The League Scene AJ Lucantonio

AJ and Rhys review a fun and crazy week of rugby league. We had high scoring, high drama and all the tension of a game of Snakes and Ladders. They begin looking at the NSW side and AJ has a victory lap for his Connor Watson agenda. We review the back and forth Thursday night affair between the Phins and Sharks and see where Hammer’s individual try rates on the best we’ve seen. Friday saw wins for the Cowboys and Rabbitohs as Rhys questions the Broncos finals desire. We shift gears for our SUPER TANK BOWL between the Tigers and Titans as the Tigers get a famous win. They then delve into the Warriors forward woes and the Roosters big victory as we wonder how Kelma Tuliagi wasn’t sent off. Then Sunday saw a brave Manly win as well as Penrith skate by Newcastle. We look at the Lower Grade Report extensively while also awarding our LOLCOW of the Week.

AJ and Rhys review a dramatic round 14 of the NRL season. We review the post Origin I weekend of footy which kicked off in the ‘Gong on Friday where the Dragons inflicted a second half massacre on the Tigers as AJ slams Isaac Moses. Then Saturday saw Latrell fire against the hapless Titans, the Warriors inflicted further pain on the Cowboys and Brisbane’s bench exposed by one Royce Hunt stint. Sunday saw Newcastle fall short against Melbourne while a win for the Panthers over Manly as Left Wingers went bananas. Monday saw the Dogs of War return defeating Parra in a gritty and brave display. We review the Challenge Cup Final, our Supercoach, Round 14 of the NSW Cup and Round 13 of the QLD Cup !

AJ and Rhys recap the Origin matches this week. The men’s game was a highly contested affair with the QLD side running away with it against a 12 man NSW side after the Suaalii send off. The boys debate the tackle ! We also review the second women’s match played in horrible conditions but a high quality match between the sides saw QLD escape to force a decider thanks to Lauren Brown’s field goal.

Lots to uncover for AJ and Rhys this week. We look at Parra’s middles dominant win over Cronulla with Brendan Hands starting. Why does Reed Mahoney trigger Newcastle props? Liam Henry’s monster effort overshadowed by Jesse Marschke, Jordan Rapana the field goal kicker and AJ’s rant on why Michael Jennings should never play for the Roosters again. We also uncover Supercoach, Super League, the NSW and QLD Cups in this monster edition.

AJ and Rhys review a crazy Round 12 of the NRL season. Celebrating the great Indigenous athletes of our game and we saw some big wins to Canterbury, North Queensland, Manly, the Roosters (including a starring role by Naufahu Whyte). Penrith redeem themselves with a massacre of Cronulla, while Souths win for just the second time this year. Gold Coast upset the Broncos while the injury depleted Wahs put the Phins down. We look at the Lower Grade Report before an AJ Lucantonio exclusive, telling us what happens inside the NRL Bunker. Special thanks to Grant Atkins for making it happen.

AJ and Rhys review Magic Round. The boys look at the first women’s state of origin which saw the NSW Sky Blues taste victory. The boys then look at the NRL scene where we dissect weekend’s events. They then turn attention to the Lower Grade Report ahead of Origin time, some names will become familiar in the NRL sooner rather than later !!
