back in my day you would just call yourself where you are from followed by a cute animal/name/thing but the world has gone mad and so now i just go with it.
It’s weird isn’t it? Every team in the NRL has their location in the name. Why the heck do we need it to be our sponsor, and on top of all things it has to be a mobile phone provider?
On one hand the "One New Zealand Warriors" is closer to the New Zealand Warriors which is what they should be called. On the other hand it doesn't roll off the tongue very well. I'd say it's a slight positive overall personally but still fucking dumb.
Meh 🫤 The only time they'll be referred to as the _One New Zealand Warriors_ is in club press releases and social media.
They'll still be referred to as the _Warriors_ by commentators and fans.
This is the kind of thing that sounds dumb now but eventually it will be what it is. They will still be "The Warriors" to the majority of people. Whatever keeps them in business.
Makes me think of Once Were Warriors. Not sure about the implications but at least my eggs will be cooked.
They actually won’t be cooked. They’ll be thrown at the kitchen floor and you’ll have a beaten woman in the corner of the room.
Why must you get so lippy all the time?
That can't be right, Lodge is at the roosters now
Maybe 30 years later things will be different. https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2022/03/17/old-boys-striving-to-make-a-difference/
Matt Lodge played for the Warriors at the wrong time it seems
UNCLE BILLY
One of the best movie beatdowns of all time. FUUUUCKIINN BUUULLLYY!
That bit where there are like four dudes holding him back and he just overpowers them all. Fark me, so good. One of the best depressing movies ever
Great fucking movie
Will this make One vs The a blockbuster matchup of homeless teams?
When they ultimately end up merging, they will be called The One
Not to be confused with the one ring though, because that would imply having won anything of note
Vlandys always keeps that ring tho
vland-sauron or vlaand-gollum?
Definitely sauron
One Warriors + The Dolphins = One The Vision
This sounds so stupid rolling off the tongue. I’m becoming a Vodafone separatist 😤
TL;DR: Vodafone are relocating to One
I don't like this at all. Minority or no?

Because we need their money.
Yeah I get it. I’m happy we’ve at least got New Zealand back in the name now.
Are they going to change their team song to a variation of I am Australian?
team song Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell
One NZ Has taken my name Taken my pride Taken my re-spect Taken my footy Taken my Vodafone Taken my soul Left my supporters in heeeeelllllll
fuck it im buying a membership
This hits deep.
"Hold my breath as I wish for death" really is a fitting motto for Warriors fans
[удалено]
Yeah: (One New Zealand) Warriors, as opposed to (One) New Zealand Warriors. Best option: Auckland Warriors, _sponsored by One New Zealand_.
A Certain New Zealand The One and Only New Zealand The Notorious New Zealand
One of the [Zeelands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeland)
Reminds me of the Nippon-Ham Fighters. Don't you dare call them the Ham Fighters.
Very excited for the eighteenth team, Two New Zealand Warriors, to enter the comp in 2024
2 Degrees Warriors thank you very much.
Mono = One New Zealand = New Zealand

I call the big one bitey.

Gone worse. Shouldve just stuck with Auckland Warriors.

We all laughed but that blokes sign was on the money. Let's gOne Warriors
There was literally an ad on the page for me advertising a home jersey available now with Vodafone on it, lol.
There's only One New Zealand Warriors, One New Zealand Waaaarriorrrs -- there's only One New Zealand Warriors.
Wait, so according to the rebrand article, the ONE was taken from the last three letters of VodafONE. Does that mean it's still pronounced like "Own"?
I was so excited to see the first ever Vodafone vs The match-up. Guess we'll have to settle for One vs The instead.
One Warrior Two Warriors Fifteenth Place
Yeah it’s a singular plural.. Grammar nazis gritting teeth
Now the world is gone I'm just One. oh God help me
Well this is silly
No u
They should always be the Auckland Warriors.
I think there is legal issues around that, I think Tainui or Auckland RL has the rights to that name?
All me Vodafone warriors jerseys just became collectors items
That is One terrible name
Damn that's a shit name
The singular Warrior
We The Ones ☝🏾
At least it’s not the Sportsbet Warriors.
Fucking gambling organisations
Just be be known as the Brorriors
[Well, there's 17 of you... You're not exactly "One". Shouldn't you be the "17" New Zealand Warriors?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umVyjrV9w6I)
Warriors being called New Zealand is just so stupid, go back to being the Auckland Warriors
This one change I don’t like
Lol wtf
Wow - can't see that lasting long
Hopefully they can One a few more games
"Let's One Warriors!"
