If you’re anything like me, you’re an absolute fiend for thoughtful and introspective rugby league coverage. Sadly, the fall of mainstream rugby league coverage means the back pages are now littered with blithering tales of war chests and secret meetings rather than anything of real substance.

The NRL’s Wheel of Misfortune

My Family Means More: Brian To’o and the Eligibility Debate

I’ve committed to releasing a new edition every Monday morning at 7:30am, Eastern time, just in time for your morning coffee accompaniment or commute to work.

There’ll also be sporadic bonus editions as issues arise, like a #crackdown on hip drops or Jack Wighton signing for South Sydney.

Maybe further down the line I’ll move to a committed two posts per week, but for now let’s not stretch ourselves too thin.
