DSPN - RUGBY

It's Tuesday, which means Big League Tuesday (BLT) on the DSPN! Host Martin Devlin is joined by former Warriors coach and Kiwis representative Tony Kemp. Together they review round six of the 2025 NRL season, which included a heavy 42-14 defeat for the Warriors against the Storm in Melbourne. Marty and Kempy focus on that result, and how outplayed the Warriors were, particularly in the first half. They also touch on injury concerns for the Warriors, their ability to bounce back against the Brisbane Broncos this weekend, and how pleased we can be with their 3-2 start to the season. Marty and Kempy wrap things up talking about Kiwis icon and former Sydney Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, who has announced his retirement from rugby league.

DSPN host Martin Devlin welcomes New Zealand rugby royalty onto the podcast, in the form of Murray Mexted. The two talk all sorts of rugby with Super Rugby Pacific for 2025 passing the halfway mark, and All Blacks selection debates on the tips of people's tongues. Marty and Mex discuss Scott Barrett and whether he should retain the All Black captaincy, the relationship between a captain and coach, and the importance of loose forwards specialising at one role as opposed to being good at all three. Mex shares his insights on how the dynamics of provincial and national team selections vary, how the grassroots game has been forgotten by the current and previous NZ Rugby administrations, and why having world-class players in key positions is vital. The two also touch on Super Rugby and how competitive it is.

DSPN host Martin Devlin is joined by Penrith and New South Wales rugby league legend Mark Geyer. Together they review the NRL after five weeks of the 2025 season. The big surprise has been the poor form of the Panthers, who are 1-4 and sitting equal last. As well as that, the Bulldogs are a perfect 5-0, the Broncos and Storm both sit inside the top four, and the Warriors are enjoying a good start to the year. Marty and MG talk about Penrith performances and player losses, and the impact of not having a home ground. They also discuss the Bulldogs' defensive prowess under coach Cameron Ciraldo, the Cowboys' two bounce-back wins, the impact of Daly Cherry-Evans' end of year exit on the Sea Eagles, and much more.
