In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan are joined by Wales Rugby League coach and BBC pundit John Kear to discuss his career as a player, coach and TV pundit. They discuss the state of the game domestically and internationally, whether it was a good idea to cut the World Cup participating sides from 16 back to 10 and whether we need to re-think the season schedule. John discusses the impact Magic Weekend is having on the Challenge Cup, gives his take on IMG and throws his support behind suspended Sheffield Eagles coach Mark Aston. He also reflects on the high's and lows of his career and whether the game needs to bring back the 9's format.
