2008 we made the run from 8th but fell one game short of the GF (beat Storm, beat Roosters and lost to Manly)

So if the Warriors lose this Saturdee it'll be back to 'they' ?

Sounds like they had a good time. Got to be smart enough to do it out of the public eye.

And the award for biggest non-story of the year goes to...
There is no "out of the public eye" when the papers are sending people out to actively find them. They tried it the other year behind closed doors at Belmore and the TV station camped outside with cameras and had a helicopter circling above.
Fucking parasites

@mariner4life Harbourview Hotel is hardly the most private venue though - heck it's in full view of all BridgeClimb customers returning from their climb.

why can't the boys, now in their off-season, go have a big session at the pub? Like pretty much anyone else?

@mariner4life because their antics end up on the front page. Just like how the Chiefs antics (at a pub) ended up in the news. Whilst the media did camp outside a closed door venue the footage was bloody tame compared to this.

@mariner4life Fair enough - that was pretty diplomatic for Oz!

If it's just on the outer then I fear that our new coaching setup will be as idiotic as our last lot. We need experience in the halves for when Johnson gets injured or held back by the Warriors. Good to see Bromwich back though.
I thought Moses Suli was Australian-Tongan? Does he have a NZ parent?
Sosaia Feki obviously didn't get the memo that Tongan-NZers don't play for the Kiwis anymore. Either that or he'll wait until the day of the match before pulling out.

@nepia McGuire is building towards the next RLWC and Benji is retiring next season so no point in using him.

That's a piss poor excuse and one that the previous coaching group made even though he played through their whole reign of mediocrity. Adam Blair isn't going to make the next RLWC, neither is Issac Luke.
Fuck NZ league (Warriors and Kiwis
) annoys me some times. -
Benji isn't playing so great that he just walks in to the team

I'm not saying that at all - this is a wider training squad. We have three halves total. We never get our full selected squad ever so it's likely one of our halves wont make it.
I'm not even saying I'd select him. But to exclude him full stop, and for the reason @Sneakdefreak has mentioned just seems silly. I can see the Kiwis starting another test with Harris in the halves.

I'm ok with Marshall returning but sometimes it's best to move on. Te Maire Martin will be the starting standoff anyway.

He'll have to play half when Johnson and Nikorima injure themselves in the finals series. Then Harris at stand off again ...

@nepia Jahrome Hughes is also in the mix - he's the starting halfback for the Melbourne Storm.
