Five Rugby League players. Years of high-level experience. Endless passion for the game.

Niuy, Bobo, Vassy, Duck Arse, and Captain America are back — bringing laughs, stories, and expert takes on all things rugby league with zero filters.

This week, the Rat Pack sits down with special guest Steven “Johno” Johnson, who has been involved in rugby league in Australia, to discuss his involvement in key initiatives across the game — including the Rugby League World Cup in 2013, the Arthur Beetson Foundation’s annual rugby league events in Las Vegas, and the Ipswich Jets’ push for an NRL expansion license as the potential 20th team.

Duck Arse breaks down the past weekend’s NRL action, highlighting key results, standout performances, and major talking points, with the rest of the crew jumping in with reactions and debate.

We then move into the Super League Round Up, covering the biggest results and storylines across the competition.
