Martin Devlin and Tony Kemp present episode 14 of the Rugby League Hour, brought to you by MicroBio Solutions. Every Monday during the 2024 NRL season on The Platform, Devlin - host of It's Only Sport - is joined by one of the best rugby league analysts going around in Kemp, the ex-Warriors coach and Kiwis representative.

First off, Marty and Kempy recap the action from round 15 of the NRL season, which featured a number of surprise results, including the Dolphins surviving a Cronulla Sharks fightback to win 30-28, the South Sydney Rabbitohs making it three in a row with a 22-12 victory over the Brisbane Broncos, and the Wests Tigers breaking their nine-game losing run with an 18-10 win over the Gold Coast Titans. The Melbourne Storm remain top of the table thanks to their impressive win over the Warriors, with the Penrith Panthers in second, the Sharks in third and Dolphins fourth. The Sydney Roosters, Canterbury Bulldogs, Canberra Raiders and Manly Sea Eagles make up the teams sitting 5-8.

Then, it's Up The Wahs - a segment that Marty and Kempy dedicate solely to chatting about the Warriors. This week's edition focuses on the Warriors' heavy 38-24 defeat at the hands of the Storm in Auckland, which ended a three-game winning run for the Mount Smart club. The boys question how the Warriors let slip a commanding 14-0 lead early on, whether or not Shaun Johnson should be dropped after an underwhelming performance, and more.

Next, it's He's A Ledge, and this week it's a New Zealand rugby league favourite in the form of Richie Blackmore who features on the podcast. The outside back represented the Kiwis on 25 occasions, and played his club footy for the likes of the Warriors, Castleford and Leeds. Marty and Kempy chat with Blackmore about memories from the famous 1991 trans-Tasman test win over Australia in Melbourne, how Blackmore's career started, and much more.

Then, Marty and Kempy go head-to-head debating a number of NRL topics, including if the Roosters are still a premiership contender, and what the new Warriors halves combination should be if coach Andrew Webster elects to change it. Kempy hands out the Effluex clean-up award for the player, coach or team who did their job better than anyone else on the weekend - someone who rolled up their sleeves and turned gunk into gold. And to finish things off, Kempy lists his five best teams in the NRL right now on TK's Top 5.
