| Interview | The Sideline Story of Leilani Latu | 11 Feb 2022 | 02:06:44 | |
Finding his love for rugby league at a time he and his family struggled to make ends meet, putting in the daily grind and plenty of sacrifice to one day break into the NRL, Leilani's journey to reach these heights was never an easy one. . A Wests Tigers junior who flourished under the Canterbury Bulldogs rep system, to then debut as a Penrith Panther in first-grade is just the tip of the iceberg for our humble Indigenous-Italian-Tongan interviewee. . At the peak of his powers, Leilani was one of the most terrifying prop-forwards in the game and his journey reflects that sentiment. .

| Interview | The Sideline Story of Brent Varga | 29 Oct 2021 | 01:18:24 | |
Although not a household name, Brent Varga, the Hungarian rugby league test international from Mount Druitt, has one of the more unique rugby league stories to tell. . From a tall, lanky fullback coming through the Penrith Panthers junior system, converting to the wing (and enemy code in rugby union) turning out for the Penrith Emus in the Shute Shield, before coming full-circle making a return to ‘the greatest game of all’ to become Hungary’s 47th capped RL international. . Recorded in our Western Sydney Brewery Studio, Brent Varga shares his passion for the game of rugby league at all levels and what it truly means to play this great sport. .

| Interview | The Sideline Story of Mick Liubinskas | 25 Jun 2021 | 01:32:45 | |
Hear the journey of how a young Western Australian-born, Lithuanian boy took up the sport of rugby league to one day reach it's pinnacle by signing a contract with the then-known New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL), playing first grade with the Western Suburbs Magpies and Balmain Tigers. . Mick endured through a golden era of "the greatest game of all", playing alongside Wests legend Tommy Raudonikis, a great friend of Mick's until his passing earlier this year, also John Dorahy, John Donnelly, Steve Blyth and Ronny Giteau just to name a few. Not to mention, lining up against immortals in Artie Beetson and Bob Fulton. . Mick took to the field during the 1970s, arguably the toughest era for rugby league, where he ultimately contributed to transcending the sport into what it is today. His contribution off-field is just as significant, currently chairman of the Wests Ashfield board (40 years after representing their clubs) and also giving back to his junior club, the Concord-Burwood Wolves. .

| Interview | The Sideline Story of David Walsh | 06 Jun 2021 | 01:27:12 | |
Hear how a boy born in Sydney's Inner Western suburbs, blooded into a diehard Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league family, plying his trade in both league and union as a teenager, spends a decade and a half at the powerhouse Canterbury Leagues Club in Belmore during the Super League War, the Bulldogs Salary Cap Scandal, and of course the madness of their 2004 grand final victory, before becoming the C.O.O. of Wests Ashfield League Club. . We also segway into the Sideline Story of Bruce Walsh, David's late father, a prominent figure in the rugby league community in the 1980s for pioneering unique training techniques to develop athletes during rugby league's transition from semi-professional to full-time professional.
