We break down the Jackson Hastings for David Klemmer trade between the Wests Tigers and Newcastle Knights - how does each player fit at his new club and who got the best of the deal? 

David Fifita is in the sights of Canberra - and it's no longer just a rumour... would he thrive or fold under the tutelage of Ricky Stuart? 

Plus what options do the St George Illawarra Dragons have at hooker now that Andrew McCullough has retired?

Follow @NRLTweet  

Published November 18, 2022  

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 274 of NOT The Footy Show as they preview the big one - Australia v Samoa in the Rugby League World Cup Final. 

Australia will go in with the same 17 that defeated New Zealand, whereas injury will cost Samoa another starting hooker - with Chanel Harris-Tevita thrown into dummy half with a heck of a job to do. 

We predict the score for the Final and the Man of the Match and it sounds like even The Rock will be watching apparently.

Plus we examine the ridiculous decision by the World Cup organisers to name the Rugby League Golden Boot and Team of the Tournament BEFORE the Final has even been played... 

Classic Rugby League.

NOT The Footy Show Episode 272: Rugby League World Cup Quarter Finals Preview

NOT The Footy Show - Episode 272  

Follow @NRLTweet  

Published November 4, 2022  

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 272 of NOT The Footy Show as we preview the Quarter Finals at the 2021 Rugby League World Cup with all the favoured teams through to the knock-out stages of the tournament. 

Australia hadn't made the call on who was playing halfback prior to recording (Mal Meninga did so during our recording so keep in mind we didn't know yet) but they should walk through Lebanon in their Quarter Final, as should New Zealand over Fiji and England over PNG (maybe). But the Tonga v Samoa clash is going to be epic - will the lads change their pick from pre-tournament and declare Tonga Semi Final bound?

Published November 4, 2022  

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 271 of NOT The Footy Show for the 5th edition of The Recruitment Whisperers during the NRL Off-Season. 

Dylan Brown's manager declaring he's available to the very highest bidder should be setting off alarm bells at Parramatta with not only the new kids on the block the Redcliffe Dolphins keen as mustard but so will be a certain team from the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney... Luke Keary is off-contract at the end of 2024 kids. Mark the Chooks down as a very interested party. 

We also discuss John Bateman's Booster status for Wigan as it appears the Wests Tigers will be the second club to pony up a big transfer fee for the Englishman, and ask if Nathan Brown and David Klemmer might be a better use of funds for Tim Sheens in his short term gig as the head coach at Concord.

Also how did Reuben Garrick convince Manly to give him huge money to be a backup fullback to the guy they are paying over one million dollars to in Tommy Trbojevic? Manly are already putting the Des Hasler cap management era behind them... but is it actually good business? 

We finish the show with the rumblings that a bunch of NRL Club CEOs and Chairmen are less than enthused with NRL CEO Andrew Abdo's lack of doability... something his boss PVL has plenty of.

Published October 28, 2022  

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 270 of NOT The Footy Show as we wrap up Week 2 of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup being played in the UK. 

In Week 2 - Australia looked tremendous, New Zealand scored the most points but Jamaica won World Cup's hearts, PNG still hit to hurt, the Samoans looked more likely and did Tonga take a step back? 

As for England - we are not sure about them... at all.

We wonder what Mal Meninga is trying to achieve by shielding Daly Cherry-Evans from the disappointment of giving up the Australian halfback job to Nathan Cleary and analyse how the Kangaroos will approach player rotation against Italy, and then into the Quarter Final likely against Lebanon. 

We also look at how all the Quarter Finals appear to be set before Week 3 games are played.

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 268 of NOT The Footy Show as we wrap up Week 1 of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup being played in the UK right now. 

We cover off England's gigantic win over a woeful Samoa, Australia doing the business against Fiji and New Zealand cantering to a win over a spirited Lebanon but the game of the tournament so far was PNG v Tonga.

We examine what the first week of results mean for the Quarter Finals - especially on the England-Samoa-Tonga-PNG side of the draw - and explain how France are a genuine shot at making the Quarter Finals at Samoa's expense. 

We also give Andrew Voss a major endorsement to take over at Channel Nine after seeing him in his element commentating RLWC games away from the Fox Formula. Make it happen Ronald!

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 267 of NOT The Footy Show - the third instalment of 'The Recruitment Whisperers' as we discuss Luke Brooks finally, - almost certainly - getting his wish and joining the Newcastle Knights for 2023. 

It looks like Jake Clifford has been helped out the door to the UK and if the Knights decide Brooks is worth the investment - the Whisperers examine if this makes sense for both the Knights and Tigers. Plus we pick apart Buzz Rothfield's exclusive on Joseph Sua'ali'i 'leaving the Chooks'.

We also talk about Michael Maguire joining Canberra and Supercoach Seibold's new off-sider at Manly and cover the Zane Musgrove, Ben Condon, Austin Dias and Poasa Faamausili transfers and the Dragons letting George Burgess go. Oh and Jonah Pezet is better than half the halfbacks in the comp per the Daily Telegraph. 

And today we recorded our first weekly wrap of Rugby League World Cup action on Episode 268 which follows this show.

🔘  Stream the New Podcast or Watch on YouTube

We also have to revisit the jersey number debacle that's a direct result of the Australian Rugby League falling asleep at the wheel (Yes Mal Meninga... this is on you) as they clearly didn't realise the Tournament organisers wanted to change up how jerseys were allocated a two or three years ago. And now we've got a total mess. 

We also cover off the other likely contenders for Semi Final spots in the World Cup - but highlight how Australia and New Zealand cannot meet in the Final this time around - can Tonga, Samoa or hosts England take advantage of the easier road to the Final? 

Earlier today we recorded the second of our The Recruitment Whisperers shows on Episode 265 which is available now.

Published October 7, 2022  

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 264 of NOT The Footy Show - the first of our 'The Recruitment Whisperers' shows for the NRL Off-Season to be released ahead of 2023. 

We cover off Munster and Hunt re-signing, wonder if Klemmer should sign with the Tigers, Tabuai-Fidow joins the Dolphins, Sullivan looks like he's off to Canterbury and ask what's happening at Manly? 

For the record - this show will be our views on the viability of all the NRL signing rumours that will dominate the media over Summer. 

🔘  Download the mp3 version 

🔘  Stream the New Podcast or Watch on YouTube

On this episode of 'The Recruitment Whisperers' we talk: 

• Cam Munster's huge new deal with Melbourne and how he's used THE Dolphins superbly to push his price up past the 1.25m a season mark to stay with the Storm. 
• Ask if Ben Hunt's re-signing with the Dragons is cause for muchos celebrations and will Jayden Sullivan actually be missed if he leaves to go to Canterbury? 
• Will Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow have to score ALL the tries for Redcliffe given he's by far the best attacking weapon they have in their outside backs? 
• Also with Api Koroisau and Isaiah Papali'i committing to turn up to pre-season training at the Wests Tigers - we believe Tim Sheens and Benji Marshall have to get their hooks into David Klemmer asap for 2023 and beyond. 
• And we wrap things up discussing the Supercoach Seibold to Manly rumour and how Des Hasler's exit strategy has already been mapped out with a big fat cheque waiting for him when Manly finally pull the trigger... hopefully not on Seibold though.

We pick our preferred starting lineups and the bench is particular point of contention - with where Jack Wighton ends up in the 17 a big factor in how we settled on our teams. 

Despite some snubs at the selection table, Australia will still field an awesome backline and very handy forward pack so right now we believe they deserve to be firm favourites to retain the World Cup in England.  

We also discuss how Mal Meninga got the team he wanted and that the end of the road of Damien Cook probably should've meant the end for Daly Cherry-Evans too... 

Plus PVL dribbles something about Origin and Test eligibility at the presser that we've included audio of but we couldn't make any sense of it so we didn't even discuss it on the show - we genuinely don't know what he was going on about.  

Stay tuned for Episode 264 and the debut of 'The Recruitment Whisperers' - coming out next. 

Plenty more podcasts to come during the Rugby League World Cup.
