Souths v NZ Warriors Match Thread *spoilers*

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

quick history lesson...

Parramatta 74 def Cronulla 4, 2003
Cronulla 68 def Manly 6, 2005
Newcastle 70 def Canberra 32, 2006

Cronulla were robbed that day and it should not be included with these other hammerings.

in the aopst 10 years what is the best position south have finished

Relative to teams in the comp it would be 1999. 10th place out of 17
10 wins
14 losses

First, the crowd was 6,500, and I don't think it was a beat up. That was a fair and accurate crowd. For those bagging people for leaving, most of those South Sydney fans stayed to the bitter end, so I give them massive kudos. The spirit of the game at the ground was fine. So for those who want to bag out those fans who did turn up, go screw yourselves.

Second, the Warriors played incredibly good football. Basic, well drilled football. Credit where credits due. They didn't switch off, they had pride in their line, they completed their sets.

Third, Souths do need to hit the tackling bag, and hard.

Price is a gun, absolute gun. He kills it week in week out for the Warriors.

South Sydney aren't a one-off case Warrick. They have performed below standard and haven't made a final series in over a decade, possibly two now I think.

I don't know what, but surely something can be done.

They were minor premiers in 1989, they fell apart in 1990, finishing with the wooden spoon. The rest is history ..

I don't understand how you Rugby League 'supporters' can laugh and enjoy this.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Just on the crowd. I'm not going to bag the people who showed up. I just think it's a pretty sorry state of affairs, when free tickets are given out to anyone with a NZ passport and only near 6,500 people show up.

Where were the 10,000 free-loaders who snapped up the finals tickets a few years back??? That really is piss poor, the NRL should look long and hard in to that one. I could not believe it.

 

[NZ Warrior]

I don't understand how you Rugby League 'supporters' can laugh and enjoy this.

I'm a RL supporter and I both laughed and enjoyed it. You see, my team beat another team by 66 points, what's not to enjoy???

Naturally if you are a Warriors fan you would be overjoyed with this victory. On that note congrats! You have done well to keep a positive attitude despite starting on -4 at the beginning of the season.

Souths supporters try to keep your heads up.
You have made some quality signings for next year and management has changed so it will take time for things to settle down.

Crowds are a major concern though... but how many people are gunna dish out money to watch a struggling team? It sucks but its true unfortunately. Once you start having success on the park the crowds will return.

Warriors and Rabbitohs are in the same boat in regards to crowd numbers

melbourne don't get too much more either and they are playing well

 

[mulvihill]

Karma for 1909

 

[*Paul*]

15 years in a row without making the semis, a record made worse by how many finalists we have now.

The alltime record is Penrith, who took 18 seasons to make the finals, and Norths, who missed out 16 times in a row 1966-1981.

 

[Bumble]

I'm just completely desensitized to this team right now.

Thank god the World Cup is more important to me than the NRL.

Not sure on the crowd stats for the Warriors the past few years, but could their crowd figures be down in 2006 because of the points adjustment at the beginning of the year?

Just asking because after reading various RL forums on the adjustment, it appeared many fans had written off the Warriors chances of making the 8 for 2006.

 

[Murphdogg1]

Exactly Nightstalker

surely we should get a decent crowd this week against the Panthers, especially with the All Blacks having the week off

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Yep I think that's the mainstay of it Nightstalker, but as most of us know that league isn't that much of a high profile thing in Auckland. Yes Ii admit alot of Aucklanders are rather fickele when it comes to footy, ask them about it and the closets you get is them talking about the AB's. Fair enough. Also I think because people don't always have the money to spend, time and so on and the fact some enjoy sitting at home watching more often

This time he's guilty of murder.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

This time he's guilty of murder.

Is it murder if the body is already dead when you start beating up on it? I think he's just guilty of desecrating a corpse...

 

[Iafeta]

I'm sure Eric would have enjoyed that one just quietly... one more over Rusty.
