Braith breaking things on his way to the chair, 😂😂😂. Love watching him on nrl 360. Also wishing Jai Arrow a speedy recovery to his health issues. So sad to hear his retirement and his condition. Get well soon Jai. ❤
ive cancelled my kayo sub because its gone from a great product to slop one way footy
got the popcorn ready
Sauce brother you’ve gone all out on the studio looks fucking unreal 👌🏼
Yeah Laurie’s one of the best to ever play imo but yeah his coaching style makes ya a bit nervous. Unlike Madge in the Origin space, he was legit, gave you confidence that he had a plan.
Unreal poddy hahah. As a Qlder couldn't agree more with Braith. Origin is more than a game for us!
Hey mate, would love to see Scott Drinkwater on the pod for an episode 👍
Up the gunners ❤🤍
Reni sounds like you get low blood sugar and it just drops your energy all of a sudden you start shaking and sweating and vision gets blurred and you feel like vomiting. You need to take something sweet asap eat some chocolate or drink a can of coke to get your sugar level back up. You need to get your bloods done and get your doctor to see if you need an epi pen.
The lads really wanting Cleary to win a series and dominate 😂😂😂 damn NSW media is crazy ahahaha.
Always good to listen to the Uso Rennie talking bout footy💯🔥
This was pure gold! 04 dogs all day! Braith is a comedian and Rens just a naturally funny dude
Epic studio Saucy🔥🔥🔥
Great episode🎉
1:09:34 Dessie won 08 and 2011 🦅
Massive recency bias to state that Cleary is nearly the greatest half of all time. Johns changed the way a half played the game. Cleary is mechanical, good in the riff system and average elsewhere.
Was the origin doco you watched called "The Last Time Phil Gould Coached NSW" made by the channell yesterday's tapes ?
All the chat about radley and getting binned... cotter and carrigan are the 2 most binned players over the last 2 seasons.
No confidence in Lozball
No offense but I don't who Laurie is and his legacy but going off by just looks and body language, etc, he looks like those quite weird dudes he looks funny and nervous geeky like 😅😅 js saying
