On today’s episode you can listen to my dulcet tones as I bring forth five points arising from round 7 of the NRL, and offer up discussion points for you all to consider as a result. Have Penrith and Melbourne already done enough to lock in a Grand Final match up come the first Sunday in October? The Dragons and the Tigers have found a way to win, but will that be enough going forward? The Knights and the Titans played finals last season, so what’s gone wrong in 2022, and can they reverse the trend? Is Ricky Stuart quickly coming to a sticky end in his coaching term at the Raiders? And what the hell is going on with the high tackle rule in the NRL? Coming up you’ll be able to hear my ideas, and maybe they will correspond with a few of your own, on a sort of new segment I like to call "5th and Last! NRL Talking Points", on the least listened to podcast on the net, Thoughts from the Metal Cavern.
