I took the commentary by Jason Costigan from Sky Sport’s coverage of the New Zealand Warrior’s Round 2 clash with Cronulla at Mount Smart Stadium, and created this tune which I’m sure will become a timeless classic. Rugby League has never sounded this good. I’m hoping it appeals to all fans of NRL teams.

NZ Warriors Thrash Parramatta Eels – Round 17 – NRL 2010

The Warriors win their 3rd game in a row for the first time since 2008. Jerome Ropati had an awesome game. The NRL website says he gained 275 metres throughout the match. Filling in as fullback due to an injury to Lance Hohaia, Ropati caused all sorts of havoc for the Parramatta defence on another cold, rainy game-day. Ukuma Ta’ai and Lewis Brown had really good games too, as did the halves, James Maloney and Isaac Johns. The scores were close right up until the 60th minute with the Warriors holding a slim, 12 -- 6 lead but Parra gave up and the Warriors ran away with it, winning 35-6 in the end.

Kevin Locke Hat-trick Rap

A couple of Sundays ago, on the 27rh of June, I went down to the pub and watched the Warriors play the Roosters. It was round 16 of the 2010 NRL competition. The game was a home game for the Roosters but they elected to play it in Wellington, NZ. It was wet and wild in Wellington so conditions were not ideal for a free flowing game of rugby league. The Roosters seemed to be on top for much of the game but thanks to a hat-trick of tries to Kevin Locke (the man no one calls ‘the road runner’) the Warriors scraped home in the last minute of the game.

Manu Vatuvei scored in the corner with about 8 minutes to go and James Maloney converted the try from the sideline to pull the Warriors to within 4 points of the Roosters. With 2 minutes on the clock I contemplated leaving the pub but decided not too. I knew I’d be terribly disappointed if I left and my team managed to snare a last minute victory. I’m so glad I didn’t leave. Lance Hohaia put the little grubber kick through and Kevin Locke chased it like a demon, gave it another kick and then put his body on the line to score the try next to the post. In doing so he managed to bang himself pretty bad. His heroics inspired me to write this song and put it up on the internet for everyone to witness. The Warriors rock!

New Zealand Warriors Rap

I uploaded this rap to YouTube on May the 9th, just before the 2010 NRL season kicked off. It was suppose to promote the idea that the Warriors have an equal chance with every other team in the competition prior to a whistle being blown. With 9 rounds to go the Warriors have just squeezed into the top 8, and are starting to play some enterprising and entertaining rugby league. I’m confident they can win more games than they lose from this point forward, ensuring a berth for themselves in the semi finals. The Warriors rock!

New Zealand Warriors Song – Vodafone One Tribe

Aussie Warriors Fan — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:02:53 +0000

Keep the faith!

This song was requested by Leon @ Vodafone via the New Zealand Warriors fan forum on the Vodafone One Tribe website. Thanks for the autographed copy of Steve Price’s book, Be Your Best.

Having the New Zealand Warriors as part of the NRL is a great thing for the growth of rugby league. I hope the powers-that-be consider adding a 2nd New Zealand team when the time comes for the NRL to think about expansion.

If you support the New Zealand Warriors and you haven’t had a look at the Vodafone One Tribe site yet, do yourself a favour and check it out.

Lyrics

South Sydney Rabbitohs Song

Aussie Warriors Fan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:15:50 +0000

This video was due about 23 weeks ago, before round 4, when the New Zealand Warriors met the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Mount Smart Stadium. The clash was dedicated to the memory of Sonny Fai and there were several activities to mark the occasion at the ground. Unfortunately, for Warriors fans, the good guys were beaten by the bunnies and there wasn’t much to smile about from that point on for the 2009 season. I’ve finally finished all the videos for the 15 songs about the Warriors NRL opposition. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy eating chocolate!

Rabbitohs

Everybody watch as the Rabbitohs run away
They’re shakin’ in their boots ’cause they play the Warriors today
The poor little Rabbitohs are never gonna reach their prime
They’re in the wrong place at the wrong time

Everbody laugh as the Rabbitohs run and hide
The Warriors win with power, passion and pride
The Rabbitohs drop as the Warriors start their climb
Rabbits in the wrong place at the wrong time

Oma rapeti, oma rapeti
Oma oma oma

Everybody cheer as the Rabbitohs jump and run
The Warriors quest for domination has begun
The poor little Rabbitohs failed to see the sign
In the wrong place at the wrong time

Melbourne Storm Song

Aussie Warriors Fan — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:46:45 +0000

The Warriors played their last game of the year 11 days ago, on the 4th of September, 2009. They suffered an embarrassing 30 – 0 loss to the mighty Melbourne Storm. I’ve had the flu so I’ve been unable to complete the Melbourne Storm song and video until today. It’s an entertaining little ditty, paying respect to the New Zealand Warriors as they bid farewell to the 2009 NRL season and look forward to better things next year! The video for the song is pretty weird. I filmed it in bed to draw attention to the fact that I’ve been sick. Why? I don’t know. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Rugby league will be the winner at the end of the day!

Storm In A Tea Cup

The Warriors will bring them to their knees
That’s not a Storm, it’s a gentle breeze
The Warriors are back and they’re back in form
And they’re not afraid of a little Storm

The Warriors are coming and they’re after you
That’s not a Storm, it’s a shower or two
And they won’t hide where it’s safe and warm
The Warriors will rise through the eye of the Storm

The Warriors will prevail
The Warriors are rising up
The Warriors are ready for anything
You’re just a Storm in a tea cup

The Warriors are real, this is not pretend
That’s not a Storm, it’s the rainbow’s end
I’m just a messenger, here to inform
No thunder and lightning will come from this Storm

Penrith Panthers Song

Aussie Warriors Fan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:02:13 +0000

The Warriors played the Penrith Panthers a few weeks back in round 21. They led by 26 points before drawing 32 all by the end of extra time. I was a bit lazy putting the song together but I’ve finally finished it and made an accompanying video clip. It’s not easy to remain upbeat and motivated but I love the mighty New Zealand Warriors so I make myself push on through. I’m hoping the Kiwis can bond well in camp and give the Four Nations a shake later in the year. That will make up for the disappointment of the Warriors 2009 campaign, and build momentum for their 2010 effort.

Panthers

The Warriors are Panther hunters
So the Panthers better watch their backs
Nothing’s gonna save the Panthers
When a Warrior attacks

The Warriors have set an ambush
Common sense is what a panther lacks
They better run in the other direction
When a Warrior attacks

When the Warriors attack the Panthers start to run
But there’s no escaping now the hunt has begun
Run little pussy cat, run as fast as you can
Cause every Warrior is a Panther hunting man

The Warriors are mighty hunters
Following the Panther’s tracks
It’s vicious and exciting
When a Warrior attacks

Gold Coast Titans Song

Aussie Warriors Fan — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:16:13 +0000

The Warriors aren’t having the best of seasons, right? I have decided to soldier on and keep writing positive songs in an attempt to raise the morale of New Zealand Warriors fans. I don’t know what good it’s going to do but….at least it makes me feel better. I wrote this song before the Warriors went down to the Gold Coast Titans yesterday. I watched the game down at the pub at midday (Aussie time), and then walked down the road to watch my local Group 2 team thrash our neighbours 92 – 4. That pepped me up a bit.

Titans

The Warriors feel like fightin’
The Warriors feel like smashin’ a Titan
The Warriors are on a roll
Score another try and kick another goal

The Warriors are ignitin’
The Warriors feel like beatin’ a Titan
The Warriors don’t ask why
They take the ball and score another try

Look up at the scoreboard
The Warriors are in the lead
The Titans walk into our ambush
The Warriors will make them bleed

The Warriors are excitin’
The Warriors feel like crushin’ a Titan
The Warriors won’t retreat
The Titans prepare for certain defeat

St George Illawarra Dragons Song

Aussie Warriors Fan — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 03:05:02 +0000

The Warriors face a really tough challenge today….the mighty St George Illawarra Dragons are sitting on top of the NRL ladder and have been the team performing most consistently all season. Nathan Fien makes his return to Mount Smart Stadium dressed in red and white for the first time. I hope everything works out well for Nathan…..well, I hope he loses today but still manages to enjoy a long successful career! I have written a song about ‘flying lizards’ to commemorate todays battle between the awesome New Zealand Warriors and the Dragons. Watch the clip below (if you want to!).

Dragons

The Warriors are giant men
Hitting the line again and again
Relentless like a blinding blizzard
A Dragon on the other hand…
is just a flying lizard

The Warriors are fast and hard
All tattooed skin and battle scarred
Accustomed to defying death
A Dragon on the other hand…
just has fiery breath

The battle lines have been drawn
So ring the bell and sound the horn
The Warriors are awesome players
A ruthless bunch of dragon slayers

The Warriors are back in black
An endless wave of ferocious attack
They’ll do their job and leave no doubt
The Dragons on the other hand…
are nothing to worry about
