  2. The Daily: World Cup goosebumps, Latrell dilemma & Chief Brimson

    Show notes

    The Tonga vs. Samoa World Cup clash lived up to its billing. Josh Morris joins Adam Hawse to answer the very legitimate question as to whether the clash now rivals State of Origin. With the semi-finallists determined, are the Australians really entitled to be favourites? Kevin Walters insists Latrell Mitchell is not on the outer, but it seems strange that a player of that calibre can't get on the field. November 1 has arrived, and it appears AJ Brimson will end up at the PNG Chiefs. They have some impressive names on their roster, but need forwards. And Nathan Cleary will not be at the Roosters.

  6. The Daily: Walker's overreach, Hammer retention & Burton to the Bears

    Show notes

    What's the worst that could happen? That's the question Sam Walker would have asked himself when going for that bit extra. He found out. Former NRL player Michael Buettner joins Adam Hawse to discuss the Sam Walker situation as the fallout continues. Buetts talks about the necessity of player management and contract dealing during his career. With so many players potentially on the move, the Dolphins secured a win with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow agreeing to remain in Redcliffe. The same can't be said about Herbie Farnworth or Jack Bostock. Matt Burton's management has opened talks with the Perth Bears, and Cody Walker is set to stick around at Souths.

    Show notes

    The fallout from the Sam Walker and Hudson Young contract sagas continues. Mark Geyer joins Adam Hawse as the details are revealed about how it all came apart. What does it take to make a player happy? If Walker and Young have played their last games for their respective clubs, where might the end up? On the World Cup, a K-band has potentially shut out and extra 30-40 thousand fans for the Tonga v Samoa clash. It's a rivalry arguably on par with Origin. And does Kevin Walters' dropping of Sam Walker have something to do with the outside noise?
