2025 Stable Chat #1 – Off-Season Chaos Begins

The season might be over, but the chaos definitely isn’t. In our first Stable Chat of the off-season, Britto and Ringer jump back behind the mics to unpack everything that’s gone down since full-time — and somehow it already feels like one of the wildest off-seasons we’ve ever seen. We cover Ashes takeaways, the Pacific Championships, international standouts, selection shocks, breakout Broncos, and the huge talking points dominating the rugby league world — including that R360 saga, player movement rumours, and the long-term implications for the NRL. Plus: • Who impressed and who didn’t in rep footy • The Eli Katoa controversy and what it means for player safety • Why the Pacific nations might be closing the gap faster than anyone realises • Departing Broncos and how it reshapes 2025 • Predictions, concerns, and future watch-outs heading into World Cup season Off-season or not — we’ve got plenty to say.
