Hello Sports fans. Phantoms back on this one so we have had to mark it as EXPLICIT! If you have little kids around, put headphones on. Last week was some crazy point margins, 66 to nil and 74 nil but that's nothing to Phantoms 96 nil against Como when he was a kid and he tells us all about it.

Hello Sports fans. And thanks for downloading this week’s episode of Pub talk rugby league.  The Principal has had a pretty rough week with  the Raiders having to struggle with their dummy half rotation and lack of creativity in attack. The Phantom is alright with his Roosters but they face a tough three weeks ahead. And Smokes is giddy with his Broncos are currently in 1st place with four consecutive wins, proving themselves as a tough team to beat with a strong defence and impressive attacking players. They are expected to beat the Tigers in Round 5.

another week another round of football chat.

Phantom did not show up again so the boys let loose and crapped all over the Roosters.

We find ourselves at the pinnacle of excitement as we have reached the finals of the NRL football season! This is the moment we've all been waiting for, where the culmination of months of intense competition, dedication, and passion for the game has led us to this thrilling juncture. So, sit back, relax, and tune in as we dive into a comprehensive discussion of all the exhilarating games that have unfolded in this electrifying NRL season.

The teams have been decided and the game has been locked in.  It's going to be a fairytale ending for the panthers or the eels.

Smokes has some wild Conspiracy theories; The Phantom and the Principal have some fairytales they would like to see. And I would just like to apologies to any Lithgow listeners that we may have. the views and comments said by one of us does not reflect those of the rest of us!

Hello Sports fans, we are in the thick of the Finals footy rounds now, with only a few games left to play. we have a shorter episode this week and now that all our teams have been knocked out, we have celebrated the year that was and look forward to next year.

This one had to be explicit. With final footy in full swing and emotion's running a little high. there was no way to cut around the language in this week's episode so we just left it all it (almost all of it).

So, if you usually listen to this with your kids, first why, and secondly don't do that normally, and definitely don't do that with this one!

Hello Sports fans. We have made it to finals footy. well 2 out of three of use did anyway. Smokes is still watching the woman's team so I guess we all made it to the finals!

Hello Sports fans. Can you sense it, Finals footy is so close we can almost taste it. 

Poor smokes it does not look very good for his Broncos, He is a little bit sad and over footy but he still was able to point out all the things big Kevvie did wrong. And Principal is back this week holding on for dear life to stay in the top 8 but with a "What should be a simple win" (Knocking  on all the wood around you) he should see at least one game in the finals

And while this means we loose 1/2 the teams that did not make it we still have plenty of news and games to talk about.

Hello Sports fans. We have a tight 35 minutes of podcast gold this week.  We talk through the games of round 23 and give out tip for round 24. We are so close to the finals we can almost taste it. But who will be in the finals? That is the question and what a lot of our beer bets are riding on. Can Ricky’s Raiders make the top 8 or will Manly squash their dreams. Only time will tell

Hello sports fans, have a look at that you have downloaded another episode of this fantastic podcast. Good on you, you deserve a sticker.
