    Five Rugby League players. Years of high-level experience. Endless passion for the game.

    Niuy, Bobo, Vassy, Duck Arse, and Captain America are back — bringing laughs, stories, and expert takes on all things rugby league with zero filters.

    Duck Arse breaks down the past weekend’s NRL action, highlighting key results, standout performances, and major talking points, with the rest of the crew jumping in with reactions and debate.

    We then move into the Super League Round Up, covering the biggest results and storylines across the competition.

    Next is Bobo’s Breakdown, where Bobo takes us through an entertaining review of a selected game.
