Rugby League Guru joins the boys to chat all things League with the boys.

The boys dive deep into Christian Woolf's remarkable tenure as Tongan coach, Papua New Guinea Chiefs' entrance into the NRL, including the unveiling of their new jersey and logo, the signing of teen sensation Cooper Bai on potentially the richest deal in NRL history, and what it means for the Gold Coast Titans. The panel debates the World Cup format — should Australia and New Zealand still get a free pass to the finals? Is a two-tiered World Cup the answer? And what's the future of the international game with Samoa and Tonga now genuine powerhouses?
