    @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?

      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.

        That clearance page is fantastic! Fire sale!

        I assume the iPhone screen protectors is to help prevent the screen from breaking when you can chuck it against the wall?

          NSW team for Origin: James Tedesco, Blake Ferguson, Josh Dugan, Jarryd Hayne, Brett Morris, James Maloney, Mitchell Pearce, Aaron Woods, Nathan Peats, Andrew Fifita, Josh Jackson, Boyd Cordner (c), Tyson Frizell. Bench: David Klemmer, Wade Graham, Jake Trbojevic, Jack Bird.

          That's a better side than Queensland. NSW to win Game Uno.

                    That Queensland team is stacked. You know your team's good when there's no space for Billy the kid. Overwhelming favourites.. 10 wins in 11 years?
                    Dunno how u guys can claw for underdog status..

                      We should all get jobs for the Warriors. Phone in any old rubbish and you still get picked week after week. Never mind this upskilling nonsense. You might even pick up a 7 figure contract while you're at it...

                              I reckon I've been every one of those fans at some stage during the 20+ years of the stupidity of being a Warriors fan.

                                (in fact, some games i am all of them inside 80 minutes)

                                      @canefan NSW Cup fullback of the year for 2016. Won't unseat RTS or even Fusitua, and I rate Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad as a better player, but not bad cover for the remainder of the season.

                                        Origin Season and suddenly the Warriors win one... (28-10 over the Broncos)

                                          A win's a win even if it's against a half-strength Broncos outfit.

                                          Some thoughts:

                                          • A good game to watch if you like smashed'em bro. Not a game to watch if you hate poor passing.
                                          • Watching it live, you realise how important Mannering is to both attack and defence. Every play he is involved.
                                          • In the first half I came to the conclusion that it's time to either trade or release Isaac Luke from the last year of his contract. He's too slow and the Warriors need speed around the ruck area to keep momentum. Roache/Tevaga combo in 2018.
                                          • Not long after I came to this conclusion, Luke does a dummy half run, makes a break and sets up Maumalo for the try.
                                          • Maumalo is also too slow.
                                          • One guy who doesn't lack speed is James Robert. But thankfully he lacks courage when under fire. Dropped the ball a few times due to pressure from the defenders. No wonder he wasn't picked for Origin.
                                          • Great try by Gavet that was set up by a rampaging Matulino. One of the Broncos forwards (Glenn?) was left hurting and couldn't get back on the goalline to stop Gavet.
                                          • Liking Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad more and more. A very smart footballer, quick, and confident when under pressure.
                                          • Saw Tui Lolohea after the game talking to David Fusitua. Seems pretty happy that he's moving on.
