Home game NZ next year 2024

You’ve got no idea mate . I’m commenting on the fact you said it wasn’t a sacrifice . You can be arrogant all you want , it makes you come across even more wrong than before you started .


It seems the word sacrifice is whats trooping you up.

I’ll try to explain it in simple terms so you can follow.


Ok, if your local cafe was closed during lockdown and you had to get takeaway instead of drinking in. Is that a sacrifice ? Sure on some level it is.

Now let’s say a dr had to do 12 hour shifts, plus extra cleaning protocol before and after each shift.. is that a sacrifice? I mean they can choose to quit I guess.

Of course, during a global pandemic, lots of people made sacrifices. Some small, some big. That isn’t gate keeping, it’s just logic.

Back on topic though. Wests didn’t do this for anything other than $$$$. They have sold home games for years, now they just have an excuse for it.

I agree with this…but in the past they were broke ,..why continue to do it and how much are they making ? Surely the difference between playing the game in Sydney at home versus NZ would be about a $100k difference tops … a pittance with their revenues these days.. is that worth it to give the fans another reason to whinge?

If you can’t win games, get the cash. Pascoe hits his KPI’s for the WA overlords and keeps his job.

It’s amazing that people even try to defend this. Warriors fans can see their team every second week at one ground. Wests fans have limited home games, spread across not just the country, but now also internationally. Awesome.

Hopefully some other clubs will start donating home games to us for appreciation in making them look good for all these years.

All of that is irrelevant . The sacrifice is 💯 in reference to the fact in the nrl bubble no one else , had to endure what they had to.
And they did sacrifice , in the bubble of nrl rugby league . I if I go without an ice cream , so my son can have one because I only have 3 bucks that’s a sacrifice . If I jump on a grenade so my mates can live in the middle of a war zone that’s a sacrifice .
You could argue one is more grater than the other , in relative terms , but in that bubble and that moment , they both have intrinsic value . In fact to my son in that hypothetical , the ice cream would have infinitely more value than knowing someone jumped on a Grenade somewhere else . He would have emotion about the latter .
So in the nrl , in thier bubble , if one team gives up 2 years of thier life to play footy , in the nrl , that would have exponential value , that a cafe worker , or store person wouldn’t . That’s not to diminish the storeperson , and thier greater value to the wider world , as it’s all relative .
It’s the gesture that matters not its overall impact. I don’t understand what you’re failing to understand about this ?
And in regards to living in a bubble for 1-2 years . I did it for a year well before Covid ever existed . And mentally it was torture . And I had everything available to me , that you would think I would want in that environment .
And just about everyone else I speak to that went through the same thing , has the same story .
Time is the most precious commodity , and subconsciously I think we all know it . So to give up your time , for anyone , even a second is to give value to that . And it is a sacrifice . I’m sorry you don’t see that .

Hmm I’m thinking you are having problems differentiating what the warriors football team did to what ever it was you went through prior to covid.

All good, work though it best you can and take care.

You’re doing it again . Being arrogant ! And changing the subject . It has nothing to do with me . I’m using it as an example , where I can have empathy , as I went through something similar. Where as you have zero , for obvious reasons .
What you’re failing to see is the cognitive dissonance of everyone .
Does a mum who is struggling working from home , with a house full of kids , value thier own experience less than a nurse who goes to work in highly contagious environments 12 hours a day ? Does she value her own sacrifice less . I would argue no! She would try and convince herself , but her descriptive in her bubble is of as great of a value as the nurse . Because she doesn’t know the nurse . If the nurse is her husband , then her value would obviously more .
On a non Covid topic it’s the same reason why people can watch a genocide in Africa and go “that sux” , but if thier neighbours daughter falls down the well , then they will go out of their way to help .
And before you say it’s not relevant . It’s exactly the same thing mentally . The warriors sacrifice , for them in thier experience would have anywhere from zero to infinite value. Even though a whole bunch of nurses would have died in Italy , Uk etc .
So if all that is true , and it is , then when they chose to sacrifice , they were choosing to give up thier most precious commodity , time .

This is true, but by your own definition, why should our club care more than other clubs. Surely our guys, within their own bubble looked at the Warriors, said "that sux" and then carried on ripping cones or whatever it was they got up to?

They didn’t give up time. They were paid. A job. It’s providing a goods and or service for the exchange of money or shiny rocks.



Again, your long nonsensical posts show you have some shit to work through man so no need to tag me in. I believe in you and agree with whatever point you make. Good luck.

Because for whatever reason there’s no cognitive dissonance there . Much like the mum with the nurse husband .
Look man , I don’t want them to take the game to nz either , but I also understand why we feel indebted to them . Even though I personally don’t.
And people are right , why are we the only club who feels this . For that I have no answer.
I’m merely commenting on the idea that it isn’t a sacrifice. Because that’s bullshit.
And no amount of dead nurses in Italy, UK etc . Changes that . That’s a harsh thing to say , but it’s true . Fresh oil is talking in shoulds , I’m talking is what is.
And as I said before , in terms of the nrl , and the mismanagement of the rainy day fund , and how on thier knees they were early Covid , the value that the warriors provided to keep the nrl going , in that specific bubble , is worth an infinite amount of Covid deaths , unfortunately.
It’s a shit thing to talk about , and even harder for us in our altruism selves to admit . But it’s the truth . Outside of I think on average for most people , like 50 people , where are incapable of truely caring beyond that . It’s an evolutionary thing.
Anyways I’ve explained this 3 times .

What are you talking about ? Work is only 8 hrs a day . What about the other 16 ? Lol whatever dude . You’re wrong . I don’t need to be right . It’s science mate
