March 17, 2024 NRL Round 2 Review - This Season is an Acid Trip!
AJ and Rhys return to give their take on the week that was. On the program the boys highlight the Broncos win over the Rabbitohs, the Sharks too strong for the Dogs. Penrith's determined win over the Eels which included some Tago brilliance against a weak edge. Super Saturday saw a calm Raiders win before a chaotic Cowboys win BEFORE Melbourne's epic come from behind win over the Wahs. Sunday's slate saw AJ implode when the Roosters struggled to a 7 point loss to Manly while Dolphins feasted on the Dragons. The boys do UK Watch, Round 2 of the NSW/QLD Cup before a Supercoach sell rage. This concludes with our LOLCOW of the Week.
