State of the Game: Tony Kemp's Insight on International Rugby League

Tony Kemp, former Warriors coach and a proud Kiwi, joins Marty Devlin on the DSPN, to discuss the state of international rugby league. Kemp criticises the disorganised international calendar, while highlighting the potential success of a Tonga-Samoa 'State of Origin' series. Could it involve New Zealand in some capacity though? Kemp also emphasises the need for player leadership and organisational reform within NZRL to ensure future growth and competitiveness. Additionally, the discussion touches on the potential for a new NRL side in Christchurch and the prospects for the Warriors in the 2025 season.   Website: https://www.rova.nz/podcasts/dspn Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn
