League By The Fireplace - An NRL Podcast

With a new found maturity we discuss: NSW Coaching Options – No one is putting their hand up for the vacant Blues coaching role so we put forward some options: one passive, one aggressive, one gladiatorial. Conspiracy Theories – Do the men in pink have preconceived notions, and is it them and not the salary […]

This week: Getting on the bandwagon – The Eels are playing better without a coach, perhaps ruining our spoon prediction. Stay tuned in 2 weeks for the “battle of the spoon”. NRL and the Olympics – Channel 9 are feeding Rabs amnesia pills for the swimming coverage, and we’ve found out he’s better at calling […]

This Week: Getting on the bandwagon – Souths supporters are coming out of the woodwork in droves. That’s good enough reason not to get on their bandwagon and to be cynical about bandwagons in general. We decide to start a spoon-wagon. Punishment during suspension – Some players treat suspension as a holiday, so we discuss […]

In honour of Rivalry Round, this weeks podcast will be up against silence, our fiercest rival. This week we discuss: Salary Cap Cops – Wake up Schubert! Luke Lewis has a choice of clubs; the winner will be the one who can offer the best post career “training” (read: holiday) Jersey Talk – No, no […]

We put on our prettiest dress to discuss the following: Raiders vs the Storm – We finally face off; Lobby vs Pedro, Cage vs Travolta. Face off, get it? Death of Rabs – Time for us to tear down another one of the greats. Ray Warren is potentially blind, senile and only travels via the […]

On this EOFY NRL Special we discuss: Why Are St. George Rubbish? – The experts say it’s their poor attack; we think more obtusely i.e. shit chins, shit haircuts, not enough respect for head bandage and shoddy stadium design. Raiders vs the Storm – the 1st official clash since we have started broadcasting between Lobby’s […]

A versatile episode from the self proclaimed “NRL Podcast of the Century”. ORIGIN – Our favourite Morris twins are getting all GATTACA on Origin. What will their jerseys say, who will present them and can teammates tell the difference between the two? Also, can Bellamy choose state over Storm? How big can a squad get? […]

Unlucky for some, a baker’s dozen for others. Mid Season Transfers – We pontificate if they should be illegal. should squad depth be rewarded and should your ability to recruit non NRL players for $1 be taken into account. Conspiracy Theories – Lobly and Pedroski investigate NRL cover-ups. Is Dave Taylor on the take in […]

This Week: Steal that Player (aka potential league converts) – Izzy and KHunt left us for fumbleball, but we stole Barich! What other sports can we raid to help potential expansion? Funny Does Not Necessarily Equal Good – Personality Players; Beau does not know Origin. We implore the NSW selectors to stop picking quirky characters […]

This Week: Gallop Away – The four eyed silver fox hath relinquished. We reminisce on his reign and suggest some worthy successors…including ours truly. Review of Predictions – Halfway into the regular NRL season we revisit our guesses on the premiers and spooners. Are we still confident or is a redaction needed? Jumping on the […]

Our personal butler Neeves opens the door to the log cabin and welcomes you to this weeks episode.  Fanmail – Last week we asked what would it take to bail on a team and Jick has forwarded an answer. From following the Bears and then moving onto the Sharks, this gentlemen is obviously a glutton […]

Welcome to our first ever State of Origin special. We set up the mics and invited some special guests over to the Log Cabin (a lot of them didn’t make it, eaten by wolves..but thats another story) to watch the greatest sporting spectacle on Earth. Fueled by biltong and pure emotion, listen in as this […]

This week we discuss: Manu Vatuvei – Manu is to NRL as Shawn Bradley is to NBA? Is he a game breaker, average or simply shit? Pedro brings some stats forward to argue the latter (with no help from David Middleton). If you were a coach would you put your life on the line for […]

This week on Origin eve: Origin Talk – Is the QLD spirit really Darren Lockyer distilled into a bottle? We put on our Hawaiian shirts and cue up to discover. In other news, we are not happy with the person running the Bronco’s twitter feed and their lack of respect for Mick “Staple Head” Devere. […]

“7th heaven..when I see their happy faces smilin’ back at me!!” This week: Shout out to Kingy – With no reply from Blake Ferguson on Twitter we decide to go “old school” and email Matt Kings management company. If we get any more old school we might eventually send a telegram. Jumping on the bandwagon […]
