Warriors 1st game

[Beavers Headgear]

Just a heads up for you all that the first game in the clubs history is the game featured on The Greatest, Wednesday night at 10pm, is a half hour highlights package of the game if you haven't seen the show before

Bloody Warriors.

So much promise then, really should have made the playoffs that year but for a sideline error, you have to wonder if the whole history of the club might have been different if they had

We didn't have Sky, so would head down to the neighbours place to watch the games on a Friday night, i would have one eye on the footy and one on the hot daughter

What an atmosphere. Spine tingling. I had to feel for Tea Ropati. Ran onto the field and his nerves got to him and he spewed, in front of a packed house. They played so well.

And in answer to your question JJ, it would have made no difference at all. They played Illawarra the following week and got spanked.

We still lack the hard edge. Players who expect to win and know what it takes, or if they don't know thay work it out - quick. Forwards who are abrasive. We still have a soft underbelly.

Campion was the last hard man we had. Half the size of Webke but he knew what had to be done when his team mates were being dominated.

Was a great night, aside from the final result.

It set up our legacy of being screwed by refs!
First try Carnes knee touched the sideline!
Taewa tackled before the ball gets to him in the air - Alfie scores.
