With four rounds remaining in the NRL finals-race: The Top 4 maintain the status quo as question marks are raised over the Storm and Panthers current form, Canterbury and Manly emerge as the dark horses for a red-hot crack at Premiership glory as the Cowboys slip-up in their quest for a finals berth. The Dolphins swap back into the Top 8 in place of the Dragons, Knights and Raiders still alive with Brisbane and Titans finals hopes slowly fading. Warriors and Rabbitohs are officially out of finals contention. We also dive into the NRLW Round 3 results and Super League Round 21 results - with Ryan Hall and Josh Charnley creating try-scoring history in England - before our “Bunker Review” segment discussing coaching, refereeing and contributors Hall of Famers, and the NRL introducing the Western Bears as the 18th expansion club!
