Leaguel Counsel EP 7

NRL Elimination Final – Bulldogs v Knights

We are already a quarter of the way through the NRL season, yep that’s right six games over 26 weeks minus the two byes equals one quarter.

Now this is about the time where your team is actually starting to show who they are, I think you can safely know who they really are once we are at the half way mark.


So then what have we learnt after six weeks?

To make it easy on you i’ll give you a highlights package but if you want to impress your friends at the pub or seduce the local coffee lady with your abundant league knowledge then listen to Leaguel Counsel and let us get you up to speed each week.

  • George Burgess and brother Tom have officially turned into powder puffs (see David Shillington circa 2014-15)
  • Mitchell Moses is making James Maloney look like a defensive specialist…oh yea and the Eels were so taken with his defensive prowess they offered him $850k a season!
  • BJ Leilua still has the shortest fuse in the NRL but now he is also the worlds best centre
  • The Sharks are going to give back to back a really good go…and might just end up playing the Storm again in a GF replay
  • Kieran Foran is back…and he is fantastic
  • The Dragons are low key leading the comp
  • The Eels paid $850k a season for Mitchell Moses!
  • Cooper Cronk wont be playing for the Storm in 2018
  • Jason Taylor was the first coach to go and the Tigers wisely swooped on Ivan Cleary to replace him
  • The 2017 Cowboys injury toll could rival the 2015 Panthers
  • Mitchell Moses!

Leaguel Counsel is a free flowing podcast largely covering all things Rugby League and occasionally touching on innocuous everyday stuff.

Boks need more depth: 5 things on South Africa's Christmas wishlist

You cant have your cake and eat it too, hoping for a fantastic greatest rivalry series while talking about not forgetting Argentina and Australia makes about as much sense as owning a private jet, racking up the air miles and then giving a speech about how we all must stop flying to reduce greenhouse emissions. The greatest rivalry series has damaged the Rugby Championship. The relevance of Argentina and Australia has never been greater than it was this year when both were part of an incredible Rugby Championship in 2025 that was everyones for the taking after 4 rounds. The Rugby Championship should be building on the momentum created in 2025 creating new stories and a cult following but instead its just not happening thanks to the obvious money grab from SA and NZ. This series is an affront to Southern Hemisphere unity and completely leaves out 2 great Southern teams who are left to fend for themselves with a diminished home calendar. Sure NZ will honor the Bledisloe and Austalia will get a test against the Boks and the same may be true for Argentina next year but not having the Rugby Championship clearly damages the comp and fewer fixtures against the Boks and All Blacks diminishes the rivalries that are being created with Argentina who are always the biggest losers. It also forces NZ fans to have just a 3 or 4 tests at home in a year where theres no world cup as it will SA fans when their turn comes to tour the land of the long white cloud in 2030.
