Episodes

  • Only four teams are left standing and this week's NRL preliminary finals are two great matchups. We break down the both games between the Storm vs Roosters, as well as the Panthers vs the Sharks. Can the Roosters break their losing streak against the Storm at Melbourne’s formidable home ground? And will the Panthers make their FIFTH straight Grand Final? 


    To wrap up the episode, we discuss the 2025 signings we're most excited about and predict who will excel at their new clubs. Additionally, Jimmy analyses the Cowboys' disappointing performance against the Sharks in last week's semi-finals.
