The 2025 NRL season has arrived and who better to get all your ill-informed opinions and poorly thought out analysis from than 4 guys with questionable credibility.

Despite a tumultuous week, Jimmy appears on the pod and owns his mistakes.

Latsy's boxing debut is just around the corner and it's fair to say he's a little nervous. Likewise, Toby is licking his wounds after a recent loss to the Warriors.

Rule enforcement, accidents on the field and milked penalties are on the agenda, while during the 'Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy,' we hear about Maloney's experiences on the Storm's infamous army camps. We also hear about the time Latsy got bashed up by Jimmy's son!

This episode's Would You Rather comes courtesy of Toby (and another podcast), while the blokes do an abridged round 27 preview.

Toby returns to the studio as the boys look ahead to the penultimate round of NRL action.

This week, the panel discusses Tommy Turbo’s selfless offer to the Manly club, the Tigers’ discontent over the NRL’s decision to rule Lachie Galvin out of Rookie of the Year contention and the prospect of the NRL buying a plane.

During the Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy, Maloney recalls the night some drunken shenanigans accidentally led to a former teammate breaking his ankle, while over in the Positive Place, the guys nominate the top-tier athlete they consider to be their closest mate.

Love and death are the key concerns during the Would You Rather, while the lads also share their tips for round 26.
Oh, did we mention that Toby's dog crashed the pod again?

Jimmy dials in from home this week and he's sporting a pair of funky flashing headphones. Speaking of homes, the Professor is feeling the pressure after his missus has left him home alone with the kids. And Latsy, well, he's just Latsy,  
In the Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy, Latsy recalls the first time he first laid eyes on his little mate.

Over in the Positive Place, the boys' discussion of their saddest teammate departure shifts into a love-in between the dynamic duo.
There's some Immortals chat, while love and money are on the agenda for the 'Would You Rather?'

The boys are back once again for another serving of fun and footy-themed frivolity on the Rugby League Journeymen.
This week, Jimmy Maloney reveals how the goal of circumcising a teammate proved the impetus for Cronulla’s 2016 premiership win. We find out the role that Jerry and Jimmy played on the famous night that Alfie Langer was snapped doing the YMCA on the table of a Queensland pub.
Meanwhile, In Other Footy News, Maloney gives his us his honest thoughts on the Latrell Mitchell situation and during the Positive Place, the boys remember their favourite on-field indiscretions.
Fortunately, we could include the Would You Rather segment this week, as the panel debate a deeply philosophical scenario involving dogs.  
Oh yeah, and there’s a round 24 preview as well.

Jimmy Graham joins the panel of episode 11 of the Rugby League Journeymen.

After receiving some stern listener feedback, Latsy is determined to clean up his language, while Jimmy Maloney reveals his affinity for skateboards and disdain for calendars.

During Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy (times two), Latsy discusses a couple of phone-related stitch-ups involving some of the game’s biggest names. We also discover why Maloney copped a massive spray from his wife during the Warriors' 2011 Mad Monday celebrations.

The panel chats about Shaun Johnson and the role Maloney and Latimore played in his rise to prominence while dissecting the Bulldogs’ recent good run of form. Throw in the game’s most underrated analysis of round 23, and you’ve got one hell of a footy podcast.

It's a full house at Journeymen HQ with Latsy, Toby, Jimmy and the Professor all in the studio. Latsy is feeling good after being crowned a Hyrox 'Champion', although it seems as though he doesn't have enough time to wait in bathroom lines.

During the Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy, Maloney talks some wild nights out in Auckland with big Russell Packer, while over in The Positive Place, Latsy talks about a legendary Dragons sesh in Townsville.

As always, the boys bring it home with the game's "best" pre-game analysis.
It’s a bit of fun, nothing too serious and definitely doesn’t contain any well thought out opinions. This is The Rugby League Journeymen.

The Rugby League Journeymen return for another week of ill-informed opinions and ridiculous stories with Jimmy Maloney, Jeremy Latimore and The Professor.

On this week’s episode the boys dissect Trent Robinson's belief that the Roosters terrible record against the Storm and The Panthers is definitely not psychological, they also look at the impact of the return of Nathan Cleary, they weigh up the Broncos chances now that Adam Reynolds has returned, and they analyse life for a coach when they have lost the dressing sheds.

There's also a Round 21 preview to forget, an epic Mad Monday yarn for The Life and Times of Jerry and Jimmy, while Jimmy previews the reception Toby and the Sharks will get this week in Townsville against the Cowboys.

It’s a bit of fun, nothing too serious and definitely doesn’t contain any well thought out opinions. This is The Rugby League Journeymen.

This week on The Rugby League Journeymen, Toby and Jerry are away so Jimmy Maloney has dragged in his old halves partner Chad Townsend to dissect all things Origin.

Needless to say, Jimmy was in a cracking mood and wasted no time celebrating a historic and hard-fought win by the NSW Blues.

There are also all your other regular segments as well. This week The Life and Times of Chad (rather than Jerry) and Jimmy recounts a great story from when the pair used to be roommates. The Positive Place discusses the unsung heroes the 2016 Sharks premiership, while the boys run their trained eyes over 20 of the NRL.

Lots of fun, nothing too serious and plenty of yarns on this week's instalment of The Rugby League Journeymen.
