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. 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.

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)

There's a Stats Corner bursting with new records and historical anomalies, a 30-for-30 that points to a potential bounce-back this week against the Broncos, Team List Tuesday predictions and hopes, and Fonz's leadership theory.

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 the SENZ League on Spotify and get around The Rugby League Eye Test.

A dive into the sketchy win over the Tigers, a quick look at Friday's showdown with the Sea Eagles, ladder chat (!), club records in the Warriors' sights and some balance to the potential Eden Park finals furore.

Correct pronunciation of 'Rocco'
After Cyclone Gabrielle stopped the boys from recording on Monday night, Fonzie and TeetsNRL jumped in the studio to talk game models, how to win footy games and the Warriors best 17 in 2023. There's also a debrief on the NRL All Stars game and last week's trial, and a placeholder for another chat on development pathways...and just general footy 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).

This is a pre-season drop from Fonzie, as he draws from the past to offer some thoughts on cohesion in footy teams, and the implications for the 2023 season.
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 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!
After a two-month hiatus, Fonz, Will and Brad have finally got their act together - and recovered enough psychologically and spiritually - to give a fast and loose review of the Warriors' wretched 2022 season. Thanks for your patience ❤️
Will, Brad and Fonzie are mirroring the Warriors' late-season displays, absolutely dragging their feet towards the end of an arduous campaign...but there's a sense of jaded positivity as the team approaches Saturday's season closer at Mt Smart. Footy chat plus bonus Fonz DIY tips and Brad's best 'man walks into a bar' joke.
After a couple of weeks' hiatus with everyone's schedule up the wazoo, Will, Brad and Fonzie reconvene to look at our best win of the year. Plus Brad comes up with a pre-emptive alibi if he and Will get out of hand this Friday - with dad Les lining up to play the Andre Ponga role.
Just days out from their long-awaited irl meeting, Will and Fonzie burst through the out-of-finals-contention malaise to pick apart the glut of Warriors news that's dropped in recent days, as well as some line-up changes this week and permutations for 2023, the NAS farce and some Kosi love.
With Fonzie caught in the rat race, self-employed duo Will and Brad embark on a typically carefree, tangential, aimless Friday arvo pod. But if you're into Canberra trivia, maths exam cheating and looking down your nose at rugby union, this could be the episode for you.
It's a rare full pod with the TWL throuple - and Will, Brad and Fonz have got plenty to catch up on after the torrent of recent Warriors-related news. Plus we look ahead to the Eels clash on Friday and even had some time for a game of Over/Under and True or False?
It's bye week - the perfect time to blood Brad back into the TWL line-up after a month on the sidelines - but there's plenty to cover: homecoming, Reece, CNK, TMM, Webster. Come for the Warriors chat, stay for Brad's stirring rendition of Otago rugby anthem 'Southern Man'.
Just as it's ruled Walshy out of the Warriors' homecoming game, Brad is a late scratching from the TWL podcast due to COVID - but Will and Fonzie are on deck to try and sum up what Sunday's match means to the club and its fans.
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.
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. Cheers to everyone that's sat through the previous 99 - love yas all.
Fonzie steals the keys to the TWL platform to post a reaction piece to the Nathan Brown news, and travels back in time only to find that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Usual TWL service to resume in the coming days.
Will and Brad are both under the weather but have pushed out a lengthy NRL halfway review (recorded in two parts over three days), running the rule over each club and taking a deeper dive into the poorly maintained pool that is the 2022 Warriors - including individual grades for all 29 players used so far this season.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With Fonzie still on a post-golden point bender and Brad too busy showing off his new pants around town, Will's joined by the esteemed Michael Burgess for a dive into Friday's victory and Shaun Johnson's impact since his return to the Warriors, the Montoya incident, the Warriors' season prospects, the chances of Reece Walsh hanging around, the club's impending homecoming, and the World Cups - Rugby League and FIFA.
Brad makes his return to the pod after two weeks off with Shaun Johnson-like impact, veering off down a rabbithole about buying jeans and the intricacies of early-2000s fitted cap-wearing. WARNING: This podcast may contain traces of rugby league.
Still a little rattled from Friday's scrimmage - as evidenced by Will's muddled delivery - but fortunately Fonzie is here to provide a bit of direction and clarity, much like we hope SJ will on the paddock this weekend.
Will and Fonzie are back together for the first time in 2022 - and it feels good. 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.
A Friday arvo chat with Will and Brad to get you through to the weekend's game, including an appraisal of the Rd 1 loss, addressing the premature panic among the Warriors fanbase, and a look ahead to Saturday's showdown with the Titans. Brad also talks about his body quite a bit, as well as pukekos and unfortunate footpath collisions.
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.
Warriors CEO Cameron George joined TWL's Will Evans for a chat a week out from the club's first game of 2022, covering off:
-SJ's return, Dylan Walker's signing, Walsh and CHT's future
-The Redcliffe set-up and optimism for a permanent return home
-Update on development and pathways
-The relationship with the Dolphins after getting an NRL license
-The contribution of Nathan Brown, Craig Hodges and Mark Robinson
The TWL podcast eases into 2022 with Will Evans and Nick Tedeschi casting their eye over all 16 clubs' prospects this season.
Come for 'Toprope' Tedeschi's tales of a brief but eventful pro-wrestling career, stay for his trademark pull-no-punches assessments of NRL teams and players.
Few analyse rugby league as deeply as Nick, so be warned: he's far less enamoured with the our Top 8 chances than the average chronic Warriors optimist.
It's an Xmas special! But Fonzie is a self-professed Grinch, so really it's an excuse for he and Will to catch up for a couple of end-of-year Friday arvo beers and chat everything Warriors. The Twitter and NZ Warriors forum communities have dished up some curly questions in high volume - the boys have attempted to answer as many of them as thoughtfully as they can.
It's an end-of-season blowout with Will and Brad getting together with Fonzie over a few froths. They talk Brown, best 17 for 2022, Ash Taylor, CHT and a whole bunch of random, tangential garbage. Hopefully a bit of lockdown relief for the Auckland- and NSW-based listeners out there.
It's too disjointed to call it a season review, but Will and Brad give their assessment of the weak finish to 2021 on the Gold Coast, the overblown discipline furore and a wretched season overall. 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.
Last Friday's finals-hopes-ending loss still stinging like the first sunburn of summer, Will and Brad draft in a special guest to boost the enthusiasm factor - and Sammy St. G sparkles on debut like Patty Herbert or Walshy at AAMI Park on Anzac Day. The loss to the Raiders reviewed, Sunday's clash with the Titans previewed, and a whole bunch of 2021 season-reviewy, 2022-forecasty, archetypal-Warriors-fan-lament jibber jabber in between.
The boys convene on Friday morning for a rare GAMEDAY podcast, revelling in the Warriors still being a mathematical finals hope ahead of tonight's showdown with the Raiders. Meanwhile, Brad gets a pet lamb and wonders aloud if he could bring himself to eat it, before detailing his battles with a knotted extension lead.
Also check out their Chancer TWL Fan Challenge picks - play before kick-off tonight: https://chncr.io/raiders24twl
Coming to you from Level 4, Will and Brad are already showing signs of lockdown fatigue...could be the day drinking. But they're pumped the Warriors are still alive in the finals race, while the rambling, tangent-heavy league chat is complemented by Larking asking another couple of life's great questions: where is the thermometer for the outside temp on your car? And who is the 'feels like' temp person on the weather?
They're back after a few weeks in the casualty ward, wrapping up the Warriors' first back-to-back wins of the season as the little finals flame just keeps flickering. The Twitter mailbag gets a run, Will bemoans the lack of quality rugby league Evanses and Brad's got issues with Cooper Cronk and Maggi 2-minute Noodles' packaging.
It's a far more contented Will and Brad rolling up this week despite the current six-match losing run, thanks to the short-handed Warriors' gallantry against the Panthers. A couple of new segments with Russell and Shane's in-game text message thread revealed and Ben Lythe getting the nod for the first edition of 'Forgotten Warriors', plus a fair bit of news to chew the fat over before the NRL Round 19 preview. Plenty of positivity from the boys, which has been in short supply of late.
We forgot to plug this week's Chancer game, so go and play that please: https://www.chancerhq.com/warriors
As Neil Young said, it's better to burn out than to fade away - and the Warriors' 2021 campaign is very much in danger of doing the latter. Will and Brad address the lack of pressure on coach Nathan Brown and his surprisingly large army of apologists, among other future positives and current negatives surrounding our club.
Comin' at ya on a Friday afternoon as Will and Brad gave it a bit more time to calm down after last weekend's horrendous capitulation. It didn't help.
It's a weird time for the Will and Brad: super pumped on the Shaun Johnson news, but there's still 10 rounds to play in a season that is in grave danger of slipping away. Get the boys' tangential take on the reshuffled Warriors' must-must-win showdown with the Saints on Friday, along with the rest of Round 16, plus Origin, Chancer etc
Fonzie Talks Warriors and TWL's Will drop everything to react to the daddy of all Warriors news bombshells: SHAUN JOHNSON IS COMING HOME BABYYYYYYY!!! Don't turn it up too loud, the euphoria might blow out your speakers.
Between Walshy's Origin call-up, the DWZ confirmation, Chad Townsend's shock return and the Black Caps' World Test Championship triumph, there's been enough happening for Will and Brad to crawl out of a dark pit of despair after the loss to the Knights and record an episode. The undoubted highlights, though, are Brad's separate analogies involving Gloriavale and MacGyver.
Will and Brad are coming in flat, because (a) No Fonzie (b) the demoralising loss to the Storm (c) our 5-8 record and (d) DWZ. Plenty of recruitment and retention chat, a review of Sunday's shit-Storm and a full NRL Round 15 preview.
It's another crossover episode! Will and Brad are joined by Fonzie Talks Warriors for a monster two-hour-plus gasbag - and are predictably dwarfed by his intellect and analysis, while also being emasculated by his deep baritone voice. We had fun recording, not making any promises you'll enjoy the listen as much.
After the obligatory gushing about Reece Walsh, Will and Brad take a look ahead to Friday's huge trip to Townsville with an unchanged line-up. There's also Peta Hiku's departure, Will's triumph in Chancer's TWL Fan Challenge and one brush with the late, great Bob Fulton, birthday shout-outs, the barnstorming return of 'Which Warrior Would You?', a full NRL Round 12 preview and a new outro.
You know what's coming: a ute-load of Reece Walsh chatter. Several underperformers get some constructive criticism after Magic Round - but there's some plaudits as well. The boys tackle the head-high crackdown and expansion, but Brad steals the show with his fantasy about getting the Death Star construction contract, as well as interrupting the Round 11 preview with an ode to his old man, Les.
The bulk of the vent from Sunday's loss already out of the way in the post-match pod, Will and Brad work through the Warriors' upcoming crunch game against Parramatta as part of Sunday's NRL Magic Round schedule.
There's also the Peta Hiku blow, the news the Warriors are unlikely to return home before the end of the season, a full rundown of Chancer's TWL Warriors Fan Challenge and Brad's revelation that he's a terrible BBQer - before getting into the full Magic Round preview.
Not a hint of smugness here - Will and Brad take no joy in what unfolded on Sunday arvo at Brookie - but they didsay benching Reece Walsh was a recipe for disaster. So it proved, amid some associated defensive ineptitude, and their post-match debrief is sure to provide some cathartic relief for some fans.
Catch the TWLmatch report here: BASIC BROWN BURNED BY TURBO-CHARGED MANLY
Will and Brad are still shaken up by Sunday's game of two halves. But Brad has been working hard to find an alternative nickname to the unimaginative 'Reece Lightning' for our new teen superstar, while Will has been delving deep to uncover the changes and trends in rugby league players' names over the past 40 years.
Plus club news, team list chat, Round 9 preview yada yada yada
Will and Brad try and keep a lid on their unbridled enthusiasm for the Warriors' new wonderboy Reece Walsh...and do a terrible job of it. They're all in. Lots of team chat - including preferred three-quarter lines and halves/hooker/utility combinations when we're at full-strength - plus a full preview of NRL Round 8.
Just a quick Saturday night ep from the boys to run through the TWL Chancer Warriors Fan Challenge for the ANZAC Day showdown with the Storm - plus some huge props for Benji Marshall and Isaiah Papali'i in a wee Friday night review, and fitness test advice from Brad.

Will and Brad revel in the Warriors' bounce-back upset of the Dragons, empty out a packed TWL Twitter mailbag and rip through a preview of Round 7 - the boys have got a funny feeling we'll push the Storm close on ANZAC Day. Come for the league chat, stay for Brad's story about a knife-sharpening weirdo Tradestaff sent him.
On hiatus for a couple of weeks, Will and Brad return with their longest TWL pod ever. That's not necessarily a good thing. Nevertheless, the boys are all guns blazing - with Nikorima and Egan in the firing line - after the horror show against Manly, and pondering where the team goes from here and the club goes spine recruitment-wise.
Plenty around the NRL to sink the teeth into in a big news week ahead of Round 6, headlined by the Broncos' woes, the Sharks' coaching fiasco, the precocious Sam Walker, the ageless Benji Marshall, and the sizzling form of our Sunday arvo opponents, the Dragons.
Happy 40th Telly!
Happy Easter This Warriors Lifers!
Still regrouping from the most exciting thing that has ever happened in Canberra since Telly was born there, Will and Brad put the Warriors' Easter Sunday showdown with the injury-stricken Roosters under the microscope.
Plus there's a bit of news chat - Origin eligibility, 18th man - the TWL Chancer Warriors Fan Challenge and a rapid Round 4 preview. Nothing special, just a solid, no-frills Leeson Ah Mau of a podcast.
Will, Brad and Raiders tragic Telly try to piece together what happened in one of the wildest 80 minutes ever conjured by the fickle rugby league Gods. A game for the ages with so many talking points - if you weren't electrified by that, check yourself for a pulse.
It's an extra special episode of the TWL podcast for your Friday as Will Evans is joined by the great Nick Tedeschi. Nick takes us through his journey as a Bulldogs tragic, Rugby League Weekcover star, rugby league writer extraordinaire and mad punter.
Come for Nick's historical analysis of the Warriors from a neutral expert's perspective and favourite players and games of all time, stay for his rugby league betting dos and don'ts and as he tries to once and for all explain how a points start works for Will's mates.

Despite Friday's frustrating defeat and CHT's devastating injury news, Will and Brad are surprisingly upbeat ahead of a daunting road trip to take on Canberra.
The boys preview the Warriors-Raiders clash and the rest of Round 3, talk Reece Walsh and his early release bid, Dally M votes, Redcliffe, TWL's Chancer Warriors Fan Challenge and who they would (and wouldn't) want their wife to go on a Wellington weekender with in another edition of 'Which Warrior Would You?'
Will and Brad catch up straight after a tough 20-16 loss to the Knights, admiring the Warriors' grit but bemoaning a late lead lost and an anonymous showing from Kodi Nikorima.
Onwards and upwards though - and Brad has some Tales from Runanga gear to provide a silver lining on a disappointing night, as well as some TWL Chancer Warriors Fan Challenge results.
You didn't ask for it, but we did it anyway. Will Evans and Brad Larking punch out their immediate post-match reaction in podcast form - and it's a helluva lot more satisfying to do it after a statement 19-6 Round 1 win over the Titans.
The boys wrap up a gritty victory, analyse the standouts and the big moments, and cast their eye over the weekend of footy to to date.
It's NRL Round 1 this week! And Brad is absolutely frothing for the season and to be back on the pod, so much so he's revived Tales of Runanga. He and Will take a look at our first Warriors team of 2021 and break down Saturday's clash with the Titans, as well as the rest of the opening round.
Brad's new segment 'Which Warrior Would You?' also makes its debut, while Will reveals the CD Stacey Jones had on repeat in 1997 in Rugby League Soundtrack.
It's a crossover pod! The kingpin of Warriors analysis, Fonzie Talks Warriors, joins TWL's Will for a lively hour of chat. We get to hear about Fonzie's background and how he came to be a Warriors tragic, before he and Will delve into the Twitter mailbag to answer some incisive, thought-provoking and abrasive questions from the fans.
If you're not already listening to Fonzie's top-notch podcast content, do yourself a favour and head here: https://open.spotify.com/show/769Wm9VAr6gnOMa3CA8TU0?si=H4lw-jPLR4ev9Cpx-MR36w
And never fear, Brad will be back ASAP running it off the back fence as the TWL boys settle into the 2021 season groove.
After punching above his weight in recent weeks with Michael Burgess and Cameron George guesting on the show, Will Evans returns to the podcasting gutter where he belongs: alongside Brad Larking. And Brad will have listeners swooning to the sound of his suddenly sultry voice on his new mic.
The boys talk conspiracy theories, RTS replacements, Jahrome Hughes and a few other bits and pieces in a wee appetiser for the TWL Podcast season ahead.
Warriors CEO Cameron George very generously gives up his time to talk to TWL about the team's set-up in Terrigal, the impact of the new recruits, Roger's departure and future recruitment, Nathan Brown, Phil Gould and pathways, the Redcliffe partnership, and the prospect of an entire season across the Tasman.
After having a few days to digest the bombshell news, TWL's Will Evans and veteran NZ league journalist Michael Burgess dissect Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's post-2021 exit to rugby union.
They talk about RTS's rugby league legacy, the impact his impending departure could have on the Warriors' 2021 campaign, who's in line to take over - at fullback and leadership-wise - beyond this year, and where the club might look to spend the salary cap cash in 2022.
While Brad takes a well-earned summer break and works on his tan, Will caught up with Warriors icon and FOG Kevin Campion a couple of days after Queensland's epic Origin decider victory.
'Campo' takes us through his memorable two-season stint as a Warriors player and his return as an assistant coach, including the characters, big matches and unforgettable moments along the way. He also provides an insight on what we can expect from his ex-Dragons teammate Nathan Brown, as well as his views on where the club is headed.
Will and Brad finally get around to their 2020 sign-off episode, summing up the crazy Warriors season that was. The boys dish out some awards and give their appraisal on all 32 players who pull on the jersey this year. Cheers to everyone who listened to us this season. We'll have a few bits and pieces podcast and content-wise over the summer - until then, peace out!
After a two-week car crash- and whitebait trip-related absence, Will and Brad return with a familiar theme: bursting with pride over the Warriors' late-season moxy, despite slipping out of the finals race.
Then there's the Addin Fonua-Blake bombshell, the reported axing of Iggy and The Herb, a preview of this Sunday's season-ending clash with Manly and a full rundown of NRL Round 20.
Delirious from the Warriors' best win yet, Brad and Will have got love for the boys from jersey 1 to 17 - even some players they've been habitually tough on. Bit of news from around the traps, a breakdown of what has to happen for the Warriors to pull off their Top 8 dream, and a good ol' preview of the massive Eels clash and the rest of NRL Round 17.
Be warned: we had a few audio/internet issues today as Dunedin's 'Gigatown' reputation was ruthlessly exposed as a myth. But in between Brad's interludes sounding like Max Headroom, we've got a review of the win over the Bulldogs and a breakdown of the Warriors' Top 8 chances, plus a return of the mailbag segment chock-full of questions from TWL followers.
Will and Brad froth over the continuation of a Warriors resurgence, this time after a valiant defeat to the Panthers. Plenty to cover off, including Paul Turner's potential debut, a Pompey conspiracy theory, the impending crew of cast-offs, the Telstra-Vodafone snafu (followed by a rundown of the most memorable jersey sponsors of all time), Kevin Proctor's nibble (followed by the a rundown of the most infamous biting incidents of all time) and preview of Warriors-Bulldogs + the rest of NRL Round 15.
The boys put in some overtime this week covering off the Warriors' stirring win over Manly - including Brad's hot hand at the TAB - before unpicking the massive Brown and Gould news, and running the rule over our new confirmed recruits and who we're rumoured to chasing (including thatpolarising target). Lightening the mood a bit, we've the all-time Brads XIII v Wills XIII and the usual NRL weekend preview.
Recommended for: next-level Warriors nerds; insomniacs; fans of low-quality audio
Will and Brad are getting in early this week - but not early enough to avoid the Warriors' excellent win over the Tigers being overshadowed by a couple of news bombshells from T. Payten and B. Green.
It's a first for 2020: Will and Brad satisfied after a loss. We've got a breakdown of the gallant effort against the Roosters, a summary of news items swirling around the club - including the Warriors inclusions on the NRL rich list - and an update of the hunt for our new coach.
Stick around as we dish out the TWL mid-season awards, recognise the Indigenous Australian players to turn out for the club and run the rule over Round 12.
You might find yourself double-checking you haven't pressed play on last week's ep, because the elements are the same: reviewing a woeful loss, whingeing about our terrible recruitment, debating the modest pool of coaching candidates, and previewing an unwinnable game ahead.
But we somehow found the motivation to record it, so the least you can do is tune in again - if only to Brad's haunting beautiful Warriors analogy. Enjoy!
Will and Brad can barely bring themselves to discuss a horrific loss to the Titans, but there's plenty of team news to spout opinions about. Plus Will pushes the barrow hard for his preferred new Warriors coach, Brad hosts a recruitment showcase following the TWL fan forum, and big tryscoring hauls feature in History Corner after a quick NRL Round 10 run-through.
Will and Brad dissect the character-laden win over the Broncos, and segue from Blake Green's blinder after being told he is unwanted beyond next season into running the rule over all of the Warriors' off-contract players.
A new badminton league, a mousepad giveaway, punch-drunk Hodges and a cult hero's likeness to a truck caught Brad's eye during NRL Round 8, while the boys give the upcoming weekend a good going over before reliving the Warriors' hotheads of seasons past in History Corner.
Will and Brad touch briefly on the Storm demolition, Todd's tough talk, the signing of a Fijian wing giant, another potential recruit rejecting us, and take another deep dive into prospective new Warriors coaches - before coming back to the stark realisation that this may be the bleakest period in the club's history.
Saturday's Warriors-Broncos cellar dweller showdown gets a bit of a going over, with Brad predicting martial law in Brisbane if our boys can get the W.
Amid one of the biggest news weeks in Warriors history, Will Evans and Brad Larking are here to sort through Stephen Kearney's axing, the legacy he leaves, what it means for the club for the rest of 2020, and the plethora of contenders to take the coaching reins.
There's also damning figures for the Warriors' development in Stats Corner, the debuts of the club's four previous interim coaches in History Corner, and a Yung Maynie update in Music Box, plus Warriors-Storm and NRL Round 7 preview yada yada yada.
Will Evans is joined by veteran NZ rugby league journalist Michael Burgess to dissect the Warriors shock sacking of coach Stephen Kearney yesterday.
Michael has been at the media coalface for the entire Kearney era - plus several other failed Warriors coaching stints - and has some fascinating insights into how the club finds itself in the position it's in now, and where they go from here.
Will and Brad pick apart an enjoyable win over the Cowboys and ask for more of the same - with a few improvements - ahead of Friday's crunch clash with the Rabbitohs.
There's also a pros and cons list for playing David Fusitu'a at wing or centre, a West is Best tale from Brad that includes asbestos and the Queen, and a full preview of the remaining seven matches from NRL Round 6.
Plenty for Will and Brad to unpick this week after Friday's dreadful loss to Penrith, plus the lack of changes ahead of a must-win showdown in Round 5 against North Queensland. The boys' confidence in 'the process' is at rock-bottom.
On the bright side, there's the return - and renaming - of Brad's 'Tales of Runanga' segment, and a host of storylines to sort through ahead of a bumper weekend of NRL matches.

Will and Brad are still fizzing from Saturday's unforgettable win - but not so much that they forget there's a couple of apologies they need to make to Mooks and the boys.
There's an in-depth wrap-up of the Dragons shutout and preview of Friday's clash with the Panthers, a few highlights from NRL Round 3 and a quickfire tipping preview of Round 4, Nostalgia Corner featuring our least favourite players from the '90s and Music Box to close it out.
After shaking off the rust last weekend, Will and Brad are back with an offering high on energy and opinion but low on optimism and production values.
An underwhelming Team List Tuesday, Saturday's showdown with the Saints, Bronson Xerri, the rest of NRL Round 3 and a nostalgic look at our favourite players of the '90s all get a run, along with a quick Stats Corner and a self-indulgent Music Box.
Will and Brad gingerly return from a two-month hiatus for a pow-wow about the NRL's return, the Warriors' chances and a whole bunch of injury, signing and line-up stuff ahead of Saturday's clash with the Dragons - plus a special throwback Music Box featuring 'Brandy' Alexander.
Will Evans and Brad Larking dust off the mailbag to answer all your COVID-19 adjacent questions after arguably the craziest week in the Warriors' history. Then it's straight into a preview of NRL Round 2 - a weekend of footy like no other that's gone before it.
Will Evans and Brad Larking pick themselves up off the canvas a day after a dismal first-up outing in Newcastle, reviewing the game and breaking down the extraordinary developments across the NRL - of which the Warriors have become the default poster boys. Come for the analysis, stay for Brad's awkward mid-game Dominos delivery story.
