James Graham, Charlie White and Rugby League Guru dig into NRL player movement, including Canberra’s Hudson Young decision, Manly’s roster questions and the Luke Brooks situation under new coach Kieran Foran, and why transfer stories matter so much to fans.
They reflect on the intensity of the Samoa-Tonga clash and debates how international footy could fit into a 20-team NRL calendar. They preview the Tonga-New Zealand and Australia-Samoa semi-finals, weighing selections, matchups and the possibility of an all-Pacific final.
