Not just us forumers are excited about the new season apparently

You might have heard the 3 headed Taniwha referring to the government.
My 3 headed Tani-Wahs for the 2024 season. SJ to lead the team, AFB to take the forwards forward & DWZ to score another 24 tries.

Be interesting to see the final membership numbers this season. All the corporate opportunities have gone.

Yeah we tried to book the 36 seat suite at cbus for the titans game but blardy robbo had already snapped it up.

League Unlimited claims to track membership numbers, but neither they or the NRL have posted Warriors membership stats for a few years. It can be sketchy territory anyway, because 'member' covers a range of different packages, not just season pass holders. Last year, Cameron George said in a radio interview in the lead-up to the Knights playoff something like 'if every Warriors fan bought three tickets we'd still only have sold about 20000'. (He was trying to allay fears that there'd be none left after the pre-sales.) That suggests around 6-6500. They're currently saying the first game is half-sold, so what'd that be?: about 10,000 season passes with another 2000 or so single game tickets?

I would be very cautious about anything coming out of RNZ, they have a record of poorly researched stories in recent times.

It's interesting when comparing it to the Doggies or Sharkies jersey's.

Posted in the Halbergs awards thread but is relevant in here too.
Warriors won the sporting moment of the year awards. Decided by fans. Good to see the huge support from last season is still around.

Warriors win Sporting Moment

Another huge accolade for One New Zealand Warriors winning Favourite Sporting Moment.

Why does he have to be a "junior warrior" ? Can't he just be a dick head who did dick head things?

Always throwing mud on our club

‘Hit me real hard’: Warriors ditch original drummers weeks before season

After 28 years, Mt Smart will have new 'game day entertainment'.

www.nzherald.co.nz

Very surprised by this. I am not an expert on game day experience at Mt Smart having only been once - but this seems a very, very odd decision given how iconic the drummers are to the Warriors club (and that is from a fan not based in Auckland). Sure, heaps of other clubs have dance troupes at their game day experience, but we are not other clubs.
For mine, this is the first disappointing decision out of the club for some time...

 

[SJ2k]

I was at the CHCH game, was fantastic but I definitely missed the drums from mt smart.

 

[jonesy101]

Really sad. Hopefully they get enough feedback to reinstate them, even if its just for the themed rounds like the heritage round. 28 years of tradition shouldn't go with just over 3 months notice and that "signature" comment makes it all the more odd. I think there is room for both if they want to have some dance troupe.

 

[Billyspleen75]

I'll reserve judgement till after round 1 and see if A - I enjoy the 2024 entertainment B - miss having the drummers.
