  • 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

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.
