Podcasts etc

As I've told you all my 'deep-Parra mole' is now my 'deep-Bears mole' so this doesn't come from that source. Rather, it's just an Eels mate who heard it on a podcast.

Metcalf to the Eels.

Haha I'm going to listen to that.

I don't listen to Levels anymore because of big Viliame/Wiremu. He's too bonkers. He compared Burton/Galvin to Moses/Cleary. Everything is the shithouse or the penthouse.

yeah ive cut down too, was just too much of Willie flying off the handle and Horo having to correct him or tame him, it was funny/interesting at the start but it is now a bit annoying. Sometimes you just want to hear Horo's opinion but Willie kind of overreaches a bit. Now I just listen to levels on an ad hoc basis.

I tell you which one I recently stumbled across, its Buzz Rothfield and Andrew Websters (journo) new podcast, Off the Record. The episode they had recently with Matty Johns was great. Matty Johns is probably the best all round bloke in rugby league tbh

Yeah that's exactly how I feel about Levels.

I've listened to Buzz and Webster and it isn't bad, but I feel like Buzz is just a cartoon character and a parody of journalism at this point. He's just on another planet.

Six Tackles with Gus has always been my favourite, but now I feel like I'm off Gus.

Maybe the problem is me

Sixes and Sevens, Pearce and Carney go good

Sportscafe is back now, only downside is Ali Williams on it

Good character all round isnt he. Good mix of smart and entertaining, doesn't fly off the handle.

His show with Cronk is my favourite. Really enjoy listening to them break down plays and stuff. Wish it was longer/more often but if anyone can recommend other poddys with similar content, I'd be grateful.

Listening to Six Tackles with Gus this week, he dedicates a few solid minutes to blowing massive smoke up the backside of Mark Robinson and how great he is, how he is a brilliant businessman and creates elite environments. Says the best is yet to come from the Warriors.

But we all know Gus always has an agenda or a bias, and given part of his story was also attending the Alpha's 60th (where he declared the Warriors will win the premiership this year, we are told) we have to factor that in.

Andrew Johns on with the Hello Sport lads is an entertaining listen. His yarns about rooming with Hopoate were crack up

Was listening to James Graham yesterday who had Jamie Soward on, Soward was going in depth on a few things and said he has a podcast with Rugby League Guru called Take the Two for footy nerds where he breaks stuff down. Haven’t heard it myself so don’t know if it’s any good but may be sort of what you’re after

Was listening to Gallen on with Johns as well and had a laugh when he said that he and Gus don’t really communicate at all off camera

The Rugby League Digest, their 40 chapter (multi episode per chapter) deep dive into the Super League War is easily the best rugby league series (documentary, podcast, limited run tv/on demand, all of it) I've listened/watched. Phenomenal.

The Rugby League Cemetary, for giggle at retro footy (heavy emphasis on the Winfield Cup and early 00s Super Saturdays!).

The footy bro chat in other podcasts does get a bit old. Levels has its moments, but the ref whinging and game-bashing grows tiresome too. They do have genuine passion and chemistry though.

Thoughts on SJ's League Lounge?

I got through a good chunk of those super league ones over the off season but stalled on it, will have to head back again

SJ, watched last weeks, didn’t mind it and it has plenty of potential, I can see the way he acts and talks getting a bit tiresome at times for me personally though
