New Zealand Warriors Fan Site

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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…)

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 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.

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!
