The boys are back for another massive episode of League of Inches as Round 26 approaches, with plenty of NRL drama, contract news and big questions to unpack!

We kick things off with the $50 weekly giveaway, The amazing gesture from the NRL and South Sydney to have Jai Arrow play the next two games — and why comparing his situation with the recent Adam Reynolds saga is wrong.

The Broncos drama is back! Why did Reynolds want to play, only to rule himself out, and why were the coaching staff initially blamed? Did his retirement deserve a bigger announcement? And what do we make of Reece Walsh liking a post calling the handling of the situation “embarrassing and sad”? Is Michael Maguire guaranteed to be the man in charge next season?

Plus, we debate Mitch Moses’ captaincy, Joey Manu’s move to the PNG Chiefs on a two-year deal and where he should play, Jacob Preston’s huge extension with the Bulldogs, and Hudson Young’s massive $1.1 million Raiders offer as PNG looms.

We also discuss Cole being named ahead of Talagi with Cogger suspended heading into the finals.

Finally, we wrap things up with the Round 25 Best Bets results, before revealing our Round 26 best bets and tips.

The boys are back with another massive NRL Round Review!

We kick things off with the $50 weekly giveaway and event shoutout before handing out the Epos Now Player of the Week — with Herbie, Payne Haas and Matt Burton all putting their hands up.

The Roosters slip to 3rd after another disappointing performance, while the Knights fail to deliver on Old Boys Day — so what went wrong? The Raiders also couldn't get the job done for Josh Papali'i, producing another poor performance when the occasion demanded more.

We dive deep into Tom Trbojevic's importance to Manly and ask the big question — what is Turbo's best position going forward?

The Broncos put together a complete performance, but there's plenty more to discuss, with Joash Papalii told he can leave Parramatta and AJ Brimson also given permission to find a new club. Who should be chasing them and which teams would suit them best?

Plus, Corey "The Horse" Horsburgh is officially a Bear.

All that and plenty more on this week's League of Inches NRL Review!

This week on the League of Inches NRL Podcast, we unpack all the biggest talking points heading into Round 25!

We kick things off with the $50 weekly giveaway and a look ahead to the upcoming Caxton Street event before diving into the Bulldogs and the decision to reportedly lowball Jacob Preston? Is the $1.8 million offer over three years a sign of deeper problems with the way the Dogs are managing their roster?

Then it’s all eyes on Brisbane. Why do the Broncos seem to be viewed so differently by the media and their own fans? With Billy Walters extending his deal, what does the Broncos’ spine actually look like next season?

We also discuss Liam Martin reportedly wanting around $1 million per season and his willingness to test the open market, Payne Haas being ruled out of the World Cup for Samoa following hand surgery, and the Queensland coaching job that nobody seems to want. Could Wayne Bennett be the man who eventually answers the call?

Plus, we review our Round 24 Best Bets results and reveal our tips and Best Bets for Round 25.

RD24 is done and the NRL premiership race has been blown wide open! Join the League of Inches crew as we break down all the biggest talking points from the weekend.

We kick things off with our EPOS Now Player of the Week, the winner of our $50 weekly giveaway, and a reminder about the upcoming League of Inches event at Caxton Street Brewing Co.

Then we dive deep into the top three and the minor premiership race. The Roosters are making a serious statement after putting 82 points on the board and knocking off the premiership favourites, while the Panthers are limping towards the finals with five losses from their last eight games. Meanwhile, the Warriors are flying, scoring 40+ in two of their last three and dominating Penrith in between. Is James Fisher-Harris the difference-maker who can take them all the way?

We also ask whether David Fifita could be the missing piece for South Sydney, what on earth is happening at Manly, and whether the Bulldogs peaked too early after so much chopping and changing.

The Sharks and Cowboys both had their own destiny in their hands — but failed to capitalise. Are fans too quick to blame the officials when their own teams should be taking the heat?

And finally, Madge lets it rip in the presser and calls out his own team. Was he right to do it?

Round 24 is here and there’s plenty to unpack!

We kick things off with the $50 competition and a reminder about the upcoming Caxton St Brewery event next Saturday, before diving into some of the biggest news stories around the NRL.

What is really going on at Parramatta with Joash and Ryley Smith unavailable? Are there deeper issues at the Eels? We also break down the latest Sam Walker and Roosters contract drama, with a five-year extension reportedly on the table — but could Walker now be forced to wait until November 1?

Then there’s a massive Jett Cleary bombshell, with the young half reportedly asking the Warriors for a release to return to the Panthers and reunite with his family for 2027.

Plus, DCE is reportedly heading to Hull FC, Isaiya Katoa wants to remain a Dolphin, Horsburgh looks set to land at the Bears with Jnr Paulo potentially staying at Parramatta, and we debate the NRL’s proposal for a 3rd v 4th playoff on Grand Final weekend.

All that and plenty more as we preview a massive NRL Round 24!

Round 23 has delivered chaos, controversy and some serious questions as we break down all the biggest talking points from the weekend!

The Wahs are physical, fearless and absolutely flying, with Leka Halasima putting on a statement performance at centre. Has he finally found his position, and is Metcalf now a must-keep in the Warriors' side?

The Panthers have been dealt a massive blow with Isaah Yeo’s pec injury. Can Penrith still win the premiership without their leader, or has their title defence just become a whole lot harder?

Then we get stuck into the NRL officiating drama. Was Sua's HIA ever a head injury? Why wasn't the match clock stopped? And how did the Sandon Smith carry-on play out? At what point do we say “this game is a f**king joke”?

We also dissect Manly's shocking collapse after leading by 14, the Eels vs Rabbitohs clash, the controversial sin-binning involving Big Red and whether both players should have been sin-binned.

Plus, are the Sharks pretenders, can the Broncos' nightmare season get any worse, why can't the Dolphins be taken seriously, and why do the Eels continue to find ways to fail?

🔥 Wahs flying. Panthers in trouble. Manly collapse. Sharks exposed. Broncos sinking. Eels failing. NRL chaos.

Join us for a massive NRL Round 23 review as we break down the wins, losses, controversies, injuries and biggest talking points from the weekend.

The NRL landscape continues to evolve, and we've got plenty to unpack in this week's episode!

We react to Matt King's appointment as the new NSW Blues coach on a two-year deal and discuss whether he's the right man to lead the Blues into a new Origin era.

Wayne Bennett has also made headlines with his comments about the PNG Chiefs having an unfair advantage. Is he right, or is the criticism overblown? We break down both sides of the debate.

Expansion is back on the agenda as the NRL pushes towards a 20-team competition by 2029. With the South Island of New Zealand emerging as the favourite and South West Brisbane also firmly in the mix, we discuss which bids make the most sense for the future of the game.

Plus, we review how our Round 22 best bets performed before giving our favourite tips, predictions and best bets for Round 23.
