Anyway my Welsby initial comment was a throwaway one liner

The main part was asking NSW about the podcast

Yeah it’s a good listen Stu, in season it’s normally on a Thursday.

If you like the first half of NRL360 it’s much like that, just Journos chatting.

I love the Aussie Journos how they know so much about what’s going on behind the scenes. Buzz Rothfield is on it during the season and he cracks me up!

Cheers. Funnily enough I've just finished it this morning, I've subscribed now so will listen going forwards.

Yeah Buzz and Anasta have a bit of a love/hate relationship going on with NRL 360 but its good entertainment.

Is Buzz the old fella that would cause an argument in an empty house.

Wandering around Paris this morning before I make my way back, had a chat with a few Union fans. They've heard the Farrell rumours and seem to think he's leaving, one even suggested he's going to announce it while lifting the World Cup trophy

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:26 pm  

Well if we didn't know already - Owen Farrell can kick a ball. He also seems to be a master of backchat.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:26 pm  

Owen Farrell absolutely bossing it tonight for England.

The biggest tragedy for us and RL was never Andy Farrell leaving. It was Owen Farrell going with him. What a player he would have been in League.

The drop goal was brilliant and he kicked everything else with aplomb but I thought (which was a tactic) that England and him kicked quite poor out of hand. After winning the ball back after the try the kick by Steward (I think it was) was awfully executed but also a poor choice, surely kick it down the field and hopefully out of touch and make them go 80 meters in 4 minutes. The set pieces themselves kill minutes.

I'm sure OF did absolutely what the coaching staff asked of him. But it was dull and torpid stuff. you don't beat the beat sides playing like that. Although SA were far from their best either.
