5/21/20261 hr 2 min
Reni Maitua, Josh Reynolds and Charlie White are in, and our thoughts go out to Jai Arrow and his loved ones after his heartbreaking MND diagnosis. Vegas 2027 has been announced, and we look at the potential for a Nashville round. Is the 2026 NRL product boring? Reni and Grub share their thoughts on that statement? We look at the matchups in Round 12 - are the Dragons a genuine chance of defeating the Warriors? How can the Dogs beat an undermanned Storm, and have the Titans gone backwards in 2027? Plus, we look at the Origin selections and the tactics between Daley and Slater - which team was picked more smartly for the Origin arena?
