  • Egos are impacting the show…

    Some really interesting guests and topics but Haskell loves the sound of his own voice too much. Starts to get annoying at times.

  • Great podcast

    These guys regularly have me laughing to my self. It’s nice to hear people talking a lot of sense but still managing to get the banter across too. The description Hask and Tindal have about never being as good or as bad as you think you are is absolutely on the nail. It would be nice if the media would take note of that rather than giving such criticism to teams that are losing by a point. Great listen from a Welsh man!

    Please please please tell Mike to talk louder into the mic, there’s so many times that you just can’t hear what he’s saying.
