While Karl may not be in the saddle this week, Paul leads the charge, joined by Teddy and Blake Ayshford to make up this week’s panel. As you’d expect, it’s all about the World Cup, with the lads kicking things off with a review of the round of action just gone. From there, the panel takes on the challenge of building their World XIII, with a couple of rules to help them put their line-up together. Then, of course, as they always do, the fellas close out with their picks for the upcoming slate of World Cup footy.

The Advantage Line podcast roars on into the RLWC, with the lads starting the show with one of Karl’s classic games. They then look at Team List Tuesday and preview every game in the first round, including the headline clash between New Zealand and Australia. To close out the show, the team break down their bets for the tournament’s opening round and share their favourite futures picks.

The Advantage Line podcast is back for another week, as the lads dive into the NRL Grand Final from the weekend and discuss all the talking points from the biggest game of the season. The boys also look back at how they went predicting the NRL season, reviewing the futures bets they placed before the season started.

It is Grand Final time! Yes, the One NZ Warriors may have missed out this year, but the final has all the makings of an absolute classic. First up, the Roosters are favourites and rightly so, but the Knights have a wave of support behind them they may turn the tide in the final. So, who'll be the 2026 Grand Final winner?

We’ve had time to reflect, digest and absorb the One NZ Warriors loss to the Knights and it is safe to say there are still plenty of talking points about how it all went down. Should NZ have had a day off to allow the nation time to recover? We think so. We take time out of the the pod to just stop and appreciate the work of Leka Halasima who basically played with a leg hanging off helped the team stay in the game until the final whistle. Of course, we turn our attention to the games this weekend. Will the Knights be taken out by the Panthers or will Cleary make his return to help guide his team towards another Grand Final? The Roosters will be looking to carry on their recent form against the Dolphins. So who do you think will be heading the the Grand Final?

The One NZ Warriors may not have been able to get the job done in week one of the NRL Finals, but they will be feeling buoyed by the news that Eden Park will be a sell out ahead of their clash with the Knights. As the road ahead will lead to a clash with the Panthers, will Nathan Cleary be a part of the team, and with the games between the Wahs and Panthers this year being so close, could that give the One NZ Warriors the advantage should the teams meet. The Roosters will also be looking to bounce back from a tough round 1 defeat and secure their place in the next round, but after taking the Panthers to the wire, do they have enough in the tank to overcome a tough Sharks side.

Welcome back to yet another week of The Advantage Line Podcast!The NRL Finals are upon us and even though there are only 8 teams remaining there's so much to discuss.Paul & Teddy are joined by Karl, Blake and Searley (who all went missing last week) for an action-packed episode.

Welcome back to a very special edition of The Advantage Line Podcast! It's the last round of regular-season action, and with the finals just around the corner, it is a not-to-be-missed show. The casualty ward is full this week with Karl Tily, Blake Ayshford & Ben Searle all out with undisclosed injuries. Don't despair though because Paul & Teddy are joined by the one and only Yvonne Sampson.

Welcome back to yet another week of The Advantage Line Podcast! We are back once again ahead of the penultimate round of regular-season action, and with such a big occasion, it is a jam-packed show. The show is hosted by the duo of Karl and Paul, who are joined by NRL guru Nick Tedeschi and former NRL player Blake Ayshford. It almost does not need to be said, but it would be a disservice if we did not mention it, as the show opens with the lads covering all bases from last week’s tipping competition results. This is followed by the return of Karl’s blind-ranking lists, which the other three take on as a challenge. Another regular segment is up next, with the panel going through The Good, the Bad and the Ugly from round 25 of the season. Then, as always, the show is rounded out by the team previewing a couple of games and making their picks for the weekend.

Welcome back to yet another week of The Advantage Line Podcast!This week, the show is once again hosted by Karl and Paul, who are joined by three guests to make up a five-man panel. The trio joining our hosts are NRL gurus Nick Tedeschi and Searley, alongside former NRL player Blake Ayshford. The show starts with a bit of discussion surrounding which clubs fans are leading the amount of Grand Final tickets. Then, of course, the boys need to go over last week’s punting, once again led by Paul, as the lads see how they fared over the last slate. For the game this week, the panel were tasked with trying to recite every Grand Final match-up from 2025 back to 1995, and we think you will find this was a job for one man in particular. Once again, to close out the show, it is punting time, with the crew making their picks for the upcoming round of footy.

Welcome back to yet another week of The Advantage Line Podcast! This week, the show is led by the dynamic duo of Karl and Paul as hosts, who of course also have a couple of the regulars in Searley and Teddy to make up the four-man panel. The show starts in normal fashion this week, with the lads, led by Paul, going over last round’s punting and how everyone fared on that front. This is then followed up by a game where, as a team, the panel had to try to name as many players who have played a certain rugby league position in 60 seconds. A new segment is then introduced, as Karl brings out some old Rugby League Week magazines and the fellas look back at some of the headlines and try to see what they remember from those times. Once again, to close out the show, it is punting time, with the crew making their picks for the upcoming round of footy.

Welcome back to yet another week of The Advantage Line Podcast! This week, the show is led by Karl as the host, who is backed up by the dynamic duo of NRL guru Nick Tedeschi and former NRL player Blake Ayshford. To start off the show, we had a public sighting of Teddy at NRLW Magic Round, where he was seen trying to claim a high ball from a conversion. Following this, it was time for the weekly betting recap, as the lads updated the season-long tipping competition numbers. Then, of course, it was time for a game, which this week was the reappearance of “Would You Rather”. Finally, the show ends in classic Advantage Line fashion, as the panel preview four of the biggest games of the week and once again make their own picks for the upcoming round.

Welcome to another week of The Advantage Line podcast. This week, Paul has made his long-awaited return, and he and Karl are once again at the helm for the show. They are joined by a duo of NRL gurus in Searley and Nick Tedeschi to round out the panel. We kick things off today once again with the betting recap from Round 21 action. Then, we move into a new game where the panel, in a snake draft, choose the four teams they would hypothetically follow and support. Next up, the team play a staple of the show, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Then, of course, the lads round off the show with their picks for this weekend’s slate.

Welcome to another week of The Advantage Line podcast. This week, the show is led by Karl as host, and he is joined by NRL guru Nick Tedeschi and former NRL player Blake Ayshford. To start off, the trio run through the betting recap for the whole TAL from Round 20, where everyone hit their best bet but came up short on all other fronts. Next up, the team plays “This or That” as they go through and try to choose the greatest try of all time. From there, it was of course time to visit this weekend’s slate, preview the games and make their picks for Round 21 to close out the show.

Welcome to another week of The Advantage Line podcast. A different feel to this week’s edition of the podcast, as there is a four-man panel but one key cog missing, with Paul not making the line-up. Regardless, the show had to go on, and it started with the lads covering off the previous weekend’s action, the results of their tips and where they sit in the comp across the season. Next up, would it be an Advantage Line podcast episode without a new game being introduced? This one has been described as elite, and we can confirm it was an absolute beauty. And of course, to close out the action, the lads preview this weekend’s upcoming action and make their picks across the slate!
