  • Game Scheduling - great chat

    Loved the chat between JG and LK about scheduling additional teams in 2027/28 and beyond.. thought they might discuss having games running at the same time (in different states/ countries) by different broadcasters.. back to the old days when the NSWRL only played on Saturdays and Sundays

  • Wayyyyy too many ads

    Good NRL content and discussion but just too many ads (esp gambling). Having to constantly skip through ads makes this podcast nearly unlistenable. Shame

  • Love James Graham

    Listener since day 1. Had to stop the downloads unfortunately due to the increased presence of Charlie White on episodes and his sensationalised “opinions”.

  • Average at best

    Has no idea about anything outside of a few Sydney clubs.

    Suggested moving a Gold Coast club to Ipswich, laughable

    Maybe when pokiies are banned in 5 years time, the Dogs will be broke and they can move.

  • Meh

    I was a full time listener for the last couple years, now I have given up. It’s mostly just dribble now and Charlie’s takes are horrible. He’s like listening to nails down a chalk board.
