  • Do a little research.

    Love this poddy but come on guys, do some research, look where the games are being played!! Two games in Perth and one in Darwin this week and you can’t even check an app to see where the games are being played. 5 stars, will still listen.

  • Make it a Monday!

    Can’t get enough of Dai’s recycled Australian news chat. Back door beads talk is fire but seriously what’s that useless Titans supporter actually bringing to the pod?

    Absolutely stuff all!

  • Highlight of my week

    I look forward to each Tuesday to get a reaction about the previous round of the NRL. I wouldn’t be mad if the podcast was even a little longer because sometimes I feel the need to dig deeper into issues not just recap the games. Basically I just want more.
