It doesn't help that the International board has no teeth, they can't do anything to stop poaching.
I would like to see a system where kids declare what nations they are eligible to represent at 18. If you want to play for another country via residency, the teams you were eligible for at 18 would need to waive their rights to you.
Big game tonight, any chance we could pull of a miracle?
We tend to save the miracles for huge finals. I think we have an ok side, but we will always be underdogs, especially for an ANZAC test. I'm gonna say no
Composure. Or lack of it has cost us.
Benji has had a stinker 2nd half.
Luck retiring at the end of the season.

Will be sad to see him go, but I think there is enough depth in the club to fill the void.

Was very disappointed by this, our best player for many years, I think he will be missed actually. Our winning % is horrible without him
Unbeaten Storm tonight. Let me say I am slightly scared
Warriors have one of the best records against the Storm, but I just can't see them winning tonight. Hoping they keep it close, but this could easily be a blow out.
I think there are two scenarios: a close win, or a blowout loss. I'm quietly confident, but have no real idea why
Locke hurt again? Just got home from work to see the 2nd half.
Warrior's sign Dane Nielsen for 3 years

But look set to lose Omar Slaimankhel

Good news that we have signed a centre, it has been a problem area for ages. Hurrell looks good, but needs a bit more time to find his feet. How long is Ropati got left on his contract?
Would be a shame to lose Omar, but there are some road blocks in front of him to play first grade with the Warriors.
Would be a shame to loose him but we can't keep every one.
Awesome news that we have signed a decent center
Fish back for another chance at FB, I hope he takes the chance this time. It would be nice to avoid having to bring Locke back until he is 100% fit.
I'm still not on the Fish bandwagon 100%, very much a one-way player, don't want 3 defensive liabilities in the back 3. But as much as I love Inu, he's not gonna get the fullback job. So the Fish it is

Disagree, Tupou is a safe runner but he can't defuse a bomb or tackle to save his life. Not exactly electric either... keep him on the wing for now
Must say well done mods on this active topics as I never knew this thread existed
Tupou along with kemp are the worst wingers to ever play for the warriors
Auckland will rise once more
Inu released from the Warriors, and signs a 3 1/2 year contract with the Doggies.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/6977940/Krisnan-Inu-leaving-Warriors-for-Bulldogs
Disappointed in the news, but that's a massive contract.... surely he's a 1year deal guy
Krisnan must be impossible to coach. If neither Cleary or McClennan could get through to him, as well as the influential players around him, then I say good luck to him and see ya. The Warriors certainly don't need him.
Fuck this stupid game
2 tries, 1 assist and 3 goals for Inu on his Doggies debut. Will letting him go come back to haunt the Warriors?
My answer there is no. He just doesn't fit in with the warriors. You can see they had personality clashes.
Big game today against the storm. Hope its a good game
Bit of luck with the try for Konrad, we need all the luck we can get
Great start from the Warriors. Mara is having a good game, he provides so much more go forward than Friend.
Ffs manu, don't throw the ball inside to no one. Just cut inside and take the tackle. Might be time to drop him?
Do we not know how to grubber into the ingoal? Waaaaaaaaaay too many bombs.
Drop him. He is to much of a liablity. 2 weeks in a row he has cost us
Gutted. Sets up game three well though, will be epic. NSW with their tails up but QLD at home...
Fuck this stupid game
Random shot in the dark, but does anyone know any way that I could get tickets for Origin 3? I know it's all sold out, I'm wondering if anyone knows any sneaky ways of getting tickets, or if anyone knows someone who might know someone who might know someone. Any help would be much appreciated!
Slaimankhel has been called up to replace Manu. Hope he has a good debut and the Warriors find a way to keep him for the future.
