Leaguel Counsel is a free flowing rugby league podcast delivered straight into your eardrums every week
Just under two short weeks separate us from actual meaningful Rugby League, that’s about enough time for 2 assaults, a household pet scandal, a contract dispute and a spineless decision by the games governing body. Welcome to the NRL everybody!
The die hards have probably been counting down the days to dine out on the poo plater that is the World Club Challenge but they will probably watch any semi organised incarnation of “the peoples game” We all know that the players don’t give a Donald Duck about these fixtures and are just limbering up until the big boy stuff hits our screens on March 2nd.
Now you have about six weeks grace before your team starts to show who they really are, like can the Tigers string more than three straight above average performances together? Can the Roosters bounce back from that dog of a year last year (sorry, not sorry) and is this Knights team anything more than a collection of semi warm bodies?
These are the questions that you are probably desperate to know and if you listen to this podcast you may just find out. This week is part 1 of a 2 part season preview where we break down half of the leagues rosters and make some bold predictions, some outrageous statements and even throw in some sneaky good bets for all the desperate punters out there.
Oh and if that doesn’t give you blood well then how about this little bell ringer from Steve Matai…In the cornrows.
