Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RUNNING IT STRAIGHT - FULL SHOW (23/6/26)
Q: You've played multiple positions. How do you approach playing on the wing compared to fullback or center?
Charnze explained that playing wing demands focusing on carrying more and reading space differently, while fullback and center roles involve more decision-making and defense; he works on balance between pace, reading plays, and supporting teammates, and relies on communication with the backline to stay in sync.
RUNNING IT STRAIGHT - FULL SHOW (19/5/26)
Q: Question for you, Gello.
Gello responds that Te Maire Martin will likely continue in the seven role with the team evaluating the fit, while noting the system-based approach that minimizes changes despite the injury context.
RUNNING IT STRAIGHT - FULL SHOW (5/5/26)
Q: Do you think Chanel Harris-Tavita and Tanner Boyd can win an NRL premiership for the Warriors?
Jamie Soward says yes, they can be premiership threats with maturity and strong partnerships, though beating the top teams will test them; he emphasizes balance and not needing the ball to win as a key to their potential.
RUNNING IT STRAIGHT - FULL SHOW (28/4/26)
Q: What was the toughest part of the comeback for Patty Herbert?
Patty describes going from a long injury layoff and then returning with renewed appreciation for the game, the support of medical staff, and the responsibility to his three kids, which kept him motivated through rehab and trials.
RUNNING IT STRAIGHT - FULL SHOW (24/3/26)
Q: What's the general feeling around the Warriors as they prepare for Friday night?
