4. No follow ups
This episode, the girls still can’t work out what date or time the NRL 2026 season actually starts (surely it’s written down somewhere?). We deliver the first correction of a correction, clear up the very important difference between Rikers Island and the island Pete Davidson is from, and spiral into a case of full-blown panic raps.There’s also confusion around refs vs trainers (who is who and why are they all on the field?), a bit of fantasy shaming, and just enough NRL chat to justify calling this a rugby league podcast.Perfect for NRL beginners, Aussie sports podcast fans, and anyone who loves footy with zero confidence but plenty of opinions.Join our NRL Fantasy League on the NRL Fantasy app 🏉League name: NRL NHOHLeague PIN: D3WMVAPTCome talk trash, make questionable picks, and prove you know more about NRL than we do!

2. Momentum
This week on NRL? Never heard of her!, Maddie and Stephattempt to talk footy… with mixed results. Steph bravely attempts to break down the 6 Again rule, again! Which somehow spirals into a heated debate about red and pink (jury’s still out).We clean up a few corrections from last episode (some more painful than others), before getting stuck into the truly important stuff: ranking the Cleary family... for science, obviously.As always, expect questionable takes, accidental learning, and zero accountability.Fantasy League pin: D3WMVAPT

1. Origin Story
Welcome to NRL? Never Heard of Her! — the podcast where curiosity meets chaos. In our very first episode, Origin Story, Steph admits she genuinely doesn’t know the difference between the Eels and the Knights, Maddie questions whether “prop” is actually a real position or just something the NRL made up, and together the girls attempt (and mostly fail) to work out the difference between tips picking and tipping.Along the way, we kick things off with Sideline Scoop, covering what we think we know so far, before wrapping up with Quick Play, where things move fast but the understanding… maybe doesn’t.If you’re new to the NRL, wildly underqualified, or just here for the vibes — you’re in the right place.
