There’s half an hour till kick off and here I am waiting for my Sydney Roosters song to finish uploading to YouTube so I can publish this post and get down to the pub to watch the game. I’m feeling pretty positive about the Warrior’s chances today, so that will mean one of two things….I will be absolutely over the moon if they win or….I’ll be terribly disappointed if they lose. The main thing is….I’m still keen to watch the mighty Warriors play!
This song was supposed to commemorate the triumphant return to form of the mighty Warriors but I’m afraid it wasn’t to be. I missed the game because I got my timezones mixed up. I thought it was 4pm Aussie time instead of Auckland time. In the end it’s probably best I missed it. It must have been heartbreaking to watch the Bulldogs score that last try. Anyway I hope you enjoy the song. Hopefully it will be more accurate when we play them again in a few weeks!
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!!

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…)
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…)
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…)
This is the long awaited video for my song about the Canberra Raiders. Unfortunately, for New Zealand Warriors supporters, the score line ended up with the big numbers on the wrong side. I’m afraid this song will not be valid until the Warriors meet the Raiders in their next encounter. The green machine won’t have it so easy next time.

I really think this song will be enjoyed as much by Cowboys supporters as it will be by New Zealand Warriors fans. Rugby league followers in North Queensland are amongst the most realistic, grounded individuals on the planet. They are more likely to realise and accept the superiority the Warriors have over their team than supporters of most other NRL clubs would.

I purchased a band from the Sonny Fai Wristband Appeal and it arrived during the flood clean up. I wanted to write a piece of music inspired by the life and power of Sonny Fai. I wore the wristband during the whole process, from writing and arranging through to performing and recording. Rugby league fans, and fans of the New Zealand Warriors especially, will remember Sonny’s short but ultra-positive contribution for many years to come. Don’t give up!
I’ve tried to continue with my theme of belittling the opposition in this marvellous anthem dedicated to clashes between the New Zealand Warriors and the Brisbane Broncos. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the Broncos have upset the apple cart by defeating our army clad in black. We’ll get ‘em next time and then my song will take on a whole new relevance.
