What is the opening banter and episode preview for Wahs Weekly Episode 14?

Tristan K'Nell 0:16
Good morning, everybody, and welcome along to WAZ Weekly, your favorite weekly NRL fantasy potty. My name is Seaballs. It's great to have you along. Episode 14 of the 2026 season. You join us as me and my two buffoon buddies make our way through the highs and the very low lows this week. Hello of the NRL fantasy season. Let's bring the boys in. Wee Mart.
Josh Corby 0:38
What's good? What's good, boys? Yeah, long weekend. So I'm, yeah, enjoyed a few days off, actually. So happy for me.
Tristan K'Nell 0:47
Good bit of R&R. That's good to hear. And the Jay Warrior, what did you do for your long weekend,
Andrew Burden 0:51
buddy? I was down in Dunedin. So it was reasonably pleasant down in Dunedin. And, yeah, all good. So, but, yeah, feels like I went to Dunedin and my fantasy team stayed away.
Tristan K'Nell 1:07
Oh, we will get into that. Yeah, as the boys have revealed, long weekend here for all our Aussie listeners. We had King's birthday weekend one weekend early, so enjoy that next weekend. But yeah, it's been lovely to have a few days off. What's on the show this week? We'll start over in Fantasy Corner shortly. A little bit of advice if we can wrestle some together. We've got some punishing draft chat, run club update, yeah, nah, jibber jabber. Richie, we've got a jibber jabber this week. He's nodding away this week. It's back. And then, of course, we do have to talk, boys, about the Warriors going down by a couple of points to the dynasty that is the Panthers. So I suppose we should talk about that. It's probably what most people are tuning in for, let's be honest.
Tristan K'Nell 1:48
They all think we do a better show when we lose. So hopefully we don't disappoint. Boys, should we crack into it? You ready to go? Let's head to Fantasy Corner. NRL Fantasy Corner. Fantasy Corner time, and as we always do, we recap our fantasy week that was by going from the outhouse to the penthouse. And this week, in quite the reversal of fortunes, it's the Jay Warrior taking it away first.
Andrew Burden 2:18
Yeah, rough week, um... Yeah. Some could say it was poor buy planning because I forgot that the Sharks were on a buy. No, they weren't. What? Every player I had from the Sharks was on a buy. So I had overplanned and I had Nico Hines and Cale Eero and both didn't turn up for work. And then with Cleary not backing up, I was drastically short and and in the end scrambled around and ended up with 12. I just couldn't bring myself to get another center or another winger. Well, another center, really, because I did bring in Reece Walsh this week. I brought – who did I bring in? I also brought in Big Reveal, and there's a bit of carry-on afterwards. I also needed a hooker because – I had another player. I had Jaden Braley, who previous week scores 44, but picked up a head knock and was out.
Andrew Burden 3:26
So I then didn't have a hooker. And for the first time this year, like a dog going back to its vomit, I picked up Crossland because he also plays in 18. Welcome back. And can I give an absolute slapping? He ran for precisely zero meters. Zero. Didn't run. Like, have a look at yourself, you bludger.
Tristan K'Nell 3:57
I'm surprised a statistician can't even find like one meter where he took a step forward, but no. It's awful. So
Andrew Burden 4:04
his bludgy scores are back. Yeah. I kept in Couchman. He went okay. But, yeah, it was just a rough week for me. Brought in Walsh, who scrambled a half-decent score like everyone else, probably left the decent score on the bench while I played Lissardi's 48, the safe 48. Yeah, it was just a rough week.
Tristan K'Nell 4:36
You did bring in another half, didn't you?
Andrew Burden 4:39
Did I not mention it?
No.
Andrew Burden 4:41
Yeah, I brought in Adam Reynolds because when Cleary wasn't going to play, I needed someone. And he got 44 points.
Tristan K'Nell 4:51
Who did you trade out? That's probably the question the punters have been asking us. Who's gone? Nathan Cleary, buddy.
Andrew Burden 4:58
He's not playing for the next five games, mate. Oh, boy, oh, boy. And I have got so much cash and, like, 12 getting injured means that – There's even more cash on the table. So regardless of, you know, I'm going to bring in Terrell May this week. That's a certainty. So, yeah, and I'll still have money. I can get Cleary after five weeks. So, yeah, it is a rough week.
