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.

This Warriors Life Podcast 2025: Ep 9 - ...And Out Come The Wolves

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:10:26 GMT

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.

Sandwiched in between the somewhat encouraging drawn trial against Cronulla and the last pre-Vegas hit-out against Melbourne, Fonz and Will run the rule over the pecking order in each position in the Warriors' squad - particularly with injuries already shaking things up - and how they're likely to run out at Allegiant Stadium.

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 03:06:49 GMT

Oh boy, the losses are piling up, mathematical chances are out the window - and Will and Brad are crawling towards the end of a demoralising season.

They wrap up the Warriors' loss to Manly, dig into an increasingly frustrating lack of backline strike and the dubious quality of our likely 2025 spine, while Will details a harrowing case of mistaken identity.

Will and Brad rummage through the wreckage of another gut-wrenching Warriors loss - this time in golden point to the Dolphins.

This Warriors Life Podcast 2024: Ep 16 - Endless, Nameless (Bonus Track)

Fri, 03 May 2024 06:00:00 GMT

As everyone waits out a 10-day turnaround - and to give Will and Brad a chance to hang out for a couple of hours on a Friday arvie - here's a bonus pod.

Some 2024 Warriors chat, plenty of Warriors history with TWO 30-for-30s, but listen at your own peril...she's rough. Best pod of the year if you enjoy half-hour segments about Jim's franchises and ex-Warriors-turned-school-principals.

TWL Podcast 2024 feat. Fonzie: Ep 15 - SENZ Me An Angel feat. Sam Hewat

Wed, 01 May 2024 05:00:00 GMT

The Warriors are in a tight spot, so Will and Fonz have pulled out the big guns to reassess where the team's at, in the form of SENZ producer and commentator Sam Hewat's second appearance on the TWL pod.

Always a great time with Sammy - and this time we cover off: what went wrong against the Titans, the unpredictability factor (or lack thereof), whether the 'Mt Smart fortress' factor is working against the Warriors, lower grade glory, the Jett Cleary signing and a preview of the crunch clash with the Knights.

Catch Sam's handiwork live on SENZ or via SENZ League on Spotify and get around The Rugby League Eye Test.

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 08:00:00 GMT

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.

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.

The power throuple are back together for the first time in 2023 as Fonzie takes a step back from his SENZ hobnobbing to slum it with Will and Brad. There's a wrap from the final trial - including standouts and where the likes of SJ and Kosi stand after unhappy games - plus news, an updated likely 17 for Round 1, a broader season preview where we declare the KPIs we'd like the Warriors to hit, some over/under predictions for the year, and handshake debacles.

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 boys might be a little bit smitten with our new gaffer, just quietly: a deep thinker, passionate about the challenge ahead and a bloody good fella. Enjoy!

Recruitment chat, Will's deep dive into why Brown has a minimal chance of proving a good hire, Brad's ever-involving odyssey of a lamb-owner, Warriors youngsters that got away (courtesy of Nick Phillips and Callum Newson-Brown), support for former greats to sound off publicly (however ill-conceived or negative), Player of the Year chat, the Chancer NRL Finals Weekender game and a quick preview of the Week 1 games.

Plenty of positivity from the boys, which has been in short supply of late.
