‘WARRIORS’ HAKA MAGIC’: Metcalf stuns Penrith as Panthers' spine crumbles | Round 23 review

August 10, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

We break down a huge Round 23, starting with the Sharks' shock loss to the Dragons and what it means for Craig Fitzgibbon's premiership window. Plus the Warriors' Indigenous Round classic over Penrith, Luke Metcalf's statement performance, and the injury blow that could define the Panthers' finals campaign. We dig into the halves decision at St George Illawarra, Blaize Talagi's omission at Penrith, crunch the numbers on who's locked into the finals eight, and answer your BS messages of the week.
