Congrats to the harold matts making the finals in the first year! Well done TJ Ashford
Like most of here, it makes me real anxious when we get talked up by panelists but I almost shed a tear when I watched this from Slater….even Joey agreed not once but twice.

Coming from Billy the goat, who knows his footy, knows what a successful team and club is, that's epic.
You guys see this piss take at our Government with a Warriors twist?

Just been talking to a guy who has worked out at Auckland Airport for over thirty years. He's seen hundreds of sports teams go through the airport and he says, even after a loss, he hasn't seen a team that seems to enjoy being together as much as the current Warriors team since the early 2000's Anderson coached sides.

Why league is winning the war over rugby: Chris Rattue’s Winners and Losers
Winner: League over rugby
On one hand, Moana Pasifika coach and All Blacks legend Tana Umaga is right in expressing his fears for the future of rugby, responding to poor crowd numbers that reflect a general disinterest in Super Rugby.On the other hand, people like Umaga should have been speaking out, really strongly, many years ago.
Rugby is falling apart. The horse has bolted.
Some of the problems are unavoidable - New Zealand’s small economy and isolation are just about insurmountable for a sport that produces so many great players in demand elsewhere.
And what goes around comes around, as New Zealand rugby is treated similarly to the way we have dealt with the Pacific Islands.
Other issues are entirely of rugby’s making - they range from the continual tampering with the overly complex rules to its arrogant and aloof behaviour.
The core issue is this: all successful professional sports are based on clubs that operate independently and are hellbent on beating each other.
In contrast, New Zealand rugby has turned itself into branch offices and All Blacks reserve grade.
It deserves to fail - and it is doing so. And when the Warriors take off to their full potential, as they are in the throes of doing, rugby will be obliterated by the NRL. Nothing is more certain.
The problems will compound.
I suspect the All Blacks’ test and World Cup success will become so important yet difficult to achieve that star players will assume all-powerful positions. This will enable them to - as Ardie Savea has called for - play for overseas clubs and remain test-eligible.
(A key factor might be the arrival of more aggressive player managers to argue the case.)
The big question for the domestic scene is this: will the NRL decide to put another league club in New Zealand, or leave the Warriors to sweep through the nation?
It’s a tough call.
