Get Around This!

Well, we did our season preview last week, and the season starts this week, so you just know this week’s episode was jammed pack full of quality. Anyway, back to our usual length, we’ve got our final episode before the season resumes. This week, James McManus, our round 1 picks and your questions. 

This week, a blockbuster episode with the great Harry Ramage, so you know it’s looonnnnggg and goooodddd just how you like it. We discuss the weekend’s World Club Series and Charity Shield, then sink our teeth deep into our preview of each team’s season and our predicted finish for each side. After this, we find time to still tackle your fan questions. 

It’s 2 weeks until the NRL season and we’re joined by Ronald Doyle, as the boys do some pre-season bets with each other. We shortly recap the All Stars game, discuss the world club series, hit the news and also answer about 400 million fan questions. 

The 9s have come and gone, but the pre-season rolls on. This week, we get pumped for the All Stars, pick our NRL hunger games, talk off season news and answer all of your fan questions. 

Season 2017 is almost here, and with any new NRL season become those mediocre hot takes you’ve come to expect from NRL Boom Rookies as we return for our 3rd season as Origin hopefuls, previewing the 9s (as poorly as expected), chat offseason news and answer all of your fan questions. 

It’s the end of the season - sure that means we should have some kind of End of Season review? In this episode we chat Boom Predictions, Four Nations and THAT Jack Wighton pass, as well as plenty of tangents, questions, and a bit of gratitude too. Thanks for support this season, and we’ll see you in the next one!

The 2016 NRL season is over, but this show must go on. Mary K from Ladies Who League joins the boys to wrap up the Grand Final, as well as discussing the Kangaroos squad, Koori Knockout and Ray Warren’s commentary masterclass. All that, plus the usual news and Qs.

It’s time for the Big Dance! Bungard is back, Mitch hates the Queen (and Woodstocks), Dale has an identity crisis and Pickles delivers his assessment on a Cats player winning the Brownlow. All that plus the usual reviews, previews, big news and your Qs.

Bungard’s off, again, so Ron is back, again. This week, Rugby League died as the Broncos, the family club, got eliminated from the finals as the Cowboys and Raiders rolled on. We review the semis, preview the prelims and sink our teeth into a whole lot of news and fan questions. 

Bungard’s off to celebrate his birthday so Ron is back on the mic as we run the rule over everything that’s happened - and hoooo boy is there a lot. We discuss the first week of knockout fixtures and the big happenings both on and off the pitch, as well as looking forward to this week’s semi finals and answering your questions.

The regular season is finished, and so the hopes and dreams of half the teams in the comp.   The three amigos - joined by friend of the show Ronald Doyle - discuss captains’ challenges, Lei-pana magic, and the frustration of meaningless wins.   All that, as well as the usual views, news and Qs.

The penultimate round of the regular season deserves only the most brilliant analysis, and this episode has it in spades. Steel City Podcast host and friend of the show Harry Ramage steps in to a slightly shifted line-up to discuss the week that was, which NRL player has the best legs, and what the view was like from his ivory tower at Newcastle v Souths. All that and the usual shenanigans in The Longest Episode In History.

Round 24 has been and gone faster than an “accidental” kick in the face. The Dragons were hopeless, the Tigers were hopeless, Manly was - well, you get the idea. Special guest Steve Burman from the North Queensland Cowboys drops by to shed some light on the mysterious world of rugby league stats and analysis, plus the boys have all the usual views and reviews.

Round 23 has come and gone and finally all of our 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…? Teams won/and or lost. But mostly won. Yay? This week, we review all of the upsets from over the weekend, discuss this week’s news and answer all of your fan questions. 

Round 22 has been run and won. We review the games, froth over the Raiders, discuss Jarryd Hayne’s prospects in the Tour de France, and pay tribute to the victorious Aussie women’s rugby sevens team - plus there’s some actual discussion and your fan questions too.

Round 21s come and gone and all of our teams lost… Sigh. This week, Jarryd Hayne joins the Titans, Farah’s linked to Souths and we sink our teeth into a hell of a lot of your fan questions. 

Round 20 rolled around and all of the boys’ teams lost… Yay?  This week, we review all of the weekend’s game, breakdown this week’s news and answer all of your fan questions as always. 

Finally, we’ve hit the last of the bye rounds as we fight through an Origin hangover and review Round 19 of the NRL season. This week, the usual news, questions and all that jazz.

Well it’s a bye round, but that’s okay, we somehow managed to dribble more than ever with only 4 games of content! This week, Jarryd Hayne (yay?), Round 18 recaps, Origin dead rubbers and a heck of a lot of fan  questions. 

This week - all of our team’s lost, so we’re taking a different direction with the pod. Oh and I guess we do the usual stuff too, review round 17, answer your fan questions and talk this week’s NRL news.
