Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for our weekly NRL Podcast featuring Wayne Bennett's press conference for the ages, Brisbane's promised 2nd team and our Round 7 Tips.

We aren't pleased with how the Rugby League media is linking every good old coach to every NRL head coaching job (open or not) so we get stuck in and we also talk a realistic time frame for Brisbane's 2nd Team that Peter V'landys has declared will happen... eventually.

Restarting the 2020 NRL Season - NOT The Footy Show Episode 207 09/04/2020

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson as they suggest two season schedules the NRL could use if the 2020 season can in fact resume at the end of May.

Is the every team playing each other once the fairest solution or will Channel 9 and Fox Sports demand a longer regular season to get more value for their pre-coronavirus investment?

What do you do with Origin - stand alone month or interspersed across the middle of the NRL season?
