We're very excited to bring you our superb conversation with Hull FC legend Keith Tindall. 

Keith takes us down memory lane and describes his brutal route into the first team at Hull FC. It really is an eye opener into how the game was played back then and gives us a great insight into the world class players Keith played alongisde.

Oh yeah, how could we not talk about that Challenge Cup final at Wembley...

It's good to be back talking all things rugby league!

In this episode, Joe and Craig chat about the England versus the All Stars game and whether or not a more permanent series is needed to give England the challenge that they'd need in the run up to a world cup. The boys also discuss Jake Connor's inclusion in the All Stars squad.

A quick review of the form of Hull KR and Hull FC leads into a chat about the forthcoming derby game before the episode ends with a reveal of next week's guest. Enjoy!

In this episode, Joe and Craig felt compelled to discuss the incident during the Wigan v Hull FC game on Thursday 29 April in which FC's Andre Savelio reported an incident involving Wigan's Tony Clubb and an alleged racial slur.

In the week following, the RFLs Operational Rules Tribunal found Clubb guilty an imposed an eight match ban plus a £500 fine. Wigan also hit Clubb with a two-weeks wage fine too.

Joe and Craig discuss how they felt that the RFL missed an opportunity to send out a strong message about racism in rugby league, especially considering the incident happened at a time when the RFLs 'Tackle It' campaign was prominent.

Well the one you've all been waiting for is finally here... this weeks bonus episode is with Hull KR's Head of Youth, John Bastian. Throughout this episode John's infectious passion for rugby league is evident and he certainly made us feel excited about the future of our sport. John gives us a great insight into how he developed into one of the sports most renowned developers of young talent. He's held similar successful roles at Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves and Bradford Bulls which shows what a coup Hull KR has had in getting John to the club. Hear his thoughts on the future of Hull KR and why he turned down Hull FC in the past. John also has strong opinions on the pathway for young players in our sport which we feel are quite convincing. This episode is certainly not to be missed by rugby league fans but especially Hull KR fans!

**IMPORTANT NOTE** - we experienced some issues with audio during this recording and apologise for any interrupted listening this causes.

This week we're joined by current York City Knights rugby league player, Danny Washbrook. Washy talks to us about both of his spells with hometown club, Hull FC, despite starting his RL scholarship at Hull KR. 

In part two, the versatile utility player goes on to discuss how moving to Wakefield in 2012 helped him develop as a player and group leader, and how his experience of more than 200 first grade games has helped nurture the young talent at Wakefield.

Danny explains how he gained the nickname 'Trump' and reveals to Set Restart how in his opinion, he singlehandedly won Hull FC that illustrious, first-ever Challenge Cup Final victory at Wembley.

'Washy wins the cup for FC in 2016' is an entertaining listen - so long as you concentrate between the interference!!
