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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

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 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 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 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?

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?

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 panel of Karl, Paul and Teddy reflect on the final league games of the season.

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.

This week the topic of food comes up again and this one might be more controversial than a creamed corn in a sandwich.

Karl and Paul are joined by Teddy and Searle and they attempt to predict the upcoming Kiwis vs Tonga game. They'll also be reflecting on last week's international action and where it went right, wrong and everything in between for the Kiwis against the Kangaroos.

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.

This week we are blind ranking Kiwis who only ever played in one test match.

We then start looking ahead to the Kiwis taking on the Kangoroos.

Will the ‘Roos be jumping for joy or will it be the Kiwis who’ll be taking flight and landing on cloud nine?

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?

Advantage Line Assemble!

Karl, Paul, Teddy, Searle & Blake join forces this week and are discussing the big international games coming up this weekend.

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.

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?

In a FIRST for The Advantage Line, Teddy agrees with the bunker! What big call has Teddy singing the praises of the bunker officials? However it doesn’t last long.

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.
 
In the words of Teddy, this is like a like Hogan vs Warrior.

The two biggest and best teams are meeting in this year’s NRL Grand Final. 

Teddy, Searle, Karl, & Paul attempt to figure out who will be crowned this year’s NRL Champion.
 
It is a stats vs hunch clash as Teddy puts forward a sound, evidence based prediction that Karl reckons will be undone by his gut feeling.
 
It doesn’t get any bigger than this, folks!

Welcome back to a bonus episode of The Advantage Line podcast.

The Dally M award nominations have been released, so can our panel of Karl, Teddy and Searle agree on who makes the team of the year?

Of course, for every player nominated, someone has to miss out, so who do the trio think has been unlucky to not get nominated.

We also look back at our own picks from the start of the season and it’s not pretty.

Welcome back to The Advantage Line podcast.

Paul’s comments from last week have been reviewed by the bunker and he has been sent to the bin, so Karl, Teddy and Blake will be covering this weekend’s Preliminary Finals.

Is there much to get excited about or do we know who is going to make the final?

With the NFL season starting, we look at who could make the switch from NRL to the NFL as either a running back or quarterback?

The Divided Opinion becomes more like united admiration as the panel discuss NRL’s toughest players.

We also have an exclusive promo, which you’ll have to tune in to find out about, but trust us, it is worth it.

All that and so much more so sit back and tune into another week of The Advantage Line
