Listen "CHAPTER 11- white chalk and marginally forward passes"
Episode Synopsis
Our heroes are besotted with the idea that the NRL is now featuring more unchecked forward passes than international rugby.Perhaps they’ve been getting stuck into the Dolphins private stash, but it’s difficult puzzling out how exactly an illegal sponsorship made it onto the jersey, only to be covered and then peeled off in the Darwin heat.Tributes are paid to sharks, storm and bulldogs great Dale Finucane- the latest player to have his career terminated by repeated concussions.A tunnel stoush is examined, and credit is duly given to the match review committee for getting one right. We can’t all be perfect, according to our heroes.And they are helpless to arrest a shocking run of tipping, remarking at some of the blowouts in the NRL and blaming anyone but themselves.Also credit where it’s due- as we introduce ‘the clapple,’ due acknowledgement of a job well done by some of the NRL’s newest players- overcoming adversity, nerves, and inclement weather to hold their heads up and keep on fighting.
