In Kiwis news, Mr "The Key is the We" has decided not to reapply for the head coach position. Good decision.

Not his fault that he was chosen despite not being up to it. Now some of our guys like playing for Tonga so much they will stay away. The board who appointed him should leave too

Shaun Johnson to return to the Warriors line up for the double-header clash at Mt Smart on Saturday night (Wests V Storm, Warriors V Cowboys). Also returning to the line up is Simon Mannering who will start from the bench (but I think that bench will change come kick off).

It's strange seeing the Warriors near the front of the sports news on TV these days. For the last few years, they've been pushed right to the back, even behind some of the really small sports that barely anyone follows.
League in NZ really needed this by the Warriors after what went down last year. It seemed like the sport was on a long road to recovery not too long ago.

@gunner I'm astonished that's note worthy. It was the first lesson I can remember joining the military; you fuck up, everyone else suffers. Small wonder the club was a laughing stock last year.

@antipodean in an age where the players have the power, at least more so than they used to, it does come as a surprise that this type of thing still goes on in a professional sport. Happy that it does but I can see the Eels team all being seen to early grave having to account for the lack of effort Hayne was putting in preseason.

If anyone is wanting to join the bandwagon, move quick coz the wagon is filling fast.
Tonight’s double header at Mt Smart is going to be a sell out. Over 22,000 tickets sold already.
That's a bloody great result. I don't follow much league any more, but amazing how people come out of the woodwork when there is League success, and a shambles over at Eden Park. Good for teh Warriors, adn I hope they do well tonight

Looks like Carlaw park back in the day.

5 on the trott, fucking outrageous. This is a very different Warriors side this year, they were still pumping in the final 10 there - a NQ comeback was never really on the cards. Good shit.

That’s 5 bitches

If there is a concern , fuck they are peaking early , finish line is a long way away, can they keep this going ?

Hopefully they have a good run during State of Origin.

We never looked in danger, but old habits die hard so I was waiting for a warriors surrender that never came. In person our wingers are massive and run the ball up like forwards. We look super solid all over the park, now if we can reduce Adam Blair's errors and penalties we'll be even more dangerous. Great atmosphere at Mt Smart on a clear night as the crowd fed off the team, at times the din was amazing. 100x more raucous and fun than your average Eden Park crowd
