Great to be back in the winners circle! Barnett surely secured a ticket to NSW camp. Really missed the mongrel that an in form Jazz ca bring; him standing over poleaxed ball runners gets me FIZZED.
Dolphins won't be a cake walk but if we can build momentum with another win, our season could be...
Looks like everyone’s PTSD is kicking in! How’s it feel!! I felt like someone had gut punched grandma as I was leaving Mt Smart 😂
The Titans were bottom of the ladder but they have been improving every week at a great rate and coming into this game I knew it would be a battle. Even took Titans...
Something that has been bothering me this year when compared to last is that the introduction of Capewell has reduced our right side threat. We would start with hard runners Barnett or Niukore and sub in hard runner Curran or even Sironen. Capewell doesn’t present that same threat; it’s not his...
Where's the fun in that ;)
I agree Tuaupiki's not currently the bees knees but it's easy to lose sight that he's only started 5 games of a first grade. Webby's approach to new players seems to be to simplify their role then slowly add more responsibility over time. I think the Berrysiah is a...
In 2023 season:
Metcalf appeared 12 times with a win percent of 83% and 6 tries, 3 try assists
Martin appeared 9 times with a win percent of 44%, 0 tries, 2 try assists
Metcalf has featured in 20 first grade games in total
Martin has appeared 78 first grade games in total
I personally think...
First hit out of the year with some great highs and an otherwise average 2nd half. I'm not concerned at all. Both left and right edges are building their combinations and timing. This was Metcalf's first game of first grade since August 2023. Lussick will continue to develop and learn from...
This is the serious answer. It's turned into a bit of a meme (thanks Kearney) but you become and maintain success by focusing on and improving your process of winning, not by focusing on the outcome of winning itself.
Earlier in the year on a late Thursday evening in April, I was knee deep in Waikato draft at the local sports bar. One of the boys tapped me on the shoulder and showed me his phone; it was a news article stating that RTS had re-signed with the Warriors.
I drunkenly messaged all the boys chats...
With the game's talent being more distributed due to the Dolphins and our roster remaining largely unchanged I think we can hit a Top 4 again. I agree with the sentiment that opposing teams will be more wary of our squad heading into the next year but I'm optimistic that we can do some great...
