Last year’s grand finalists, Parramatta, have bungled out of the finals race, meanwhile Cronulla and Melbourne solidify a top 8 spot - with 5 teams eligible for the last 3 finals spots, which clubs will qualify?… We also discuss if Manly were robbed against the Warriors with THAT tackle on Garrick, Luke Brooks’ farewell BBQ, the resignation of Tim Sheens, the rise of Kalyn Ponga, the fall of Latrell Mitchell, and TPJ’s “retirement”. Clarkie also takes a 2-pt lead in the tipping comp, and Dean -vs- Jack in our SuperCoach competition grand final!

We then head ‘Around The Grounds’ for the Round 22 results of the Super League, the Round 5 NRLW results, the ladder leaders in the NSW Cup, QLD Cup and Championship (UK), Toronto Wolfpack going 2 from 2, and the announcement of the 2023 and 2024 Pacific Championships for the Southern Hemisphere nations!

In our fan-favourite ‘Bunker Review Segment’, we discuss: if player depth has been affected too much in rugby league, and if James Tedesco deserves to be Australian Kangaroos fullback at the end-of-year Pacific Championships tri-nations.
