Everybody's got a choice to make as we break down Dany's little bout of incoming psychosis, Sansa's top level scheming, Tyrion and Varys' returns to absolute prominence and whatever the hell else seemed worth talking about at this point, basically.

After a little motivational wisdom to begin, it's time for the Steven Adams debrief, as WC and the Doc break down why he's not about to be traded by OKC, what he and his team's path to playoff success looks like next season, as well a bit about how he can improve. Plus there's some Sean Marks adoration in there too because of course there is.

Going down 18-36 to Newcastle Knights, New Zealand Warriors weren't bad, they just didn't show up to legit win the game. Low energy, buzz and enthusiasm saw the game slip away ... at least Kodi Nikorima's coming. Plus some general NRL chat, zoning in on Manase Fainu's impressive work for Manly Sea Eagles.

New Zealand Warriors are at Mt Smart to host Newcastle Knights this Sunday and there's this noisey noise about Kodi Nikorima heading back to Aotearoa to join the Warriors. Plenty of nooks to explore there, then at around 20mins it's time to slide into the two reserve grade competitions to take a look at the #KiwiNRL reserve graders. Followed by a #KiwiNRL break down of the round 8 team lists.

Did Arya for real just save the whole of Westeros? Are there more secrets from the Night King that’ll come to light in the future? Were the forces of winter a little too easy to beat in the end? Did Bran just outwit the Night King by that much? Is the show losing its identity as it moves off-book? What about the dead Starks in the crypts? Where the hell do we go from here? Is this too many questions?

Plenty of rugby league antics to catch up on in the first of what will hopefully be many New Zealand Warriors/NRL specific Niche Casts. The Warriors haven't been winning and haven't had much luck, yet a strong performance against Melbourne Storm showed signs of life. Storm and Roosters have some crucial #KiwiNRL players as they lead the NRL.

Chatting over the latest delicious helping of Thrones with some theories about the Night King, a bit of death pool speculation, a celebration of a classic episode spent hanging out with our faves over a single tense evening, and the trend towards female empowerment on this show.

Can't really say much without dropping spoilers, but Game of Thrones, season eight episode one. Deep dive reaction from the TNC crew. We've got Tyrion, Sansa, a flaming message, chilly temperatures, R+L=J, and all the rest of it.

Here we are five weeks into the NRL for 2019 and the Warriors have a losing record but there's no reason to panic as they haven't even figured out their best seventeen yet. We've got yarns on Issac Luke's future prominence once he's at full fitness, the best halves combo moving forward, Nathaniel Roache's sneaky importance and plenty else.

Kiwi/Nigerian mixed martial arts extraordinaire Israel Adesanya's doing his thing this weekend against Kelvin Gastelum and there's a shot at the interim title on the line. We break down the ramifications of this fight upon the Kiwi UFC realm, as well as the stylistic matchup and basically just what's gonna happen in Atlanta this weekend.
