Surprise!

We couldn't let St Helens being crowned World Champs on Aussie soil pass us by without a dose of Saint David smugness could we!? So here's Mark & David recapping the big win for David's side and our competition.

We'll talk about the match itself and the possible legacy this leaves. Plus, which was greater? Wigan in 1994 or St Helens in 2023?

Get strapped in for the Rugby League Awards the fans decide. It’s time for your 2022 Super League Pod Awards & SLP Dream Team show. AKA the 9th Annual Sloppies.

It’s going to be a tough listen for Leeds fans, in fact most fans who aren’t St Helens, as we recap the Super League Grand Final, with your fan match reviews and the key stats from the game to help us along. There are also consequences in Featherstone to discuss and three World Cups to start getting excited about. And, not one but two quizzes, that include some lesser-known stats and facts that you can impress your pals with.

So much to discuss this week despite just two Super League matches to review. As well as the semis and the disciplinary fall out, we’ve got the Women's Grand Final to recap, plus play off action from across the game and some minor finals to talk about too. We also drip feed in our live reactions to the Man of Steel Awards throughout the show and all the way to after we say goodbye. Plus we make our Grand Final guesses too.

Just like the players, we move in to play off elimination mode this week. We recap two different Super League games, one involving a dip in to the French MMA scene and one for the underrated and overachievers. Plus we cover off the big news from outside of the play off clubs and we whizz around the results and goings on across the world of rugby league.

It’s been a busy week! Most of the games didn’t have a lot riding on them, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot to discuss. We’ll talk about board changes at the RFL and coaching changes at St Helens and Hull FC. We cover the fans-eye-view of the Super League Dream Team. And we recap a final round of Super League. But all of that seems like inconsequential, superfluous fluff compared to the NRL Review bombshell.

Our second, and let’s hope the last ever, double header weekend of the year in Super League. So double the games, double the stats, double the refs faults and double the fall outs! You listeners have managed to give us fan views on most of the games in time for the show. We’ve got bad actors, bad morals and bad losers. We’ve got good youngsters, good tries and good comedy. We recap what has been decided so far, speculate at what is to come and run the rule over all the action from the fans eye view.

Some late news hits feature throughout the show this week. IMG ask fans for their views, so we air ours. Wigan gets a new possible King of King Street and Hull’s sailors just have an abundance of hookers to delight in for 2023. There are some new Knights to run the rule over too. There’s a fun new SLP traffic lights game for you to play, advice for anyone heading to Utah and we talk about crisps.
