405 - NRL, AFL, Supercoach
This episode The Producer goes solo to catch up all the NRL and AFL infor plus look at the Supercoach Competitions.
NRL and the Penrith Panthers are not only leading the competition after only dropping one game this season but they are also the current Bats and Balls Champions. This season is a wild one with 6 agains and injuries being the main topic of disccusion rather than the quality of football beig played.
AFL and the Swan and Fremantle lead the field whilea group of teams are trying to run them down. It has been a really tough season for GWS and West Coast so far.
