Can the Warriors continue their march to the finals?

You better believe they can, and yesterday's hard fought win over the Storm (the reigning premiers, no less) shows they're still in with a good chance of a finals spot.

The Warriors have won four games in a row, and their recent form has been well timed as the race for the Top 8 heats up.

The Storm are never easy, and today was certainly no different - the 8-6 scoreline shows just how close this one was. Really, the fourty meter penalty from Lance Hohia was the only thing separating the two sides.

The Warriors defence has improved remarkably over the past five-six weeks, and if they can make the Top 8 they're a real chance of matching it with the top four sides in the comp.

Next up on the Warriors hunting list - the Bunnies.

In other NRL news, Bulldogs star Sonny Bill Williams has walked away from his current five year contract, after serving only one year of it. He has apparently signed a two year deal with Toulon, a French rugby side (Tana Umaga's team), for around 3.4 million dollars.

The Bulldogs bosses are looking at taking legal action, and news of the courts becoming involved has surfaced today.

NRL boss David Gallop has stated that he fully supports the Bulldogs in whatever they decide to do - and at this stage, the future isn't looking too good for Williams.

Gallop has talked about a lifetime ban from the NRL, and if they hold Williams to his contract, he won't be playing in either code.

It's just at that point with Williams, isn't it? He thinks he's bigger than the game, and unfortunately he's about to learn the hard way that once you sign a contract - you see it out.

It's a real shame to lose a star like Sonny Bill (especially for the Kiwis!), but at the end of the day, you can't let players do whatever they like, when they like. He's an employee - are other employees you know that reckless? We think not.

Time to get your priorities straight, Sonny (ha) - it's not all about the money, baby.
