Great podcast! Funny, knowledgeable and authentic. Refreshing approach to a sport podcast 👍
Breathe of fresh air. The great Sloth is the genius you didn’t know you needed in your life until now. If he isn’t on the Tele selling cars and avocados he is on the radio. Insightful, 5 stars on a bad day. Please get Jamie McDonald, Shane Muspratt and the great Dean Tass on as guests.
These guys are naturals, delivering humorous and informed takes on NRL and sports in general. Highly recommended
What a great take on Rugby League, sport and life in general. Johnny and Joel have a great way about them and some really powerful insights. I am in no way shape or form associated with the show or anyone involved…….
