Flashback Friday

In 2003 the Warriors finished 6th on the ladder and had a tough trip to play the Bulldogs in week 1 of the finals series.

As always with the Warriors being the underdogs and backs to the walls they played amazing footy and took the game to the more fancied Bulldogs.

Winger Francis Meli who scored an amazing 23 tries over the course of the season touched down 5 times which is still a finals record today for most tries in a game.

Faither Rant

The Warriors are certainly not a team that have fans jumping ship to support them, the bandwagon supporters tend to flock to the successful sides, just like 2 Team Tracy. Whatever team is winning, that's the one they'll inevitably support.

In saying that, it's really just stating the obvious to suggest that 99% of Warriors fans have been supporting the side since day 1, or for as long as they can remember for the younger folk......and maybe some of the older fans.

1995 - The Year a Dream Became Reality

A new era in Rugby League was officially born at Ericsson Stadium on the 10th of Match against the Brisbane Broncos in front of 29,220 fans.

The team was led into battle for the first time from the tunnel, through an avenue of fire and drums by the inaugural captain, Dean Bell. With Ray "Rabbits" Warren calling the game he had the following to say as his first words as the Warriors emerged; "and here they come, Dean Bell will cherish and remember this magic moment in his Rugby League career like no other".
