Episode Details

The Sharks and Warriors are both coming off fascinating 2026 seasons, but where do they go from here?

We break down the Sharks’ disappointing finish, with just two wins from their final seven games and another early finals exit. What went wrong, how did the halves perform, and is this squad still capable of taking the next step? Plus, a look at the inconsistent impact from the forward pack.

Then we turn to the Warriors, who finished equal first after the regular season and built serious momentum around Wahs Nation. We discuss JFH’s leadership, Leka Halasima’s emergence at centre, the fullback battle between Tuaupiki and the rest, and whether the Warriors are now genuine contenders moving forward.

Plus, we name our Sharks and Warriors Players of the Year and rank the entire squads from S to F.
