Jacob Host

On this milestone 50th episode of The Cast Patrol, we sit down with current South Sydney Rabbitohs star Jacob Host. We get an inside look at his journey from St George Dragons to South Sydney Rabbitohs, and how he prepared for the 2023 NRL season coming back from a lengthy injury. Jacob gives us an insight into the NRL locker rooms including the best Mad Monday stories and who is the real king of Mad Monday (… results may shock you). He also talks about the influence of Wayne Bennett on his game style and his infamous over-dramatised beef with Latrell Mitchell at South Sydney training. As a player who's played in an NRL Grand Final, Jacob gives us a glimpse of what it's like to play on the biggest stage in the NRL. We also explore Jacob's unexpected Twitch streamer success and how the NRL COVID bubble in QLD helped his channel grow. And to cap off the episode, we run through our signature segments of Play On or Penalty and a Jacob Host quiz. Can you guess how many goal conversations Jacob has taken in his career?Don't miss out on this exciting episode, and congratulations to Jacob Host on extending his NRL contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs until the end of 2025.Jacob Host LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hostyyy/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/JacobHost?s=20Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/xhostyy/about0:00 Intro 0:45 2023 Pre-Season 2:35 Captaining South’s For The First Time 3:34 Goals / Plans for 2023 Season4:20 Are South’s Breaking Their Prelims Curse? 4:25 Hosty’s Predictions for 20236:45 Is Hosty’s Gametime making a comeback? 7:40 Early Life9:48 Australian Schoolboys Experience13:23 Signing With The Dragons 14:30 NRL Debut18:08 Mad Monday Stories With The Dragons19:56 Influence Of Wayne Bennett24:06 Toughest Period Of The NRL Season25:42 Beef With Latrell Mitchell At Training28:52 Playing In An NRL Grand Final32:20 Where Will South’s Finish in 2023?32:50 Twitch Streaming 40:42 Play On Or Penalty 44:27 Quiz 49:45 Go To Maccas Order 50:50 Signing HasbullaFollow us @TheCastPatrol on all social media platforms to keep up to date with all things CAST and more.
