#153: Can Anyone Stop Wigan? Bevan French, NRL Finals & Super League Final Round

In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan discuss all the latest action and major talking points from another huge weekend of Rugby League.

They begin with the blockbuster top-of-the-table clash between Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos, as Wigan produced a dominant performance to win 40-8. The pair ask the big question: can anyone stop Wigan this season?

Martyn and Jake also discuss the brilliance of Bevan French, questioning why one of the world's most exciting players has not been targeted by an NRL club and whether he could still make a return to Australia.

Elsewhere, they review Wakefield Trinity's win over Warrington Wolves and Toulouse Olympique's continued impressive form, following another victory against Hull FC.

The episode also covers Jake Connor winning this year's Albert Goldthorpe Medal, Liam Farrell announcing his retirement, and the battle at the bottom of the table as Martyn and Jake debate which club will finish with the wooden spoon.

Over in Australia, they discuss Peter V'landys' ambitious idea to create a Disneyland-style NRL theme park, before previewing the first round of the NRL Finals and looking ahead to this weekend's Super League fixtures.
