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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Footy IQ

What is Footy IQ about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two rugby league analysis shows with a candid, banter-heavy vibe that blends deep tactical breakdowns, player movements, and coaching decisions across NRL and State of Origin. The hosts repeatedly dissect round-by-round form, referee trends, and strategy shifts, while weaving in anecdotes from their playing days and industry insights. A notable strength is the willingness to challenge conventional narratives and spotlight how injuries, lineup changes, and momentum influence finals and long-term team planning. The conversational chemistry and willingness to critique both on- and off-field dynamics make it particularly engaging for listeners who crave analytical takes paired with accessible discourse.
