Down the Sideline is a rugby league discussion show exploring the biggest stories in the NRL through the lenses of media, money, market share and the future of the game.


Hosted by David Boldeman, Tim Micallef and Adrian Manca, the podcast goes beyond simple match recaps to unpack what the key moments in rugby league actually mean for clubs, fans, audiences and the sport itself.


Each week the panel tackles:

  • the biggest talking points in the NRL
  • club culture and identity
  • media narratives and pressure
  • expansion and growth
  • audience trends and fan behaviour
  • the business of rugby league
  • and the moments shaping the future of the game


The football is the starting point.

What the football means is the real conversation.

Expect strong opinions, passionate debate, recurring segments, weekly tipping and plenty of rugby league tribalism.


No safe takes.

No fence sitting.


Just real opinions on the sport and where it’s heading.


New episodes weekly.

  • Why Does Origin Feel So Flat This Year?
    2026/05/26

    State of Origin is almost here… so why does rugby league suddenly feel flat?

    In the debut episode of Down the Sideline, David Boldeman and Adrian Manca break down the strangely quiet build-up to the 2026 State of Origin series, the impact of split rounds on the NRL season, and whether the game has lost some of its momentum during its biggest moments.

    The boys preview Game I of Origin, debate Nathan Cleary’s pressure heading into the series, discuss the changing rivalry between New South Wales and Queensland, and ask whether the “mate vs mate” hatred that once defined Origin still exists.

    Also in this episode:

    • Andrew Abdo’s shock move to Tennis Australia
    • What happens next for the NRL CEO role?
    • Vegas teams announced for 2027
    • Is the Vegas concept actually helping the game?
    • Ricky Stuart vs the referees
    • Dolphins resurgence and finals chances
    • South Sydney’s struggles without Latrell Mitchell
    • Warriors vs Panthers discussion
    • Upset Alert
    • Full NRL Round Tips

    Down the Sideline looks at rugby league through the lens of media, money, momentum and what the biggest stories actually mean for the game.
