Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line podcast We are on the final stretch. With only 6 games remaining of the regular season there is a heck of a lot that needs to be decided.

Whil...

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line podcast What an exciting time to be a fan of rugby league with the release of a brand new game, but instead of being a time to be joyful, fans seem united in disagreement. We look over some of the player ratings for each team and see if they are accurate *spoiler they ain’t* The Warriors took another step closer towards a top 4 finish with a la...

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line podcast. No Metcalf, no problem. After the first 2mins fans would have been worried that the unthinkable was about to happen, but the Wahs got into gear and put on a dominate display against the Tigers. A lot of chatter had been about Metcalf’s season ending injury and if the team had the depth to carry them over the line, or would this be the...

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast The Warriors have suffered back to back loses for the first time this year, but it may not be the loss fans are thinking about.

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast The Warriors suffered a tough defeat at home thanks to a Panthers team that was lacking a few starters, so was last week’s break a help or a hinderance for the Wahs?

Teddy is away, so we have gone to the bench and replaced him with an absolute legend in Phillipa Morris from Trackside. With Pip being a Panthers fan, we have to ask are the fans already waving the white flag this year? Blake Ayshford retires from gambling… only to return a few seconds later. Quite the emotional roller coaster. We launch the campaign to bring back the good ole fashioned chip and c...

Teddy joins us for the final time before going on a long break, so does he have a few  choice words before he leaves the Advantage Line. We try to look through the evidence to see if those “Massive Signing” rumours are true are merely a cruel April Fool’s joke? Speaking of signings, who has been the Warrior’s biggest ever signing, and we get overly technical with it. Of course, it was another big...

In semi-breaking news, Dylan Walker has left the Warriors so Teddy and Searley give us their raw reaction to the news, but it appears there is a positive spin to this story. In this week’s good, bad and ugly the Warriors were good, while winning ugly. Speaking of the Warriors, how will the Warriors move on after the injury to RTS? In other big news that came out this week, DCE live TV announcement...

Karl gives us an overview of his Vegas travels. What do the trio think of the event in Vegas, was it a celebration of Rugby League and what can be improved next year. Teddy is already asking for changes after the first game in Vegas, and Teddy must have said something strange as Karl agrees with him at one point. We have a cheeky game of guess who, who out of Paul and Teddy will be able to guess o...
