League By The Fireplace - An NRL Podcast

This episode of the podcast is brought to you by the concept of punctuality. Don’t be late to download. Excuses to be late for training – A few players have been dropped for not making it by the coaches stated time. Sure it could be the sign of a lazy player but there are also […]

Come one come all and let us rehabilitate you. If you want some extra ambience you can listen to the podcast on your roof and pretend we are having roof chats. What to do with banned players – If many players are struck from their teams at once, the NRL will have to find a […]

One half of the dynamic duo is under the weather but we push forward to bring you our weekly dose of NRL ramblings. Bandwagon – Our team to stick with until they lose is the Eels. Reni, Black Alfie and the Hayne Train lead the list of bandwagon drivers. Fantasy League Update – Some super […]

The season is so close we can smell the Dencorub. Fantasy League Explosion – It’s official, people are way too obsessed with Super Coach/Dream Team etc. We decide to hop on this bandwagon in an attempt to keep up with the more popular twitter accounts and new podcasts on the block (read: selling out). Salary Cap […]

Before the season proper begins, we travel into the future in our Delorean rented from Thrifty Car Rentals. The Top 8 – Which teams will be in, which teams will be out, we talk some shit then shake it all about. You do the team predictions, which ones are finals bound, that’s what it’s all […]

The Podcast is back for 2013. With the NRL to return in two weeks, we discuss what’s been happening in the game in our absence: Rule Changes – Most of the changes to the game in the offseason have revolved around Greg Inglis. The shoulder charge, benefit of the doubt and origin eligibility are the […]

The NRL season over, this week we deliver you an extended tasty morsel, including: Season Summary – Pedro was Nostrdamus like in his predictions and cocky in his winning ways.  Some thing’s however cannot be predicted; the rise of Everingham, bandwagons good and bad, life lessons at Leichhardt Oval and the rise of evil Gyngell. Shout […]

This week, we recorded live at the Log Cabin’s summer retreat on Grand Final day. Besides between game bullshit, we discuss: Grand Final Memories – Remember that thing about that player of something who did a thing. Yeah same, it was great. Retiree Tributes -A piss poor tribute before we can forget about these guys […]

As the countdown to the big one begins, we discuss: Getting on the Bandwagon – It’s obvious who Pedro is going for in the main game but we have observed people getting on the bandwagon of different comps (under 20′s, NSW Cup). Watch out for minor comp know it alls at your grand final parties. […]

Strap yourself in (seatbelt kickbacks) for: Raiders vs the Storm – We reflect on our teams seasons so far and ask what can stop the Storm; Ryles, Molly Meldrum or someone being asked to guess “Kostjasyn” in Wheel of Fortune. International Rugby League Update – Recently announced games include Italia vs Fiji featuring Gert Peens […]

This week, listeners are treated to a guest co-host: THE BEAST! Supplemented with Pre-records, we discuss: Introducing The Beast – We have a chat to Beast & talk about his fat necked Souths supporting Dad, how he got on the Souths Bandwagon & his like of the Biff at suburban grounds. Lobbys Telegram – Lobby […]

While Lobbys away, Pedro continues to play. Pre-records a-plenty!: Dally M – We were foresightful in our discussions of the Dally M. We state who we think should win the current categories. We also suggest some additional categories & state why playing in certain positions will never reap you Dally M love. Concussion – Its […]

This Weeeeeeeek: Getting on the Bandwagon/Spoonwagon – The Eels are now confirmed for the spoon, so they decide the are in need of a venue upgrade and fake arse cheeks. We also apologise for cursing the Sharkies. Coaches; Fwds vs Bks – Who makes the better coach the brain or the braun. We extrapolate statistics […]

After a longer than normal intro: TV Rights – So it looks like Ray Warren will continue into senility, we won’t get any expansion and David Gyngell is a massive Karmichael Hunt. Millionaires – Rich owners can only take losing so much money (especially when they miss a shipment of horse ‘roids). We suggest some […]

This week: Raiders vs the Storm – Pedro thinks the top 8 is set. Lobby thinks this is a contradiction, because the Storm would have to lose to hinder the Raiders chances. Confusing? Refer to Pedro’s futuristic banner. “The Bible” aka NRL Operations Manual – Some have sinned and must be condemned to hell. If […]
