@Sneakdefreak that's the least "Wayne Bennett" halves pairing i could think of

Sneakdefreak

Warriors name Roger Tuivasa-Sheck captain for the 2017 season. Oh yeah, and the Warriors sign some unknown called Tohu Harris for 2018.

Tohu you dumb ass ... should have stayed in Melbourne (or any other Aussie club).

mariner4life

jesus fuck!! the kiwis are proper fucked now.

Tohu Harris will be another in the long line of players who look great at melbourne, and complete shit house anywhere they don't have Smith and Cronk running Bellamy's game plan

So, the Warriors have named a fullback as captain. A fullback coming off a looong injury break.

Shitballs, I don't recall reading anything about Tohu potentially coming here. Usually that sort of signing is flagged in the media well before it happens.
Good signing.

Bovidae

@Gunner This signing was definitely suggested in the media.

@Bovidae Probably got lost in all the usual "Kiwi born player to sign with Warriors" stories that come out when someone is wanting to upgrade their current contract i.e Steve Matai, Alex Glenn.

Todd Greenberg says NRL Nines 'has a massive future' but maybe not in Auckland

taniwharugby

uh oh, I can see empty seats at the 9s, does that mean the honeymoon is over...

Sneakdefreak

Panthers look the team to beat, Warriors playing right now against Manly. SJ looks like he might not play the tournament - has a groin injury.

Sneakdefreak

4-4 at halftime. No idea who Sam Cook is but will have to look him up before I do the season preview.

Sneakdefreak

Kata also out with a virus.

Sneakdefreak

Lolohea/Ayshford combo does it - Warriors score to make it 11-8.

taniwharugby

whats the bonus point try about?

Sneakdefreak

Sea Eagles win 15-11. Mason Lino nearly wins it at the death but drops the pill. Oh well.

Sneakdefreak

@taniwharugby Score under the posts you get extra points.

Dice

Not as potent without Johnson and Kata.

Nice to see Isaiah Papalii out there. Very good prospect.

Sneakdefreak

@Dice Doubt they'll make the 9s playoffs tbh, but the NRL season is the main goal so let it be.

taniwharugby

some woeful defending so far in Warriors next game, missing SJ in attack

mariner4life

And in the world's least surprising development, the Warriors turn up to a league game looking unfit and un-coached.

Hey Tui, why don't you run guys out of space some more
