General Warriors Preseason 2025

[tajhay]

Who is this guy?????

Popular streamer. Goes around to diff countries and streams.

Dont underestimate the influence of social media in 2024. Gelling did a good job of hosting him though, prob best suited person at the club for it.

He wanted to experience "Rugby" in NZ as he heard NZ was best at it - hence the Warriors experience. Atleast we scammed him on that front.

Who is this guy?????

He's a random youtuber that is somehow mega famous.

My first introduction to him was wearing the Prime bottle with Logan Paul at Wrestlemania then getting sparta-kicked and RKO'ed by Randy Orton

And the second time I saw him was first article about his tour in NZ this week, I'm just too old for his schtick I guess

Whoever that player is Speed ran over can we trade him?

I think he was the downs kid who did the haka to him, must be a mascot of sorts??? bloody hell Gello gave him a what for tackle and Dan Hooker hit him with a liver shot, fallah a bit too cheeky lol

My kids follow him. So I have to sit through all his videos. Think he has Adhd. Hypo kid. Actually a good kid with a big heart. And extremely athletic. He is very loud and can get on my nerves but i am use to his bs now lol.
Dan Hooker is a loose goose! I wondered why they let him spar with Speed? Lol. Turned out better than I expected lol

Over 33 million viewers watched his warriors stream!!!

That's insane. One live stream from Speed will get the game more exposure than all future Vegas games combined. The game is still run by old heads that will never click on to things like this.

Noticed Bishop Neal in that stream doing preseason with the club. Incredible for the 16 year old, even more incredible that he looks like one of the larger guys there...

Looks like RTS and CNK are the first guys back from international footy onto training. Good to see the two of the most senior players who people are the most critical of being the first back into it!

As long as they have had enough of a break then I'm good with it. Problem with CNK I thought was he came back injured/burnt out this season.

Good. Streamers are parasites one step below OF pornstars. We are in a Black Mirror episode and no one noticed.

According to the Searley Talks Sport podcast Freddy Lussick came first in the Bronco for the second year running.
The player who gave him the biggest challenge was Eddie Ieremia-Toeava.

Is EIT now everyone's 2nd favourite player?
I think we now refer to him as ‘The Silent Assassin’

Former Otago and Northland first five, Peter Breen, has been working with the team in pre season

Not sure if this is the right thread for this. But some decent praise from Ivan.
