  • 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.

    On another front he comprehends and has a sound knowledge of players past, a storyline sadly eluding many of today’s current crop of podcasters. For those unaware there were actually half backs before Nathan Cleary….

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

Ask Me Anything: Origin 3, Best Era of Footy, Dark Horses and Much More
Q: Which era would you show someone to get them into footy, and why do you prefer that period?

Q: Why aren't you filthy at Billy for naming an alphabetical squad like you were Loz, and is there a need to kick up a stink about it given both sides do it?
The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of a consistent squad announcement process, arguing that naming a fixed side (1-19) would spark conversation and allow fans to discuss and compare without constant changes.
