Listen "THE MAGIC 15th"
Episode Synopsis
Our heroes are having a cool glass of water, some vegemite toast and a calm
Look at the horizon after a dizzying three days of magic round action in Brisbane. Much is to be dissected as they conduct mathematical equations as to the miserly margins and weigh up its on field successes and failures, offer exclusive inside goss on some of the real conversations happening about officialdom in the bowels of Suncorp Stadium, and begin the annual task of telling state of origin selectors how to do their jobs.
The various broadcasts of magic round are also ruthlessly examined- glass houses and all.
Another coach has been sacked, an ageless coach lives on, and the good guys are grappling with the right way- if there is one- of tearing someone from their livelihood.
Running styles are also in focus, as we nominate the purest, gliding’est, most graceful and swan like of all the great gaits of rugby league.
Coming to you from a newly acquired studio, nestled in a deep underground survivalist bunker in the mountainous mists of Peru, the grapplers remain possibly the most mysterious hypocrites in Australian sports media.
Let’s grapple.
