        Fuck me, this is awful.

        Does anyone who goes to Mt Smart know why there are empty seats in the sell outs? Is it due to corporate box reserved seats and the fans just stay in the box? Or long lines for beer?

          Did these fluffybunnies meet in the car park? SJ should not play again this season. He's supposed to be in charge out there.

          This was gutless and the club should be ashamed.

                  This is why I prefer rugby. For all the hype, the Warriors just don’t have systems in place to ensure they consistently perform at a high standard. Have to say the attack this year has been an issue.

                      I dont think the sell out crowds are all about the Warriors.

                      The NRL is a $700 million a year comp and every two weeks a high quality Australian NRL team comes to town.

                      You cant say this about Super rugby, most of the Australian rugby union teams who cross the ditch are crap.

                      The Wallabies and ABs are high quality. Dunno what SR is worth, but cant be much more than $100 mil.

                      You get what you pay for...

                      And I didn't even mention the real pro sports juggernaut in this part of the world - Australian football (AFL) - $1000 millon annual revenue!

                        Sell out crowd in Perth tonight.

                        Long time since the Force got anywhere near that.

                        Great game too!

                            Agreed it’s a fab competition. The marketing and promotion are top notch. The Warriors sell out crowds are part that, part one NZ team, but high this year because last year was a breakout season. But inconsistency has returned this year…so start of next year will be interesting.

                              When Shaun Johnson is effective he digs into the line with his runs. When he is not he runs across field early and passes too far behind the line. We have seen more of the latter this this year. The effectiveness of Nikore’s runs in particular are reduced.

                              Warriors just not doing the basics well - 6th play has been rubbish.

                              SJ was much more effective with running game in 2nd half. But he can’t just wait until defences are tired, because the game might be over, as it was tonight.

                                Very little of note happened this weekend.

                                Except lol at the Broncos.
                                St George probably got themselves a finals spot with a win in Melbourne. But there is still only a game in it.
                                Penrith have won 4 straight and are a close to the minor premiership now. Four in a row incoming.

                                    He's had his ups and downs, but he's done some unreal shit in a warriors jersey, and was 100% of a Daly M last year

                                      In hindsight he probably should have retired on a high last year. Unfortunately few athletes get to go out on top on their own terms

                                        Imagine finishing last year that would have been great! Outstanding contribution over the years to the warriors and NZ.
                                        Would have been great to have seen an inform SJ this year, sadly not to be.
                                        All the best to him

                                          Look to be a Warriors supporter you have to be a little crazy, a little insane even, have cups of concrete close by when certain Aussie commentators and social media tee off or we are the but of all jokes, be accepting that the world (the reffing and TMO world) are against us, and live with one newspaper article a season outside of Auckland.

                                          This never gets old though in a cringey Aussie sort of way…
