Super League Pod

Special guest host Hull KR fan Tom joins Mark this week. We recap Round 23 of Super League with your fan match reviews. It’s kind of a losers pod this week, with both host’s teams on the wrong end of things in their games, and a good representation from the losing Giants and Hull FC fans in the reviews. More fan bases start to look to next year with optimism. But this year isn’t done either as we give our latest guesses on how things will shake out. Plus, make your guesses now for which ref came in for the most flack in the fan views this week, it’s unfortunately quite an open race.
