Episode Notes

 Our heroes call in some backup as they notch the big 2-0. Former Warrior, Cowboy and Italian international Grant Rovelli chimes into the backline to discuss the increasing influence of the bunker (do we actually have some sympathy for infield referees?), the demise of defence, how the NFL might help the NRL manage dodgy hammies, and some of the fairytale stories of the iconic Confraternity Shield tournament (of which he’s a former MVP). Origin chat turns to the attitudes of the two camps ahead of a trip to Melbourne; one side being adamantly focused on individuals, the other seemingly not giving a s**t. It’s also creeping closer to finals time, so who is wearing the proverbial pants in the top 8? And what’s behind the latest withdrawal from next years trip to Vegas? It’s the grapple, and it’s a gorgeous thing. Get onboard.
