The Magpies Takeover: Is This The End of Wests Tigers?

The Wests Tigers are "beyond imploding" after the Holman Barnes Group launched a boardroom coup to take back control of the club. But is this actually a secret plan to kill the joint venture and bring back the Western Suburbs Magpies?

Souths "Written Off" + 2026 Odds Verdicts: Broncos, Eels, Dragons, Tigers, Manly & Raiders

The TAB has released the official Premiership odds for the 2026 NRL season, and Dean "Bulldog" Ritchie is stunned by the disrespect shown to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. With a roster featuring Latrell Mitchell, Cam Murray, and Jack Wighton, are the Bunnies really $21 outsiders, or is this the bet of the year? In this market breakdown, we analyse every major price for 2026. Bulldog labels the St George Illawarra Dragons as the "bolter" for the Top 8, while delivering a brutal verdict on the Wests Tigers' chances of avoiding another wooden spoon. Plus, we debate the Parramatta Eels' drought-breaking chances under Jason Ryles, whether Manly is a trap at $34 following the DCE exit, and if the Brisbane Broncos deserve to be $5 favourites. We also look at the Warriors, Raiders, and the looming "Spoon Bowl" between the Knights and Titans.

Ultimate Code NRL Mailbag: Club Recruitment Panic, NRL Wonderkids & A Reality Check for the Bears

In this episode, we reveal the massive recruitment shockwaves hitting the Sydney clubs. The panic is real at Manly after Reuben Garrick officially signed with the Sydney Roosters, while Souths are fighting to stop Keon Koloamatangi from following him out the exit door. We break down how the Roosters secured Garrick's signature—involving a $650k deal and a post-career real estate gig—and why Parramatta is reportedly "well and truly in front" to snatch Koloamatangi from the Rabbitohs. Is Bulldog's teenage sensation Mitch Woods ready to partner Lachlan Galvin? We discuss the "ideal" 6 and 7 combination and why Stephen Crichton might switch to Fullback And finally, we cover the latest movements for 2026/27: The Storm’s pursuit of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, and which clubs (including Perth?) could land Jahream Bula if he hits the open market.
