The NRL Playbook

In recent discussions, we've been hearing whispers about coaching changes in the NRL. It's all about timing and performance, right? Shane Flanagan’s name keeps popping up, and the pressure is on. Coaches know they need results, or they might find themselves out the door. Mr Matrix is the coach whisperer and he has spoken! Tune in to find out more!

Every week, it's a new story in rugby league. From the Broncos' unexpected implosion post-premiership to the intense competition among teams, there's no shortage of excitement. On that note- we are down to 79 Players in the Knockout! With over 100 getting decimated last week with some wild upsets! 

As we dive into the latest round of our tipping comp, it's all about strategy and a bit of luck. Last week was a wild ride with some unexpected results, and this week’s matchups are just as thrilling!  Remember for the Knockout, if you tipped a team last week, you can’t pick them again for the next two weeks. So choose wisely!
