State of Origin is right around the corner, so we each run through our squads for each side with plenty of nailed-on picks and controversial selections. In other Rugby League news, Brad Arthur and the Eels have parted ways ending a coaching tenure of more than 10 years. As one coach leaves, another returns … The Rabbitohs have pulled off the signing of the season with the worst-kept secret of Wayne Bennett returning to Redfern. Where will Rabbitohs finish in 2025? 

We review Round 11’s Magic Round with the teams and players that impressed us the most. We also look forward to Round 12’s Indigenous Round previewing all eight games with our tips, selections, try scorers and stats. As always to round off the episode we end with listener questions submitted by all the Patrollers - Who is the Rookie of the Year at the moment?
