Here Come The Panthers | The Advantage Line Podcast 2026 | Episode 8
The Advantage Line Rugby League PodcastShow Notes
A new week of The Advantage Line is here as hosts Paul and Karl once again lead a panel of NRL gurus. Joining the panel this week is resident NRL expert Nick Tedeschi, along with oval ball connoisseur Searley.
Kicking things off, the lads get into the hot topic of injuries around the league and, rather than focusing on this year, they look back at some of the worst in the history of the game.
From there, the spin the wheel segment is back and lands on the Bulldogs, which then turns into a discussion about their opponent this week, the Panthers, and how absurd a start their winger Tom Jenkins has had to the 2026 season.
After further discussion about other teams around the league, the panel once again zeroes in on their punts for the weekend as their season-long tipping contest begins to heat up.
