Panthers coach Ivan Cleary bristled at a suggestion that his side lost to a "reserve grade team", but well, it almost was. Missing several stars, the Warriors beat the defending champs, 22 points to 20. How exciting for Nic and Ben, who have a spring in their step this week. Craig was happy as well with the Raiders win, and the nice tribute paid to Kiwis great, Quentin Pongia after the win over the Bulldogs.

British rockers, Status Quo, sum up the Warriors current problems best: "Down down deeper and down...". Roosters 38, New Zealand's finest, 18. No way to sugar coat this, the Warriors are in a hole. Ben and Nik do their best to find a way forward, but with injuries mounting, and the Panthers up next, it's looking grim. This is serious folks! Craig sat back, smiling, with the Raiders having a bye.  We're out at the start of the week before sunrise, so you can get it first, and impress your footy-loving friends at work, with the NRL Reax!

It's 4 o'clock on a chilly Monday morning, and the comfy studios of The Sound in Auckland resonates with disappointed Warriors fans, Nik and Ben. Another loss. Knights 14 Warriors 8. 14th on the ladder, and now they play the high flying Roosters. Craig was pretty chirpy after the Raiders comeback victory over the Sea Eagles, and he reckons the Warriors will beat the Chooks. We also hear from every NRL captain at their press conferences, which is very, very rare. Usually, they just sit next to the coach and nod.

Warriors coach Andrew Webster hasn't hit the panic button yet. He's given his players a few days off after their loss to the Titans. They play the Knights on Sunday, so they have plenty of times to lick their wounds. Nik and Ben pick apart the defeat, and sound a little gloomy about their prospects this week. Craig's Raiders got pumped by the Sharks, and he's also unhappy about the NRL trading on the ANZAC legend.

The Warriors led the way against the Dragons in all the statistics except the one that mattered: the scoreboard. St George Illawarra won 30-12. Maybe the Warriors' players had been reading the press, because everyone had jumped on the bandwagon. There's a big test coming up against the Titans, who are getting closer to an elusive win. Ben is pessimistic, Nik has the hope of an Emily Dickenson poem, and Craig does his best to steer the conversation away from the Raiders.

Warriors coach Andrew Webster said it "felt like a draw", and, um, it was. 22-14 to the Sea Eagles with two minutes left on the clock at Mt Smart, the fickle finger of NRL fate swung the home side's way, leading to a heart-stopping 22-all draw. Nik and Ben tell us where they were when their team started the comeback, and start the buildup to next week's game against the Dragons. Craig hardly slept after the Raiders last-gasp win over the Titans, but it was worth waiting up for, as Des Hasler and Ricky Stuart traded insults after the game.
