'They Looked Lost' - Tony Kemp Reviews Warriors' Heavy Opening Defeat to Canberra Raiders | 2025 NRL Season

On this episode of the DSPN, host Marty Devlin dives deep into the Warriors' opening game of the 2025 NRL season - a 30-8 defeat to the Canberra Raiders in Las Vegas. It was the Auckland-based franchise's second-worst loss to open an NRL season, and casts doubt over their ability to return to the finals series after missing the top eight in 2024. Ex Warriors coach Tony Kemp is with Marty to recap all the action from over the weekend, talking about the significant gaps in experience and game strategy that were evident between the Warriors and Raiders. Kemp shares insights on key players like Luke Metcalf, Chanel Harris-Tavita, and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, and weighs in on coach Andrew Webster's decisions regarding the team's lineup. As Marty and Kempy assess missed opportunities, critical plays, and potential team adjustments, they express optimism about the Warriors' chances of still having a good season.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn YouTube: @DevlinSportsPodcastNetwork
