@shark you obviously haven’t been to a rugby court session. I’ve witness guys pelican each other and drink a pint of piss to get out of court sessions.
It happens in all of society. Aussie media just sensationalise a lot more than anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong Aussie league have their fair share of idiots. But to say they are all boof heads is wrong.
Your allowed to just not like league. I’m not really a fan of soccer.
As for clubs going under , if the warriors don’t play the nrl only has 7 games every week. The contract with the telcos states they must play 8 games every week. So no one gets paid. -

Broncos v Souths was actually really good last night
Crazy that Brisbane have Fifita and Haas. We have Lachlan Burr.

@chchfanatic I've been involved in many a court session, and end of season trips are as bad if not worse. Plenty of disgusting behaviours which at the time seemed funny, mostly! But you can't compare Div 5 club rugby to highly paid professional athletes. For some ridiculous reason NRL players seem prone to doing stupid / lewd / immoral shit either publicly or on social media. You can't tell me the union guys are doing all the same shit and just aren't as unlucky or miraculously have it brushed under the carpet.

100 years ago was the last time a premiership team was held scoreless in their first two games. 11 minutes to go...
I have watched the last 20 minutes. They are absolutely dire.

We might be awarded a tinny one here

So happy the new owners are a big step up from the old owners.....

No Warriors player has scored a try in 160 minutes of rugby league.

@Donsteppa more so the players are just shit!!! I would only pick ah mai, Harris, green, fusitua, mamalo and rts as first class players... nz league development is crap and has been for a long time

In the old days the Warriors had access to most of the emerging talent in NZ. These days they compete with all the teams in the league

@canefan being involved in secondary sport and league I would say the level has dropped dramatically in the last 10 years. U look at a nz u18/17/15 team and only a handful have made nrl. Can’t rely on local talent. Harsh but true
-
@shark they had a outrageous rule back in the day when I played a year at Shirley. If you could suck yourself off you didn’t have to do court session. Obviously not thinking anyone could do it. Up steps a guy Barry Baxter. Boom. Not something I want to see again.

Most of that team weren't really local talent. Even a bunch of the NZers in the team came through pathways other than the Warriors. I think only Fus, Ken, Harris-Tevita and Papali'i are actual "locals".
It's just a poorly assembled squad.

@Nepia more when you go back to hay days of toopi. Jones, lauatitii etc the NZ guys weren’t shit they were amazing plus adding in your campions, lucks, marsh, price etc. now look, Pappalii was meant to be next big NZ thing but he is terrible modern day back rower. Only Harris, Ah Mau, RTS, moemalo and fusitua are NZ players who would make 17 every week of most teams.
