Episode Time Stamps

0:30 - Intro and News of the Week - Haas extension and the death of Kyle Turner

4:18 - Cowboys v Sharks review - Sharks bench forwards make impact giving Nicho a platform while the Cowboys' bubble appears well and truely burst in 2023.

9:27 - Warriors v Manly review - Right Wingers' day out, Referee decisions in the spotlight (we prove their correct) and the Wahs resilience to get the 2 points while any hope Manly had appears DOA like Josh Schuster's performance.

17:05 - Eels v Roosters review - Are the Chooks back as AJ praises the heart and soul of the side in Lindsay Collins. We criticise the Eels' efforts as their right edge defensively was bathed by Luke Keary.

26:26 - Tigers v Dolphins review - TANK BOWL RETURNS as the Tigers get out of jail with Api Koroisau showing the ice in his veins. The Dolphins tried with their injury-depleted side but we criticise Wayne Bennett's coaching rotations.

33:36 - Titans v Panthers review - Klese Haas' running inconsistencies, Dylan Edwards' outstanding game and Penrith putting debutant Tom Weaver to the sword!

39:24 - Dragons v Storm review - Crazy game of footy with defence not the aim of the game on BOTH sides! Melbourne does enough to escape but looks defensively vulnerable. Building blocks for the Dragons heading into 2024.

45:05 - Knights v Souths review - Knights show their finals class with Clune proving a ready-made replacement for Jacko. Souths imploded in spectacular fashion as we ask the question on Latrell Mitchell and his ill-discipline.

54:31 - Raiders v Bulldogs review - Despite the win, we're left here questioning Canberra's finals credentials... YES we are. Canterbury tried hard, but ultimately their discipline and defense was their downfall.

1:00:39 - NRLW Round 5 review - wins for Sharks, Dragons, Roosters, Knights and Canberra.

1:04:25 - Lower Grade Report - Round 25 of the NSW Cup and the final round of the Hostplus Cup before the finals plus we look at the first week's matchups.

1:25:20 - LOLCOW of the Week - Taking Accountability and Harry Maguire!
