In a special interview on the DSPN, host Martin Devlin is joined by former Kiwis captain Richie Barnett, who is also a rugby league analyst for Sky Sport. Together, they talk all things NRL after the opening round of action, where the Brisbane Broncos, Manly Sea Eagles and Melbourne Storm were without a doubt the standout teams. Marty and Richie review the six recent fixtures, as well as complexities of player selection and the recent performance of the Warriors in Vegas. Richie delves into the impact the Warriors' forward pack's performance had on the spine, Luke Metcalf's new role as starting halfback, and where Roger Tuivasa-Sheck should play. Marty and Richie also preview Friday's matchup with Manly at Mount Smart Stadium, and how tough a challenge it will be for the Wahs.
