Webster said Jacob Laban “heard a pop” in the tackle by Kaufisi. Doesn’t sound good. Pretty awful tackle really. One NZ Warriors

Spotted at Royal Oak mall. Childhood hero. ⁦NHL⁩ GOAT And surely up there with Pele, Maradona, Nicklaus, Ali, Federer, Bradman, Phelps, Williams, Court, Biles, McCaw and all the rest.

Andrew Webster confirmed Jacob Laban out for 4-6 weeks with leg fracture after Kaufisi tackle. He didnt comment too much, but is obvious club are very displeased that injury to Laban wasn’t taken into account when assessing Kaufisi punishment. One NZ Warriors NZ Herald Sport

Joined Brian Kelly on Country Sport Breakfast to look back on that loss to the Dolphins, look ahead to the Bulldogs match and work out if the One NZ Warriors can still make the top 4. iheart.com/podcast/1049-t…

Nothing going right for One NZ Warriors + not playing well but some very curious refereeing decisions too that have completely changed momentum. Different circumstances to last year but I can feel another Jason Paris tweet coming... :)

I'd be happy if the One NZ Warriors don't play Bulldogs in Sydney again for a long time. Last season lost CNK, DWZ & Montoya to injury, Martin taken out & Burton's wobbly field goal. This year lose Martin early, no kicking game after that and biblical rain. Bad karma there!

Can't begin to describe how sad this news is. Peter Lester was one of the nicest people I've met in my career and a true sailing legend. A genuine national treasure, especially when it came to the America's Cup. He will be missed by so many. RIP. nzherald.co.nz/sport/sailing/…

To add to this; Peter Lester had the everyman touch & was a true gentleman. Great company, generous mentor and an absolute master in his field, either as a sailor or analyst. americascup Sailing New Zealand NZ Herald Sport

Exclusive: Te Maire Martin has decided his future, after months of speculation. He will be staying on at the One NZ Warriors in 2026, which looked very unlikely not so long ago. nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby-le… NZ Herald Sport One NZ Warriors NRL

Only 34 players have scored 100 goals or more in Premier League Those who haven't include van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Torres, Beckham & Tevez. Chris Wood (89) could make it this season for Nottingham Forest . Amazing. tinyurl.com/bdb7k4tf NZ Herald Sport New Zealand Football 🇳🇿 Chris Wood

Louis Verstraete hasn’t made the trip (hip injury) but Auckland FC will be near full strength for this one. Hearing one other regular could be missing but that is TBC. NZ Herald Sport Isuzu UTE A-League

Efficient performance from Auckland FC . Defensively solid & took their chances. Randall was sharp. South Mel decent and had a real go. Good to see Lachlan Brook & especially Luka Vicelich...looks a good one for the future. nzherald.co.nz/sport/football… NZ Herald Sport Isuzu UTE A-League

This game is being completely ruined by Clint Gutherson and Damien Cook constantly - and I mean constantly - complaining to the referee. One NZ Warriors

That’s the kind of result that can turn things round . Coach Andrew Webster admitted the One NZ Warriors are “killing themselves” but they got the job done. Only upwards from here, one feels.
