Running It Straight: NZ Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos preview
Sport Nation • May 13th, 2026 11:17 am
After enduring a Wahs-less weekend, the Warriors faithful will undoubtedly be in full effect for the NRL's annual showpiece in Brisbane.
The Warriors square off with the hometown Broncos on Sunday in what promises to be the marquee match-up of Magic Round. Can the NZ-based side emerge from their bye and record a fifth-straight win?
The hosts will head to Queensland as a betting favourite, paying $1.65 in the head-to-head on betcha* against the Broncos, who are comfortable underdogs at $2.25.
Running It Straight hosts Sam Hewat and Anthony Gelling dive into all of the fallout from another wild weekend of action, as well as previewing the rest of the slate at Suncorp Stadium on this week's episode of your favourite rugby league podcast.
The lads are also joined by former Warriors half James Maloney, the ideal candidate to weigh in on the developing situation involving Luke Metcalf's future with Tanah Boyd set to ink a long-term deal.
Join Sport Nation for live commentary of the NZ Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos from 5pm, Sunday, ahead of kick-off at 6pm.
