Set Restart RL

#10 - We are joined by former Hull FC winger, Andrew Mighty. In part one, we discuss the transition from moving from South London to Hull and the challenges and opportunities that it brought. He gives us an insight into the massive differences it was training with Fulham to Brian Smith's, Hull FC. In part two, we have an open and honest discussion about racism in sport and the role that social media has to play in racism. We want to thank Andy for sharing his experiences and being honest about the difficulties he's encountered with racism. Thank you Andy!

This week we talk to former Leeds Rhinos legend, Barrie McDermott about his passion for the Hull derby, how it might compare to the Leeds Bradford battles in the early Super League era and his on-the-field feud with former Bull, Stuart Fielden.

And in confidence, Barry spills the beans on some of his Sky Sports commentary colleagues and the secret behind commentating when English sides play Catalan away in France.

Who is the man behind the camera? This week, we are joined by GRM Sport founder and official media partner of The RFL, Shawn Boatin as he discusses his route into Rugby League. It comes across extremely clear that Shawn is unbelievably passionate about the grassroots of our sport and it's really interesting to hear how he has managed to get the game millions of views! Not your typical rugby league fan, we explore areas in which we think Rugby League can develop further to promote the sport.

In #07, we got the opportunity to talk to current Hull FC prop forward and vice captain, Scott Taylor. He gives us the lowdown of how pre-season is going and how Brett Hodgson and Josh Reynolds are settling in at Hull FC. We also delve into Scott's impressive career to date, covering Skirlaugh Bulls, Beverley ARLFC, Hull KR, Wigan Warriors, Salford Red Devils and England RL. Of course, we couldn't not talk about those magical years when Hull FC finally won at Wembley! You can certainly say with confidence that wherever Scott has been he has left his mark...

In this weeks episode we got the chance to sit down and talk to former England RL, Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls & Huddersfield Giants outside back, Paul Cook. The Hull born international discusses the challenges of moving to Leeds as a 15 year old, as well as, the times in his career when for one reason or another he had to move on... 

Happy New Year! We return after the Christmas break with a famous rugby league family in Hull, the Holdstocks. Dave Holdstock is a current Talent Identification Staff (TIS) member for Hull KR and his brother, Dale Holdstock, is a former Hull KR player as well as, a number of other professional clubs. 

This weeks guest is current Head Coach of Catalans Dragons, Steve McNamara. This in-depth discussion delves into the wonderful playing & coaching career Steve has had in the game, which has taken him all over the world. From England to Sydney, New Zealand to the South of France, it really is an honest conversation regarding numerous hard hitting topics in rugby league right now. 

It's a must listen.  

This weeks episode brings you our first ever guest, CJ Adams-Richardson. CJ is a current Hull KR and British Army rugby league player who talks with passion and dedication to grow the women's game. This really is a great insight into women's rugby league, in what is a big year coming up (Rugby League World Cup 2021), and how the sport needs to take advantage of this opportunity. 

This week, we look back on Super League's best ever Grand Final between Wigan & St Helens. This prompts us to ask the question ''Is Rugby League the greatest game?'' We also take a look at what's been happening at Hull FC & Hull KR this past week. Does the arrival of Brett Hodgson mean Jake Connor has a run at full back next season?

Our first episode reviews Hull KR's and Hull FC's season and the performances of the new signings. We also take a look at the upcoming Grand Final between Wigan and St Helens. There is also no way we also couldn't speak about the great man's 90th birthday, Johnny Whiteley MBE.
