  • Mixed bag

    There are some good elements of this podcast, buts it’s better consumed via Instagram reel highlights than sitting through multiple hour-plus long episodes that often just rehash the same opinions already shared on multiple other channels like Triple M and ESPN. Jimmy is great but just shouldn’t be asked questions about the bulldogs, he is unable to be objective or critical and so it’s a waste of time even discussing the topic. Keary has been a good addition.

    Used to be alright, but I legit just listened to them talking about horoscopes for 15 mins. If you’ve got nothing to say, maybe just do a 30minute podcast

  • No agenda

    Great to listen to an NRL podcast with no agendas. Good discussions on all teams. The others are dominated by News reporters who become apologists for the ex news teams. The courier mail reporters appear to be part of the Broncos marketing department

Q: Has Tonga, talking about the way you're going to play and don't get over coached, has Tonga got an advantage with Izzy Katoa and his club coach being the coach of Tonga as well?
Graham and Flanagan agree that the connection between Katoa and coach Christian Woolf is an advantage because Woolf understands how Katoa plays and can define the supporting half's role.

Q: From a coaching perspective, are you happy to see your players go, or is it a case-by-case situation, carrying injuries, lack of form, etc.?

Cameron George: The Rise Of The New Zealand Warriors
Q: If you are in charge of the commission, are you putting that 20th team in New Zealand?
