    Only if the Warriors sign more backs who crab run and hate tackling, and forwards with no grunt. Otherwise, what's the point? Also, Kearney deserves kudos. Any bloke who can keep getting top level gigs despite an utterly shit percentage winning record, must have deadly pics of someone up high.

      For my sins, i support some deadshit teams in various sports. Over the years i have suffered through some absolute dross from the Chiefs; Bay of Plenty; Liverpool; the Brisbane Lions; the Cairns Taipans; the Denver Broncos... Some fleeting highs, a lot of loooong lows.

      But no side has fucked me off like the Warriors. These dysfunctional motherfuckers are rubbish every single fucking year, for the same fucking reasons. Every second year we get talked up, on the back of signing another kiwi star player. And every time we fucking suck, and that former superstar ends up being a bit shit.

      I have heard rumours of Tohu Harris and Adam Blair. Well, that's the kiwis well and truly fucked now isn't it?

      I'm beyond blaming Kearney, because we look the same under every coach. It can't be the players fault, because the roster changes, the same old problems persist.

      Seriously, is Mt Smart built on an ancient burial ground? I can't think of another reason for a club to suck under so many different iterations for such a sustained period of time. Do you know how many clubs have won a comp since the Warriors entered? Fucking 12, that's how many. We've only made the finals 7 times. Jesus.

        Aussie scribes don't hold back, calling for "unwatchable" Warriors to be axed from NRL.

          while both those mouthy fucks have very serious agendas, they are not entirely wrong. At least, they wouldn't be if the Wests Tigers didn't exist, who are probably as bad as us, and are more fucked as an organisation.

              @mimic at least the Knights players put in a shift every week, they just lack talent, and i think are broke after Tinkler and "supercoach" Bennett fucked them.

                Did you guys see that open letter to the Warriors on Stuff Nation? (Unlike most other stuff, this was very articulate and reasoned.) It had that very point, that one super annoying thing about the Warriors players, is that every week is dial in. After a game, where they have repeatedly insulted the RL gods, they shrug and grin and play on their phones.

                Man that would be great, earning piles of money to be really shit at your job. And Shaun Johnson a million $ player? LOL.

                  Didn't Graham Henry work as a consultant for a short period?

                  You have to wonder how deep seated the issues go if no matter what they change, the results remain the same.

                  They manage to attract decent talent, but then that talent goes to shit.

                  I pretty much gave up on the Warriors (and league to a large extent) about 10 or so years back.

                  I follow Northland, that's enough heart shredding this man can handle!

                      It's Origin season (so i guess the Warriors might nick a win or two over the next few weeks)

                      Queensland name first, no Inglis (mental health), no Scott (gone for season), JT only the slightest of maybes, and Slater omitted. Also no Valentine Holmes, which is astounding.

                      Somehow Nate Myles got picked again.

                      Boyd, Oates, O'Neil, Chambers, Gagai, Milford, Cronk, Napa, Smith, Myles, Papalii, Gillett, McGuire. Morgan, Thaiday, Guerra, Lillyman. JT 18th man on a hope.

                        Mark Gasnier is a fucking retard. Apparently Shaun Johnson is a "victim" of the Warriors. Wake up Mark, milion dollar halfbacks of shit teams take huge amounts of responsibility for them being shit. Learn to kick and make good plays to help out your forwards you fuck, or at least run the ball and use your only real talent.

                            "According to reports NSW is set to overlook red-hot Dragons front-rower Paul Vaughan and will stick with a front-row rotation of David Klemmer, Aaron Woods and Andrew Fifita.

                            — James Tedesco at Fullback
                            — Blake Ferguson and Daniel Tupou on the wings
                            — Jarryd Hayne and Josh Dugan in the centres

                              @Sneakdefreak i saw that proposed team, and on paper it shits all over Queensland. Surely NSW will win this year, which will fuck Paul Gallen off no end.

                                As long as Peats is picked over Wallace and Farah. NSW needs to move to the new generation because Queensland's next wave of talent won't be as awesome as their current batch.

                                  @Sneakdefreak Farah getting picked at 9 pretty much hands the series to Queensland, he's that bad.

                                      @Chris-B. they are fucking kidding themselves with those prices. Who would be seen dead in that shit? Surely no one hates themselves that much.

                                      And i was scrolling, chortling to myself, i come across the 20 Year DVD set. 20 games from 20 years, with bonus of 10 play-off games (i assume that is all of them). On sale for only $40!! Who the fuck would buy that? Looking back at NRL games where we were actual NRL standard would only make the current situation look that much worse.

                                        @mariner4life They've got just about everything you can think of for sale. If you can slap a Warriors' logo on it, they're selling it.

                                        The "Warriors Chef's Candle" - stinks the place up?

                                        Warriors comforter blanket - they should be doing a roaring trade!

                                        Warriors Teddy Bear and Warriors Monkey....actual team members?

                                          @Chris-B. they are fucking kidding themselves with those prices. Who would be seen dead in that shit? Surely no one hates themselves that much.

                                          And i was scrolling, chortling to myself, i come across the 20 Year DVD set. 20 games from 20 years, with bonus of 10 play-off games (i assume that is all of them). On sale for only $40!! Who the fuck would buy that? Looking back at NRL games where we were actual NRL standard would only make the current situation look that much worse.

                                          I grew up in South Auckland and it's amazing how staunch that fanbase is. Great fans that deserve a lot better. It's a matter of faith.
