R360 Ban Under Fire, Lawyer Breaks It Down, Jonah’s Next Move, Bellamy–Slater Talk, Samoa v NZ

from BTFU · host BTFU Sports Productions

In this week’s episode of 180, Braith, Reni and Aaron set up shop in the Motel Fireball, room 305, fresh off a Bali run. The boys swap chaos-from-holiday stories before bringing in Osman Samin from Australian Criminal and Family Lawyers to unpack the NRL’s headline-grabbing R360 stance — what it actually says, whether a 10-year ban could hold up, restraint of trade questions, and why TV rights pressure is shaping the league’s posture. They dig into player IP and sponsorship roadblocks, what R360 would unlock, and how the RLPA can leverage the moment. Then it’s the market: Jonah’s off-contract reality, the Bellamy-to-Titans scenario with Slater chatter, and what it means for Munster, Paps and Lomax. To close, a stacked Samoa v New Zealand preview with picks, a salute to Kieran Foran, and Everest day best bets.0:04 - Welcome to Motel Fireball, room 305, tour plug1:17 - Bali recap and the Super League GF watched via FaceTime saga5:02 - Bamboo gym session, crew dynamics, recovery and food hits7:17 - Lawyer Osman joins: first reactions to the R360 announcement10:57 - How would a 10-year ban work? scope, mechanism, restraint of trade21:41 - TV rights negotiations and why the NRL is going hard right now27:54 - Player IP and sponsorship limits vs R360 freedoms, RLPA leverage40:05 - Player market: Jonah off contract, Bellamy–Slater succession, Titans clause47:00 - Jonah’s decision factors and ripple effects for Munster, Papenhuyzen, Lomax52:27 - Samoa v New Zealand preview and tips, Kieran Foran tribute56:16 - Everest day: best bets and Ka Ying Rising vs War Machine1:00:09 - Sign-off and Fireball Motel party inviteFollow the Boys on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/braith_anastahttps://www.instagram.com/renimaituahttps://www.instagram.com/mace_theaceApple Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/btfu/id1804246088
