I just want to say that that was one brilliant game of league. It really put to rest any question over which sport is better, league or rugby - rugby's so boring! League is a fast game and good to watch, that's why it's my favourite sport (football is better, but football isn't a sport, it's an art).
I think the warriors will make the top four.loyalgunner2007-08-07 05:33:47
GO THE WARRIORS
Yeah - The Warriors have $30 for 2 adults + 3 kids discount and
Auckland didnt?
Also, I don't think Crockett can be all to blame. Ropati, Swann, Witt all get sucked in and leave Crockett with a 2 on 1 or even 3 on 1 situation. He is a bit small compared to other wingers too.
I'm in favour of starting Wairangi Koopu instead of Swann and I think Patrick Ah Van deserves more game time.
Yeah like the referee on Saturday who said in a football match he
was still playing advantage - think he's been watching too much
rugby.
Bad decisions are part of sport, you've just got to take it on the
chin. Well I've watched enough games to think this poor referring
is just part of the game.

I dunno it depends i mean id watch NRL over NPC any day but when it
comes down to the WC knockout stages and the AB's are on i'd choose
that over the NRL.
League over union anytime
Wont be watching the Union WC, will be watching the warriors win the title.GO THE WARRIORS
If the AB's were playing Aus in the world cup final I'd still watch
the warriors over them anyday. By the way, where is the League
world cup being hosted? I heard that it was going to be co-hosted
by NZ and aus, but I'm not sure if that's
true.loyalgunner2007-08-07 16:48:23
pretty sure its downunder. must be the 1st time since '88.
Warriors vs Titans this weekend..feel another thumping comin thew oppositions way
some big raps coming the Warriors way from some Aussies. eg Sterlo, Roach, Fitler etc
Hope to see u fullas at the ring of fire this fri nite vs Newcastle!

Sadly I won't be at the Nix game, but I will be taking my usual
seat at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night to see the Titans get a
hammering. One of the few joys of living up here is having a
Warriors season ticket.
I'm beginning to join the 'league is better than rugby' side as
well.
Although I enjoy watching both Rugby Union and League on the whole
I prefer watching League, except for when Northland is playing
rugby...but thats only because they are my province, nothing to do
with the sport.
As a Kiwi born-and-bred Victory supporter waiting for the A-League
to start I am enjoying the NRL immensely.
In fact, I am surprised to find that despite childhood
indocrination - I can well remember when NZ league was a joke - NRL
seems these days to be almost entirely preferable to union.
The last Super season was pretty dire; none of the union Tests
since then have really sparkled the same way the Warriors/Roosters
game did; the ABs, it seems, may have peaked too soon for the World
Cup; union admin seems inept by comparison ( in Oz anyway).
Who'd thunk it?
Go Storm!
Go Victory!
These Warriors are far better.
Baseball Furies Rule!!
I second that.
THE CHICKS ARE PACKED!!!
Just back from the game. Another great win, but the Titans were
s**t. Crowd of 20,000, where were all those b******s when we were
in the slump a couple of months ago? Funny watching all the
'first-timers' trying to find their seats.
Yeah, considering how many mistakes the Warriors made, the Titans
were awful.
Still if you can rack up 30 points playing poorly wait until it comes back together in a weeks time.

very good win and well done to all 20,000 there
Yea sweet well take the points any day of the week regardless of
how we won itand the crowd was awesome, looked pretty
packed...thought Todd Burne (who i usually give a bit of stick)
stepped up. credit when its due. forwards were awesome.
great first 20 by thw Warriors. If the Titans didnt butcher about 3 or 4 genuine try scoring opportunities, it could have been different.
Thought we got a bit complacent after that 18-0 lead and a few frustrating errors crept in.
hoping cowboys lose tomorrow nite at Penrith (they have a crap record in Sydney).
Also made some ground on Parramatta, who have the Storm away next week. Eyeing up 3rd possie...bring on Manly in a couple of weeks...

20000 at the Warriors game and only 13000 at Eden Park for the
rugby. There's a message in there, I think!
Yeah - The Warriors have $30 for 2 adults + 3 kids discount and

Yup. Get a decent 'product' on the park, set your prices to
encourage people to come along and you'll get the crowds rolling
in. Hopefully, the 'Nix will be working along those lines.
Did anyone see Sonny Bill's performance yesterday?? I have been a
Raiders fan since about 1991 when they lost to Penrith in the
Final...but yesterday Sonny Bill almost beat the Raiders by
himself. He is such an incredible athlete and so
skillful...hopefully he can stay injury-free and keep putting those
performances on. It was a shame the Warriors missed out on signing
him last year...but thats the salary cap...
Yeah Sonny Bill is the man the hits he puts in are just incredible.
I love League but find Union the most boring game in the world.
It's interesting that so many other football fans feel the same
way. It amazes me that a game as boring and slow as Union can be
more popular among the general population than League.
i missed the game against the Titans, but try and get to most of the games at Mt Smart. siac2007-08-14 01:12:34

I think that you'll find League is more popular than Union at the
moment, just switch on Radio sport and you'll hear that people and
being put off by Union.
Maybe it's the overexposure, the low quality of play at Air NZ Cup level. I still like Rugby and occasionally watch it but League takes preference.
In comparison between the two. Rugby can't match the crash and bash entertaining style of league. Big Hits, big collisions, multiple off loads and the need to kick or throw the ball around on the last. But, I think scrums are a waste of time, the video refs are horrible, and forward passes happen too much.

Scrums in both Union and League are pointless in my opinion.
Scrums in rugby are boring and are one of the things that makes it
such a slow game. At least in League they are over with
quickly.
Because scrums in League are almost never won against the feed, or used for a push over try, it may seem to make sense to get rid of them but I think they serve one purpose; bringing all the forwards together into a small area which can then create attacking opportunities once the ball is released from the scrum.
Mind you, I've never played either game so I'm hardly an expert :)

Raiders 26-24 Warriors, they got 3 trys down the left flank as a result of michael 'i am going 2 prison' crockett, he needs to get the axe, if the warriors are to get anywhere thet must defeat lower teams like the raiders, no wade disrupts the whole set-up, get him back and send crockett off 2 prison where he will realy learn how to defend, also why is it the last 3 games the warriors have played in aussie they have got no penatlies in the 2nd half? we would have been clear 4th but now are 6th
Turning point was again a very bad referee decision
Its been a close round in the NRL.
Shame the Worryers didnt win.
Around the 68th minute rapira charges down a kick and regathers it
and is tackled, while on the ground the raiders fullback punches
the ball out, i remember simon mannering being sin binned for doing
the same against the roosters, why wasn't this at the very
least a knock on against the raiders, if the maxwell remembered
there was another team on the field then it should have been a
penetly to us

Also, I don't think Crockett can be all to blame. Ropati, Swann, Witt all get sucked in and leave Crockett with a 2 on 1 or even 3 on 1 situation. He is a bit small compared to other wingers too.
I'm in favour of starting Wairangi Koopu instead of Swann and I think Patrick Ah Van deserves more game time.

Agreed wai is much quicker than logan due to his days as a centre,
patty ah van needs 2 be back in for crockett, its a shame the
warriors have played the knights twice as they are getting pumped
by penrith 46-6, frank pritchard hatrick outstanding

Great game.
Pity about the "I'll go along 'cos they're winning" muppets doing the Mexican wave .
Good fun trying to get out of the car park quickly to race home and see the 'Nix game. Hope the Dragons can do us a favour tomorrow by giving the Eels a pasting.

Great result great performance from the whole team yesterday even
if it was an understrength Manly side.
Bring on a home semi!!!

The Nix played Melbourne mate, i think you have the wrong thread.
