Episode 85 | "We don't need Tass"

Clarkie and Guildy take the reigns without their co-host Tass who is away in Japan (insert sad-face here). Clarkie ditches the Super League’s ‘Around the Grounds’ out of protest as the boys cover a whacky Round 7 of the NRL, dissecting Jack Wighton’s decision to retire from rep footy, Nicho Hynes a certainty to make his Origin debut, Jarome Luai’s hair-pull fiasco and still no clarity around hip-drop tackling! In our fan-favourite “Bunker Review Segment” the panel discuss: If current NRL players should be able to commentate on NRL matches, the Top 5 tacklers in the NRL, and what players are smelling in the dressing rooms. —— CONTENT: NRL Recap~ Round 7 (brought to you by Akasha Brewing Company) Tipping & Supercoach Updates Rabbitohs def.
