    The Advantage Line 2025 | Episode 42 | Final Episode for 2025
    Nov 13 2025
    Welcome back to another episode of The Advantage Line Podcast! It’s the final episode of the year, and the lads wrap up an epic season of rugby league. They review the last weekend of internationals, where Australia beat England 30–8 to sweep the Ashes 3–0, and New Zealand claimed the Pacific Championship over Samoa. A big talking point was Deine Mariner’s disallowed try — would the result have changed if it had counted? The boys agree the match was played at Origin-level intensity, international footy now could be the pinnacle. Kieran Foran farewelled the game in perfect style, ending a phenomenal career, while Dylan Brown picked up three Man of the Match awards and showed his worth for Newcastle next year. They also give credit to Stacey Jones for silencing the doubters. The team looks back on a massive 2025 from Las Vegas and Magic Round to the Pacific Champs, calling it one of the best NRL seasons yet. To finish, they wrap up The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and throw out some early 2026 predictions, naming their premiers, top 8, wooden spooners, Dally M winner, and Team of the Year for 2026. That’s a wrap for The Advantage Line 2025 — see you all early next year!

This week, the lads kick things off a little differently with a quick game of “All Say the Same Player’s Name.” Does it go to plan, or straight to shambles? They break down the good, the bad, and the ugly from the weekend’s action. The Tongan fans created electric scenes at Eden Park as Keano Kini lit it up for the Kiwis. Meanwhile, somehow Jarvo has done it again joining Australia for their national anthem. Should the NRL step in to better protect players’ health after serious questions were raised over a huge pre-game head knock? It’s finally here, the Pacific Championships finals! The Kiwi Ferns are looking to upset the Jillaroos, while the Kiwis hope to carry on their fine form as they take on Samoa in the men’s final. Who will take home the silverware.
