  • Sound quality is awful. At least one of the presenters constantly hits the mic and is often clearing their throat down the mic. Sounds AWFUL in headphones

  • Dave Ellis - great interview

    Fascinating podcast with Dave Ellis and very interesting to hear his journey so far. His insightful analysis of Super League and risk taking was one the RL should listen to, especially when it comes from a talented individual with such amazing life experiences. Well done League Express!

  • A concise round up of the week in RL

    From the people who bring you Rugby League World and League Express, this a a great podcast to keep you up to date on the past weekend of matches, a concise break down of the latest news and a look ahead to the coming weekend of matches. It would be improved with an interview with a rugby league personality at the end, as this seems to be the usual structure of successful podcasts nowadays.
