Episode 21: Trial Week
The wait is over—footy is back! This week on the pod, we’re shaking off the off-season rust and diving headfirst into a massive Trial Week.
First up, we break down the seismic shift in State of Origin eligibility. With the ARLC officially modernizing the rules, the "Tier 1" restriction is gone. We discuss what this means for stars like Addin Fonua-Blake and whether the "born and bred" spirit of Origin is under threat or just finally entering the 21st century.
Then, we wrap up all the action from the NRL Pre-Season Challenge. From the Cowboys' offensive masterclass to the Tigers' young guns making a statement, we look at who’s actually flying and who’s just making up the numbers before Round 1.
Plus, the Big Cat is prowling again. We discuss Tiger Woods and his recent comments at the Genesis Invitational. With a disc replacement surgery behind him and the Masters on the horizon, is another miracle comeback actually on the cards, or is it time to look toward the Champions Tour?
As always, we’ve got your normal banter, listener questions, and our lock-of-the-week tips to get your bankroll started for the season.
