Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings
  • Good

    Firstly, the sound could be improved. There’s an echo.

    I like that it’s more analytical and based on the sport more than other shows. Could probably be even more analytical. Blake is a very good communicator and speaks quite lucidly and originally about things. Hopefully that’s maintained and the show doesn’t become generic.

  • A bit different to the daily NRL ones

    Blake’s a lot like Luke Keary and breaks down what happens on the field really well. It’s definitely different and better than a few journalists reading their rumours out on air.
