Episode Notes

In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan break down all the action from the Easter derby clashes, analysing the standout performances and debating which fixture delivered the most excitement.

They also discuss the ongoing drama at Hull FC, following the news that Head Coach John Cartwright will depart at the end of the season, and react to reports linking the club with a mega move for Nathan Cleary, exploring what such a signing could mean for Super League.

Elsewhere, the pair examine the continued growth of French Rugby League, debate expansion in the NRL with a new Brisbane team bid, and whether it should be prioritised over a second New Zealand franchise.

They also preview this weekend’s Challenge Cup Quarter Finals, looking ahead to the key match-ups and what promises to be another big weekend of Rugby League.
