We are now in the second half of the NRL season, which team has surprised us the most this season, and which team will turn things around in the remaining games?

Origin Game 2 is sneaking up on us and we begin looking at what we can expect.

Can this week’s Top 10 be as controversial as the last 2? Of course it can.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 19 | Top Ten Debate

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 02:00:55 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

Last week we went through the top 10 most shocking call ups and we thought we couldn’t think of another topic that would ignite such debate, but we sure did.

Karl asks who is in the top 10 all time greatest ever NRL try scorers and things get heated over one particular entrant.

We look back at the Warriors and how they managed to put a loss behind them and get back to winning ways. Should we start believing this is our year?

This week there are some massive games and we will be breaking down all the possible talking point on this week’s Advantage Line.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 18 | Origin, Origin and Origin

Wed, 28 May 2025 05:17:30 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

It is State of Origin day! We are having a crack at picking the winner of game one and who’ll big having a big influence on the outcome of this game and the ones to come.

We look back at the Top 10 must shocking Origin call ups, and you can bet they’ll be plenty of debate about each and every selection.

Of course, while it maybe State of Origin, there is still plenty of league action ahead this week. The Warriors will look to bounce back after another defeat to the Raiders this season, so what will they need to work on to gain a victory against the Bunnies.

So before this week’s rugby league action starts, sit back & relax with The Advantage Line.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 17 | State of Origin selections

Wed, 21 May 2025 22:42:02 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

This week, we fly out the gate and get straight into the State of Origin chat. To ensure we keep things moving and not end up with a 8 hour pod, we have restricted Teddy to 60 seconds worth of opinion.
We breakdown the teams for State of Origin, where are the weaknesses in the teams?

Which team has the most surprises? Who has the team to take out game one?

While State of Origin is right around the corner, there is still plenty of action in the league to come. Could this be the week that the Warriors take the top spot in the comp, or will the Bulldogs be hogging that spot for another week.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 16 | Looking back through the ages

Wed, 14 May 2025 05:05:57 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

We are a well prepared podcast as we look back through the years. We are looking back at the first 10 rounds of the NRL through the ages to see how this year’s league is stacking up.

Who has a memory of an elephant and who is like a goldfish?

A scandal breaks out as Blake accuses Paul at cheating at our history quiz.

The Warriors pulled off a 1 point victory at the weekend and now sit second on the ladder and are looking like the real deal, but with a tough game against the Dolphins coming can the Warriors maintain pressure on the Bulldogs?

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 15 | Warriors bring the magic

Wed, 07 May 2025 19:07:37 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

Magic round lived up to its names this year!

The Warriors produced another classic this year to keep the belief alive that this maybe the year.

With all the teams heading to one location for Magic Round, should New Zealand be the next spot to host a NRL Magic Round? 

The top two on the ladder are paying against each other this week and this could give the Warriors a huge opportunity to not only challenge for the top eight, but for the top of the NRL ladder.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 14 | Magic Round & Gorillas

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 04:21:34 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

As you know, we don’t shy away from talking about the big issues and today is no different as we tackle the question: 100 men vs 1 Gorilla who would win, but of course we are putting our own unique NRL spin on things.

It is that time of the season again where teams from NZ and Australia converge on Brisbane and Caxton Street does enough trade to shut down for the rest of the year. It is Magic Round. Who will that favour, who will not want to be playing in Brisbane this week?

We look back at the weekend’s biggest games.

Teddy has come down from cloud 9 after his beloved Bulldogs got a pounding, but taking his place is Karl and the rest of the Wahs faithful who might be starting to think “It’s our your” after an exciting ANZAC day win.

So while you tackle that gorilla put on some headphones and tune into The Advantage Line.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 13 | Guess who’s back

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 05:38:05 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

Guess who’s back, back again. Teddy is back, warn your friends. That’s right our good mate Teddy is back on the Advantage Line, which is a good thing as we enter winter as he’ll be able to warm us up with his hot takes on the latest news and action from the NRL.

While Teddy has returned, Karl is forced to do this week’s pod from home after sustaining an injury shortly before kickoff.

The Warriors left it late, but despite injuries, returned to winning ways. As they say, “Once is a mistake, twice is a habit” and the Warriors made sure that losing to the Storm was not the beginning of a habit.

The Bulldogs have been doing alright this year, so we’ve been told, so full warning Teddy may be gloating a bit more than normal while his beloved Bulldogs sit on top of the NRL ladder.

As usual, we’ll breakdown last week’s games while looking ahead to this week’s upcoming matches.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 12 | Lachlan Galvin Or…

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 02:24:40 -0000

Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line.

This week Searley and Blake join regulars Karl and Paul on the pod and we break down last week’s results including what happened in the first half of the Warriors vs Storm game. Is it something to be concerned about, or can we take some positives from the game.

Paul shows us his moves and then stumbles over a player name.

We wouldn’t be a NRL podcast if we didn’t discuss the Lachlan Galvin story, but we compare him with the other big earners in the NRL and ask, who would you prefer Lachlan Galvin or…

We then preview this week’s games, will the Warriors be able to return to winning ways now they are playing back at home, but they do have a couple of injury concerns going into their game against the Broncos.

The Advantage Line | Episode 11 | Pip Morris off the bench

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 01:42:59 -0000

Teddy is away, so we have gone to the bench and replaced him with an absolute legend in Phillipa Morris from Trackside.

With Pip being a Panthers fan, we have to ask are the fans already waving the white flag this year?

Blake Ayshford retires from gambling… only to return a few seconds later. Quite the emotional roller coaster.

We launch the campaign to bring back the good ole fashioned chip and chase in this week’s Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Is The Bunker slowing the game down too much in a bid to crackdown on illegal tackles?

We look ahead to this week’s games as the Warriors return to action after a week off.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 10 | Goodbye Teddy…for now.

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 04:34:56 -0000

Teddy joins us for the final time before going on a long break, so does he have a few choice words before he leaves the Advantage Line.

We try to look through the evidence to see if those “Massive Signing” rumours are true are merely a cruel April Fool’s joke?

Speaking of signings, who has been the Warrior’s biggest ever signing, and we get overly technical with it.

Of course, it was another big weekend of NRL action, so we breakdown all the action.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 9 | Dylan Walker leaves the Warriors

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 02:11:40 -0000

In semi-breaking news, Dylan Walker has left the Warriors so Teddy and Searley give us their raw reaction to the news, but it appears there is a positive spin to this story.

In this week’s good, bad and ugly the Warriors were good, while winning ugly.

Speaking of the Warriors, how will the Warriors move on after the injury to RTS?

In other big news that came out this week, DCE live TV announcement that he will be leaving Manly. What announcement would you love to make on live TV?

We also look ahead to this week’s games, and once again we are looking for any potential surprises.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 8 | Conspiracies & Victory Parades

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 01:10:54 -0000

Searley returns to the podcast after being MIA in Vegas, and we get the scoop on what happened.
We go over the good, the bad and the ugly from last week’s games.

Of course the Warriors have returned home and returned to winning ways, so what does the panel make of the performance compared the to Vegas game.

We also discuss what happened between a fan and a Manly player.

Teddy begins his first decent into conspiracy theories for the year as he questions a number of tries from the games last week.

The Advantage Line 2025 | The Good the Bad & the Ugly of Round 1 | Episode 7

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 02:00:29 -0000

The Advantage Line discusses the good the bad and the ugly as they recap the fixtures from Round 1.

Blake Ayshford is back to celebrate his Round 1 picks and attempts to organise a TAL sprint race.

Teddy predicts the first coach to be sacked and whether the Knights have made a mistake as the team previews Round 2 of the NRL.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 6 | Vegas gamble backfires

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:27:22 -0000

Karl gives us an overview of his Vegas travels.

What do the trio think of the event in Vegas, was it a celebration of Rugby League and what can be improved next year.

Teddy is already asking for changes after the first game in Vegas, and Teddy must have said something strange as Karl agrees with him at one point.

We have a cheeky game of guess who, who out of Paul and Teddy will be able to guess our mystery player.

We begin our preview of NRL Week 1, part 2 who will be beginning the season with a win this year?

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 5 | Live from Vegas

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 19:52:49 -0000

This is it! The beginning of the new NRL season, and we are in Vegas for the opening game between the Warriors and the Raiders.

Karl is joined by Blake and Searley….actually Searley is supposed to be here, but I guess what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Karl and Blake talk about how Vegas has been treating the fans, but how the Wahs fans have just taken over. Of course, we also preview the games being played in Vegas.

Vegas has been amazing so far, and it will only get better with just over 48 hours to go until kick off.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 4 | Viva Wahs Vegas

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 04:30:48 -0000

The pre-season is over, the NRL regular season is about to begin, and the Warriors are in Vegas to kick things off. Does it get much better than this?

What can we learn from pre-season? Is there anything to suggest that the Panthers won’t continue their domination of the NRL for many more years.

We attempt to keep things PG as discuss what is the one thing you should do while in Vegas.

Of course, we finish our season preview by looking at the teams that finished in last season’s top four. Does anyone think we will be seeing a similar top 5 in 2025?

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 3 | Can we learn anything from pre-season?

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 01:51:34 -0000

The Wahs had a great pre-season game, but does it actually matter. Can we really read anything from pre-season games to predict how the season will play out?

Teddy is quick to shoot down any excitement Wahs fans have from pre-season as he questions the the team the Warriors have played during the pre-season.

We are looking at tips 5-8 from last year’s ladder and how we think they will go this season. Any team going to make a push for the title this year, and who won’t be playing playoff footy again.

Could Donald Trump really go to the NRL in Vegas.

The Newcastle Knights, Sea Eagles, Bunnies, and Cowboys are put through the five words or less - or song - preview.

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 2 | Co-Captain, No-Captain?

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 02:57:08 -0000

The Wahs have announced Co-Captains for the upcoming season, so our Co-Captains Paul and Karl get Teddy’s thoughts on the announcement… and you can probably guess where Teddy stands on the issue.

After Mahomes performance in the Super Bowl, which players has had a similar performance in the NRL?

We continue our 2025 preview taking a look at the Broncos, Dragons, Dolphins, & Raiders and trying our best to stick to five words or less to describe their season last year.

The Grid is back once again, and this time Paul thinks he is in with a chance of winning… but does he?

The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 1 | Where it all begins…. Again

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 02:01:02 -0000

New year, new equipment, same old Paul, Karl and Teddy.

We preview the teams that finished at the bottom of last year’s table, and debate if they will be occupying the same position at the end of this year, or will there be a surprise package in the group?

Paul takes a break from the NRL chat to reveal the real reason why the trade that shocked the world actually took place in the NBA.

A simple game of five words or less breaks out into a song title competition.

The NRL grid returns this week, and this year we will be keeping track of things to ensure there are no dodgy claims of high scores as the weeks go on.

Karl asks that all important question: Is it the Wah’s year?

The Advantage Line Podcast | The saddest time of the year | Episode 43

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 01:43:01 -0000

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.

Sadly it is that time of year again, where the league season has come to an end and we begin the long wait for the start of the next season.

But, we still have some massive international league action to look back on.

The Advantage Line Podcast | Kiwis look to bounce back | Episode 42

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.

Paul is in the bin this week, but we have managed to call in a late sub, so Blake Ayshford is joining Karl and Teddy on the pod today.

We look back at the Kiwis vs Tonga game and try to figure out what went wrong, then right, then wrong again as the Kiwis came from behind only to lose the game.

Where do the Kiwis go from here?

It was the Melbourne Cup yesterday, so we take a little detour on today’s pod to see if anyone was lucky yesterday or ask a cheeky would you rather.

So, tell the boss your going to lunch and enjoy another episode of The Advantage Line.

The Advantage Line Podcast | Kiwis & Curries | Episode 41

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 01:36:32 -0000

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 00:31:20 -0000

Paul, Karl and Teddy also look back at last week’s international action and what the future holds for PNG.

Finally, what gives the gang a scare towards the end of today’s episode?

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 00:09:53 -0000

Last week, the talk was all about Shaun Johnson possibly getting a call up and now that has gotten the call, what do the FAB FIVE think of his return?

ToastieGate continues as more suggestions for the perfect toastie come in, but creamed corn is not as controversial as we all thought.

We run through all the bets and see how people finished for the season.

All that and more, so make a toastie and enjoy this week's episode.

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 23:46:08 -0000

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.

It’s both a joyous time of year and a sad time of year for our Advantage Line panelists.

On one hand we've just had the Grand Final, but on the other hand that means the long wait for the start of the next NRL season starts now.

However there is some international rugby still to come.

The trio look at back at the NRL Grand Final and who they think was unlucky during the game.

They breakdown where the game was won and lost and can the Panthers do it again next year?

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 02:39:08 -0000

Blake Ayshford will be doing what he can to keep Paul and Teddy in check while Karl is away. It's going to be tough, but if anyone can do it, it's Blake.

With only two weeks to go and with several teams still in contention for the top eight, the trio debate who will make the eight and snatch a playoff spot.

With Blake being a former player, Paul asks the question we have all been asking: Do the refs have a problem with the Wahs?

NRL 2024 Round 24 | Small margins, big difference | #28

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 01:42:35 -0000

Today Paul, Karl and Teddy are looking back at some of the small margins that have decided a number of games this NRL season.

With so many games finishing with little to split the teams involved, seasons could have been dramatically different had things gone the other way, often the difference has come down to kicking.

The NRL Grids game gets competitive with a some solid answers.

The boys look ahead to this week's action and does Karl still have a belief the Wahs can sneak into the playoffs.

The NRL regular season is coming to an end and their is a whole lot that still needs to be decided making for an exciting finish.

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 02:19:48 -0000

The Warriors are now in must win territory as they look to keep their chances of a top eight finish alive.

With a lot of games being decided by scoring or missing kicks this season, is goal kicking a skill being treated too much as a nice to have rather than a must have by many teams?

Things are getting tight and the margin for error is getting smaller, so who do our trio think will be walking away with the points this week and whose season could be over should they lose?

NRL 2024 Round 20 | Warriors Back in Action | #24

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 01:21:00 -0000

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:15:02 -0000

State of Origin 1 is in the bag and the big talking point is THAT sending off.

In a surprise turn of events, Teddy is siding with the referees on this one... that can't be right, can it?

The boys talk about the Warriors and their return to form.

The Would You Rather splits the lads and will lead to a show down next week.

Paul has another dream and that means we have another hunch,

All this and more on this week's Advantage Line
