NRLCEO Fantasy Rugby League

After a week off, the pod is back, but Deano isn't. He's off doing some soul searching after slumping to last place in the 6'Some Cup. That leaves Bona and Mig to hold down the fort and stir the pot. The boys recap Origin I and offer Coach Slater some helpful advice for Game 2, including a few bold selection calls. There's praise (and a little eye-rolling) for the usual double workhorse suspects, and the lads dive into Lachlan Galvin's move to the Bulldogs, with some pointed words for Gus Gould and his sneaky antics. Mig doesn't miss the chance to throw some extra salt on the Broncos' wounds with a few home truths, and we get stuck into how the Origin schedule could be fixed to ease the pain for CEO coaches. All that plus a look ahead to the Round 14 matchups. Plenty to unpack—don't miss it! This is NRLCEO HQ..

All three coaches copped losses this week, so there's no strutting into this episode, just a heap to unpack. We dive into a brutal run of CEO-relevant injuries, a smorgasbord of fantasy gold including a rare triple workhorse and some nostalgic double WH from two hookers. The Warriors keep quietly stacking wins, while the Broncos are spiralling both on and off the field. Plus, we break down the freshly named Origin squads and look ahead to a rep-affected round that still dishes up some juicy matchups. It's all happening. Get it in your ears. This is NRLCEO HQ..

We're back, baby! After a 4-week freshen-up, the boys return with a bumper episode—longer than usual, but well worth the wait. Mig is riding high after Papi dragged him out of CEO jail against Bona's Legends, despite Mig all but waving the white flag on Saturday. Bona's putting on a brave face (just), while Deano's Dregs find themselves in a chaotic 3-way battle for 4th, 5th… and the spoon. The lads break down that Latrell field goal and debate whether his late try was against the spirit of the game, or just classic Latrell doing Latrell things. Speaking of controversy, is golden point still needed after the Panthers-Cowboys draw? And don't miss the underground conspiracy theory nobody's talking about… the mysterious wetting of the ball. (Robert Derby knows what we're on about.) From massive comebacks to the Perth Bears announcement, Vegas matchups, Origin selections, and the CEO gods blessing us with 5 double workhorses, this episode has it all. We also go around the grounds in the Legends of League comps and reveal the NRLCEO Dream Team as of Round 10. Strap in, it's good to be back! This is NRLCEO HQ..

With Mig off at band camp (well, sort of), it's just Bona and Deano running the show this week—and things get heated! The boys go toe-to-toe over Lachlan Galvin's shock decision to leave the Tigers at the end of 2026. Bona dives into the NRL's suspension wrap sheet and uncovers some seriously surprising numbers. There's plenty of love for CEO standouts from the weekend, including The Hammer and Hudson Young, and the lads break down all the massive matchups ahead of the Easter Long Weekend. No Mig, no worries, this one still packs a punch! This is NRLCEO HQ..

Hamstrings are snapping, and CEO coaches are sweating. Another week, another injury crisis! The boys tee off on the NRL's baffling sin bin inconsistency and their ongoing blind spot when it comes to forward passes. It's farewell (or is it good riddance?) to Damien Cook as his CEO career flatlines before our eyes. Plus, we look ahead to the Round 6 matchups and what they mean for your CEO side. Strap in—this one's got rants, roasts, and a touch of regret. This is NRLCEO HQ..

Deano is back, and the band's officially reunited! The boys kick things off by recapping their fantasy weekend catch-up, which included plenty of laughs, banter, and an unhealthy amount of chicken. They dive into the looming crackdown on head highs and what it could mean for CEO coaches everywhere. Mig doesn't hold back with a scorching hot take: Deano's season is spoon-bound! Plus, the lads break down the fullbacks who've gone MIA in CEO so far and preview all the big matchups ahead of Round 5. It's juicy, it's spicy, just like Deano's special sauce. Don't miss it! This is NRLCEO HQ..

It's a two-man show this week, with Bona and Mig holding the fort while Deano continues his recovery. Bona returns to the hosting chair after serving his highly controversial (and completely unofficial) one-week suspension. The boys dive into the bizarre Daly Cherry-Evans decision, unpack the CEO fallout from injuries to some key players, and debate whether Josh Curran's cheeky ref impersonation was genius or just plain grubby. Strap in—this one's got drama, dodgy calls, and CEO carnage! This is NRLCEO HQ..

Disaster struck! Our stand-in for Deano, Dax, completely butchered his recording, so it's just Mig and Bona steering the ship this week. But don't worry, we've still got plenty of CEO goodness! We dissect all the big CEO highlights from Round 2, break down Dylan Brown's mind-boggling 10-year deal with the Knights, and get the inside scoop on what it was really like in Vegas for the big NRL kickoff. Plus, Dax still manages to drop some alleged juicy behind-the-scenes goss from a high-profile club, despite not actually being on the pod. It's a shambles, but it's our kind of shambles! This is NRLCEO HQ..

The countdown to the Vegas round is on! Join Bona, Mig, and Deano as they gear up for Round 1 of the 2025 NRL season. The boys swap war stories from their CEO drafts, dish out some spicy hot takes, and sprinkle in their usual banter. Mig reckons he's a hairstylist (jury's out), Deano's dreaming of a "skinny" dip in a Vegas pool, and Bona's tipping plenty of rage from our CEO coaches this year. Footy's back, and so is the chaos! This is NRLCEO HQ.
