Episode 186 | “We have just witnessed once-in-a-lifetime history”

Alex Johnston, take a bow; the greatest try-scorer in Australian Rugby League history. The boys discuss this historic feat and dissect the moment as it happened, as well as the aftermath. In the NRL, Parra bounce back after serving back-to-back losses to the reigning premier Broncos, Warriors, Storm and Panthers standing above the rest, Tigers looking the goods in their season debut, Cowboys and Manly fallen off a cliff, the Knights win comes at a heavy cost after losing Dylan Brown and Kalyn Ponga, and the Dolphins win a forgetful match. Our fan-favourite ‘Bunker Review’ segment discusses Ponga’s switch to the Kiwis, Xerri’s potential Bulldogs exit, and Warriors refusing to release Barnett unless they get a player in return. Around the Grounds we cover Round 4 of the Challenge Cup, and the Women’s game ridding the tiered-system in International footy.——TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro03:15 - Bunker Review: Alex Johnston becomes greatest try-scorer in Australian Rugby League19:29 - Episode Overview20:15 - Bunker Review: Roosters def.
