We end the episode with the Super League Round 20 results and transfer news, as well as Super League expanding to 14 teams in 2026, the NRLW Round 5 Magic Round results, and the Warriors NSW Cup 14-game win-streak coming to an end!

“You're listening to The Sideline Story Rugby League Podcast: The Greatest View of Rugby League from the Sideline”

The race to the Top 8 is whittled down to 10 teams with faint hope for the Tigers and Knights who sit just outside that bracket… The boys discuss the (not-so) convincing Top 4 in the NRL at the moment, the threats of the Broncos and Panthers, the upward form of the Sharks, Sea Eagles and Dolphins, and the red lines through the bottom teams… There is also a massive discussion surrounding the threat of the rebel ‘Rugby360’ competition designed to shake the core of Rugby Union which will also affect the NRL, as well as Kevin Walters becoming the next Australian Kangaroos coach! We end the episode with the Super League Round 19 results, NRLW Round 3 results, NSW Cup ladder update after Rd20 and QLD Cup after Rd18!
