    I hardly follow league, so don't know who he is, but this is funny!

    @Stargazer Brandon Smith is Waiheke Island's finest export.

    Hopefully the Warriors get up today and get their 4th win in a row. Broncos just lost to the Roosters by one point last week, so could be a tough one.

    I have fond memories of going with the family to Warriors vs Broncos games back in the early 2000s.

    I remember being in the stands getting so hyped after these fights. Back then we won the games and the fights.

    @dice great memories freezing to death in the old Eastern stand. Campion was a boss and I remember him belting Webcke. Lead by example

    @canefan What a player. Only spent two years with us, but made such a big impact.

    @dice we’ve come out of the sheds with a bang and scored two back to back tries, but true to form we give away a soft one straight after.

    We are down 14-18 with 20 to go.

    Yeah, didn't think we would win this one, but were right in it to the end, perhaps a different kicker today changes the outcome, don't know. Very typical warriors performance, some outstanding efforts mixed some park footy errors.

    Still some positives to look for next year... sigh

    The following season is the mirage that keeps the thirsty Warriors fans crawling on

    Sucks to lose that one. We scored more tries, but only kicked one conversion.

    Our ability under the high ball really cost us. Our kick defusal % was only 46%.

    yeah, we can only hope, I am guess there will be some people that will hang on to that. I am more of a believer that you just need to find a way (with luck) to keep as much of your squad as fit as possible and you will be in the hunt. Everyone will have injuries, but the amount we have had over the last two years has been insane. Some of these could/should be preventable. If you can keep the bulk of your squad together you will be near the pointy end. I think the main squad if all fit is good enough to beat most teams on their day, doesnt mean they will though, but it helps.

    Then hope others have more injuries than you 🙂

    The longer we go without a title, the sweeter it'll be when it comes.

    I was disappointed Nikorima wasn’t picked for this game. Townsend picked I presume because of his kicking? But Kodi offers a much better running game. To me a negative choice.

    Whatever, they have loaded a lot onto Walsh who still struggles on defence but provides so much on attack.

    Nikorima's wife was having a baby.

    By the time the Warriors win a title, we will be able to bus to the final with a pensioners rate, and use our walking frames to get to our seats...
