2 Guys Talkin' Sports

This is it, the grand final is finally here, as much as want it all year it actually means there is just 1 game remaining in the season. Join us for one of the last podcasts this year, we discuss Kevin Walters sacking, was it too early, did he get a chance. Injuries, is a low number of injuries or 'easily covered' injuries the key to success? Reece Robson, best hooker in the NRL this year and the time of the grand final, think of the children...in NZ! Finally the 2 games that played and the big game to come. Enjoy the game!

This is absolutely it, after this weekend the 2 grand final teams will be known and 1 massive game will be left. It's almost time to find out who will be crowned king. Firstly we discuss the finals system, is it really that bad if the ranked 1 and 2 teams are in the grand final? Speaking of good or bad, the PNG team has been offically announced and we discuss the reality as best we can. All the games that played (Two) and all the games to come (Two). Enjoy the game!

It's week 2 of the finals and there are only 2 games but I expect them to be absolute crackers. We get into a bit of Ref talk again this week but for once it's pretty positive! 4 amazing finals games played and we discuss them all and the 2 games to come, join us and see what you think. Enjoy the game!

This is it, the finals are finally here, while some games have been important before now, nothing has been this important. One wrong move and it could all be over, just can't wait! This week, should we bring the 2 refs back, we certainly have some ideas. Should there be a ref in commentary to explain the (wrong) calls? Of course we do touch on the current Josh Addo-Carr situation. All the games that played and the amazing games to come, Enjoy the game!

It's almost finals but before that, the last round of the Season. NRL Round 27 is full of games that count, must win and can't lose, It's going to be some weekend. First off we break down the whole Elliot Whitehead/ Trent Robinson saga. Then we nit pick a bit on commentators, we know they don't bother to get the names right so what else don't they bother with!! We finish up discussing all those amazing games to come. Enjoy the game!

Another amazing round where almost every game counted and an even more important one to come. Does the salary cap work? This season has been a great example. The Crichton tackle is discussed as everyone is talking about it, was the call fair? Tommy Turbo and the salary story, who else believes the fantasy we have been told? All the games that played and all the games to come, NRL is so good right now. Enjoy the game!

We can all now see which teams are likely to make the final 8 but many games are still very important to the results. Some of the best games come at this time of year when teams are trying to prove something. Join us as today we discuss once again the ref bias and whether refs should disclose allegiances, relationships and or family members at clubs they are asked to officiate. And some stats talk, Is every missed tackle a tackle break? Is a tackle in the act of scoring a try a missed tackle? We finish as always with the games that played in NRL Round 24 and the games to come in NRL Round 25. Enjoy the game!

There are only 4 Rounds to go in the NRL and this is when the games really count, join us as we discuss what all the results mean and who has the best chance for finals. Also, the disruptor, has it been forgotten, did they decide to stop? What do you think of the Flannagan bite, tune in to hear our thoughts. We finish by discussing all the games to come in NRL Round 24. Enjoy the game!

There is not that many rounds left in the NRL season so make sure to catch every game you can before you can't. What did you think about Kasey Badger in the bunker and Gavin badger in the box? Are the refs bias, we talk once again about the age old 2 Guys theory and whether it should be taken seriously. There's a little on the media and the stories they constantly make up followed by the tried and true review of NRL Round 22 and preview of NRL Round 23. Enjoy the game!

It's the back end of the NRL season now, is your team going to make the 8? We have some great topics this week, Try July, should we be pushing it more? Should we encourage the players more? The Bulldogs played like a different team against the Broncos, have we finally found a team with different 'game plans' for different teams? Plenty on the games that played in NRL Round 21 and some more on the games to come in NRL Round 22. Enjoy the games!

The bigger bye rounds are over now in the NRL and it's back to 8 games every week. The run to the finals is going to be one of the greatest as almost every team is in the hunt. We discuss a bit of origin and some commentary on the commentators commentary before we go into all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 21. Enjoy the game!

Come and join us as we discuss all the games that played in NRL Round 19 and all the games to come in NRL Round 20. We do start with a little origin and if there is any reason to move when Origin is played. Enjoy the game!

It's the last big bye round but there is still plenty to discuss. 6 agains, should we go back? Revert to penalties in the last few minutes? Reduce what 6 agains are called for? In a try scoring situation, Is there any benefit to admitting you didn't get the ball down and not getting the bunker check? Whay are captains challenges not specific to the exact call of the ref, for example why does any knock on count when the ref has only called one? We finish with all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 19. Enjoy the game!

Come and join us again as we discuss this years competition and perceptions. Something we have talked about many times but now is the time to make sure you have adjusted your mindset on how these teams can perform. Are the 'good' teams really good this year or you just still remember the past. Quick wrap of State of origin 2 and then onto the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 17. Enjoy the game!

Another bye round for the NRL so only 5 games but still plenty to talk about. State of Origin game 2 is a big one after the circumstances of game 1. The Dolphins lost an interchange for using the wrong card, fair or stupid? Only 3 send off offences have been commited this year, all by Roosters players, are these stats alarming? We discuss all the games that played in NRL Round 16 and all the games to come in NRL Round 17. Enjoy the game!

Join us as we discuss all the talking points of NRL Round 15. The games are all great of late but this round was an absolute cracker. The NRL ladder is a bit decieving at the moment with the lopsided bye count, how do you feel about your teams position? How do you feel about when your team gets their byes? We discuss a strange call from Blocker Roach and an even stranger call in the Warriors Storm game. As always all the games that played and all the games to come including our (sometimes useless) amazing tips. Enjoy the game!

The NRL is back to normal this week with a full set of games, the season has been so hard to call because the teams are so tight again. Even the top teams are within reach for almost everyone. We start with a little State of Origin talk but not too much, the Sualii send off put a small dampener on the QLD victory. We talk about the send off and explain why there is no real arguement agaisnt it. Lachie Galvin asking for a realease, is it true? Is it right? Player agents, are they all as dodgy as they seem, their job is to have players sign contracts after all? All the games that played in NRL Round 14 are discussed and all the games to come this weekend. Enjoy the game!

There might not have been as many games as usual and there may have been some stars missing but what a weekend of football. The bye round produced some amazing games, join us as we discuss the issues that arose from the weekend. Was the bye round good, should we move state of origin? I repeat my query from last week, why don't teams have 2 kickers, 1 for left and 1 for right? We discuss all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 14. Enjoy the game!

NRL Round 12 was very different to the week before, we went from tight games to blowouts in just one week! Start as usual with some odd topics, 2 penalty tries this weekend and I think its time for the NRL to explain the process a bit more. The 20/40 is it underused? We let a bit of Origin talk slip in while we discuss all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 13. Enjoy the game!

Join us once again for another epidsode of 2 Guys Talkin Sports where we talk about everything NRL. We start with the Held call, is it currently pointless? Should it be inforced a but more? The 6 again has thrown up 2 more 'no advantage' scenarios this week and we discuss why consistency would fix our concerns. In the Canberra game there was a high difficulty hip drop into a hip drop, should Sualii be picked for Origin, should there be a team in PNG, we cover a lot this week. Enjoy the game!

Come and join us to hear some of our crazy takes about this weeks topics. We of course start with the David Fifita saga, we discuss what Braith Anasta said about why a player would take less at the Roosters, is it cheating? One of my previous trick plays was put into use on the weekend, a simple one but used by the best team in the NRL! Ans as always we finish with all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL ROUND 11. Don't miss the Badger badgers Badger explanation and enjoy the games!

After another amazing round with multiple upsets, we lead into another week where every game is hard to pick. Join us this week to discuss, Should teams be able to get top tier players for half a year at half the price, seems simple but is it? Is Blocker the worst commentator on TV, we have another example for the list! Kasey Badger, what everyone is talking about this week, not a pile on though, our problem isnt with Kasey. Plus Insults, they are meant to be insulting, we talk abouth this more than we should but it is prevalant to this weeks discussions. All the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 10. Enjoy the game!

The compettion is tight again this year and every round has amazing games. Join us again as we discuss all the games that played and all the games to come. We have some great topics this week, Commentators are the 'excitement' ones better than the 'clinical' ones? The Penrith Panthers domination relies on thier consistancy, are they still as dominant this year? Scott thinks David Fifita is overpaid, listen to his opinion and see if you agree. We talk about all the games to come in NRL Round 9 and we pause for a little to offer our opinions on if we believe that Jason Demetriou will be sacked before Round 10. Enjoy the game!

Join us for another great Podcast where we discuss many things NRL including field goals, is ther a better way? The salary cap and why it is actually a good thing. I put forth a theory in this episode about 2 halves of football, is there an advantage to be had from being down at halftime? I also put forth an idea for the Rabbitohs, Lattrell Mitchell to Five-eigth!! As always we discuss all the games that played in NRL Round 7 and all the games to come in Round 8. Enjoy the game!

Welcome, after another great round on the weekend we bring you another podcast packed with strange opinions. We get ahead of the talk about banning the kickoff, we are not for it but we have some interesting thoughts on the stats! Why don't teams ever 'load up' players on one side, its not exactly a trick play this week but a fun discussion. We touch on some ref talk again, Is the 'secrecy' around the refs and their lack of critique an actual problem? Why are paid professionals not expected to do the job they are paid for well? We go through all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL Round 5. Enjoy the game!

We provide a different prospective on the kick chase and who we think is actually at fault in some of these high flying collisions. The hip-drop tackle has been banned in the NFL and we have some advice for those that are not on board. After last weeks coach discussions Scott offers ' I see your Ciraldo and raise you a Demetriou' Finally we discuss all the games that played and all the games to come in NRL ROUND 4 2024.

Join us again for another episode for NRL Season 2024, Round 1 is over and we discuss all the first hames of the season as always. The podcast starts with some talk about which Coach could get sacked mid season and we think there is only 1 possibility. Is the Penrith system actually good or is there just a purple patch of players? Week 1 and already some Ref talk but when it counts we have to discuss it. I have a trick play again, hidden in the recap of the Eels Bulldogs game. We finish with our tips for NRL Round 2 and a short discussion on the outcome of the Spencer Leniu racial slur case. Enjoy the game!

*APOLOGIES FOR THE BAD AUDIO RECENTLY, WE HOPE TO FIX THIS ASAP* We hope what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas! The first 2 games of round 1 have played in Las Vegas and they were amazing. Both games were fast and hard and everything we wanted and everything we hope to see this season. In this podcast we cover both games that played and the impact that could come from this effort in the US. There was a nasty incident involving Spencer Leniu and Ezra Mam and we unfortunately give that some air time. Do we use the Dummy pass enough? I have another trick play, surprisingly, and it's not that bad. Don't miss this one as I am likely to run out soon! First team list Tuesday has arrived so we dicuss each teams chances and where thier luck this year might come from. Enjoy the game!

The NRL is back and in less than a week games will have been played. Round 1 begins this week and it's starting in Las Vegas. The first 2 games of the round will be played in good old US of A and we are excited for everything. This week we talk about a few different thoughts we had in the off season and we do discuss the 2 games to come. Can a very good coach ever be considered very bad, why are the NRL promoting such boring clips in the US media, listen to hear my new trick play the 'fake steal' and make sure to join for our proven pre season predictions. Enjoy the game!

That's it, the season is over and the NRL grand final has been played. There is only one game but we also discuss the percieved hate for the Panthers, or for us Luai in particular. Also included in this podcast, Nathan Clearys greatness, more offload talk, the Dally M point system problems and obviously how the ref went in the big game. There may be no more for a while but we hope you enjoy the game!

Just the grand final to go, we discuss the chances the 2 teams have and that of course comes after we talk about the games that played. We get into offloads a bit this week, so important but why don't we see more? Couple of ref blunders as usual and we go a bit into our opinion of the 'Panthers Legacy'. Enjoy the game!!

There is only 2 Rounds of finals left and the season is over, we still have plenty to talk about though. With the big referee blunders from the weekend front and centre we once again discuss the lack of critique for these protected species. The talk of a 'square up' after the big blunder in the Storm Roosters game has us discussing the subconcious bias once again. If it is recognised in other sports why are we ignoring it in the NRL! We talk about the 2 games that played and the 2 games to come. Enjoy the game!

The NRL finals are right on top of us and the games in Round one have been great. Topics today, Val Holmes bag of white powder, the photo as least.

We have some valid points about some of the Captains challenges that have being denied. Did the Broncos tank the last game? Should the Roosters and Raiders be in the final 8? We discuss this and the finals games to come. Enjoy the game!

Its the final round of the regular NRL season and while some teams have announced huge restings, others still have their season to play for. The podcast starts off today discussing the Lattrell stories and the situation at the Rabbitiohs, preferential treatment comes up and we have some different thoughts on that. The new game Scotts Synonyms makes another appearance, where I try and make an incident from a game on the weekend 'sound smart' and Scott guesses the incident. We finish with some talk of the games to come in NRL Round 27. Enjoy the game!

Unlike many other seasons we still have almost every team playing for something. A dozen teams can still make the 8 and not even the top or bottom is decided. We start with a new game, so lets see how people like that. All the games that played are discussed and we find some moments to have a problem with as usual. We go through the amazing games to come in NRL Round 26 including some dubious tipping. Enjoy the game!
