Erin Clark is a fricken stud, man.
Attack looked better and continues to improve week on week.
Happy for the double for the falcon.
Taine should be kicking anything that’s not directly in front.

Extended until 2028 in the 03, bring it on. Can't wait for tonight, got my jersey on, been for a walk up Port Hills, got a few Up the Wahs
Warriors 18+. This is the game it clicks.
Born and bred, yeah will be pretty dewey by kickoff, FJW. Just got in and the back yard is damp as, slippery under foot.
Gonna be there wearing the Mighty Battle Gear. Can't Wait!
Up The Wahs!

CNKs extension is a bit of a must have imo, he bleeds the jersey.
Bro
It's round 8 lol.
There's still 19 weeks to go until finals....we might just have enough time to recoup even if we drop this game....keep ya chin up
I wasn’t initially a fan yesterday but I’ve come around to CNK resigning.
1) He’s not blocking a spot for any young talent.
2) His salary isn’t going to prevent us signing anyone as we have plenty spare.
3) He strikes me as a good dressing room influence.
4) He has utility value should someone else become a better option at fullback.

We have to balance marquee signings with development of our young talent. When mohawk took over he stated that he wanted us to win the premiership with home grown players. Thats where we are investing.
Look at our team this year. Ali, Leka, Demetric, Laban and now TT. All have become regular first graders. behind them? MGT, EIT, Jett, TSS. That’s the bones of the 2028 - 2029 premiership team right there. On top of that, we are investing in Metcalf as our million dollar half with Jett coming in behind him.. CHT will be under threat with Jye Linnane next season.
The major change is investment in our systems up and down the grades. This investment is bearing fruit and over time will be our biggest strength. We won’t keep everyone. Good players will be let go. Thats sport.
In terms of what we need right now? Another 30 minute impact prop - likely Bunty replacement. Walker replacement. DWZ /RTS replacement in 2 years - we need pace! We already have a TMM or Boyd replacement in Jye..
Long Story short why throw money at players close to past their prime versus keeping the guns we have? Best nursery in the world is in our back yard. Our cap will reward the talent we have as they continue to grow through good performances. Invest in coaching and facilities.
The key to all of this is a great coach. Amazing pathways and a system that is embedded from a young age coupled with some flair and pace. We have most of that already.
This is why we are winning ugly versus losing closely this season. A bit more time and I firmly believe we will develop into the Melbourne or Penrith style club who are consistently threatening for titles every season.
Let’s hope Webby is still here in 20 years because that is what it will take.
Exciting times.

I think Taine stays put. I think the club will put a good offer together. He covers 1,2,5,6,14. He's next man up at 3 of those 5 and is obviously highly rated by the club. If we have missed signing our marquee FB, now is the perfect time for him to negotiate.
At the very least, even if you don't rate him as a player. I think CNK helps quite a bit with warriors culture in the club. He does not back down when hurt, will play in any position given to him, encourges the boys on there acheviments, doesn't sulk and trains his heart out every week. Which overall should impact all of the players around him to play better, to train better. As well as having an amplfying effect on fish's.
Small plus is that he keeps repping us to the fellow kiwis every internatinal game.
