To be Honest I don’t think I’ve ever heard the warriors being called “the Vodafone warriors” by anyone. Its always been the NZ warriors or just the warriors. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be the Auckland or New Zealand Warriors though, having a sponsor rather than location as your name is shameful. How about the Venari Giants, CBR Tigers and Altropa FC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough and I can totally understand that. The fact that nobody else calls them that or did call them that doesn’t bother me in the slightest. In fact I’m more bothered that they aren’t known as the Auckland warriors these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
