Horo. I like your 2 groups of bunker refs. I reckon there should be 3 refs in the bunker, with a green button and red button. Majority rules the decision
The difference I find between South’s and Warriors is Webster has his players willing to play any position that’s best for the team like RTS playing centre/wing or Mitch Barnett playing prop or 2nd row where as Souths don’t wanna tell Latrell his best position is centre and he’s too lazy to be their starting Fullback. 75% of the time he catches a kick, he looks for his winger and passes the ball straight to him where as guys like CNK will run the ball as hard as they can to make as many metres before the opposition gets to them.
Guys no one is talking about Lomax to the knights, Gagai is off contract at the end of this season. He would be the perfect replacement? Right centre, similar money and a lot younger. Thoughts? Their were rumours the knights were chasing him 2 years ago.
Api and Egan for Origin, daylight second
So that game on Friday. From the Knights. Gets Ponga to the top of the dally M table. What a joke.
Great stuff lads, thanks for having a crack at my question too, you covered it well, I agree with Mas that the situation of fullbacks performing covering tackles is very different to line defence so permitting the shoulder charge in that situation or making a rule change could be done, they put so much work into coming up with new obstruction rules every year to the point the only option is for players to disappear when they could do a bit more focus and refining on the pre existing rules to better the game and possibly make it safer.
tropic thunder 🤣
You two always defend Mitchell's pathetic shit play. Calm it what is don't fucking sugar coat it
RPL dive of the month your joking, him running into JWH to milk a penalty is beyond me, the diving and acting is worse the the EPL. We need you boys in the bunker cause this game is hard on the eyes. If I didn’t have a same game multi on I wouldn’t watch.
Guys lateral need a good wack to come down to earth challenge the probs
Mase said the warriors 13+
Hey legend! Love the poddy! Please do a little white board session with the Egan/warriors ruck play! Including the 3&4 man/ A,B defenders!
It’s epic and would love to learn more cheers!
Watch the game latrallel elbow johnson no warriors come in to wack latrallel
Manly fan here! Was at the game against Penrith top game of rugby! Wish Cleary did play had manly won with him playing there wouldn’t be the excuse of “but Nathan didn’t play” I look forward to the game against Penrith at Penrith it will be the real test for me to see if manly are serious contenders.
hey boys love the pod, i just wanna see your take on warriors throwing the book at terrell may to cover afb coz i think he has the potential to get to that level, good shit boys been watching since the 2nd poddy so can’t call myself a day 1 but up scope and triple og.
That's the first time since 2020 that Panthers pack looked shellshocked, Fish looked a touch lost when Brown put the target on him. Can't wait for his response next time
I think the last 4 Origin series, and 2020 in particular, changed a lot of people's perceptions of DCE, myself included. He took the worst side of all time to the promise land, and took down the potential dynasty NSW should have had after 2018-9
Glad the raiders and eels got 3 minutes. What a joke

Ok been watching the game for 50yrs plus, time for some cold hard truth, the game is us pandering to the aboriginals, no more spotted jerseys, no more victims,poor me poor me feel sorry for me round games, no more welcomes and smoking ceremonies, no more of their anthems, it's a dead set joke, every week it's all about them, I want my family to go to a game in their teams jersey and recognize the team they support, want some fun banter, reduce the salaries and reduce the tickets a food and drink prices…I want my game back, you can't take kids to a game to watch LM and CW carry on every week like thugs and dogs and stay on the field let alone play the game…ps one punch can kill, so can an elbow to the head of a guy running at you unprepared for a dog shot, SJ had no chance to brace or anything…send off and 6 months if you want to be real given his history, LM does more damage to players and the game than any other player I've seen in 50 yrs…disgraceful is being kind…
Brad Arthur at the eels for 10 years …my mid is blown
If wayde doesn’t make it he’ll become ware by citizenship and make the kiwis 🤣🤣
Brad Arthur is not even in the same league as robbo. That's a shit take. He's won 3 grand finals in that time 2 back to back Brad Arthur has played 1 final and then didn't even make the 8 last year. That's ridiculous
Knew 100% that big Mase would pick Nathan Brown as Dawg of the Week.
Well deserved.
What does a “lick” mean?
NZ should have its own origin like games, North Island vs South Island
Thoughts on no presentation by nrl for OG jennings
Gents, love the show, great to listen to whilst at the gym. Let's talk Jack Whighton, is it safe to say that he would have regrets about his move?, as ex players, tell us how you would feel leaving your best mates and long time coach and mentor to join a rival club full of stars in the hopes to win a premiership in your final years in the game only for the club to explode and implode at the same time.
Mitchell isn't a fullback
Scope reading out the stats "I don't want to give it away", meanwhile I watched the game and though, if Nathan Brown isn't dawg of the week then Mase had too many scooners this weekend 😂
i love you wiremu
Is it time to put jackyy wighton back in the halves for rabbitohs ?? And bring Gagan or Munro in center ?
Love the poddy boys! Would love to hear your thoughts on Jack Howarth? I thought he looked great against the broncos and could have a breakout season if given a shot. Interested to hear what the greatest Backrower ever (Scope) has to say. @levelsnetwork
Usually struggle against the bunnies was really nervous before the game ,but well done boys that was a perfect 80 min performance 💙💚❤️ Up the wahz..
Any chance of getting an updated finals top 8 from the boys. From memory brother Wiremu had about 14 teams in his pre season top 8. Cheers lads
Sorry guys completely disagree with what you said about robbo, ive seen worse or similar this year for what dom young did and hasnt been a bin or send off if every instance similar to that was dealt the same fine but it wasn't different rulings for different teams and its obvious and couldve ruined the game
To me, the Rabbitohs have always been that arrogant, aggressive, bully team but because people shit the bed every time they show any kind of aggression, they’ve toned it down and you can really tell by how lacklustre their gameplay is
I’ve got a question for Mase specifically. Bulldog Ritchie has criticised Ricky Stuart for standing down Jarrod Croker before his 300th game, told Benji the hours he’s supposed to work, and told JD to grow a backbone. Since he knows everything do you think he is the man to replace JD?
Hey guys, down since day one ish.
Quick question?? Why dont teams sub some guys around during the game ie at Parra how come they don’t play Gutho at fullback in defence cause he’s an elite defender, then play him at 5/8 in attack and move D Brown to fullback In Attack?
Just a thought maybe there’s a reason behind it.
Also shout out to the Aussies killing it in the WWE over Wrestlemania weekend.
D Middy☝🏼
Hey I heard scope about to say cam smith is an immortal because he'd still do well in a tigers system. Is that good enough comparison for what Thurston did at a club like the cowboys? He seems to be dropping out of the conversations around immortal status but everyone is quick to forget about his achievements. Qld don't win 8 in a row without him and north Queensland would be a shell of what they are without the success he brought them. Thoughts?
What's your thoughts on lussick potentially facing a ban? It seems he's being punished for the outcome of the play, resulting in an injury, where his intent was not malicious, he was simply trying to charge the ball down.
UP Triple OG & HOZ. Levels #1 UP DA WAHS
I think if Souths want to get themselves out of this hole, they need to go out and recruit a captain, I think it’s more important than any other position they are lacking in. Murray leads so well with his actions, but that’s clearly not what this team needs. Watching him in that presser when asked about Latrell was super concerning if I’m a Souths fan. There appears to be no accountability at that club. They may have dropped cook but if Latrell wasn’t suspended he’d still be wearing the #1 this week. Some of the current captains and leaders in the NRL would not accept the standards that have been set, and the likes of Burgess and Reynolds certainly wouldn’t either.
The last 18 months, JD has been too scared to put a rocket up LM & CW. Sam Burgess has been vindicated with everything he said that was the problem with the Bunnies. Certain players were receiving favouritism, & special treatment from the coach & those players were not repaying the loyalty and faith that the coach showed in them by not abiding to the clubs standards & expectations, both on and off the field. Not pulling those players into line early has allowed that cancer to spread throughout the playing group. The Bunnies looked fried & JD head is on the chopping block. He will need to do an Adam O'Brien and go on a hot streak to keep his job.
I think two of the Bulldogs tries came from forward passes.The Kitau to Burton 3rd try, and the Mahoney to Hughes 4th try. All up a shit refereeing effort
GI tackle on Dean Young is nearly the reason they banned the shoulder charge boys. AT FULLBACK
Hey Guys loving the podcast keep up the great work! Got a question around injuries in game now. It feels like every year there is more and more injuries and a lot of them long term injuries! What are your thoughts on what is causing this and do you think the rate of injuries have increased from when you guys were playing? Thanks Guys
Lads! Love your work. Just hoping you can offer some insight and explanation about some Rugby League Jargon. “Playing for each other” how is this different to just playing hard? And ‘man managing’ in a coaching context?
