'We Underestimated Them' - Tony Kemp on NZ Warriors' Win Over Dolphins & 8-2 Start to NRL Season

On the DSPN today, host Martin Devlin is joined again by former Warriors coach, and ex Kiwis and Newcastle Knights player Tony Kemp. Together, they review round 11 of the NRL with a focus on the Warriors winning yet again! Who woulda thunk it. The Wahs beat the Dolphins 16-12 on the road, and now sit comfortably in second on the NRL ladder with an 8-2 record. They're also on a five-match winning streak. Marty and Kempy recap the club's impressive performances of late, the character shown in their tight wins, Luke Metcalf going from strength to strength at halfback, and their upcoming fixtures. The conversation also covers the Panthers' fortunes during the State of Origin period, which NRL teams are already out of top eight contention, the Sharks' form and the Broncos going from bad to worse. They finish things off reviewing the Origin teams named for game one next week.
