What this episode covers

This week, Bossy and Adam are joined by one of Rugby League’s most colourful characters and ultimate journeymen, James Maloney. A two-time Premiership winner, Origin victor, and international rep, Jimmy has done it all… and had a laugh doing it.From humble beginnings in Orange, NSW, to crowd-surfing through Northies after breaking Cronulla’s 50-year premiership drought, Maloney dishes out tales from a footy career that saw him play under the game’s biggest names - Bellamy, Robinson, Cleary - and leave a lasting legacy at just about every club he touched.We hear about the yogurt incident with Bellamy, goal-kicking under pressure, his time living the dream in the South of France, and how his “Goldfish Theory” helped him bounce back from intercepts and sprays from the coach - or the punters!So grab your favourite French red, polish up that novelty key to the Shire, and settle in for a cracking episode with one of Rugby League’s most beloved personalities.
