This week, our usual “Verdictors” (is that even a word?), Goran and Ravinder, are joined by All Blacks great Stephen “Beaver” Donald.

No surprises as to which team the Chiefs legend is picking in the Super Rugby Aotearoa final, while Goran has no doubt the Crusaders will add another trophy to their cabinet.

The panel also debates whether New Zealand rugby needs the Trans-Tasman competition with Australia.

One of New Zealand’s most experienced, and polished, broadcasters joins us on The Verdict again, with Tony Johnson locking horns with Sky Sport’s Goran Paladin. Ravinder Hunia, as usual, keeps the peace.

This week, with the Super Rugby Aotearoa finalists sorted, we ponder whether the Blues were the biggest flops of the competition.

The panel also discusses the proposed Silver Lake investment in New Zealand rugby, and what lessons were learned from their attempted move into European football.

And we end with the mooted two-tier NRL competition, and the addition of a new kiwi team.

Kiwi rugby league great Adam Blair joins the team this week to debate whether All Blacks playmaker TJ Perenara would be a success in the NRL.

Hint: Adam thinks he’d be a sensation. Goran Paladin argues that he should stay in the 15-man code, while Ravinder Hunia tries to keep the peace.

They also discuss what makes the annual ANZAC NRL game so special, and the topic on everyone’s lips, the proposed Super League in European football.

With the ANZ Premiership about to get underway, it's a netball fiesta on The Verdict this week!

Former Silver Fern Courtney Tairi goes head to head with fellow Sky Sport netball host, Goran Paladin.

They debate who they think will win the title this season, and which coach is under the most pressure.

As usual, Ravinder Hunia acts as judge and jury.

Kiwis great Adam Blair returns for a rugby league debate with Goran Paladin!

This week, they argue over the Warriors form over the first few weeks of the NRL. Are they a better team than their mid-table position suggests? Incredibly, Adam thinks the Warriors can still make the Grand Final… and the Storm will miss the finals!

They also lock horns over the bottom of the ladder, fighting over which team will finish with the dreaded wooden spoon.

Ravinder Hunia, as always, acts as judge and jury.

Sky Sport presenter, Kirstie Stanway, makes her debut on The Verdict!

She debates with Goran Paladin over the potential relaxing of State Of Origin eligibility rules (whilst outing herself as a Maroons supporter), and argues the case for her beloved Chiefs making the Super Rugby final.

Ravinder Hunia, as always, acts as judge and jury.

All Blacks great, Mils Muliaina is back on the panel, alongside Ravinder Hunia and Goran Paladin, as they debate the big stories in New Zealand sport.

After tipping the Blues last week, Mils doubles down, arguing that the Crusaders aren’t sure things to win another Super Rugby title.

As host of Sky Sport’s NRL coverage, you’d think Goran would have it all over Mils in a rugby league debate, but he more than holds his own over the effect injuries will play on the Warriors’ season. Can they still make the eight?

All Blacks great, Mils Muliaina, joins Ravinder Hunia and Goran Paladin on the show for the first time this year!

To celebrate, Goran doesn’t hold back on whether the new NRL rules are better than rugby’s updated rules.

They also debate who’ll win this weekend’s Eden Park battle between the Blues and Crusaders.

To finish, they talk up the need for a draft to be introduced in Super Rugby.

There's no love lost between Mils and Goran!

Kiwi league great, and Sky Sport presenter, Adam Blair, joins Ravinder Hunia and Goran Paladin to debate the week’s hot topics.

With the NRL kicking off this week, they discuss the big questions: can the Warriors win the premiership? Yes, you read that correctly. Can they win the whole thing this year? Adam makes a compelling case that that can indeed go all the way and win that elusive maiden title.

They also throw some big names around to replace Roger Tuivasa-Sheck next season, and ask Adam if he misses playing footy.

The team finishes by discussing the future of kiwi UFC fighter Israel Adesanya.

Silver Ferns great, and Sky Sport presenter, Leana de Bruin, joins Ravinder Hunia and Goran Paladin to debate the week’s hot topics.

In this episode, Goran and Leana butt heads over whether the Constellation Cup series is a fair fight between the battle-hardened kiwis, and youthful Aussies, and if New Zealand netball needs star imports in the ANZ Premiership. Goran does his best to defend the signing of Caitlin Bassett, but Leana isn’t impressed.
