Congrats to the Titans so just the better side.
We look like shit when Egan went off

Time to be honest with some players.
Niukore either needs to move to the front row or the bench.
Ford needs to desperately fix his discipline. His effort isn’t worth the trade off, he puts us under pressure too often.
CHT can probably find a new role. Halves combo of TMM and Boyd going forward for me.
DWZ can have a few weeks off.
Capewell has to get healthy.
Healey needs to be in the team somewhere.

If we are serious about challenging for top 2 and a home prelim, we need a big win today to close the for against gap to the dogs given we play them for 2nd in a couple of weeks.
This NEEDS to be a 40 point win. We need a statement for a bunch of reasons.
1. Say bye bye to Dessie. Thanks for the memories but take your horse down to old town road fella.
2. Avenge 2024. 66 points conceded to this mob at their place was a low point, as was losing on Anzac Day (thanks Tannah)…. A 40+ point drubbing squares the ledger a bit until we pump them again at their place in a few rounds time.
3. Erin and Tannah to give them a f$&k you performance. Being values is everything. Erin to get a meat pie this week and Tannah to step up a gear from the Knights game, have several try assists, run the cutter perfectly and throw in a drop goal to put last week to bed.
4. Say thanks to Fozzie. Playing our best most ruthless game honours him. Then we share a beer with a legend.
5. Send a message to the comp - especially the Phins and the Dogs who are next on the tasting platter. We’ve a had a couple of recent performances where our forwards haven’t hit the mark. Panthers, Broncos and Knights. If I’m JFH, I want to bring back the swagger we had when we played the Phins at Suncorp when our boys were serving them a pile of smack talk and we bullied them. Let’s bring that back.
6. I just want to see this team get feral and have a ruthless performance both defensively and offensively. I want the comp starting to fear us, not just respect us.
Today we get another shot at an 80 minute performance.
Time to bury the Titans and slap them with their wooden spoon until they beg for mercy. I want them to feel what we did last year at their place.
Then do it again in a few weeks at their place.
For and against, let’s go.
Wahs by 40+
(Don’t let me down and have another knights game - that would piss me off)

Let's send Des to retirement today. Win today, we are at least 5 pts ahead of 5th. It would also be our 13th of the year, making our return back to finals official. So much to play for boys. Let's not cock it up.
With the Eels knocking over the Broncos nothing is guaranteed. 2pts is all I want to keep 4th place secure
Leka's brilliance is purely instinctive. You can't coach that. Look closely at that remarkable try: first up, he consciously took a step backwards just before Boyd attempted the field goal to ensure he was onside. Just in case. Just in case what? Boyd was going to have to thump that ball to get it anywhere near the posts from 40+ metres out. The chances of Leka getting his hands on it were negligible. But he corrected his positioning, in a split second, just in case. Then when the ball did, incredibly, spiral across the field in his direction, Leka snatched it from behind himself, thus swinging the momentum back in his direction and allowing him to take off at high speed. Again, pure instinct. Finally, when he set off, he didn't once look to pass. Didn't check to see if anyone was even nearby. He just knew - somehow - that he was going to get there. And that, again, is pure instinct meshed with raw potential at its highest level. What a freakish talent.
Yep agree, all stat based ARM does my head in, TT offers way more in try assists and other areas CNK lacks. See it in NSW Cup week in week out. Not to mention those 2 tackles he made on the weekend. Highly underrated, massively under appreciated. Then we have the ‘he is too small’ club as well. Same peeps would have Kini here in a heartbeat
HELP - Please rate all the games for 2025
Everything shown above can be accessed from the fixtures menu as below:
HELP!
Now this is where i need your assistance. The insights is only as good as the data behind it. In order to have meaningful data and analytics, we need decent ratings data from the community.
Can i please request, that if you have a few spare moments to go through the fixtures, and go through all the round games and rate all the players for 2025(or some if you have a recollection of how they played). The data collected gives a lot of information on how players have been performing through the season and will be even more meaningful next and future seasons as a result.
All links on the pages should work. If something doesnt work or doesnt make sense please post through. Colours will change to be more inline with current style. Dark mode and mobile views will get better over time.
Open for feedback.
But before you do, please go and quickly rate a game or two. All games ratings are preselected to 6, so quick to rate (takes about 20 seconds). Please ensure you save/submit at the end of the ratings form.

4 moment's last weekend got the win for us. All 4 were from 2 players.
Leka's tackle on Fletcher Hunt right on the tryline. And Leka's match winning try at the end. The other 2 were try saving tackles by Taine. After making a tackle and having to get back up and haul his ass over and make the try saving tackle on the support player , Not once! But twice! was epic!
I couldn't find the Michael Witt try.
This is the entire match but the link should start close enough to the try. I got it as Peter Sterling praised the Storms' body language and the Warriors being down and out. What do we say in New Zeland. Nek Minute.

We used to have a thread celebrating our late wins with last minute tries or late field goals, famous comebacks.
This weekends win is a good reason to bring it back. We have had a few late tries or drop goal break our hearts the last few years. Let's reminisce on when we were on the better side of it.
The last 7 minutes from Channel 9. Or as the thumbnail puts it the Gods are from Aotearoa.

Just fuckin still buzzing lads
I got a congratulations teams message from a colleague who knows I am a warriors fan. I actually screamed with joy when he scored. Huge scream!! I don't know where it came from
Thought he looked quite stunned on the field even when Leka scored. Probably had started processing all the shit he was expecting to get.
He nailed the conversion over the dot though and we know he can kick. Just a bad night at the office.
He'll get plenty of support
Did you notice who was backing up LekaThe thing we all keep forgetting with youth is they are so quick and agile at that age. We need to capitalise on this. That explosive speed off the mark with his size makes him an unstoppable force close to the line.
I looked at his debut game last season. He was even quicker off the mark and has since bulked up alittle more.
Leka is a great match up against the older legs. I was calling it yesterday- get him in front of Gagai and he’ll burn him to shreds. Mission accomplished!!!
Webby needs to find him space to run
All the way to tryline?
Demetric the Giant
Where were our halves hookers etc
Waiting in case a final flick pass was coming
Good on ya Demi bruv
I saw ya
Future right there
Heres the full article for the above
The Warriors have launched a trans-Tasman assault on the Broncos after setting up a poaching program in the region that produced Queensland legend Cameron Smith.
The New Zealand NRL club will on Monday announce the creation of a new training academy and community program in Logan – one of rugby league’s most fertile breeding grounds.
Future NRL Immortal Smith emerged from Brisbane’s southern hub to forge one of the game’s greatest careers with Melbourne, Queensland and the Kangaroos.
Maroons enforcer Josh Papalii is another Logan junior who was pounced on by the Raiders and is now Canberra’s most-capped player (322 NRL games).
Now Brisbane is facing a fresh recruitment threat from the growing Warriors, who are formally extending their reach across the ditch and targeting a region that’s already under assault from the Gold Coast Titans.
Warriors CEO Cameron George said the club would base permanent staff in Logan to oversee the operation in the hope of signing the game’s best young talent.
“As a club, we focus on the person first and foremost,” he said.
“It’s not just about footy – it’s about providing opportunities to all young people so they can reach their potential.
“Our elite academy for boys and girls in Logan will provide a direct pathway to the New Zealand Warriors NRL and NRLW teams.
“Through the community program we’ll also be offering come-and-try days, school visits and talent identification.”
The Broncos long had renowned talent scout Brian ‘Pinky’ Edwards spotting talent in the Logan area, signing the likes of David Fifita and Ezra Mam.
Brisbane legend Corey Parker is also a Logan junior.
The Broncos have targeted New Zealand in recent years, signing the likes of Jordan Riki, Xavier Willison and Deine Mariner from the Warriors’ home.
The Warriors snared Broncos sensation Reece Walsh in 2021 briefly and are now coming back to Brisbane for more.
The Warriors are going all-out on Logan, with the academy to offer elite training and talent identification programs as well as support for career opportunities outside football.
Logan City Council will provide the Warriors with access to fields and office space as part of the partnership.
The Broncos have already got fierce competition from the Dolphins and Titans in South East Queensland and Logan Mayor Jon Raven said the Warriors were moving into the region strongly.
“So many league legends have come from Logan and we’re thrilled to welcome the Warriors to our city to nurture more NRL stars of the future,” he said.
“Logan is the leading rugby league nursery in the nation and has one of the largest populations of people of New Zealand and Pacific Island descent outside of Auckland.
“The Warriors are known for their strong community connections and supporting development opportunities for young people, which are values we love here in Logan – the youngest, most diverse and fastest growing city in Queensland.”
The Warriors will make an appearance for a fan day and captain’s run at Logan Metro Sports Park in Browns Plains on August 22 ahead of their round 25 match against the Titans on the Gold Coast.
