  • Bloke in a Bar

    Excellent game previews and reviews weekly with detailed and informative opinion from

    past players and experienced analysts. The boys turn a bit crass later in the week, but overall a leading podcast for those interested in an in depth analysis of the NRL from an impartial perspective

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Daniel Tupou RETIRES with FOUR Premierships w/ Sandor Earl
Q: Should Sam Walker or Mitchell Moses play halfback for Australia?
The hosts compare Walker's game-breaking potential and recent success with Moses's experience and exceptional kicking game. They lean toward Moses, especially with Nathan Cleary unavailable, while acknowledging either could be selected.
Daniel Tupou RETIRES with FOUR Premierships w/ Sandor Earl
Q: Is Daniel Tupou the greatest winger of all time?
The panel weighs his four premierships, long-term consistency, try-scoring, aerial ability and durability, with several considering him the greatest Roosters winger of the modern era and one of the most underrated wingers overall.
"It's a Dog Act!" - Paul Gallen UNLOADS on Nelson Asofa-Solomona
Q: Why did you decide to fight Nelson Asofa-Solomona despite having retired already?
Gallen explains he felt disrespected by Nelson calling him out with intimate knowledge of his retirement and personal stance, and he wants to respond to that in a way that asserts his boundaries and promotes a fair, honest approach to fights.
Discussing Payne Haas' ALL-TIME Rank! Plus who should be BRONCOS captain next year?
Q: What's the question boys heading into next year? Who do you think the starting 7 will be?
The group leans toward Ben Hunt as a favorite to lead the side, with Pezzutt, Duffy, or Carrigan as potential alternatives depending on preseason form, while acknowledging uncertainty around spine options and leadership dynamics.
Karl Stefanovic Uncensored: Post-Logies TV moment, a decorated media career and his new podcast
Q: How has journalism changed since you got in the game?
Karl believes journalism has changed dramatically due to the pressure of the 24-hour news cycle and the focus on getting headlines and clicks, which he feels is detrimental in some respects but acknowledges that there is still great journalism being done.
