A concise round up of the week in RL

From the people who bring you Rugby League World and League Express, this a a great podcast to keep you up to date on the past weekend of matches, a concise break down of the latest news and a look ahead to the coming weekend of matches. It would be improved with an interview with a rugby league personality at the end, as this seems to be the usual structure of successful podcasts nowadays.

Enjoyable

It’s a good podcast to listen too.
