Tony Kemp is BACK on the DSPN, joining Martin Devlin to review round eight of the 2025 NRL season. The Warriors continued their winning ways, beating the Newcastle Knights 26-12 on Anzac Day. The New Zealand club has a 5-2 record and sit firmly inside the top four. What went right for the Wahs against the Knights? Kempy talks about that as well as the poor showing from Newcastle, the importance of the Warriors building a winning run around the State of Origin period, and the rise of young forward Leka Halasima. The club NEEDS to lock Halasima down on a long-term deal,, according to Kempy, otherwise he will become another Eliesa Katoa.
