  • Tales from beyond the RLWC: Canada Rugby League
    Oct 5 2026

    New ep! After some tough times following the demise of the Toronto Wolfpack, Canada Rugby League is trying to rise and forge a path to become regular fixtures at future Rugby League World Cups.


    Nicholas Mew explains the challenges they've faced, the lessons they've learned and the fun they're having along the way, including a trip to the upcoming RLWC in Australia. Nicholas also takes us through his unique relationship with the game, from totally oblivious 10 years ago, to becoming a Wolfpack superfan and now a Canadian Masters Rugby League veteran.

  • PRL Classic - Happy Birthday Rugby League with Tony Collins
    Aug 28 2026

    In August 2020, at the 125th anniversary of Rugby League's birth, Professor Tony Collins joined us to crystal ball what Rugby League could be 125 years into the future.


    The Rugby split was the product of a specific period of modern history. What social, economic and cultural ingredients would be needed for reunification to ever be on the cards? Are Rugby League's core tenets strong enough to withstand a major societal shock? What about an economic meltdown? Or a hyper-capitalistic future?


    It was prognostications off the back fence, with the good Professor using his limitless knowledge of Rugby League and societal history to whack some sense into proceedings.


    It's Rugby League Looking Back, Looking Forward.
