Podcast schedule...
-Weekend roundup - Marty and Kempy recap the action from round 19 of the NRL season, which was shortened due to State of Origin game three coming up this Wednesday. Still, there were some key results which impacted the race for the top eight, including the Dragons beating the Brisbane Broncos 30-26 and the Manly Sea Eagles belting the Newcastle Knights 44-6. As it stands, the Melbourne Storm are still top of the table, with the Penrith Panthers, Sydney Roosters, and Cronulla Sharks rounding out the top four.
-Up The Wahs - a segment that Marty and Kempy dedicate solely to chatting about the Warriors. Given the club enjoyed the bye in round 19, Marty and Kempy instead breakdown where the club is at as they approach the back end of the season, including what their best 17 looks like.
-He's A Ledge - Marty and Kempy are joined on the show by one of the biggest names in rugby league - Andrew Johns. The legend nicknamed 'Joey' previews the deciding State of Origin clash in Brisbane this week, while also offering his thoughts on where the 18th NRL franchise should be based.
-Head-to-head - Marty and Kempy face off, debating a number of NRL topics. This week they focus on the Warriors, and predict how the club will perform in their final seven fixtures of the season.
-Effluex clean-up award - Kempy nominates a player, coach or team who did their job better than anyone else on the weekend, someone who rolled up their sleeves and turned gunk into gold.
