The Warriors are rolling into town in Round 9 as The Tip Sheet previews a trio of contests against the New Zealand franchise across the NRL, NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg. Craig, John and Chris go into extra depth in the Flegg and Cup this week as the Eels make some bold calls surrounding the acceleration of some talented prospects including Cameron Bamblett, Ryda Talagi and Chris Petrus. Parramatta were let down by a sloppy third quarter against the red hot Sea Eagles last week - can they lock in for the 2nd placed Warriors on Saturday?

Wests Tigers are doing well under kiwi coach Benji Marshall and Charlisse Leger-Walker is also doing rather well, having won an NCAA championship and joining a small list of New Zealand basketballers getting drafted into the WNBA/NBA. NBL basketball just started so we check in with that highlighting kiwis to watch out for before rolling into some football chat with Football Ferns chasing World Cup qualification and Chris Wood's return to Nottingham Forest. We also discuss Chris Greenacre as Wellington Phoenix coach and Auckland FC's fun draw vs Melbourne Victory in which they showed how impressive their development system already is.

NZ Warriors are winning across their top three grades and that gives us lots to chat about, from Brandon Norris to Tanah Boyd and all the kiwis in between.

White Ferns have named their T20I squad to play South Africa as well and Brett Randell wasn't the only Plunket Shield bowler to take 7 wickets with Otago's Thomas O'Connor showing New Zealand's depth with delightful left-arm swing. NZ Warriors dished out plenty of offloads against Sydney Roosters and we'll have to wait to see if this is a new addition to their footy, while the Jersey Flegg Cup Warriors played their first game of the season so we offer some deep cuts there. Siale Faeamani made his NRL debut for Titans which means two Kiwi-NRL players made debuts in the first round along with Setu Tu. Both Aotearoa A-League men's teams had draws although the vibes are completely different as Auckland FC prepare for a monster battle vs Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix aren't changing much.

Cautious optimism from Warriors league coach Andrew Webster that his side can make another NRL leap this year. They start their campaign tomorrow against the Sydney Roosters at Mount Smart without co-captain Mitch Barnett and halfback Luke Metcalf, as both are returning from knee injuries. Webster told Mike Hosking that last year's opening match serves as a reminder of over evaluating a pre-season. He says they're comfortable where they are, but until you get punched in the face round one, you don't really know where you're at. The Warriors finished sixth last year, exiting in the first round of the finals to Penrith. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the industry, they call it the 'second season'. Only eight teams remain as the NRL gears up for a finals series rich with storylines. What are the narratives that will define finals time? Maybe it's the Panthers seeking to find innovative ways to win the title, again. Perhaps it's the Roosters harnessing star power old and new. The infrastructure of the Storm. The complicated momentum of Brisbane. The romaticism and excellence of Canberra. Finals season is here. Featured: Nick Campton, NRL reporter, ABC Sport. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
