  • 'That's Being Generous' Murray Mexted Grades All Blacks Season So Far

    'That's Being Generous' Murray Mexted Grades All Blacks Season So Far
    Oct 9 2025
    On the DSPN, host Martin Devlin and former All Black Murray Mexted dissect New Zealand's mixed Rugby Championship campaign, debating coach Scott Robertson’s squad-building strategy and whether the ABs' focus on developing a “first 45” instead of a “first 15” is paying off. Mex argues the selectors are prioritising depth and psychology over short-term wins, building resilience through rotation. However, he warns the team still struggles with possession and lacks dominant locks and loose forwards.

    'Best I've Ever Seen' - Tony Kemp on Reece Walsh & Broncos' NRL Premiership Win
    Oct 8 2025
    First off, DSPN host Martin Devlin delivers a sermon on New Zealand Cricket, and how the current format of the sport in NZ has turned him off COMPLETELY. Then, former Warriors coach Tony Kemp joins the show to break down Brisbane’s stunning NRL Grand Final win over the Melbourne Storm. Kempy calls Broncos star Reece Walsh's performance the best he's ever seen in a decider, crediting Walsh's mix of balance, speed, and instinct and how it lifted Brisbane from mid-season turmoil to champions. He even compares Walsh to legends like Wally Lewis and Stacey Jones. Marty and Kempy also chat about the threat of the R360 rebel league, the future of international footy, and the Kiwis’ challenges with player eligibility and heritage loyalty.
