The Warriors’ all-comers record dates back to 1996 when the Auckland Warriors put together a run of 12 wins in the days when the New South Wales Rugby League’s reserve grade embraced Winfield Cup clubs from across the competition including the 1995 newcomers the Warriors, North Queensland, South Queensland and the Western Reds.
In their run they dismissed Western Suburbs 22-6, South Sydney 46-0, Gold Coast 31-10, Western Reds 13-8, South Queensland 25-16, North Queensland 40-4, St George 16-0, Canterbury Bankstown 22-10, Canberra 32-0, Brisbane 16-8 and then, in the play-offs, Sydney City 19-18 and Brisbane 18-12 before losing the grand final 12-14 to Cronulla Sutherland.

In all the 1996 Warriors won 17 of 18 games on the way to the grand final, a run this year’s team has all but matched as well with 16 wins in 17 games to date.
Guided by Kiwi coach Frank Endacott, the 1996 playing group included Nigel Vagana (the team's top try scorer with 17), Aaron Whittaker (the top points scorer with 166), Awen Guttenbeil, Hitro Okesene, Phil Blake, Tony Tatupu, Anthony Swann, Gavin Hill, Iva Ropati, Paul Rauhihi, Logan Swann, Shane Endacott, Bryan Henare, Aaron Lester, Paul Staladi and Doc Murray plus former All Black Mark Carter.
The leading points scorer for the 2025 NSW Cup side is Tanah Boyd with 137 points while the top try scorers are Moala Graham-Taufa (11) and Kayliss Fatialofa (10) while Edward Kosi, Geronimo Doyle, Setu Tu and Daeon Amituanai have seven each.
It was Kosi who grabbed a decisive brace of tries in the Warriors’ win over the Magpies on Sunday.
With right winger Sio Kali scoring on the right flank in the eighth minute and returning centre following up on same side in the 15th, Kosi provided a one-two punch in the left corner later in the half to have the Warriors in control 22-0 at halftime.

They had been impressive shifting to the right for an unmarked Kali to score while Kali tapped back a Luke Hanson bomb for Leiataua’s try. Healey threaded a grubber into the in-goal area for Kosi to nab his first try before Jett Cleary cleverly toed a loose off load to the left where Hanson and Graham-Taufa combined to put Kosi in for his second.
The second half became a battle, though, as a lopsided penalty count impacted on the Warriors getting their game on, not to mention having Bunty Afoa sin binned in the 62nd minute.
While he was off former Penrith centre Taylan May scored and then added two more tries late in the contest to complete a hat-trick.
The Warriors moved up to 36 points, still five ahead of the Dragons in second, with eight games to play.
