It’s been a busy week! Most of the games didn’t have a lot riding on them, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot to discuss. We’ll talk about board changes at the RFL and coaching changes at St Helens and Hull FC. We cover the fans-eye-view of the Super League Dream Team. And we recap a final round of Super League. But all of that seems like inconsequential, superfluous fluff compared to the NRL Review bombshell.

Now then listeners, Mark is joined by Aussie based Rich Wilkinson and the thunder from down under Paul Craig to have a look at British players in the NRL. We start with a retrospective looking at the players who've made the trip down under in the last decade. Then we look at how our boys in Aus might fare in 2020, with a special focus on George Williams' move to Canberra. Then we look ahead to Luke Thompson and the players that might follow him in future years, what that means to the NRL, Super League and the international game. Loads to chew over, we hope you enjoy it!
