We’re at the halfway point of the 2025 NRL regular season and the off-field drama is just as hot as what is happening on the field… Will the Top 4 change? Are Newcastle the worst team in the comp? Big problems brewing at the Brisbane Broncos? Will Penrith save their season? AJ on the cusp of NRL try-scoring glory, Wayne Bennett coaches his 950th first-grade rugby league match, The Player Transfer frenzy rumour-mill, and much more… We end our episode with the Super League results for Round 13 and Game 3 of the Women’s State of Origin match!
