New Zealand Warriors had a win in the NRL and loss in NRLW vs Gold Coast Titans, both of which highlighted fundamental aspects of their footy. Warriors have individual brilliance in NRLW but are struggling to keep up with the speed of the league while Warriors are scoring points all across the park in NRL, can bounce back from losses and had excellent contributions from local juniors vs Titans.

The Sunday Triple M NRL Catch Up - Paul Kent, Gorden Tallis, Ryan Girdler, Anthony Maroon
Anthony Maroon is taking over hosting duties this week and is joined by News Corp duo David Riccio & Brent Read! One of the major stories of the year unfolded over the weekend after Tongan and Melbourne Storm star Eli Katoa was rushed to hospital after suffering three head knocks against New Zealand. Both Ready & Riccio vented their frustrations over the handling of the situation as investigations continue. The NRL announced their new anti-tampering rules and both journos try to make sense of a confusing rule. Tony Mestrov and Manly Sea Eagles have parted ways as the club’s messy 2025 continues well into the off season. England are in the spotlight after a poor Ashes and head coach Shaun Wane’s future is in question, as major names have been thrown up to take over. There is more November 1 market updates whilst Maroon has a very hot take on the future of the Gold Coast Titans!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Sunday Triple M NRL Catch Up - Paul Kent, Gorden Tallis, Ryan Girdler, Anthony Maroon
The Kangaroos have claimed The Ashes and now brace for a clean-sweep! But Michael Chammas, Danny Weidler & Adam Peacock are back to review the fallout from Game Two! Reece Walsh unfortunately copped homophobic slurs from some of the English fans and Chammas spoke to the fullback after the game. And the number 1 had a cheeky response in true Reece Walsh fashion. The crew discuss potential changes to the Kangaroos squad for Game Three and break down what happened with prankster Matt Jarvis who lined up with the Aussie team for the anthem! Chammas also chatted with Cameron Munster who had an honest reflection about his former Melbourne Storm teammate Ryan Papenhuyzen who last week surprisingly walked away from his contract with the club. The boys reflect on Eliesa Katoa who copped three head knocks and how that whole process was handled as New Zealand made light work of Tonga. Matthew Johns is now minority owner of Gold Coast Titans and Weidler has the latest on how that unfolded. Keaon Koloamatangi is testing the open market and is asking for a lot of money. Could he leave Souths? And why is Danny Weidler a jahesh?! (A donkey in Arabic). Michael Chammas explains!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
