  • The thinking man’s sport poddy

    Finally, a sports podcast that gives Kiwi sport the respect it deserves.

    Feels like you’re just talking footy with one of the lads, good laughs, sharp insight, and easy listening the whole way through. Proper rugby league chat without all the overcooked media nonsense.
