The 2018 NRL preview of the Warriors

Warriors win the trial match against Melbourne 20-14. Only thing to really take away is that Solomone Kata hasn't tried to change his game at all in the offseason.

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say we will finish outside the 8.....

As predictable as stating it's the fittest squad that they've ever had, etc

In a welcome change of pace, pretty much every Aussie commentator is picking us for the spoon. They have finally woken up to the fact that we are, indeed, really shit, not some dark horse waiting shock the comp.
Perhaps this will also be the year that they stop lazily calling the Warriors a "flair" team. We haven't been that in 10 years.
Can someone explain to me how the fuck the Roosters are under the cap?

The players are all buying into success and leaving a legacy for a club they love rather than debasing themselves by trying to earn more than their limited education and modest upbringing prepared them for?

ah yes, the old "everyone is playing for unders" gambit.
Tedesco, Ferguson, Tupou, Mitchell, Keary, Cronk, Cordner, Napa, Friend, JWH all playing for unders...

@mariner4life This is proof that handing out participation awards works.

A legend at Belmore. They'll be mourning there.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck signs with Warriors for another four years, stopping the rumours once and for all. Great news and probably confirms that RTS is the franchise player now, not Shaun Johnson.
[BREAKING NEWS ] Tuivasa-Sheck signed for four years

Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has reinforced his commitment to the Vodafone Warriors by signing one of the longest deals in the club’s history.

@sneakdefreak Great news. There is an edge to RTS that I have never seen from Johnson.
I wonder how much the Warriors threw at him with his fake AB's switch talks?

@jegga Man that's sad. So young.
Yeah , 59 is no age . Any idea why he gave up coaching so young? I expected him to become someone like Wayne Bennett.

The lack of noise on here about RTSs re-signing I think sadly reflects the general public’s feeling towards the Warriors at the moment.
No one really gives a rats as we’re all sick of the hype and no substance.A couple of years ago it would have generated a lot more chat and excitement I'm sure.
Good on them for getting his signature though, but I imagine they’d have had to paid overs to get it.
Brave move from him.
A meme I saw on Facebook sums it up nicely with something like ‘You mean I won’t have to play in September, really? Where do I sign’’. -
The RTS news hides a bit of news the Warriors didn't want to promote: Ata Hingano, mentioned in my preview, has been granted a release from the club (via Newshub).
