About this episode
The Sydney Roosters are your 2026 NRL Premiers after a dominant display from the Roosters against a never-say-die Newcastle Knights. The panel analyse the key moments from the game, the player ratings, and give their take on who should have been awarded the Clive Churchill Medal (hint: none of them said James Tedesco)… Around the Grounds saw Wakefield win their first Super League Premiership in 58-years, London Broncos annihilate Doncaster in the Championship division, Roosters win the NRLW Premiership in a perfect season, and a thrashing in the State Championship won by the Redcliffe Dolphins. In the Bunker Review, the boys analyse the Dally M Awards, the Man of Steel, and end with discussing the 23-man Australian Kangaroos squad for the Rugby League World Cup, as well as players pledging their allegiance to other nations in the tournament.——TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro11:05 - Episode Overview12:42 - NRL Grand Final: Sydney Roosters def.
