Richard Becht
Richard Becht focuses on detailed, inside-club coverage of the Warriors’ rugby league teams, tracking selections, injuries, results and organisational moves across grades.
He writes news, team lists, match reports and recovery updates that give a clear, official view of the club’s on-field and off-field activities.
NRL team lists and squad updates
Becht regularly publishes NRL team list pieces that set out the full match-day seventeen, positional changes and the impact of representative commitments or injuries on selection.
His coverage highlights who drops out through Origin duty or injury and who returns or debuts, such as pieces that note playmakers coming back, outside backs rejoining the side or young forwards entering the squad.
He follows through with confirmed lineup articles and late team updates, documenting decisions like a key half being omitted on game day and how the reshuffled spine and bench are configured.
These stories are concise and information-heavy, designed to give supporters and stakeholders an immediate picture of the Warriors’ available talent for each round.
Match reports across Warriors pathways
Beyond the NRL side, Becht reports on results and performances in the Warriors’ other squads, including detailed match reports on the NSW Cup and SG Ball teams.
These pieces reconstruct the flow of games, from heavy defeats to dramatic turnarounds, and explain how tactical adjustments, individual contributions and momentum swings shape the final scorelines.
He places particular emphasis on resilience and development, chronicling efforts where a team engineers a large-point recovery or mounts a comeback that falls just short.
By consistently covering these grades, he gives visibility to emerging players and coaches and connects the club’s pathway competitions to the main NRL narrative.
Club announcements, contracts and partnerships
Becht also handles official club announcements, writing on contract extensions, new signings and long-term partnerships with broadcasters and sponsors.
His coverage includes stories on promising forwards joining the organisation, existing players extending their deals through future seasons and the club securing broadcast and technology agreements that run well into the next decade.
He writes on jersey launches and Indigenous Round designs, explaining the cultural ideas and visual elements behind new strips as part of the club’s wider identity.
These articles sit at the intersection of performance and business, showing how roster decisions and commercial arrangements support the Warriors’ long-term plans.
Injury, recovery and game day information
Another recurring strand of Becht’s work is health and logistics reporting, where he collates injury, rehabilitation and availability updates for both the NRL and NRLW squads.
Recovery reports detail which players are sidelined, who is progressing through return-to-play protocols and how timelines align with upcoming fixtures.
He complements this with game day guides that spell out kick-off times, venue information and operational details for major home fixtures and finals, ensuring supporters know how and when to engage with the team.
Together, these pieces round out his role as a central source of timely, club-side information on the Warriors’ rugby league operations.

He focuses on sports media, ownership and era‑defining stars, tracking how broadcasting, business and masculinity shape what fans see and feel. His work ranges across football, basketball, US sports media and cricket, with recurring attention to US television networks, commentators, podcasts and the “sports bros” manosphere, and to governance, regulation and money in elite football.

Timms has also written for The Sydney Morning Herald, Salon, The Daily Beast, The New York Times and The New York Review of Books.
Adrian Proszenko
Adrian Proszenko is distinct for treating rugby league as a year-round ecosystem, with hard-news reporting on the NRL and the off-field decisions that shape it. He is a senior rugby league reporter for The Age, covering the NRL, State of Origin and elite club competitions. His beat spans player movement, governance and the business of the sport, with frequent reporting on squad changes, injuries, judiciary outcomes, selection calls, contracts, salary cap pressure and club politics. He also covers expansion discussions, franchise bids, venue decisions, broadcast and scheduling issues, and industrial disputes. His work relies on sourced detail from coaches, agents, club officials, administrators and players, and he uses reported news, direct quotes and specific facts to explain how decisions are made and what they mean.
Andrew Wu
Andrew Wu is a sports journalist at The Age whose AFL work uses game nights, especially for big clubs, to test how well teams are built, focusing on structure, depth and pressure rather than just the score. He writes where individual star performances meet system-wide problems, asking why a side can fail even when its marquee players deliver. His match analysis treats each game as evidence in a larger case about a club’s direction, with clear, direct reporting built from player roles, match‑ups and key passages that reveal mentality and adaptability. Wu covers major codes, particularly AFL and cricket, bringing a cross‑code view of how teams manage form, fatigue and selection over long seasons. He is drawn to list balance, system integrity and whether clubs and national sides can turn talent into reliable performance with stakes beyond a single match.
Andrew van Leeuwen
Andrew van Leeuwen covers top-level motorsport with a focus on how rules, governance and competitive dynamics shape what happens on track. He writes for Speedcafe about Supercars and international series, treating officiating and regulation as core competitive factors rather than background noise. His reporting follows how race control and judicial processes influence Supercars outcomes, unpacking stewards’ calls, penalties, protests and appeals and linking them to points, grids and race results. He also runs the week-to-week Supercars beat, tracking race weekends, team form, strategy, technical changes, balance of performance shifts and the driver market. Team principals and drivers feature heavily in his coverage of car development, engineering changes and intra-team dynamics. He consistently explains Gen3 regulations, parity debates, format and calendar changes, and covers major global series through the lens of governance, commercial shifts and high-level regulatory change.
