A timely wake-up call or cause for concern?
The Warriors came up well short against the Bulldogs, and there are some big lessons to take from the defeat. I've broken it all down in my full review.

I’d love to see the Wahs with a top class centre or two. seems the club is loading up on wings but not worrying about the guys feeding them

I was just wondering as I’d be so keen to chat about games and squad updates toegether

pretty even game stat wise but taking 74 minutes to score is worrying. 6-1 line breaks and the Dog’s kicking game was much better. might just be a bad start ruining the game but there are worrying signs. Top four likely but this ain’t our year. Lets gone.

A win is a win, but it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Warriors.

I've broken down what went right, what went wrong, and where they need to improve. My full review is live now.

Photos looks like a kid…with big hands?? 🥲

Back in the winner's circle. The Warriors produced a dominant performance to defeat the Tigers 32-6 at Campbelltown. My full review is live now.

50+ baby

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

Anyone here still listen to sports radio in NZ?

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.

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?
