  • NRL Round 16 Review - Wahs Implode as Manly Forget Their Spare Seven
    AJ + Rhys review a big week in footy. They start with a comprehensive review of the U/19’s Origin as the stars of tomorrow strut their stuff. They quickly turn to the Storm’s professional win over the Phins as they praise the second coming of Tyran Wishart. Super Saturday saw the Titans massacre the Wahs, leading Rhys to question whether 3 Titans stars can fit in the same backline as both hosts go in on what’s going wrong across the Tasman. AJ celebrates the Roosters going into the top 4 with a convincing win over the Dogs as coaching selections reign havoc on the Dogs. Souths hold Manly to 0 as Anthony Seibold seems to forget they had a halfback playing reserve grade that could’ve plugged the gap this week. Before wrapping up with the Tiger Cubs mauling a disenchanted Raiders side. They look at the UK paying tribute to Rob Burrow CBE and review the lower grades with a comprehensive wrap of the NSW and QLD Cup.
