The new owners of the Warriors are wasting no time in making their presence felt, announcing the imminent culling of the club's U-20 team.
Just a day after declaring they'd be making no "radical changes" following the formal acceptance of their ownership bid, Auckland Rugby League Chairman Cameron McGregor told Newshub there are plans to withdraw the side from the Jersey Flegg Cup, formerly known as the NYC Cup.
McGregor said the ARL's long-term plan to retain local talent is to ensure that it's bred through Auckland's Fox Memorial competition, rather than the fledgling age-group league based out of Australia.

That's about as smart as Netball NZ withdrawing from the ANZ Cup

@bovidae Why not do both? All Warriors prospects play Fox Memorial and the Warriors can rotate their roster in the Jersey Flegg every week to see how certain players match up against other teams.
This move is obviously designed to strengthen the Auckland comp, not necessarily improve the depth of players in NZ.
If you were a young player from Chch having to move to Auckland or Sydney is not too different. In the end, it will come down to money and providing the best opportunity to develop as a player.

@sneakdefreak happy that the Yanks didn't get the club but disappointing that Jim Doyle is moving on from the Warriors. Would have been great if they had been able to keep him on.
Is he definitely moving on? Maybe the new owners will reappoint him?
I have never heard of Autex before.

You're obviously a young whippersnapper.
Autex were around in the days of Filipaina, Kemble, Sorenson(s), Tamati(s), Hudson and the like

I remember all of those players well, aside from Hudson - never heard of him. So clearly Autex didn't achieve the long term brand awareness in the 80s from thier sponsorship of league.

Some old fashioned Warriors discipline has cost the Warriors a try.
Blair gives away a real soft penalty on the Tigers 5th tackle (some good Tigers acting helped), then couple more piles the pressure on and they can’t cope.
Fucking dick move Adam.
10-4
