10 does not fit into 8, and with two rounds remaining in the NRL regular season it is clutch time for the race to the 2025 NRL Finals Series! On this week’s episode, Clarkie and Guildy crunch the NRL Ladder numbers, and also discuss the firing and hiring of the GC Titans coach, as well as the criminal charges against Brandon Smith… Round 25 of the NRL was another insane round with multiple try of the year contenders and a flipped script for the finals run home.
