Lol and the warriors go down again.
But this was agaisnt the number one team in the comp, and they most certianly went down with a fight. 30-24 was the final score.
They lead 12-0 at a stage.
The wooden spoon looms, they must upset the Doggies next week.
Somehow i doubt that will happen ^-^
Meanwhile, me and Auror Chick are the only ones here !
Where are the rugby union/league fans !!!
You're not the only ones here it's just taken me a while to find this thread. I'm English born but live in NZ so unless the ABs are playing the English then i'm all for the ABs. The Warriors have had a shocker of a season, so many times they look like they're turning the corner only to be stuffed again. On the plus side did you guys see Arwen Goodenbille's takle last weekend, jeez that dude must have been seeing starts for ages. Bad luck to the ABs in the Tri Nations, the home team was superior in every game. They've got alot of new players coming into the mix this year and once they all gel things will improve. As for my beloved England, what a nightmare - Dally's retired, Woodward's resigned this week along with all the players retired and injured from our world cup squad it's a sad time for us. When our squad is back to full strength i still think we'll be able to compete against the top nations but as for another world cup i cant see it frankly. Clive Woodward even though he wasnt popular outside England, is a great coach you cant argue with his record. Without a great coach it will be hard for us to get to the top again especially with a young team. I am a Waikato and Chiefs fan, what are your teams? Auror Chk, you can be very proud of the P.I. team it's a shame you cant compete in the world cup but then who would the All Blacks have left? vvvrulz, my dad is from Jamaica so i support the West Indies in cricket, as you know i havent had much to cheer about. Good to meet you all.
Hey there koolruningz.
Yeah English rugby aren't having the greatest of times, but they are a class outfit nonetheless, and will be back for sure.
I support Waikato and the Cheifs also, but my main team would have to be Auckland, however theyre having a bit of a shocker themselves, Waikato destroyed them last week ! The return of the AB's will certainly boost them however.
Warriors last game of the season this weekend, haha Guttenbeils tackle was something to savour huh. Lets hope we can at least avoid the wooden spoon and give the fans something to look forward to for season '05
Hey mate, thanks for the kind words about England. I'll always support my country but you have to call it the way you see it and we are struggling right now. What do you think of Graham Henry as AB coach? I think he knows what he's doing, it just seems like he choses the wrong #10 if he's playing a flat back line. Merts is the man if you want to play that way, it's successful in England because they have a #10 like Wilkinson who is a great chip kicker. Carlos is more a ball in hand player. Yeah Arwen has got my vote for tackle of the year, his reaction after was great to (shame the Aussies went down the other end and scored straight away). The Moo Loos were on song last week Sivivato has got to be one of the most explosive wingers in the country, we've got Jono and the boys back from AB duty this week so i'm hoping we can cream Wellington on Friday. Good talking to you.
Hey my 1st post in this Thread (thank god there is one)
Rugby
England is going to struggle for a long time. It's their forwards that they draw most of their strengths. And without Dilalio sp? and Johnson the younger guys will loose their heads and give away too many penalties (like dey did in their last tour on NZ and AUS). and plus their backs are just useless even with Wilkenson sp? they are decent defenders but offer nothing in terms of attack.
All Blacks need to concetrate on their Locks. i know robinson and mcgaw were injured during the Tri nations, but they need to be better in that area. The Wallabies know how to play the AB and what i think they need to do is use their forwards much more rather than rely on their backs to score tries.
Rugby League
The finals are nearly here. Being a samoan Queenslander......
GO BRONCOS!!!!! - we are getting all our stars back and we will be ready baby. i see a Broncos vs Bullgos final
and good luck to the Cowboys. Congrats on making the finals but they not ready IMO. abd warriors. plleeeeease. i got hammered with jokes from my mates cos i also support them. well at least they bought well for next year.
GO BRONCOS!!!!!
Hey there El Toro
The NRL finals are definately going to make an interesting watch. I support the Bronco's too, and Queensland in the Origin. The team to beat for me are the Roosters, while I can't stand them, they're a class outfit. Its going to be great though, the Roosters, Bulldogs, Broncos, Dragons and Panthers facing off, five very strong teams.
As for the Blacks, I'm sure they will be back. This is no time to pass blame to the coaching staff, I'm sure Henry knows what he is doing.
They, along with the Warriors, will hopefully come right.
dontgetit now tell me wtf happend with Auckland in their game against Nth Harbour.. 👇 oO takes it to the heart..
oh well im still supporting them 😄 all the way 🙂
The England team...i like Clive i honestly do..its sad to see him go but i guess if i was him id be fed up with clubs not letting their star players get a bit of training in or games for that matter..but i dont think we'll be seeing them again with the World Cup..sadly..but if they do then they do..
oO i cant wait for The Lions tour..i rekon thats gonna be a good one 😄
yeap and the ABz will conquer all lol they will be back!! And Henrys doing a good job with them..maybe hes gotta trick up his sleeve naughty
The NRL i dont keep much track of..I was little bit shocked to see that the warriors were still playing ahehe...lets cross our fingers and keep hoping for them 😄
hey koolruningz 😄
oh well BOP & Cantebury had a game.. Cantebury won and BOP lost loosing their shield... atleast that got to hold on to the shield right? it was a good game 😐 ...
now the warriors played the bulldogs and got another ass whipin!! i honestly crossed my fingers for them.. i guess we better try another tactic -sighs-
Anyone got some more rugby / league news.. post it 😄
By the ways its nice to talk about Rugby here in KMC. nice to see there's a footy community here even if it is only 4 people.
Did u guys see the Cowboys game? Matt bowen is a sneaky lil monkey. man i hope he gets the fullback role for Qld next year. he'll tear the Bulldogs defence next week. 💃
So what are ur predictions?
Broncos vs Bulldogs final
Matt Bowen is a force to be reckoned with, but he will have a tough time challenging Rhys Wesser's spot in the Origin Jersey. I'm sure the Bronco's will be able to take the Storm, but they should not be underestimated, Slater and Orford are class acts. I think i mentioned earlier that the Roosters are the team to beat, the Doggies id rate second, and then the Bronco's. Much like the premiership table in fact !
BOP were unlucky against Canterbury. Can't beleive Auckland blew another match, meanwhile Taranaki is on a rampage.
Lets forget the Warriors until 2005 shall we. 🙂
