Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Stand-Off S7 E28 - Top Two Spots Locked In
Q: Looking at the letter for the bottom four teams, which trailing side has the best shot at going all the way?
Brad and Richie speculate that the Rabbitohs have upside given La Trova's return and some momentum, but they acknowledge the field remains a four-horse race with several teams still capable of challenging, depending on form and injuries.
The Stand-Off S7 E24- Top Four Flex Their Muscle
Q: Which team looks like the favourite to win the Premiership right now?
Based on recent form, the hosts lean toward the Panthers or Roosters, with the Sharks also in the mix, though many factors could shift in the finals; overall, the Panthers are favored given their experience and consistency.
The Stand-Off S7 E5 - Best Start Since 2018
Q: Do you have the Warriors as genuine title contenders after three rounds?
Yes, the Warriors look capable of challenging for the title given their strong forward pack, installed spine, solid defense, and high accuracy, but they need to maintain this level through injuries and form fluctuations as the season progresses.
The Stand-Off S7 E01: The 2026 NRL Predictions Show
Q: Who from the Warriors put their hand up for selection most from the preseason challenge?
I thought Tanner Stiles Smith looks like he's had a great off-season and looks like he's built on his experience from last year.
The Stand-Off S6 E33 No Longer Show Ponies
Q: Do you think the Panthers are a spent force now that their streak has ended, or do they have a few years of title contention left?
Richie entertains that the Panthers aren't a spent force, but they're no longer the only big dog in the park; they could still be contenders with Nathan Cleary.
