  • Knowledgeable and to the point

    As an avid fan of several NRL podcasts I must say Guru provides listeners with the most comprehensive and professional delivery of content on today’s game. He basically understands and “gets” league better than the rest.

    Well worth the listen for those who love the game. Highly re... more
