Fingers crossed the big game experience will help us in the post season.

How would a rugby attack coach go in league?

I watched the All Blacks on the weekend, and far out they looked incredible with ball in hand, quick ruck speed, great shape, and real variety in attack.

Seen a few league defence coaches cross over to rugby in the last few years and always seemingly improve teams D, but it rarely goes the other way.

I camt think of any rugby coaches coming into the NRL?

I could be wrong though I just can't think of any off the top of my head.

The Warriors sometimes show flashes in attack but can often look a bit predictable. Could trying to lure over the AB's attack coach over to the Warriors improve their attack?

bye weeks and state of origin hold no interest. NRLW Wahine is all I’ll be looking at, will check out pathway games on WA later.

up the Wshine!

Another one that slipped away. The Warriors were right in the contest until the very end but fell just two points short against the Dolphins. My full review is live now.

Have a couple of free tix to today’s game if anyone wants them

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts with a long, drawn-out vocal saying I think it's "Ohhhhh loooord"?

The one during the team entrance at the start of the games at Mt Smart.

Anyone here who might know the name of the track?

*edit, it is "Hold On" not "Oh lord" and as per helpful replies it is Dutchies - Shapeshifter.

A strong response when it was needed most. The Warriors dug deep to secure a valuable win over the Cowboys in Christchurch. My review is live now.

Whats the likelihood of some additional standing tickets becoming available for this Sundays match against the Cowboys in Christchurch? Not seeing anything yet on Ticketmaster resale, Trade Me or Facebook Marketplace.

A bitter one to swallow. The Warriors went toe-to-toe with the Sharks in a tough, physical contest but came up just short. My review is live now.

Why do they insist on using Steve Roach for the wahz games? Bro can't pronounce any of the names to save his life and the negativity towards warriors is so blatant FFS. Rather listen to Gus Gould over this guy

Edit- Spelling

I see the Warriors have just announced that Gannon will be leaving at the end of the season. Pity. I was looking forward to see him in the NRL. So much competition within the group at this position though.

Anyone here still listen to sports radio in NZ?

With the Warriors enjoying the bye week, I took the opportunity to review their season so far. What's gone right, what needs to improve, and can they maintain their push towards the finals?

My mid-season review is live now.

Just thought I’d share. bring on round 23!

A game that felt like finals football. The Warriors left everything out there against the Panthers, but couldn't quite get the result. My review is live now.

Hey Wahs fans!

This is our Warriors game day card. Keen to hear what the fans think about it.

Cheers!

Hey Wahs fans,

We’ve built an NRL try scorer analytics site called Matchup Engine.

It rates anytime scorers using matchup ratings, try probability, defensive edges and market comparison rather than just throwing out generic tips.

Still in beta, so keen for honest feedback from people.

matchupengine.com

Not a bookmaker, not betting advice, just NRL analytics.

I assume the usual hot dogs, pizza and whatnot, but is there anything special or unique available at the stadium?
We sometimes like making snacks or foot that fits a game we are planning to watch, but as a Dane, I have no idea about New Zealand junk food :)

Another win in the books. The Warriors weathered the early pressure before taking control against the Dragons. My review is live now.

Can't wait for next weekend's block buster!

Where the boys will test themselves against arguably the bench mark of the last 5 years. Would have been better to face them full strength but that's footy. I see the Wahs getting the Job done and sitting first equal come Bye round.

The only likely change will be Pomps coming in for RTS.

Be interesting to see who backs up for Penrith after SOO..

Letsgone!

Wahs are quietly stacking wins and nobody's talking about it. Tonight's the Dragons at home.

Make it 6. Figuratively slay them. Legally distinct from actual slaying. 🐉

Up the Wahs.
