Warriors on ANZAC 'Knight' - where's our trip to Melbourne? | League Of Our Own S2 EP9
With the Warriors set to play their traditional ANZAC Day fixture this Friday, Blairy & Goran wonder if a match against the Newcastle Knights in Christchurch carries the same weight as an annual trip to Melbourne to face the Storm. What would you rather?Luke Metcalf earns praise for his massive stones against the Broncos, Jackson Ford does too after stepping up in the absence of Te Ika, The Fish - James Fisher-Harris.Poor Benji Marshall has brought back Lachlan Galvin for the Tigers, so the circus at Wests gains momentum! How, as a coach, do you integrate back into the side a player that has caused such huge disruption? That's one of the many predicaments facing Benji right now.And Goran takes a different approach to the Betcha This Happens multi... all on this episode of League Of Our Own!

James Fisher-Harris is OUT! Te Maire is BACK as Benji's Tigers GALVIN-ized | League Of Our Own - S2 EP8
As the Warriors prepare for their 30th Anniversary match with the Brisbane Broncos, the news that nobody wanted to hear: co-captain James Fisher-Harris will be sidelined for between 4 and 6 weeks with a pectoral injury. Blairy & Goran discuss how his absence will be felt, and the leadership void in general given he joins RTS, DWZ and CNK as 'unavailables'.However, in some good news, Te Maire Martin is BACK via the bench! While Goran looks forward to how he can influence the game, Blairy has a unique perspective on what Coach Webster will do with him!And with the Lachlan Galvin story exploding across the ditch, we spare a thought for Benji Marshall and how he negotiates yet another difficult period in his short head coaching career in the NRL.

How can the NZ Warriors snap a 16-game Storm losing streak? | League Of Our Own - S2 EP7
After a decade of torment, Blairy & Goran attempt to plot a course to victory for the NZ Warriors against the mighty Melbourne Storm! Blairy talks about his experiences in this fixture, having played for both sides, and how Tawera Nikau was a big factor in building him up for matches AGAINST the Warriors when he played for Melbourne. We discuss the head to head battle of the 9s - Wayde Egan versus Harry Grant - a match up we may see again in the Origin arena, the importance of winning the battle in the middle where JFH and Mitch Barnett will lead the way, and ask whether Eliesa Katoa will be at the Melbourne Storm for the rest of his playing days - given his incredible performances under Craig Bellamy. Goran has another crack at the Betcha This Happens multi, Blairy threatens to come out of retirement, and there's a debut for Newcastle's Tyrone Thompson in the latest episode of League Of Our Own!

Are Te Maire Martin & Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad on their way out of the NZ Warriors? | League Of Our Own - S2 EP6
Blairy & Goran navigate the minefield that is April Fool's Day pranks and realise that the rumours about Te Maire and Charnze have some validity. Where are they potentially going, and how much would the NZ Warriors miss them? Also, HOLY HECKA Leka Halasima!! Following a star turn against the Tigers, we wonder what his positional future holds. Is Leka a prop, a backrower, a wing, even a 6?! Other questions include: Is Wayde Egan destined for Origin in 2025? What's Benji Marshall on about? And will we ever nail the Betcha This Happens multi??

Wahs prepare for Benji's purring Tigers without RTS... for 8 WEEKS!? | League Of Our Own - S2 EP5
The NZ Warriors have been rocked by a hamstring injury to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, but that's been offset slightly with the return of 'The Real Big Dog' Rocco Berry. Awesome timing - given the relationship between canines and felines - with Benji Marshall's Wests Tigers the next opponent of the Wahs. Blairy & Goran talk about the threats of a rejuvenated Tigers outfit, the impressive performance of CNK vs Roosters, and try (once again) with an impossible multi in Betcha This Happens for Round 4!
