Stacey Jones Song – 250 NRL Appearances

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I just had to write a song to help celebrate Stacey Jones reaching the milestone of 250 first grade appearances for the New Zealand Warriors. Stacey is a living league legend and deserves to be treated with the utmost respect. He has been bagged relentlessly by media and fans alike. Some of the forum posts I’ve read have made me want to vomit. Some people just love to ridicule champions. Congratulations Stacey and well done for winning on the night as well. Up the Warriors!!

Newcastle Knights Song

Friday, June 12th, 2009

This is my latest song about the New Zealand Warrior’s opposition teams in the NRL. I uploaded this to YouTube on Thursday and luckily, for me, the mighty Warriors smashed the Newcastle Knights 13 to nil. Stacey Jones celebrated his 250th NRL appearance with a strong victory. Kevin Locke was really impressive again on the wing and I really like the look of Lewis Brown. He is really enthusiastic and worked tirelessly in atrocious conditions to help secure the Warrior’s win. (more…)

Warriors Fail to Overcome Sharks

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

I’ve just come back from the pub after watching the Warriors get beaten by the Cronulla Sharks. The Warriors won the 2nd half 6 – 0 but that doesn’t mean much when you lose the 1st half 18 – 4. Something just isn’t clicking within the team at the moment and the most worrying thing today, for me, was the fact they could obtain good field position for lengthy periods without converting opportunities into points. I think Ivan Cleary is right when he says it’s a confidence issue but it’s hard to imagine why they are not confident.

Warrior dropped balls and poor defensive reads contributed to the Sharks jumping to an 18 – 0 lead. The Warriors got back on top late in the first half and well into the second, until dropped balls once again wrecked any chance of turning things around. Manu Vatuvei’s try was a beauty. The attack leading up to Stacey Jones’ kick looked a bit desperate though. The commentators had to comment on how much Manu has improved his handling. That never gets old, does it?

Cronulla Sharks Song

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

I posted this clip to YouTube yesterday morning. It’s a quirky little song I wrote and arranged a couple of days ago to celebrate (in advance) the Warrior’s annihilation of the Cronulla Sharks. Now I just hope it happens! Anyway, even if the Warriors lose (I’m sure they won’t) the clip will be relevant one day……and when that day arrives I will be a happy rugby league fan! (more…)

Wests Tigers Song

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

The Warriors returned to the winner’s list last weekend with an emphatic win over the toothless Wests Tigers. I forgot to make this post with my new video sooner. It was featured on the official Warriors website prior to the game. Thanks for that guys!! Thanks to the Warriors players too….for delivering a performance to brighten the supporters hopes. Great stuff! (more…)
