Interesting article on the Daily Telegraph site about the Kumuls making a play for the NRL.
The PNG Government is behind this bid in a big way:
PNG Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare has also pledged $10 million to help build a new stadium in Port Moresby and a further $250,000 to assist the PNG bid team, [...]

Hmmm … those poor Warriors just can’t keep out to the news.
After a dire season in 2009, the Warriors are clearly (or should that be Cleary?) trying to make some changes.
The big one of course is replacing Steve Price as Captain. Reading the press, you’d think someone had shot the guy.
Yep, he’s an icon, but [...]

Often at the same time and in the same place.
So you might be surprised to find out that barely a month after the 2009 NRL Grand Final, the Warriors are among a number of teams back [...]

The Storm have done as expected and won their third NRL crown in their short history.
Someone from the Warriors should be taking notes.
You do have to wonder about whether there was ever any chance of Steve Kearny becoming the Warriors coach.
As for the Eels, they went well beyond what could have reasonably been expected, coming [...]

In particular, one of the big issues has been the Warriors drop out of the top 8 and to the bottom of the ladder, although safely out of reach of the wooden spoon.
(As bad as the Warriors have been in [...]

Thankfully, by the time you read this, the Warriors season will be over and Mrs Jones favourite son will be making subs in Avondale.
The season started so well. A scratchy but deserved win over the Eels (who admittedly didn’t look all that flash at the time) then a great win over Manly.
Stacey was back, the [...]

OK here goes live blogging and all that entails.
Bulldogs 10 – Warriors 4.
At least two dodgy decisions so far. In fact, the Warriors haven’t had the ball since they were on attack and a knockon was incorrectly ruled.
Heremaia off, Henderson on.
What if Heremaia played for the OTHER team?
Heremaia was a Bulldog
Was a good friend of [...]

Ex Warriors captain Monty Beetham models the Warriors new strip for 2010.
The team name will change to the Penrose Leopards for the first two games of the season and from then will be known as the Penrose Pussies.

Here at the Orange we have got our hands on secret papers that set out the Warriors attacking plans in detail.
Our legal team has told us not to release them to the public but we’ll make all efforts to resist the Warriors’ coaching staff from preventing the public from setting their eyes on the plans.
Here’s [...]

The Warriors team for today has got a real Kiwi feel to it:
Kevin Locke
Patrick Ah Van
Elijah Taylor
Joel Moon
Manu Vatuvei
Aaron Heremaia
Stacey Jones
Sam Rapira
Lewis Brown
Russell Packer
Simon Mannering
Ben Matulino
Micheal Luck (c)
Interchange: Lance Hohaia, Evarn Tuimavave, Jacob Lillyman, Ukuma Ta’ai.
Only two cheating Aussies in the starting team and a third on the bench.
Very much a homegrown team.
Let’s just hope [...]
