Wests Tigers vs Warriors
Leichhardt Oval
Friday 7:45pm

It's 8th vs 9th and the Warriors once again grace Friday Night Football, and aren't we all salivating at the prospect. Ray Warren will be looking over the names on our team sheet with sheer terror, while we'll get to hear Gus ramble on about suburban grounds and Benji Marshall. In all seriousness though, I don't think the NRL could have booked a better game in this Origin/Bye hit weekend - and who could forget the last time we traveled to Sydney to play the Tigers? Krisnan Inu hasn't forgotten, though it seems he has been...

Council cost-cutting could result in the Warriors shifting to Eden Park and speedway going to Mt Smart Stadium.

Regional Facilities Auckland is proposing moving speedway from Western Springs instead of upgrading the Warriors' home ground.

The Warriors would then move to Eden Park, to make better use of the city's biggest stadium.
Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah says he only found out about the plan through the grapevine.
Scurrah says he needs more details and many factors need considering.

"What are they proposing, because we don't just play our games here at Mt Smart, but we're based here as well and in many ways the amount of time we spend training and preparing for matches are more important than the 12 we play in Auckland."
He's uncertain about the viability.

"We need to know a...

NZ Warriors vs Roosters
Mt Smart Stadium
Saturday 12th May, 7:30pm

Well, last week certainly exceeded my expectations. Broken jaws and a new signing aside, that first half against the Broncos was far and away the best half of football we’ve played all year. It began up front with a rampaging Big Ben absolutely smashing Hannant and his mate Thaiday, and was finished by a few deft touches from Johnson.
