I'm glad i didn't waste my time heading out early today. Thankfully i will get there just before first grade and only witness one loss live today......

This club is on the decline, just when we didn't think they could go lower.

Bit strange seeing Parra fielding an under performing junior side.

They do have a big nursery,so what has happened to their retention?

Under 20s has a salary cap so local juniors only matter in one team towns, or in the Warriors' case, one team countries.

As an example, we had this Warriors halfback signed up but all the Warriors had to do was offer him equal terms (or even slightly less) and he could stay in Auckland amongst his family and friends. So he reneged. It makes the salary cap irrelevant.

The loss of cherry Mescia and Tony Wignal and to appoint an assistant coach as head coach has hurt us big time... Disgraceful decision by management we've become a laughing stock at this level

Why would do they do that? Money issues? But our leagues club made a record amount of profit so they tell us.....

Davis was exceptional last season. Don't know what happened this year.... That last warriors try he's didn't put his body on the line. Not a good sign!!

He wasn't exceptional last season, he just got heaps of opportunity behind a strong team.

He's 20 this year and hasn't even played reserve grade.

I think it is evident that no matter what merkins are in charge (as there have been 3 different in the last 10 years) that we are a laughing stock and it has made no difference.

I'm not on any side, i hate the politics and i just want the club to not embarrass me week in, week out. They are all f**king disgraceful and f**king children as far as i'm concerned.

I'm getting to the point where i wish they would just dismantle the comp and rethink everything. Merge North, South, East and West teams then have Newcastle, Titans, Cowboys, Brisbane, Melbourne, Warriors, second Brisbane team and Western Australia.

12 teams, play each other twice and then top 5 finals.

I don't know, i am just fed up with the shit at our club, they are an embarrassment.

I love the game and would be happy to support Western Sydney with none of the useless merkins involved in our club over the last 10 years anywhere near the place!

Yeh, and it also seems that half our f**king fans (not you) can't help but 'play the man' and are obsessed with playing politics and death riding the club, the plumber, the tea lady etc. You'd think some of them sub-consciously enjoy the club the failing.

I reckon Sharpy and friends are the best of an ordinary bunch, and are worth sticking with for a while, but in the long run I'd rather the NRL license be taken away from all of these clowns (unless we see a pretty sudden change in behaviour).

f**k off you two. Stop death riding the club.

The club has been doing a damn fine job on its own the last 10 years.......i don't hold out any hope that it is going to change any time soon.

I heard a few things yesterday that coupled with other things you hear on here that don't make me feel very confident about the coming years.

Oh you 'heard a few things' did you? I bet you f**king did. That's what happens when you mix with scumbags and whingers. You'll hear plenty of negative bullshit. They thrive on it.

Couldn't agree any more. The current board are definitely the best out of the very poor options we have but i agree i wish the NRL would take away the control from all of them.
