Warriors fans, sit back and let Ben Francis' passion for his team wash over you. After the 66 to 6 loss to the Titans (the Titans!), he's been waiting to fire off, and he doesn't disappoint.

The Venn diagram of pain. Round 15.
For twenty minutes the Warriors looked awesome. They led the Storm 14-nil, the big crowd at Mt Smart was in fine voice, and they had all the ball. And then the Storm got their hands on the pill, and they did what the Storm have done for 16 matches in a row against the boys from New Zealand: just gr…

Warriors have an abundance of riches. Round 14.
Warriors 42, Cowboys 12. Never in doubt this one. Coach Andrew Webster and skipper Tohu Harris were very relaxed, and happy at the post-game media conference. And for good reason. A big win and more troops returning in the next few weeks. Good times for Warriors fans. Not so good for Tigers coach B…

The University of Rugby League semester break. Round 13.
The Warriors had a bye, so we take the opportunity at the season's halfway mark for our report card of the Warriors in 2024, so far. The Cowboys are next, giddy-up! Craig's Raiders had a golden point win over the Dolphins. Kiwis legend Jordan Rapana got the Green Machine over the line, but Wayne Be…

Belief. Warriors looking good. Round 12.
A few weeks ago, it was all doom and gloom for the Warriors. Now, they head into the bye looking good, and with a host of players set to return. Mt Smart was jumping, including Nik, Ben and Craig. Lots to get through this week. Warriors 24, Dolphins 20; Andrew Webster happy, Wayne Bennett not so mu…

Warriors beat Panthers with "a reserve grade team". Round 11.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary bristled at a suggestion that his side lost to a "reserve grade team", but well, it almost was. Missing several stars, the Warriors beat the defending champs, 22 points to 20. How exciting for Nic and Ben, who have a spring in their step this week. Craig was happy as well…

A juggernaut coming at us. Warriors in trouble. Round 10.
British rockers, Status Quo, sum up the Warriors current problems best: "Down down deeper and down...". Roosters 38, New Zealand's finest, 18. No way to sugar coat this, the Warriors are in a hole. Ben and Nik do their best to find a way forward, but with injuries mounting, and the Panthers up next…

Don't panic! It's only the Roosters. Round 9.
It's 4 o'clock on a chilly Monday morning, and the comfy studios of The Sound in Auckland resonates with disappointed Warriors fans, Nik and Ben. Another loss. Knights 14 Warriors 8. 14th on the ladder, and now they play the high flying Roosters. Craig was pretty chirpy after the Raiders comeback v…

ANZAC weekend disappointments. Round 8.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster hasn't hit the panic button yet. He's given his players a few days off after their loss to the Titans. They play the Knights on Sunday, so they have plenty of times to lick their wounds. Nik and Ben pick apart the defeat, and sound a little gloomy about their prospects…

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul. Round 7.
The Warriors led the way against the Dragons in all the statistics except the one that mattered: the scoreboard. St George Illawarra won 30-12. Maybe the Warriors' players had been reading the press, because everyone had jumped on the bandwagon. There's a big test coming up against the Titans, who …
