Episode 177 | "Out the Backdoor"

The Sharks and Panthers have managed to knock the Raiders and Bulldogs out in straight sets respectively as all eyes turn to the Final Four clubs left in the race for the 2025 NRL Premiership! As we preview the Prelims, we ask: Can the Panthers write another chapter in the dynasty or will the Broncos end the streak? Can the Sharks continue their underdog story or are the Storm willing to go one better from last season?... We also discuss the changes to the NRL Finals schedule, and preview: the Super League elimination finals, the NRLW Prelims, the NSW Cup and QLD Cup Grand Finals, and finish up with our review of the 2025 Schoolboy/Schoolgirl Cups!——TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro05:55 - Clarkie’s Good Guy of the Week vs. Who’s in Guildy’s Bin14:49 - Episode Overview16:00 - Bunker Review: Sharks def.
