Hello sports fans and welcome to the 19th episode of Pub Talk Rugby league. A Podcast where old mates from high school meet up to talk about Rugby League.  This podcast we wrap up the games from round 18 that were played in Queensland because of the Covid pandemic and lockdown in Sydney and NSW.

Smokes rants a bit about his Broncos and the battering they got from the West Tigers, in a game all four of us tipped Broncos and the game that ruined The Principal from getting a perfect round. As the Covid-19 Pandemic continues we talk about how its continuing to to change the game. Today, WAG and families were allowed to join players up in Queensland.

We are a week from State of Origin so we still spend a fair bit of time discussing when is the best time for the origin to be played and what impact it has on the rest of the competition. And we discuss players moving between teams and how much that will cost them and the teams. As well as the ‘reserve grade’ brain snap of Lachlan Lewis’s beef with Cody Walker and the all-time brain-fade UFC move on his opposite number.

We finish the pod by going through the beer bets for last week, this week  and our  tips for round 19 of the NRL game.

Editors Note: in one of the news stories I mention 40 thousand drop in salary for Paul Vaughan . I was wrong it was actually 400 thousand !
