5/25/20261 hr 6 min
Shane Flanagan joins Wade Graham and Charlie White to look at all of the action from Round 12 of the footy. We start with Flanno's departure from the Dragons, his thoughts on the 2026 season, the club's 2027 recruitment, and how they can win a game this year. We look at Andrew Abdo's resignation from the NRL and the positive effect he has had on our game. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's NRL career looks all but over after suffering a suspected ACL tear — we reflect on his amazing 242-game career. Plus, we recap all of the footy from the weekend as the Cowboys continue to shine, the Dogs are back, Foz-Ball is flying, and the Titans can't seem to get it right!
