, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Canberra while we're at it.
Bring back North Sydney, Newtown and maybe Glebe.
Play a coupla regular season fixtures over in Adelaide because I like it's wine regions and one in Tassie coz I like the Scotch.
Perfect.

Does the NZ media have good coverage of teams not the Warriors?

I am Australian I want the Warriors there.
