Donald Trump's yet to sign-off on a tentative agreement between the US and Iran.  

US sources report negotiators from both sides have reached a deal to extend the ceasefire for 60 days, begin nuclear talks, and open the Strait of Hormuz.  

It's understood neither of the nation's leaders have approved the agreement.  

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that according to both Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the President’s not going to take a bad deal.  

Bessent says there are several red lines, including Iran turning over its highly enriched uranium, and allowing free transit through the Strait.

This weekend will be a test to see if this is truly the Warriors’ year. 

Sydney is hosting the top of the table clash between the number two Warriors and the number one Penrith Panthers. 

The Panthers have won ten of the last eleven clashes against the Kiwi side, but they’re also backing up after State of Origin.  

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking the Warriors need to get out there and show them what they’ve done this season. 

He says they’ve proven over the last five or six games that they’re a premier side in the competition, so they need to start performing like it and seal the deal.
