Shane Flanagan sits down with James Graham for one of the most candid conversations you'll hear from an NRL coach. Flanno opens up about his brutal exit from the Dragons — the messages his family received, the moment that became the last straw, and how he found a way to move forward. He reflects honestly on his tenure at the club, his pride in the Dragons board, and just how hard it was coaching his own son Kyle.
Plus, Flanno reveals he still has a burning desire to be involved in the game — just not as a head coach — and why one of the new NRL franchises could be his next chapter.

The NRL has never just been about what happens on the field. Behind every win, loss or draw lies a story of politics, loyalty, betrayal, and survival. These are the stories that often shape the game more than the scoreboard ever could. In this special two-part series, James Graham, Michael Chammas & Charlie White unpack the moments of chaos, controversy and power plays that defined the last ten years.
These aren’t just headlines. They’re the moments that changed careers, redefined clubs, and altered the course of rugby league history!

In today's episode of The Bye Round, James Graham sits down with one of rugby league’s most controversial figures, John Elias. Once a rising star in the game, Elias lived a double life that saw him walk the line between footy fame and the criminal underworld.
Elias opens up like never before about his turbulent journey; from the highs of his playing days, the temptations that led him astray, and the consequences of living a life fuelled by secrecy and risk.
Raw, honest, and at times confronting, strap in for a conversation that pulls no punches.

On this episode of The Bye Round, Jimmy chats with one of the toughest men to ever lace up a boot — Paul Gallen. With his long-awaited grudge match against Sonny Bill Williams just around the corner, Gal opens up on a rivalry 10 years in the making. Why is he still stepping into the ring at 43 years old? Does SBW truly fear him? And what does he make of Sonny’s drug testing accusations?
This one pulls no punches.
