The One NZ Warriors are back for the 2026 NRL season and so is Running It Straight!
At their new on-air time of Tuesdays 6pm, hosts Sam Hewat and Anthony Gelling run through the Warriors' team list named to face the Sydney Roosters in their Round 1 home opener against the Sydney Roosters.
Warriors assistant coach Richie Agar joins the lads to give his thoughts on the side and how the roster is shaping up for the season ahead with key players out, plus how head coach Andrew Webster might use the new interchange rule.
Sport Nation will have live and free commentary of the NZ Warriors vs Sydney Roosters from Go Media Stadium Mt Smart from 7.30pm Friday, with Hewat providing the play-by-play call, Gelling is on the sidelines, and Blake Ayshford adding his analysis throughout.
