We’ve had training sessions, a major injury, a sell-out Panel Show and more, but the announcement of a new captain seemed cause for a January podcast.

So it was with a joyful exuberance that our fearless leader Ash assmebled some of the troop, and Mick, Mora and Weissy gathered to discuss the past few weeks of news including:

* The rise and rise of Jai Newcombe;

* Will Day - what it means and how we feel;

* How our midfield is shaping up

* Pre season musings - who has caught Mick’s eye;

* Our next Panel Show - all tickets gone but some surprises in store;

* And much, much more.

We hope you enjoy - we will be dropping some articles over the next few weeks and will be back online for regular pods tin a fortnight!
