Found this show recently, fun and informative, great hosts keep up the good work.
RSW does a great job hosting, James Child is super knowledgeable and articulate and Phil is just rugby league royalty. Love it. Don’t love the noise of the pedestrian crossing being the star of the show every week though!
Dull and dreary take on rugby league in the UK.
Characterised by a downbeat and mumbling presentation, and disdain for ‘normal’ supporters with a different view.
RSW does a great job hosting, James Child is super knowledgeable and articulate and Phil is just rugby league royalty. Love it.
The content is fab, but please turn the microphones up - I listen to loads of load casts on headphones when I run
If you listen on headphones or in the car it’s very quiet
But love it all
