Found this show recently, fun and informative, great hosts keep up the good work.

Dull and dreary take on rugby league in the UK.

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

A lively, UK-centric rugby league show that combines match analysis with industry chatter, governance debates, and media/PR discussions. Recent episodes span Wembley finals, coaching moves, broadcast rights, and the growth of women's rugby league, while also exploring cross-border expansion in Europe and the NRL. Regular hosts bring banter and insider knowledge, and guests range from coaches and officials to writers, offering practical perspectives for fans, sponsors, and potential guests alike. A standout aspect is the blend of on-pitch insights with behind-the-scenes business talk, plus a history of long-running conversations that keep listeners informed about the sport's evolving landscape.
