Meet the latest threat to public safety and civil order - 59-year-old Warriors supporter Tony Waring.

Dean Bell is in a good mood. Not only does he believe the Warriors are on the verge of "something special" but he's just had his own contract extended until the end of 2016.

Maybe it's time to believe the hype about Sam Tomkins. Maybe, after a mixed start, he is showing signs of why the Warriors broke the bank to sign him.

Kevin Locke says his relationship with Sam Tomkins is "awesome", despite the different trajectories their respective careers have taken.

Big Ben is back. Or you might say Ben Matulino has been reborn - in a new position, under a new coach. And he is one of the keys to the reigniting of the Warriors' season.

The Warriors have put their faith in Nathan Friend for another year, re-signing the evergreen hooker until the end of the 2015 season.

Right, so the Women in League round is upon us - the week when the players don pink jerseys to salute the servitude and sacrifice of those women to allow men to play the greatest game of all. Incredibly in the past we've come under a bit of criticism.

Andrew McFadden's first official act as Warriors' head coach was to plump for stability, naming an unchanged team yesterday for Sunday's match against the top of the table Bulldogs.

The Warriors have a chequered history with rookie NRL coaches but see little risk in appointing Andrew McFadden to a long-term deal.

Don't judge the signing of Ryan Hoffman at the Warriors until you see the outcome of the recruitment plan for this year, writes Hugh McGahan.

Understandably, Australian teams do not like playing the Warriors at Mt Smart. The stadium's intimacy means the fans are close, providing a passion off which the home team feeds.

This is how to break a hex. Don't just stop it - smash it to smithereens.

Promising youngster Siliva Havili has re-signed with the Warriors - but the Auckland club will continue their search for another hooker.

Despite a rugby union background, Donovan discovered league in 2003 and has been hooked ever since. He and his wife have been Warriors members for more than a decade.

Konrad Hurrell has shouldered the blame for the infamous sex tape fiasco - even though it was a "mate" who released it into the public arena.

The Warriors will need to convert their fan base from blue collar working-class types to white collar folk to make a successful shift to Eden Park.

At their sixth attempt the Warriors have smashed their Eden Park hoodoo, with a record win over the Canberra Raiders.

Ma'a Nonu's impressive burst of form isn't just giving the Blues a belated, unexpected shot at making the Super Rugby playoffs.

Konrad Hurrell has been named to start for the Warriors on Saturday, although the club doesn't know if he will still be available to play as the NRL's integrity unit investigates an embarrassing sex video involving the centre.

Warriors centre Konrad Hurrell's prospects of returning to rugby have been ignited with Chiefs coach Dave Rennie admitting he'd consider him for a Super Rugby contract.

Issac Luke has emerged as a major recruitment target for the Warriors - and the Kiwis hooker admits it would be "great to come home".

Kevin Locke is on his way to the Super League but may yet have an important role to play with the Warriors in 2014.

The evidence is not overwhelming, but a strong hunch says the Warriors have enough already to reach a positive verdict on their "interim" coach, writes Chris Rattue.

Almost a third of the way into the season and maybe the Warriors are ready to launch. It's important not to get carried away but Friday night's win over the Storm could be a turning point for the Auckland club in 2014.

The Warriors defied their poor form of 2014 to win a hugely entertaining game over the Storm.

It's starting to look like a poisoned chalice for interim Warriors coach Andrew McFadden following the side's second straight loss since he took over from Matt Elliott.
