Lachlan Waugh - temporary host on the DSPN - is joined by former Warriors coach, and once a Newcastle Knights and Kiwis player, Tony Kemp. Together they dive deep into the Warriors’ gutsy 36-30 NRL victory over the Rabbitohs, praising their ability to grind out wins and the “next man up” mentality under coach Andrew Webster. Kempy tips his hat to halfback Luke Metcalf's maturity in the seven jumper, though flags defensive work-ons with the likelihood of the Warriors playing finals footy growing. The pair chat about the Warriors’ top-four hopes, Penrith’s looming resurgence, and why the Broncos look completely lost. Kempy also vents about the dodgy world of player agents, calling for the NRL to introduce a bond system. They wrap with a bit of State of Origin chat.
