    Tony Kemp Podcast: Where to now for Warriors after record NRL loss to Gold Coast Titans?
    Jun 24 2024
    Episode 15 of the Tony Kemp Podcast is here! Every Monday during the 2024 NRL season, Kemp - the former Warriors coach and Kiwis representative - is joined by Martin Devlin, renowned New Zealand sports broadcaster and now host of It's Only Sport on The Platform. Together, they recap all the main talking points in rugby league's biggest club competition.

    This week's podcast focuses heavily on the Warriors' horrendous 66-6 defeat at the hands of the Titans on the Gold Coast on Saturday - the club's equal-worst defeat ever (alongside their 70-10 loss to the Melbourne Storm on Anzac Day in 2022). After three impressive wins in a row and holding a 14-0 lead 18 minutes into last weeks' loss to the Storm, life has taken a turn for the worst in a matter of days for the club and its fan base. The Warriors sit 13th on the ladder with a six-win, one-draw, eight-loss record with nine games to play. Is the top eight now an unlikely achievement for coach Andrew Webster and his players?

    Podcast schedule...

    -Up The Wahs - a segment that Kempy and Marty dedicate solely to chatting about the Warriors. All eyes are on that 60-point defeat at the hands of the Titans for the Warriors. Who/What is to blame? Will selection changes by coach Webster make a difference or are there bigger issues at the club?
