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 what's to come in Round 17 on this week's episode of your favourite rugby league podcast!

The lads take a look back at the Warriors' successful maiden visit to Christchurch's Te Kaha, where they got back on track with a big win over the Cowboys.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad dials in to discuss his four-try heroics down south and his experience in the Garden City.

They also look towards this weekend's match of the NRL round, with the Warriors travelling to face the red-hot Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday in a monster top-four clash.

And with more developments in the bid for a second NZ NRL team fresh from the Sport Nation office, the boys discuss what that may look like and what impact it could have on the country and its rugby league landscape.

The Warriors head into their match in Brisbane as underdogs, paying $2.65 in the head-to-head on betcha* against the Dolphins ($1.48).
