15 years of the Warriors and the Kiwis - an unfinished thought

This isn't something I can really put into words.

But essentially the thought is this...

The Warriors have been around for 15 years now, kids who are 20 now probably don't remember a time where we didn't have the Warriors. Im 24 and slightly remember pre-Warriors days but im a bit of a sporting barry and was a massive Penrith fan in the early 90s.

So most players in the Kiwis, most kiwis in the NRL and all of them in the Under 20s probably don't remember a Rugby League environment without the Warriors.

So can we put down the Kiwis success on the international stage to the benefits that the Warriors have bought to the game? Not all of it, certainly. But it has to be there, floating about in the background thats for sure.

An unfinished and underdeveloped thought but maybe something that sporting barrys like myself should think more about.
