This Warriors Life (This Warriors Life)

Relieved rather than satisfied would sum up Will and Brad's mood after the Warriors' bounce-back win over the Broncos, but it nevertheless provided plenty of fodder for a lazy Sunday afternoon recap.

(Note: a few all-time tech gremlins in this record, including losing Brad's track for about 15 minutes - so there's a big, heavily-edited chunk with Will prattling on with Brad's stunning insights sadly missing)

The bad news is club legend and cult hero Jazz Tevaga is leaving the Warriors.

The good news is we can belatedly release the second part of last week's yarn with the man himself - kicking off with the contract bombshell, as well as future plans, young guns, away game roommates and interview swearing.

Thanks for the memories Jazzy bro, hopefully a few more to come over the next few weeks!

Will and Brad rummage through the wreckage of another gut-wrenching Warriors loss - this time in golden point to the Dolphins. Brad produces a long-winded but poetically apt analogy for the 2024 season, while Will reveals that we in fact can't say the Wahs are mathematically out of Top 8 calculations just yet.

After some post-game shellshock, into birthday blues, into laptop malfunction, Will and Brad regroup a bit later than usual this week to try and untangle the Warriors' Las Vegas adventure that descended into disarray from the first whistle at Allegiant Stadium.

This episode unfolds a bit like the loss to the Raiders minus our SJ/Tohu-like compass in Fonzie: a bit aimless, exasperated, and short on crisp communication and, at times, effort. But the boys run through what appeared to go wrong in Round 1, the Richard Agar controversy, and a suddenly very important NSW Cup team list - plus the first shaky steps on Brad's fitness journey and impatient fridge alarms.

Fonzie's in Hawaii, but he cares too much about you all to neglect the masses after the Warriors' Round 1 debacle. Joining Will to break down the defeat to the Raiders, Fonz is no closer to deciphering what the hell was going on with Webby's forward rotation strategy - but he's prepared to give the other underwhelming elements of the performance the benefit of the doubt caused by the middles fiasco.

The audio feed from the tropics is a little sketchy, so close your eyes and imagine the Fonz poolside sipping a Mai Tai out of a coconut shell.

Marty's got some cracking tales from a career that took him from Reefton to Russia, the heights of NPC and Super Rugby championship glory, France, Japan and back to domestic footy in the south...and you might just stumble across him at Magic Round.

It's another patchy podcasting effort from inexperienced This Warriors Life duo Will Evans and Brad Larking with a few errors early on, but their effort can't be faulted and they finished full of running. The boys break down the Warriors' Campbelltown debacle, preview this week's clash against Manly in Christchurch and take a glance at the other seven games on the Round 3 bill. Teaser: Brad's new 'Stats Corner' jingle is worth sticking around until the end for.

The 2022 season is just hours away, Brad Larking is back on the TWL podcast with Will Evans for the first time this year - and it's  the most shambolic Warriors-related combination since Dane Nielsen and Glen Fisiiahi teamed up on an edge. Plenty of tangents (beer, BZP, the days when not everyone in NZ could get TV3, bands everyone likes that we hate), some Warriors and NRL chat, and Josh Curran levels of enthusiasm.

Will Evans and Brad Larking snap out of their bewildered state in the wake of the Warriors' capitulation to Manly long enough to record another ragged-yet-passionate episode of This Warriors Life's podcast. The boys discuss what went wrong in Round 3, the prospects of turning it around on Friday, and produce some stats and history that'll blow your 2005 Warriors bucket hat clean off your head. The other seven games in Round 4 get a run too - including the debut of just the second player in premiership history with a surname starting with 'X'.

Tune in for a deep-ish dive into the Warriors' two matches so far: what's working and what's not; who's going well and who's not; what the outlook is from this early stage of the campaign and where Brownie's job security stands.

The boys also chat golden point, teams under pressure, the most amazing coincidence in rugby league history, and open up TWL's mailbag for listeners questions.

The Warriors podcast throuple is back together again for the first time in 2022 with Brad and Fonzie sorting out their schedules to join Will on a Friday arvo. First and foremost, Larking concludes his pants saga, then it's onto an erudite Fonz-led breakdown of the Roosters game and a wrap of where the team is at right now. There's the usual tangents, anecdotes and waffle (inlcuding musical guilty pleasures), and from about the hour mark a genuine highlight: an interview with the one and only Ian Roberts.

The scab from the Anzac Day demolition hasn't fully formed yet, but Will and Fonzie are peeling it back anyway to break down what went wrong - and the findings are surprisingly positive. Plus Will takes a look at records and the Warriors' biggest one-week turnarounds, Fonzie unveils his Brownie game-plan theory with expertise that is half-Cronk, half-savant, and they touch on Ed Kosi, SJ, Daejarn Asi, backline changes ahead of a crunch game with equally desperate Canberra, and Skyhooks.

What do you do with your Friday arvo if you're self-employed and somewhat lazy? Have a couple of beers and record a chat loosely based around the Warriors. Brad and Will talk the win over the Raiders, the torrent of roster-related news, NRL expansion and (after almost forgetting) Round 9, as well as go-to albums, vasectomy analogies, towbar covers and anagrams.

 We needed to do something to pull us out of the funk after Sunday's demoralising loss to the 12-man Sharks, so Will, Brad and Fonz had the absolute pleasure of being joined on the pod by Warriors icon Simon Mannering. Somehow he's an even better bloke than he was a player - kick back and enjoy his insights about life in and out of footy.

Will and Fonzie team up this week to paint a realistic picture of a deeply concerning loss to Souths, with a keen focus on the Warriors' defence. Meanwhile, at this fascinating juncture we take a look at the club's coaching scenario - Will is collecting banana boxes for upcoming departures but Fonz's fraying patience has a few good weeks left yet.

Just a trio of wannabe alpha males, thrashing out our differences over a beer on a Friday arvo. Fonzie kicks off with a searing opening gambit about the bizarre developments at the Warriors over the past week before ducking off back to work, then Will and Brad are joined by a special guest - NRL journalistic royalty The Mole - to get his take on a situation even someone with his experience is finding hard to believe.

 We were lucky to make it to one, so we're more surprised than anyone to raise the bat for 100 episodes. It's a big one, with 'MC' Will and 'Ice' Brad joined by 'Eazy' Fonz on his corporate bigwig lunch break to break down the coaching upheaval at the Warriors, before club legend (and new quasi-assistant coach) Kevin Campion phones in to give us some insights from the revamped inner sanctum.

Will and Fonzie dissect the first week of the Stacey Jones caretaker era and find ever-so-slight improvement, while Fonz takes a dive into Shaun Johnson's performance so deep that it's surprising he didn't end up with the bends - and his findings will shock you! Beyond that, there's a look at Ronald Volkman's impending debut, an ugly Adam Pompey stat and a squiz at the New Zealand and Tonga squads ahead of next week's Test.

TWL limped towards the end of 2022, so we like to think of this as the first episode of the new season - and a new era. Fittingly, Will, Brad and Fonz were joined by the Warriors' man of the moment, incoming head coach Andrew Webster, for a fascinating hour of chat.

The TWL podcast is back for 2023...and Will and Brad are rustier than an old gate and only half as effective to kick things off. The same can't be said of the Warriors, though, who carved up in their first trial against the Tigers, providing the boys with plenty to talk about (on top of the usual tangential nonsense - including easy-peel agony, credit card expiry despair and an IRD scam near-miss).

Fonzie's battling a back complaint and a spider bite, but the Warriors' stunning road win over the Cowboys has proved the perfect antidote - nothing was gonna stop him from joining Will on Monday afternoon to review the club's finest peformance in years. Plenty of positivity, lots to unpack.

Toot toot! All aboard the Webster-led 2023 Warriors locomotive - there's room for everyone and we're stoked to have ya, day-oners and fairweathers alike.

Will and Fonzie attempt to sum up the wildest of wild Sunday afternoons in the Shire, before Brad injects himself with Dylan Walker-like impact and versatility after getting a late 18th man call.

It was a win deserving of a throuple pod and the giddiness at how well the club is going from top to bottom is hard to suppress.

On a more positive note, there's Kiwis selection chat, mid-season transfers and recruitment rumours, the NRL Rd 14 preview, plus the third instalment of Brad's 'Tales of Runanga' series and Will rattling off the Warriors' longest-serving centre pairings in Stats Corner.

The late finish to Round 8 messing with everyone's schedules, TWL is attempting an ambitious two-parter - a la Outkast in 2003. And just like that seminal double-album from Atlanta's finest, Big Boi Fonzie joins Will for what will be a more subtle and critically acclaimed Disc 1, before Larking 3000 brings the party jams on an erratic Disc 2 after Friday work drinks. Oh yeah, and brave effort against the Storm, dudded by the refs, injuries, our scheduling sucks, tough turnaround to take on the Roosters, bidets, yada yada yada.

With Fonz on the bye, Will and Brad cover off the Warriors' loss to the Broncos (the missed chances, the costly errors, pitch invaders...Pompey), State of Origin, look at our dreadful record around NZ, reminisce about Tina Turner and Daniel Anderson,  preview the oh-so-vital clash with the Dolphins, unmask the new stadium sponsor, and revisit every inaugural encounter the Warriors have had with a new club.

A discombobulated Will's headphones saga spills over into a second week, but fortunately Fonz is here to steady an otherwise rudderless ship - steering the Monday arvo conversation through a review of the victory over the Dolphins, a delve into what the Warriors' best 17 could/should looks like with the cavalry returning, and a preview of a potentially season-defining showdown with the dangerous-but-erratic Raiders in Jarrod Croker's much-publicised 300th NRL game.

Following the euphoria of the Warriors' win in Canberra, what better time to get SENZ producer and commentator Sam Hewat in for an enthusiastic yarn with Will and Brad. They cover Friday's victory, the Warriors' season as it stands right now, Sam's path into sports media, and a deep dive into the world of sports commentary (plus a few hard-hitting questions from an absent Fonz).

Fonzie is back with a bang after a couple of weeks off - and he's got a mixed reaction to Friday's blowout of the Dragons, while Will is a bit more sated by the patchy-but-convincing result. Despite a spicy debate about the importance of current ladder position, both agree the Warriors have a massive opportunity to do something special over the next few months.

The old firm of Will Evans and Brad Larking get back to their roots with an episode boasting more tangents than B-Rad's varicose veins. Aside from a Warriors v Rabbitohs preview and a bit of NRL ladder (!) chat, there's a Tale of Runanga, amateur DIY, tech agony, health insurance aims, Larry David lookalikes, vasectomies, Danny Glover(s) and pre-match pump-up playlists.

Amid the inescapable euphoria surrounding the Warriors' rise to contender status, Fonzie is back from the tropics to provide some razor-sharp analysis on exactly how they blew the Sharks away in such emphatic style. Will's busy trying to choke back tears about SJ's fairytale renaissance. After some hearty discussion about how a fully-fit 17 could/should look, both are somewhere between hopeful and optimistic ahead of a huge Friday night clash with the Raiders as the Warriors confront their weather bogey.
