Episode 127 | "NSW finally drop Teddy; QLD no longer underdogs"

The State of Origin period is upon us once again as the official lineups for the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons were announced for Game 1. 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. Our NRL coverage for Round 12 has been shortened dramatically after some technical issues. —— TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 04:02 - Episode Overview 05:00 - Who’s in Clarkie’s Bin: Luke Keary 10:45 - State of Origin: NSW Blues Game 1 Team Analysis 1:03:30 - State of Origin: QLD Maroons Game 1 Team Analysis 1:29:35 - State of Origin: Game 1 Predictions 1:34:22 - TSS Tipping & Supercoach Leagues: Round 12 1:36:48 - NRL Round 12: Wrap-up 1:51:36 - Rapid Fire Tips: NRL Round 13 1:53:23 - Super League: Round 12 Results + Ladder Update 1:56:38 - Tass’ apology and love for the fans —— Click the link to follow us on Instagram, Facebook & TikTok, check out our sponsors, or to listen on your preferred podcasting platform: https://linktr.ee/thesidelinestoryrlpodcast —— Proudly sponsored by: * ADSE Apparel * Akasha * Rusty Penny Brewing Co. —— Hosted by Daniel Tassone, Nicholas Guild & Ryan Clarke.
