What a round to kickstart the NRL, no wonder why they call this the greatest game of all! The panel dissect the script-flipping Round 1 of the NRL, before heading ‘Around The Grounds’ to talk NRLW, Super League and the return of both NSW & QLD Cups. In the ‘Bunker Review’ segment, the boys discuss the role of the independent HIA bunker doctor, first thoughts of the amended 6-again rule, contract transparency for the general public, & the overhauled MRC and charge process. // TIMESTAMPS: NRL Recap~ Round One + the Akasha x Sideline Story MVP 321’s [05:30-1:31:00] .
