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.

This was the Warriors 2nd home win in a row and on both occasions they have managed to keep their opposition scoreless. It was real tight struggle with the Knights really finding it hard to get close to Warriors tryline. The win gave me the opportunity to stick it to some Newcastle fans who had left cocky comments on my YouTube movie page. Go the Warriors!!!

The Warriors Are Coming (Knights)

Here come the Warriors
The Earth begins to quake
When our forwards run the ball
The Knights hold hands and shake

Here come the Warriors
The fire and the flood
The Knights will soon be drowning
In a river of their blood

The Warriors are coming
They’ve got ‘em in their sights
The Warriors are ready
To slay the Knights

Here come the Warriors
The thunder and the light
A neverending juggernaut
Crushing every Knight

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?

It was good to see Lewis Brown score a try today. He has really shown a lot of enthusiasm when he’s come on to the field from the bench. It was a shame for Lance Hohaia to be greeted with an 18 – 0 scoreline when he finally got a chance at dummy half. I think the time has come to bring Ian Henderson back into the fray. Two games for the Vulcans should’ve shaken any complacency out of him.

All in all, I can still see the promise of better things to come for the Warriors. I’m looking forward to seeing them smash the Knights at home next Friday night. After that they can have a rest with the bye, and then start winning a bunch of consecutive games together in order to scrape into the bottom of the Top 8! Once they’re there, anything can happen!
