    Episode 194 | “We are protesting until we get the real NRL back”

    The boys are fed up as the NRL product continues its on-field decline in 2026, with the game’s transformation into all-attack-no-defence proving to be a sore-point for NRL fans everywhere (this leads the boys to protest their NRL coverage this episode into a more condensed format). This episode is largely dedicated however to the upcoming State of Origin Series, with the panel selecting their Game 1 lineups for both the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons. In the NRL the Bulldogs lose 4-straight, Roosters win in controversial circumstances, Eels score first ever 3-point golden point victory, Dragons STILL winless, Fozball is in full-effect, Storm break their 7-game losing streak, and Panthers defeat a gallant Raiders in the game of the week. —— TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 07:50 - Panel Protest: “We don’t like the NRL in 2026” 18:30 - Episode Overview 19:05 - Bunker Review: NSW Blues Game 1 Lineup Predictions 57:52 - Bunker Review: QLD Maroons Game 1 Lineup Predictions 1:11:03 - Bunker Review: The Sideline Story combined Origin team selections 1:16:01 - NRL Round 10: TSS Tipping & Supercoach Comps 1:21:38 - NRL Round 10: Overview  1:54:34 - NRL Round 11: Rapid Fire Tips 1:57:55 - ATG: Challenge Cup Semi-Final Results 1:58:33 - Outro —— Click the link to follow us on Instagram, Facebook & TikTok, or to listen on your preferred podcasting platform: https://linktr.ee/thesidelinestoryrlpodcast —— Hosted by Daniel Tassone, Nicholas Guild & Ryan Clarke.

    Episode 193 | “Is the NRL product declining in 2026?”

    The boys analyse the one-third point of the 2026 NRL season and dissect the NRL ladder and each team’s status, but not before discussing comparisons of the 2026 season to that of the 2021 season which was one of the worst on-field products in recent memory. We also have another edition of player transfer news and rumours (PNG Chiefs, Perth Bears, May brothers and Bula commit to Tigers, Josh Schuster, and more). In the NRL the Bulldogs decline becomes all too evident, Cowboys win 6 from 7, Storm lose the most games in a row in the club’s history, Tigers cop the 50-point curse, Knights-Souths another 80-point battle, and much more. Around the Grounds saw NSW Blues Women take a 1-0 lead in Origin, the Super League Round 10 Results and the NSWRL Junior GFs! —— TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 07:47 - Is the NRL product declining in 2026? 21:05 - Episode Overview 21:51 - Bunker Review: NRL Ladder Review at one-third point of the season 1:06:48 - Bunker Review: NRL player transfer news and rumours 1:26:25 - NRL Round 9: TSS Tipping & Supercoach Comps 1:28:17 - NRL Round 9: Overview  1:39:36 - NRL Round 10: Rapid Fire Tips 1:42:28 - ATG: Women SOO Game 1 (NSW def.
