The Sideline Story: Rugby League Podcast

View Details

After a one-week sabbatical, the boys return for their longest episode yet to make it up to the fans in a HUGE two weeks of rugby league! Kicking things off with the lineups for State of Origin Game 2 and all the changes NSW and QLD make from Game 1. We also delve into the selection of Latrell Mitchell after his resurgence in 2024 amongst others, as well as Billy Slater dropping Selwyn Cobbo. Plenty to cover in Rounds 14 and 15 of the NRL with the return of TPJ, major moves in the player market for multiple NRL and Super League clubs, Roosters investing in USA Rugby League, and much more!

View Details

A sombre panel for our immediate reaction to the QLD Maroons victory over the NSW Blues to take a 1-0 lead in the State of Origin series. Massive talking point as Joseph Suaali’i gets sent off in the 8th minute of the game with much conjecture surrounding the decision at this level. The boys discuss which players stepped up and which ones faltered as things heat-up surrounding what needs to change for each team in Game 2, with Suaali’i the centre of attention in this argument. The lads also go in on the poor Fox Sports ratings for QLD and NSW before previewing the historic sold-out Women’s SOO match on Thursday night, reviewing Round 13 of the NRL and Super League, before announcing a new partnership for “Around the Grounds” where Tass reveals the future of test and international rugby league and the changes to future World Cups. Episode dedicated to the memory of Rob Burrow.

Our panel go into deep discussion for every selection, particularly the axing of James Tedesco and David Fifita, the dramas surrounding NSW’s halves, Api overlooked for hooker, the odd Selwyn Cobbo bench choice, as well as the 6 new faces for NSW and 1 new face for QLD.

Broncos or Panthers for the Minor Premiership? Warriors and Storm lock-in a top 4 spot, but will the Warriors bow out in straight sets? Knights earn a home elimination final after their 8th win in a row, but are they genuine premiership threats? Which 3 clubs out of Sharks, Raiders, Rabbitohs, Cowboys and Roosters will qualify for finals?

We then head ‘Around The Grounds’ for the Round 23 results of the Super League, the Round 6 NRLW results, the top 5 finalists for the NSW Cup, the Week One results in the QLD Cup finals, and the crowning of our inaugural Sideline Story Supercoach champion: Deanooo!

In our fan-favourite ‘Bunker Review Segment’, we discuss: the new perks for winning the minor premiership and if they are beneficial or not, and our predictions for the Sideline Story MVP.

Last year’s grand finalists, Parramatta, have bungled out of the finals race, meanwhile Cronulla and Melbourne solidify a top 8 spot - with 5 teams eligible for the last 3 finals spots, which clubs will qualify?… We also discuss if Manly were robbed against the Warriors with THAT tackle on Garrick, Luke Brooks’ farewell BBQ, the resignation of Tim Sheens, the rise of Kalyn Ponga, the fall of Latrell Mitchell, and TPJ’s “retirement”. Clarkie also takes a 2-pt lead in the tipping comp, and Dean -vs- Jack in our SuperCoach competition grand final!

We then head ‘Around The Grounds’ for the Round 22 results of the Super League, the Round 5 NRLW results, the ladder leaders in the NSW Cup, QLD Cup and Championship (UK), Toronto Wolfpack going 2 from 2, and the announcement of the 2023 and 2024 Pacific Championships for the Southern Hemisphere nations!

In our fan-favourite ‘Bunker Review Segment’, we discuss: if player depth has been affected too much in rugby league, and if James Tedesco deserves to be Australian Kangaroos fullback at the end-of-year Pacific Championships tri-nations.

With Manly dropping out of the NRL Finals race and Panthers, Broncos and Warriors the only teams locked in for finals footy, we are left with 8 clubs to fill in five spots for that Top 8 ladder. Meanwhile on the bottom-end of the ladder it looks like the Tigers will be claiming back-2-back wooden spoons… We also discuss the retirements of Wade Graham and Jarrod Croker, the exorbitant contracts for Tino and Fifita, where we think Payne Haas will end up after rejecting $1.2m, the closing of the Eels premiership window, and the long-awaited return of Ryan Papenhuyzen!

We then head ‘Around The Grounds’ for our analysis of Leigh Leopards’ golden point Challenge Cup victory and the rise of their club under Derek Beumont, the Round 4 NRLW results, if Andrew Johns will take over Toa Samoa as head coach, the return of the Toronto Wolfpack, and some ex-NRL players making the Wallabies World Cup squad!

In our fan-favourite ‘Bunker Review Segment’, the NRL will open the 2024 season in Las Vegas, the CBA finally being settled, and Clarkie tests Tass and Guildy’s Clive Churchill Medal knowledge! (P.S. Go the Matildas!)

A sobered up Clarkie makes his return for a huge episode this week as the road to the NRL Finals heats up now that State of Origin is over. Mathematically 14 teams can qualify for the Top 8, however the boys whittle it down to 9 teams who could realistically crack a spot. The boys also discuss drama in the head office for the Tigers (again), the in-form teams of the comp in the Panthers and Warriors, and all the drama reeling from the Eels controversial victory which saw three huge suspensions, not to mention a look into our Junior and Police Origin stars! We also update everyone on the standings for NRL & Super League (even our MVP Leaderboard, Tipping and Supercoach competitions)! We then head “Around The Grounds” for the Super League Round 19 results, as well as a potential return to the NRL for Aidan Sezer and Jai Clifford!

We pay tribute to Tina Turner - an icon in Rugby League and pioneer for ushering in a new era for the sport - as the boys give their final word before State of Origin Game 1 for this week’s “Bunker Review Segment”. Latrell Mitchell is ruled OUT and the boys analyse his replacements in Stephen Crichton and Matt Burton, more injury clouds over some key Blues players as QLD escape training unscathed. Backlash over NSW’s “alternate” jersey, Adelaide as a neutral venue as it struggles to sell-out, and the Women’s 2-game series confusing structure! Tass protests twice today, firstly against NRL Round 13 being Origin-affected, but more so over how poorly run International RL is at the moment after France withdraw from hosting the 2025 World Cup.

Finding his love for rugby league at a time he and his family struggled to make ends meet, putting in the daily grind and plenty of sacrifice to one day break into the NRL, Leilani's journey to reach these heights was never an easy one.

A Wests Tigers junior who flourished under the Canterbury Bulldogs rep system, to then debut as a Penrith Panther in first-grade is just the tip of the iceberg for our humble Indigenous-Italian-Tongan interviewee.

At the peak of his powers, Leilani was one of the most terrifying prop-forwards in the game and his journey reflects that sentiment.

Although not a household name, Brent Varga, the Hungarian rugby league test international from Mount Druitt, has one of the more unique rugby league stories to tell.

From a tall, lanky fullback coming through the Penrith Panthers junior system, converting to the wing (and enemy code in rugby union) turning out for the Penrith Emus in the Shute Shield, before coming full-circle making a return to ‘the greatest game of all’ to become Hungary’s 47th capped RL international.

Recorded in our Western Sydney Brewery Studio, Brent Varga shares his passion for the game of rugby league at all levels and what it truly means to play this great sport.

The concept is simple: We picked our 3-2-1s after every match throughout the regular season, and from this came the "Sideline Story MVP & Team of the Year" which we compared to the NRL's Dally M equivalent. Plenty of differences between ours and theirs!

The worst part of all this is when the boys rehash their Dally M Crystal Ball Predictions (from episode 3)... their strike rate is abysmal...

Hear the journey of how a young Western Australian-born, Lithuanian boy took up the sport of rugby league to one day reach it's pinnacle by signing a contract with the then-known New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL), playing first grade with the Western Suburbs Magpies and Balmain Tigers.

Mick endured through a golden era of "the greatest game of all", playing alongside Wests legend Tommy Raudonikis, a great friend of Mick's until his passing earlier this year, also John Dorahy, John Donnelly, Steve Blyth and Ronny Giteau just to name a few. Not to mention, lining up against immortals in Artie Beetson and Bob Fulton.

Mick took to the field during the 1970s, arguably the toughest era for rugby league, where he ultimately contributed to transcending the sport into what it is today. His contribution off-field is just as significant, currently chairman of the Wests Ashfield board (40 years after representing their clubs) and also giving back to his junior club, the Concord-Burwood Wolves.

Hear how a boy born in Sydney's Inner Western suburbs, blooded into a diehard Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league family, plying his trade in both league and union as a teenager, spends a decade and a half at the powerhouse Canterbury Leagues Club in Belmore during the Super League War, the Bulldogs Salary Cap Scandal, and of course the madness of their 2004 grand final victory, before becoming the C.O.O. of Wests Ashfield League Club.

We also segway into the Sideline Story of Bruce Walsh, David's late father, a prominent figure in the rugby league community in the 1980s for pioneering unique training techniques to develop athletes during rugby league's transition from semi-professional to full-time professional. An Australian Olympics weightlifting coach and strength and conditioning coach under the legendary Warren Ryan and Roy Masters, Bruce Walsh was a well respected man who inadvertently revolutionised the game of rugby league.

David Walsh's knowledge and experience within the greatest game of all is insightful, engaging and an absolute pleasure to listen to.
