Nothing builds energy in stadiums quite like a good chant.\xa0

Last week the Warriors demolished the Newcastle Knights, 40-10, and a packed-out 26,083 crowd celebrated their victory with a roaring rendition of the team\u2019s chant.\xa0

The chant was created over twenty years ago by kiwi music icon Peter Urlich, and was previously only sung within the privacy of the sheds.\xa0

Urlich told Mike Hosking that hearing the fans take up the chant felt like they were throwing down the shackles of their reticent selves.\xa0

He said it was like they were a part of the team.\xa0
