Jimmy Maloney return to the Extended Bench to chat all things NRL, as this week we look at the rumours around Nathan Cleary heading to the Warriors, as well as Joey Manu heading to the PNG Chiefs in season 2028. We also get stuck in the issues the NRL’s newest franchise faces in it’s first year and ask if the extra pay is really worth it.
After that we take a look at the dumpster fire that is the Wests Tigers season & cast an eye over the appointment of Dean Young as full time coach of the Dragons.
