New Zealand Warriors Fan Site

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!!

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?

This preview of round 3 of the National Rugby League competition was uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday the 25th of March. I made a very bold prediction regarding Denan Kemp and the scoring of two tries. I haven’t watched the game yet but I know he didn’t score, but oh well, never mind. I picked all of the home teams for the round 3 games and if Manly beat Penrith tomorrow night (fingers crossed) I’ll end up with 6 out of 8. Not bad!

Episode 9 of the Aussie Warriors Fan Show just happened to be the round 2 review instalment. I tried to put a positive spin on the fact I only picked 5 out of 8 winners with my tips. I was over the moon about the Warriors beating Manly at Brookvale and revealed my long awaited top 5 players for the round.

This preview of round 2 of the National Rugby League competition was uploaded to YouTube on Thursday the 19th of March (I can’t believe that was only 10 days ago). I made my fearless footy tips and thanked my newest YouTube subscribers. I predicted a tight contest between the Warriors and the Sea Eagles and, once again, I was right.
