In this episode, we've got the final two teams in our 2021 season previews series - and we've saved the best for last. We discuss the Melbourne Storm and the Penrith Panthers, and then we follow up our discussion in the last episode on the new rules to be featured in the 2021 NRL Season by spending some time proposing a few rules of our own that we’d personally love to see trialed in our game, the greatest game on Earth.

This episode's got some sizzle to go with the steak, including:

 

❓ how did the Penrith Panthers manage to stumble so badly at the final hurdle - failing to score a try for the first 51 minutes on the game's biggest stage

 

❓ will a Grant & Munster combination gel from the get go in 2021 or will the extra weight on Mad Dog Munny's shoulders hinder the Storm's chances of going back to back

 

❓ could an attacking kick tackle restart or a right of response in extra time be just the ticket to bring the excitement back in areas where it's started to get a little stale

 

Team Segment Start Times:

 

Storm - 1:10

Panthers - 26:00

Proposed Rules - 49:00

In this episode, we preview the 2021 seasons of last years 4th and 3rd place finishers in the regular season - the Sydney Roosters and the Parramatta Eels. We also discuss the new rules of our game at length, including our thoughts on the new rules we saw in 2020 and the many continuances of those that are being implemented in 2021. 

 

❓ With the Sydney Roosters holding back on recruitment and banking on their current stars - can a few of their ageing stars and leaders stay healthy and, more importantly, keep pace with the young talent coming into the NRL?

 

❓ Can Mitchell Moses step up in 2021 and share some of the load being ably carried by King Gutho?

 

❓ Will the new rule where every try is reviewed by the Bunker be enough to eliminate the major gaffs we've seen over the past few seasons?

 

Team Segment Start Times:

 

Roosters - 0:45

Eels - 26:30

In this episode, we're done with the pretenders and we're into the contenders with the season previews of the Cronulla Sharks, Newcastle Knights, South Sydney Rabbitohs and Canberra Raiders.

 

There are some hot takes in this one, such as:

 

🤔 the Sharkies and their flagrant mismanagement of their salary cap has left them with no choice but to wallow in the middle of the Premiership pack for many years to come

🤔 Mitchell Pearce is actually a really good bloke, just misunderstood (lol just kidding)

🤔 if Latrell Mitchell plays 90%+ of the season, the Rabbitohs may just be unstoppable

🤔 Jarrod Croker is undoubtedly the leader of the Raiders - but he may also be the weak link in the back line of an otherwise borderline unstoppable team.

 

Team Segment Start Times:

 

Sharks - 0:40

Knights - 18:30

Rabbitohs - 38:15

Raiders - 1:04:00

In this episode, we continue our Season Previews with the New Zealand Warriors & Gold Coast Titans. We also give our take on Cameron Smith aka The Accountant aka "The Goat" - will he or won't he play?

 

We're not even sure if the man himself knows - but we list the For and Against in the case of Cameron Smith @ the Gold Coast Titans.

 

Some of the topics we found ourselves divided upon in this episode include:

 

🤔 will the #ThiccBoi strategy the Warriors seem to be deploying this season pay off and get them into the top 8?

🤔 could Kalyn Ponga's noggin survive following in RTS' footsteps as a fullback in the Super Rugby?

🤔 was it all really Cameron Smith at the Melbourne Storm all these years, or is the Bellamy + Storm system the best there's ever been when it comes to creating superstars?

🤔 can the Titans go from being the hunters to the hunted after a big offseason of hype?

In this episode, we're done with our life stories and the introductory crap and rip straight into four more season previews. This time around it's the Cowboys, Sea Eagles, Dragons & Tigers.

 

We find ourselves wondering:

 

🤔 if the Cowboys can finally find the right positions for their top players

🤔 if Tommy Turbo is actually a better player than Tedesco, just with more brittle bones, tendons and ligaments.

🤔 if the Dragons stand a chance after losing their two representative stars (hint - we don't count Ben Hunt as a rep star)

🤔 if the Tigers can turn things around this season and get back to 9th (or better)

In this episode of Rippin' In | An NRL Unfiltered Podcast with Spencer & Alex, we say g'day for the very first time.

We introduce ourselves and what this podcast is all about, before tearing straight into our first two season previews for the 2021 NRL Season - the Brisbane Broncos & Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

In the Broncos segment, we discuss how the bloody hell they can recover from an abysmal 2020 (or if they can recover at all) and their players under fire.

On the Bulldogs, we cover their big recruitment drive and whether or not we see these players (and coach) as the solution to what has been so very broken for the past few years.

 

Broncos - 15:00

Bulldogs - 52:30
