NRL Indigenous Round Special ft. Nicho Hynes, Kotoni Staggs & Rocket Rod

Welcome back to Chicks & Balls The Podcast: A Sports Podcast by Women, About More than Women's Sport!

In our 12th episode we have a big focus on the NRL's Indigenous Round which is happening this weekend and has a special place in our heart, especially for Marlee and Keely who are proud Aboriginal women from the Gamilaroi and Dunghutti tribes of NSW.

We're so lucky to feature the perspectives of proud Aboriginal players from the past and present including Nicho Hynes from the Melbourne Storm, Kotoni Staggs from the Brisbane Broncos and Marlee and Keely's dad Rocket Rod Silva, who played for the Sydney Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs in the 80s and 90s, to celebrate the round and highlight some amazing initiatives happening along side it!

We also introduce a new segment called 'Feedback Feels with Keels' and have all our regulars...
