The decision by Ruben Wiki to make 2008 his last season in the NRL has been met by a flood of interest from Super League clubs looking to sign up the 35 year old. A New Zealand Rugby League legend, he won a title an NRL premiership with the Canberra Raiders back in 1994 and has played a world…
The best player in the world, Jonathan Thurston has led the North Queensland Cowboys to a 49-12 win over the New Zealand Warriors. Playing behind a no frills pack thats just keeps turning up in every set of six, Thurston was simply at his game breaking best and tore the Warriors apart. Thurston has found…
Broncos center and Queensland and Australian winger Brent Tate will leave the Brisbane Broncos and join the New Zealand Warriors next season after signing a three year deal. Tate will add much needed experience, consistancy and impact to the Warriors backline. Tate’s brother-in-law Steven Price is the captain of the Warriors and it will be…
I am one of Brent Tates biggest fans. He is a whole hearted, gutsy players who decided to play on with a neck injury that would have seen most other players retire. He always produces the good no matter who he is playing for and against the best of the best at Origin and Test…

If its proven that the Warriors organization at any time made payments to players, knowing those payments were not being put on the…
This is a very young story coming out of New Zealand but it seems the someone within the company that owns the New Zealand Warriors allegedly offered Warriors NRL players as a bargaining chip in their effort to secure the rights to a Pacific Islands rugby union side. Now, if this is the case, I…
Why do the Warriors suck? On the field, off the field, they just don’t have anything at all you can get excited about. As other NRL clubs battle it out for survival in a crowded market, the Warriors have an entire country all to themselves. Its not even as if its a bad market, its…
Ive had alot to say this week about Stacey Jones as news emeraged he had quit on the Warriors completely and will head to France to play. Im not surprised, I suggested this move was on the cards about a year ago. What Im am surprised about is the attitude of NZ fans who keep…
