As the Wayne Bennett era goes from strength to strength in Redfern, the fellas break down the week's action, including a not-so-super Saturday, another win for Dale in the Roots/Doyle Derby, and just two teams remain who've forgotten how to lose - as well as the poor old Titans, who've forgotten how to win.
As always, there's news, your questions and plenty more!

Episode 137 - Wayne's Wookies

We are Boom Rookies, ESPN's rugby league podcast hosted by ABC sports writer Nick Campton and ESPN columnist Matt Bungard.
If you're look for something beyond the regular take cycle of the sport, Boom Rookies provides game-by-game analysis and previews, delves into the bigger issues of the sport, and still leaves plenty of time to indulge in some good old-fashioned footy buffoonery. From Monday's weekly recap to Friday's preview show, there's plenty of the kind of footy chat that Dave 'Coal Train' Taylor would be proud of.
So if you're a front rower with a halfback's skills, a battler who never quite made it, or just a keyboard warrior looking for ammunition in your next rugby league debate, look no further - because we've got you covered.
