With the season over before it really started, what will the boys do? Can Sean stay on the straight and narrow? Will Tony open his own private gin-joint? Or will they both follow Parky to the promised land?

Dressed in individually designed hazmat suits, the boys are facing their own harsh examinations and probing for answers. Together with the League they're being put to the test. Will the results be positive?

Tony's frothing, Parky's champing at the bit and Sean has stocked up on toilet paper but don't worry, they aren't infected by anything other than excitement. The lads are eager and reaching fever pitch in anticipation of the new footy season. 

Only one week to go before the competition proper kicks off. Tony's jack high, Sean has been 'man-managed' and Parky's been rubbed-down. The Rugby League Apologists are getting excited, or are they just delirious?

More of the latest sports news. Some of it true. New Rugby League 
segments and frivolousness abound.

We are the Rugby League apologists. We have followed footy since we can remember, and love the game warts and all.
