Warriors vs Panthers

Last night on the 11th of June 2012, This was the sight as the Vodafone Warriors broke a two game losing streak. There was no better team to beat than the Penrith Panthers as in previous home games the Panthers Had defeated Manly Sea-Eagles and the Dragons! And With Kevin Locke returning from a sternum injury he would have a good battle with opposing fullback Lachlan Coote. The Warriors went on to win 30-16.

The next Benji Marshall

"The next Benji Marshall they say!" Yes Shaun Johnson has been a mean stepper and has a good whack on him like Kiwis Captain Benji Marshall. And yes both of them are Kiwis. Last year Warriors standoff Shaun Johnson was nominated for rookie of the year award. By purchasing a pack of this years NRL select cards you could get a card called Shaun Johnson rookie standout. And they can also score and make something out of nothing!

Vodafone Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos

30-20 was the final score as the second placed Broncos took on the 12th placed Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland New Zealand. 19,000 tickets were pre sold before the game. That means that with a big crowd, this would be a GREAT game!

"RRRRRRRR" The Whistle blew to signal the beginning of the game. Three minutes had passed and already the Warriors crossed foe their first four pointer, scored by rookie Ben Henry. The Kick peeled over the post making the score 6-0 In favour of the Warriors. Then By the 20 minute mark the visitors (the broncos) were in the lead by 10-6. That was two quick tries to Jack Reed and Alex Glenn. I thought that Jack Reeds was a no try.

12-10 the Warriors were back in the lead with a try to Shaun Johnson. It was a very scrappy try. With about 6 minutes until half time the warriors crossed over again through Elijah Taylor making the score 18-10. In the 38th minute Returning star Jacob Lillyman scored his first try of 2012. Going into half-time the Warriors were leading 24-10.

Ben Te'o the new Rabbits Star crossed over the try line in the 48th minute setting up the game for a grand stand finish. Half an hour of nail biting passed before the game was all but sealed. When Leading off loader Feleti Mateo scored with six minutes until full time at this point the score was 30-16. The Dying stages of the game was upon the teams when Sam Thiday of the Brisbane broncos broke the line and scored a consolation try. It was a great game!

Vodafone Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans!

Tomorrow night on the 24th of march 2012 the vodafone warriors will come face to face with the gold coast titans! This is sure to be a great game. But sadly last week both teams suffered a loss. The Titans were smashed by the storm and the warriors went down 32-18 to the bulldogs. So Both teams want a win so this will be hard fought!

The Warriors have got skill all through out their back line and their forward line. But last week The warriors didn't use it to their full potentials. The have stars like Kevin Locke, Shaun Johnson and Ben Matulino! They nearly won last week but let in two tries that put the icing on the cake for the doggies!

Now the Titans The Gold coast titans are like the warriors full potential all over the park. But they like the warriors have only won once and are sitting on two points! Meaning they have only won once. So this game will have a lot of similarities! But there is one thing I have to say....."GO THE WARRIORS!!!"

1. Billy Slater (Strom)

Warriors vs Bulldogs!

On Sunday the 18th of march 2012. The top of the table Bulldogs will take on the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland NZ. Both of the teams are coming of wins as the Bulldogs defeated the 2010 champs the dragons 30-4. Their opponents the warriors have also come off a win 36-20 against the eels. This will be a scintillating game!

After smashing the eels 36-20, the vodafone warriors will be looking for back to back wins for the first time this year. If they perform like they did last Monday night, then they should be able to defeat the bulldogs! If the Warriors shut down the doggies halves Reynoldes and Hodkinson they will have a great chance of winning.

On to the Bulldogs. The Canterbury bulldogs have had back-to-back wins moving them to the top of the table. Also the doggies have huge forwards that can bust through any defence line. But if the warriors shut them down then it maybe the warriors on top. So all I can say is..... "GO THE WARRIORS!"

WARRIORS vs STORM!!

This week on Sunday the vodafone WARRIORS will be taking on the Melbourne STORM!!!!! With out a doubt this will be a cracker!!!! It will be third versus seventh, with the STORM in third place and the WARRIORS in seventh!!!!!

The WARRIORS have recently had three consecutive losses. As you know the WARRIORS are looking to snap a three game losing streak, and there will be no other way than to do it with the WARRIORS being at home at Mt Smart Stadium. Going into this game the WARRIORS will have a lot of hope after defeating this star-filled team in the ANZAC day battle, 18-14 at the STORMS home ground of AAMI park!!!

If both teams look to win this game they first of all need to shut down the fowards, but most of all for the WARRIORS, shut down the three best players of the game, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith and Billy Slater!!!!! In saying that..... ' GO THE WARRIORS '

Another hard game after a sad loss!!!!!

After a poor loss to the wests tigers, the Vodafone Warriors have yet again another hard game in the making as they go head to head against the reigning 2010 premiers the St George Illawarra Dragons!!!!! Altough the Dragons recently last night lost to the Cronulla Sharks 16-10 in a poor game they are still a tough team after winning the world club challenge to Super League premiers St Helens 21-15!!!!

Kevin Locke comes in for the injured Glen Fishiahi'i , Isaac john come in for the suspened Jame Maloney and New Signing Krisnan Inu come in for the injured MANU 'THE BEAST' VATUVEI!!!!!

On Saturday the 19th of March 2011 live from Leichart oval in Sydney Australia. Hopefully the three changes in the warriors team can DOMINATE the FIERCE tigers pack.

The opening of the four nations game!!

An absolute scintillating match of rugby league is in the balance as the NRL Kiwi's take on last years host of the four nations, England. If you remember, last time these two foes met was last year (2009) when England took the game, 22-14 at JJB stadium. In England. But I can guarantee that this time the Kiwi's will win. This game will be the opener of the four nations will be played at Westpac stadium in Wellington........GO THE MIGHTY KIWI'S!!!!!!

NRL Kiwi's vs Samoa!!!

On Saturday the 16th of October 2010 the New Zealand Nrl Kiwi's will go head to head with pacific Island Nation, Samoa. After backing the Kiwi's last year my mates, Joshua and Erene will be hoping that the strong pacific island team SAMOA will be putting on a hell of a Show!!!!! This game is going to be played at the Vodafone Warriors home ground of Mount Smart Stadium. Both teams will be looking to impress!!! Especially the Nrl Kiwi's. They will try and impress so they will be considered a threat in the four nations tournament this October!!!!!GO THE KIWI'S!!!!!!!

Meeting Kevin "The Hero" Locke!!!!!

WOW!!!! What an experience this was for me.....meeting The new and exciting roadrunner, Kevin Locke!!!! It was a great time for me. It was a thing to Remember. I Thought to myself as I met him " I could get famous because of this " But no. I'm still not. That's me,on the bottom left of the Photo.

Anyway, Kevin Locke is one HELL of a young performer and there is still a lot of talent to come out of him!!!! Kevin Locke ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Match of the year!!!!!

The Match of the year is in the Balance!!!! This year, these two teams have met in two BLOCKBUSTER Matches!!!! And on both occasions the Wests Tigers have come out the Victorious team. First of all in round seven when the Tigers came back from 22-6 down at half time to win 35-22. And not soon after we go to round fifteen where it was an AMAZING match with the Tigers winning, 18-8. But this time I think it will be a Different result. The Raiders will win because in round eighteen they were in position number twelve on the ladder and made the Finals. And also, the Raiders are the team in the finals with momentum and have won 10 of their past 11 games!!!!! That is an AWESOME RECORD!!!!! GO THE RAIDERS!!!!!!!!

A Chance to Make The Top Four Against the Eels!!!!

This, for the Warriors is a do or die match, if they have any chance of making the top four and host a Semi-Final. But the Eels, on the other hand ( My uncle's favourite team ) will farewell the Workhorse himself, Nathan Cayless and say good by to three players who will go off to other clubs. And they are Kris Keating, Going to the Bulldogs, And the Kiwi's themselves, Krisnan Inu and Feleti Mateo, Both coming to the Warriors. YAH!!!!! Now back to the Warriors, It is not looking good for them as they will have a two hour flight to Australia in Parramatta Home of the Eels. Statistics and History show that the Warriors are not going to come out victorious and lose. BOO!!!!! But there is still a Gilmore of hope that the Warriors will win. Because last time they met the Warriors THUMPED them, 35 points to 6, and also the Warriors are Getting Paid One Dollar and ten cents to and the Eels only Two dollars and Fifty seven cents. Come on boys........GO THE WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!

Courageous race for the top eight!!!!

This year, the race to make the finals has been an absolute thrilling BATTLE!!!!!! Last week, after their HEART-BREAKING ( NOOOOOO!!!!) lose, the Rabbitohs might have to be kissing their 2010 season goodbye!!!! But on the other hand, My Favourite team ( The Warriors ) are sitting on sixth place with 28 points. Comfortable, to say the least. This week my nails have shortened because I have been literally biting them. And you know why, The Warriors have an absolutely HARD match against my friend ( Cruz's ) best team, Sea Eagles!!!! Wait more trouble, its in Manly. ( In Australia ).GO THE WARRIORS!!!!!

Rabbitohs vs Warriors!!!!

On Sunday the 25th of July, My all time favourite team the Vodafone Warriors will battle the South Sydney Rabbitohs for a top four place on the ladder. While the Rabbitohs look to get back in to the top eight. ( They sit ninth on 20 points with the Eels ). If the Warriors win, not only it will be their 6th win in a row, they will go to second equal with the Wests Tigers and the Penrith Panthers on 26 points. With only 10 points separating the tenth place Parramatta and up to first place, it is a race to get into the top eight.

Both, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the New Zealand Warriors are desperate to win or tough consequences where the Rabboitohs might not make the top eight, where the Warriors could slip out of the top eight. As you all know my opinion, 'GO THE WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
