Good News For NZ Rugby League

Today the Warriors signed Parramatta Eels players, Feleti Mateo and Krisnan Inu to three year deals. This is great news for the club, but the Warriors will need to sign a decent sized prop to take the ball up, if they want to improve their chances of playing football in September! In other signing news, the Warriors have also managed to sign Michael Luck to the end of the 2012 season. Luck consistently works hard and provides good leadership on the field, regardless of whether there is a C next to his name.

Last Friday night the Kiwis played the Kangaroos in the annual ANZAC test, although the boys went down 12-8 there was plenty to be happy about. Kearny put a young and relatively inexperienced team  on the field. Many people expected a 30 point plus blow out but the rain proved once again to be the great leveller and the boys in black put in a pretty gutsy defensive effort. I will look forward to seeing the Kiwis on home turf at the end of the year as part of the Four Nations tournament.

Because of the Kiwis game, the Warriors had a bye and banked two valuable competition points. Lets hope the rest has done them good and they are able to produce a solid effort at home against the Cowboys this weekend. This game should see the return of injured players, Mannering, Vatuvei and Seymor.
