This is the conversation that reveals the man behind the whistle.In this raw and emotional episode, Bill shares stories he rarely tells - from the 24-hour suicide negotiation at The Gap, to the hardest door knock of his police career, to being hoisted on shoulders by 4,500 Papua New Guineans who thought they were going to kill him moments earlier.We cover the Mount Panorama biker riots, the Mario Fenech incident that's haunted him for decades, why Ian Roberts had the best right hook in rugby league, and how a teacher forcing him to get a referee's ticket for $40 changed Australian sport forever.Bill breaks down on mic talking about telling families their loved one jumped in front of a train.

    A big headache for NRL bosses ahead of the grand final. 10 stars are reportedly lined up to leave league, defecting to rugby union's Saudi-backed ‘R360', including Ryan Papenhuyzen, Zac Lomaz, and Warriors winger Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. The competition is targeting an October 2026 start date. But Australian Sports Journalist Jim Dolan confirmed to Mike Hosking that no one has officially signed onto the project yet. He says there's no coaches, no venues, and while there's plenty of talk of money coming in from around the world, no one's actually put their hand up and confirmed they're investing.

    It's often said it's a good thing not to stand still, but why is the sport's governing body never happy? In a game which seems to be constantly re-inventing itself, this time on Rugby League Top 10 we're talking innovations.A lot of change has followed the move to summer rugby in 1996, when Super League was born. With it came the introduction of the video referee, now widely copied in many other sports. While two years later, winning the league suddenly wasn't enough and so the play-offs and Grand Final were introduced giving broadcasters the major event at the end of the season they craved.Often, it's the rules which have been altered to improve the game. In 1993, the reference point for measuring the defensive line at a play-the-ball was extended to 10 metres. The new rule promoted more lateral ball movement, but in typical rugby league style it was introduced mid-season and the players had to just get on with it.This season has witnessed the addition of the Captain's Challenge, to mixed reviews. The goal was to reduce incorrect referee calls, though it's been said the system just disrupts the game's flow. Wigan's Liam Farrell was the first Super League player to make a Captain's Challenge. It was unsuccessful!Off the field, the sport has also been creative in its collaboration with sponsors. When a haulage company took the naming rights for Super League it was sold as a progressive deal where, instead of paying any money, the haulage company agreed to plaster Super League players on the side of their vehicles to increase awareness. In the end, sightings of those trucks were few and far between.And not to be confused with a later tie-up with a pizza company. In 2020, during Covid, they supplied post-match pizzas to the teams in exchange for perimeter advertising. It was, to be fair, a cunning plan to feed the players safely during those restrictions, but Sam Tomkins wasn't quite as convinced. He tweeted after one match, "I hope we can negotiate new toppings on the next pizza deal. We can accept no money, but tuna pizza is taking the ****."

    What makes a great coach? Sustained success obviously plays a huge part, but there are several other deciding factors which elevate some coaches above others.Alongside the arbitrary 40-year rule to qualify for the top ten, and to make it a level playing field, our nominees need to have coached a club to a Super League title, that is, during an era when the sport was fully professional. Unfortunately, that rules out legendary leaders like Dougie Laughton and Alex Murphy, alongside a few others who did, but still missed the cut.However, it does include the likes of John Monie, the hugely successful Wigan coach who claimed the very first Super League Grand Final. That was after guiding them to four consecutive league and cup doubles between 1990 and 1993 as Monie won over 80% of the games he coached with the Cherry and Whites.Brian McDermott won four Super League Grand Finals with Leeds, twice guiding the Rhinos to victory after finishing fifth in the regular season and led them to the treble in 2015. While the current England coach, Shaun Wane, steered Wigan to three Grand Final triumphs and will be hoping to add to that success in this autumn's Ashes series.Current Wigan boss, Matt Peet, won a quadruple in 2024, making it seven trophies in his first three seasons in charge of the Warriors. While Kristian Woolf was victorious in each of his three seasons in charge of St Helens and also coached Tonga to victory over Australia in 2019, one of the greatest upsets in rugby league history.Others under consideration include Tony Smith, a winner with Leeds and Warrington, who also took charge of England and Great Britain. Kiwi, Brian McLennan, secured back-to-back Super League titles with Leeds, Ian Millward was a multi-trophy winner with St Helens and Daniel Anderson who led Saints to a treble and two different NRL clubs to Grand Finals. Finally, there's panellist Brian Noble, a three-time Grand Final winner with Bradford Bulls and coach of Great Britain. But can 'Nobby' persuade the others to vote for him as the best coach of the modern era?
