In this week's Monday Sports Report podcast, Ash, Luttsy, Mitch and Nick Davis recap the previous round of NRL action. They talk about the grit Reece Walsh showed playing through injury against the Broncos, and debate whether he should replace Nathan Cleary at halfback for NSW in Origin 3 if Cleary can't play. Looking at the ladder, they analyse the Warriors' chances of finishing top 4 and discuss the daunting prospect of facing them in Auckland during finals. The hosts also examine Isaiya Katoa's blockbuster $6.5 million contract with the Dolphins and ponder whether they'd pay that much for a player.
