Re the overwhelming use of box kicks, why not prevent attacking players (apart from the kicker) competing for the ball unless in opposition 22? A maverick law change but surely worth exploring? The England approach as stated was farcical but effective. I say competing - so doesn’t rule out catching the ball unopposed

Good to see the Warriors going well but unfortunately they lost me a long time ago. I recall being very excited at them entering the league in 1995 but I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to suggest that ever since they’d go close to the worst win:loss ratio of any club in the NRL. Not exactly a recipe for a growing fan base. At times they’ve been embarrassingly ill disciplined and lacking in basics. Outside of Auckland, and specifically South Auckland, they’re pretty low profile, in fact I see far more Warriors jerseys on the Gold Coast than most of NZ. It’s a shame cos it’s looks like they’re having a great season, but it is what it is.
