The Player: Blairy knows what it’s like to wear the league boots and run it straight. He’s played for the Storm, Broncos, Tigers and the mighty Warriors, clocking up 51 tests and a World Cup win for New Zealand. As current head coach of the Māori All Stars, he can provide analysis from all sides.

The Fan: Goran’s been a mainstay on our TVs and radios for almost two decades. He’s covered multiple major events for Sky and did 17 years behind the mic for Radio Sport. The Eels fan loves watching high-quality sport, but none more than league: “When the NRL season begins, that’s my bread and butter.”
