Super League Pod Super League Pod

Surprise!

We couldn't let St Helens being crowned World Champs on Aussie soil pass us by without a dose of Saint David smugness could we!? So here's Mark & David recapping the big win for David's side and our competition.

We'll talk about the match itself and the possible legacy this leaves. Plus, which was greater? Wigan in 1994 or St Helens in 2023?

This is our cup final recap show. We’ve got guest Wigan fan David to take us through his Cup Final day, his experiences, emotions and Wigan's celebrations. Alan tries to provide some balance, and your fan views try to provide some more balance. We also have a bit of a dig in on some potential new structure changes in light of the push for both 1895 Cup Final teams to be given promotion. There’s also some silly fan reviews, some bits of news and some predictable predictions. Get strapped in, it’s a long one.
