This week, Kevie Walters is joined by co-host Ben Dobbin for a chat with one of the toughest players to ever wear a Broncos jersey—Tonie Carroll. From growing up in New Zealand and making the move across the ditch, to carving out a hard-hitting career in the NRL and on the rep stage, Tonie opens up about the journey that made him one of rugby league’s most feared defenders.

There’s no shortage of classic stories either—like the time, two nights before the ’98 Grand Final, a bit of roughhousing between Kevie and Alfie left Alfie with a split head and a dramatic fainting episode in the middle of the street. And in true Carroll fashion, Tonie also reveals his favourite tackle of all time and why nothing beats the sound of cracked ribs.

A beauty of an episode full of laughs, memories, and hard hits.

Inside Ball is the ultimate NRL podcast hosted by coach Kevie Walters and Ben ‘Dobbo’ Dobbin. Inside Ball delivers an entertaining mix of expert rugby league analysis, lively banter and tall tales are spun by Kevie and some of his legendary mates.
