Episodes

  1. End of Season Awards '26

    Who won the three prestigious award categories in this year's NFTN Notables? Plus, our narrow loss to the Wahs and tips for the finals series.

  2. Why haven’t they been podcasting like that for the last six weeks?

    Just as the manly sea eagles are over for the year, the NFTN crew are reviving. Does this sudden resurgence have anything to do with two wins on the trot? Hmmmm...debatable. It's all discussed, and more, on this very overdue episode of Notes From the Nest.

  3. The Fozlosophy

    Re-upload due to copyright issues with the Eagle Rock!! :(

  4. They just don't pun like they used to

    Lots to cover today: Manly's (not quite as disappointing as you'd think?) loss, The Blue's heist in QLD, and some historic (not pre-historic) footy nicknames.

  5. Storm? More of a brief shower

    Yep, we enjoyed that.

  6. Loz needs Foz

    When will NSW get Lozball? Because whatever happened in Origin 2 was not it....

  7. Wait, is that Fozvale Oval?

    Joyfully recounting our win over the bunnies, plus reactions to some questionable NSW blues picks.

  8. Results May Vary

    Two games this week: both manly and the blues started poorly. Both look like they are coming back. From there? Results may vary.

  9. No party tricks, just two points

    And what a welcome difference that is!

  10. Egg On Leg (we went to magic round!!!)

    Magic round lived up to its name and more! Join us for silly stories and a little rugby league analysis on the side. We also do discuss the highly controversial origin team lists, so keep listening to the end for that :)

  11. Is our Walsh better than yours?

    Everyone's favourite fullback Reece lightning came up against the young rookie Joey on Saturday night. Let's just say...there's a new Walsh in town.

  12. A loss, not a letdown

    Manly were very close to picking off the top of the table Panthers on Sunday night. Going down 16-18 without our halfback and fullback has everyone saying Manly is the "real deal". What do we think?

  13. Foran a row

    Sick of the Foran puns yet? We're not.

  14. Get After It

    Another joyous week under the success of Fozball.

  15. Travelling Well

    As in, we are travelling well? Get it? Like, we've lost all our home games but we're two on the trot for away- okay. I'll see myself out.

  16. Free Birds

    Win no.1 is on the board for the 2026 season. Fozball under way. All engines firing. Birds are in flight. Fun is had.

  17. Foran Affairs

    Well, they say a week is a long time in rugby league. This one might just take the cake. (Roosters loss, Seibold sacking, and the era of Fozball begins)

  18. Pick and Pray

    Team list Tuesday is like Deja Vu at this point 😂. But on the up-side, we beat the bye!

  19. Wow.

    What is there to say after a game like that? Apparently, a lot.

  20. Cut from the same cloth

    SO MUCH to talk about after a (heartbreaking? relieving?) first round. Couple of audio issues at the end there but its still a banging episode, if we do say so ourselves.

  21. What have our lives come to?

    The first Teamlist Tuesday of the year has us: - Counting down the minutes to 4pm - Searching 'Manly team list' into google with shaking hands - Opening up the phone as dinner is about to start What have our lives come to?

  22. DRUMROLL PLEASE...2026 Ladder Predictions

    If ever there was a time for NFTN to be in the midst of controversy, this episode might be it. As we give our ladder predictions for the 2026 season, we'll blame any delusional hot takes on the maroon and white running through our veins.

  23. Young Blood: Preseason Trials

    Of course we can yap for an hour about one trials match!

  24. Back in the Nest

    Welcome to season 3 of Notes From The Nest. It's good to be back.

  25. '25 NRL Grand Final

    Recorded before the grand final!

  26. End of Season Awards '25

    One of those great episodes where we go where the wind takes us. It takes us to some great finals games and the second ever Notes From the Nest Notables.

  27. The second demise

    Hope is gone again thanks to the roosters win over the storm! That didn't last too long, did it!

  28. Hey Siri, define delusion

    Siri: I found this on the web for 'delusion'. The Notes From The Nest podcast talking about the finals chances for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.

  29. Time of Death: Round 24

    We've declared the end of Manly's September hopes. But on the bright side, we also used the podcast as an hour long counselling session to make ourselves feel better about it. Find out who we'll be cheering for come finals time now that the Sea Eagles are out of the running!

  30. The candle of hope burns low, but unextinguished 🕯

    You thought we were gone, didn't you? Nope! We persevere, three days late but determined not to let the losses get to us.

  31. A humbling week

    Sorry for the podcast delay! Surprisingly has nothing to do with the loss to the bulldogs and everything to do with Si's disorganisation (oops).

  32. Old Enemies. New Fire.

    Imagine our glee at the prospect of sitting down for an hour and a half to analyse in detail the epic 18-16 win over the storm in Melbourne. I think we might have enjoyed this win more than Jurbo. Actually, no one enjoyed this win more than Jurbo.

  33. Livin' on a prayer

    We're more than halfway there. And with a difficult looking draw and no more byes after this round, it's looking like we might need a miracle. But we're happy to live on a prayer.

  34. One game at a time...but if we lose this one then we might have to win the next three...unless we manage to win that one in round 26...you know what? Forget it.

    If you're listening to this one BEFORE origin 3 - legend. But also, what are you doing with your life?

  35. We can't defend him any longer...

    Notes from the nest has given a certain someone one more week to impress us.

  36. Midseason miseries

    Eh, we do our best to keep it light. It's still rugby league after all! Even if we are having to ask ourselves whether its possible we get the wooden spoon...

  37. We don't want party tricks, we just want points

    In difficult times (and Manly losing to the Knights after having a 16-0 halftime lead definitely qualifies), I (Si) often turn to the wisdom of Shakespeare. The Big Willy S once said: "What’s gone, and what’s past help, should be past grief." There's nothing we can do about Manly's on and off…

  38. Full house, full flight

    We had an absolute ripper of a Saturday night watching Manly welcome the Broncos to Brookvale oval for the first time in 9 years. Boy we've been inconsistent - but its better to be consistently inconsistent than consistently bad.

  39. Singin' the Blues

    It's a tale of two halves in the recording studio this week (and by recording studio I mean our respective lounge rooms). First half of the podcast we try hard to cope with the disappointing loss against the Eels. Second half- well- it's all about the Blues, baby.

  40. Ben's time to shine

    We had a good old-fashioned yap this Wednesday. So much so that we had to do a second recording session the next day to cover all the important stuff. Enjoy!

  41. Holding onto hope

    *REUPLOAD*

  42. A Battle of the Beaches at Brooky

    We review Magic Round (we're sick of magic-related puns from the commentary on Kayo hence no attempt from us) and preview Manly's post-bye return. Plus our obviously correct picks for NSW Blues lineup.

  43. We sent the the four time premiers to the bottom of the ladder 🦅🫡

    Finally a win to comment on! A goodun too. Plus we share our excitement over the Legendary Leichardt showdown.

  44. The Fog rolls in

    Big news drop: Fogarty set to sign a three year deal at Manly this week. + We redo our ladder and reflect on another dire week on the Northern Beaches.

  45. Galv-in or Galv-out?

    *recorded before the devastating loss to the dragons* Have a happy easter all you rugba league fans!

  46. Not many notes from the nest

    A liiitle bit of a shorter episode this week, with not a whole heap to say after a loss to the red-hot storm over the weekend. But we're hanging onto positivity for dear life. It could be worse, right?

  47. The Wingers, The Whingers & The Win

    Saab & Savage, Ricky & Payton, and who else but the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.

  48. The Ship of Theseus

    You may be thinking we'd use this podcast to talk about the highly relevant and headline-making bombshell news about Manly Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry Evans. But instead, we talk about a classic philosophical paradox from ancient Greece.

  49. Beau's Episode. 🤍

    This episode is in honour of Beau Hewitt. Rest In Peace Beau 🤍🕊

  50. & all that Jazz 🎙🏉🦅 (NRL Round 1 review)

    Notes from outside the nest: we give our thoughts on the non-Manly games of the round, including the one team we would change on our ladder predictions after round 1. After that, its a very thorough review of pretty much every Manly player's performance in our dominant win over the Cowboys on the...
