After a much-needed week off due to sickness in the Paladin household, the boys are back! And what a story to come back to regarding Brandon Smith… he’s alleged to have supplied a drug dealer with inside knowledge of Bunnies’ team selection to place a bet, as well as hooking up some former Roosters teammates with ‘nose candy’. Allegedly! Blairy & Goran talk about the sensational headlines that seem to follow the Hectic Cheese throughout his career, and wonder what the deterrent is for players to avoid scenarios like this?
Away from that, the focus turns to Warriors v Eels on Friday night, pitting Goran’s two favourite teams against each other. The boys talk about where Parramatta are most dangerous, the temporary role Dylan Brown finds himself in at left centre, and how it has the potential to be a long night for RTS and Adam Pompey with Mitch Moses kicking to Zac Lomax - one of the best in the NRL under the high ball.
There’s a stroke of genius from Ivan Cleary (or is it a big middle finger to the fans?), a possible return to the NRL for Kiwi winger Will Warbrick, and we predict Round 26 with Betcha This Happens!
