Episode 1 of the 1992 HyperTheticRL season series

What makes Eels fans the way they are? Superstitious, never thinking their team are home in a big game and still somewhat optimistic?

The 1998 preliminary final against Canterbury could be the answer. Up 18-2 in the 70th minute and they lose the game.

I am joined by Mary from Ladies Who League to discuss what was her first Eels heartbreak and we posit what it would be like to be an Eels fan if they hadn't lost this game.

Everyone who wins gets a Paul Cariage Award which would likely not mean the same thing in our HyperTheticRL universe.

Joined by fellow NRL podcast whore, Media Watch Mario, we talk about what if Laurie Daley had been targetted by the ARL during the Super League War and had come over to the ARL. What would have been the effect....oh who are we kidding, we just chatted mostly about NRL and proposed a new idea for a podcast.

It was my birthday....thank you and I have a very special guest host. The lovely Lisa Hunter. Yes that's right, my wife.

We discuss NRL players, who they look like and why some are so unattractive.

When the "European Super League" (no the original one) was proposed in 1995, it came with a proposal of mergers of a bunch of clubs. I am joined by Richard Shaw Wright of Forty20 LIVE fame (amongst other things) to discuss UK geography and rivalries that this proposal didn't seem to take into account.

For this episode I am joined by the host of the Red V podcast in what I believe to be my final step of redemption for my crimes against the Dragons.....ready to do more in the future.

There is much talk of expansion and Perth is in the mix. With Phil Browne I look at what may have happened if the Reds survived.

For this episode I am joined by broadcaster and former NRL referee Luke Potter as we discuss the 1989 Panasonic Cup Final.
