NRL Podcasts

Can’t say I’ve spent much time on the Waffle. TBH the one time I did listen I thought it was largely a bit of a piss take, which is fine if that’s your/their jam, but not my thing.

As I mentioned when I opened this thread, my favourite remains This Warriors Life. Will, Brad and Fonzie do a great job and bring different perspectives to the table while having a good laugh with it. Will’s historical knowledge of the game and the Warriors is incredible and an element of it I really enjoy.

But a couple of others that I’ve listened to more often recently and thought I’d share:

Big League Podcast which often has Michael Burgess on. He’s got a lot of inside knowledge of the club as a dedicated league journo. Calls a spade a spade.

Running it straight with Gello and Sam Hewitt is a regular listen for me still. A good balance between inside Warriors knowledge, some laughs, and a wider look at the NRL.

League of Our Own with Blair and Goran. Gives a good wide view of the NRL with a Kiwi focus, and lots of Warriors chat.
 
Do any of you listen regularly to hello sport? Only listened to a few of their podcasts but they really do get on my nerve. Typical one-eyed manly supporters who have so much hate for the wahs. Even had a go at us in their last podcast. I get that our fanbase, like any others, has rabid elements that can go a bit crazy sometimes online. But to call us all "sad" is a bit rich.

I’ve only heard them on Bloke in a bar.
I can’t listen for more than a few minutes, just shit jokes and seem to be guys that want the spotlight.
To be fair I’ve only listened twice and now avoid them so maybe I didn’t give them a fair crack.

I fucking hate Manly!
 
Yes, you can make an argument about the quality of some of our opposition.

However, you also need to look at what the expectations were for the Warriors coming out of 2024 and coming into this season.

Also with the opposition it depends on when you played them. Their recent form, their injuries, your injuries. A fighter can have big names on their resume but fought them past their prime or lost to a few but took them on before they were ready.

Manly were coming off a big win. They have fell off a bit since then

The Roosters were coming off a good win against the Panthers. No one knew the Panthers were going to fall off the way they have.

Souths put 30 on us. Not a premiership threat. The Storm have had 42, 31 put on them. The Raiders 40, 30, 28. The Broncos 42, 44. Should we right them off?

I know for the above they pointed out Souths and the quality of the opposition. The above points most of those games those sides lost. Those teams are the other teams currently in the top 4.

We've beaten 9 different teams this year- that's half the comp. It's pretty ridiculous for them to be suggesting that half the comp are bad, given how tight and open it is this year. It's also a bit rich given that many of these teams they suggest are poor quality are teams that have actually beaten Manly this year. So their perspective just comes off as bitter that we are doing better than Manly. I'd also point out that most of our wins on our hot streak have been on the road (we've only played at mt smart twice since rd 3). That includes 4 games in Aussie out of our last 5, all of which we have won. That's pretty incredible when you consider how many of the poorly performing teams this year have had their schedule front loaded with home games (ie Manly, Broncos, Dragons, etc).

Really hope all the "why the fuck doesnt Dal just stay on his man" edge defence experts (which there are plenty on the match day forum) watch this.

Not for one minute saying he doesnt make bad reads but geez it grinds my gears when everyone gets on his (and any wingers) case when its the inside defenders that have been caught short and the wingers left in no mans land.

Your on a hiding to nothing defending on the wing
