   Episode 214 | “Roosters play for Premierships; Kangaroos announce RLWC squad”

   The Sydney Roosters are your 2026 NRL Premiers after a dominant display from the Roosters against a never-say-die Newcastle Knights. The panel analyse the key moments from the game, the player ratings, and give their take on who should have been awarded the Clive Churchill Medal (hint: none of them said James Tedesco)… Around the Grounds saw Wakefield win their first Super League Premiership in 58-years, London Broncos annihilate Doncaster in the Championship division, Roosters win the NRLW Premiership in a perfect season, and a thrashing in the State Championship won by the Redcliffe Dolphins. In the Bunker Review, the boys analyse the Dally M Awards, the Man of Steel, and end with discussing the 23-man Australian Kangaroos squad for the Rugby League World Cup, as well as players pledging their allegiance to other nations in the tournament. —— TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 11:05 - Episode Overview 12:42 - NRL Grand Final: Sydney Roosters def.

   Episode 213 | “One of the greatest finals games in rugby league history”

   The Newcastle Knights dream run to the Grand Final has culminated with one of the greatest underdog wins in NRL Finals history when a 12-man Knights overcame a powerhouse, albeit injury-riddled, Penrith Panthers in the Prelim - with the latter now dealing with a shocking leg injury to Nathan Cleary that has clouded the remainder of his NRL career (and Phoenix Crossland now suspended for 4 weeks as a result of the injury). In the other prelim, the Sydney Roosters dominated the Dolphins in a one-sided contest… It now all comes down to the 2026 NRL Grand Final between Roosters and Knights… Around the Grounds we will also see history in the Super League as Warrington will face Wakefield, with one of these clubs set to break a very, very, very long premiership drought… NSWRL and QLDRL lower grade GFs were also played this past weekend. —— TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 01:20 - Preliminary Final: Knights upset Panthers to make first GF in 25 years 34:50 - Episode Overview 37:41 - Preliminary Final: Roosters dominate Dolphins to make the GF 53:54 - NRL Grand Final Preview: Sydney Roosters v Newcastle Knights 1:06:33 - Bunker Review: NRL sack GF entertainment 1:12:30 - ATG: Super League Finals Prelims Review + GF Preview 1:14:14 - ATG: NRLW Finals Prelims Review + GF Preview 1:15:40 - ATG: NSW Cup, Jersey Flegg, Womens Prem, & QLD Cup Finals GF Reviews 1:20:23 - Outro —— Click the link to follow us on Instagram, Facebook & TikTok, or to listen on your preferred podcasting platform: https://linktr.ee/thesidelinestoryrlpodcast (https://linktr.ee/thesidelinestoryrlpodcast) —— Hosted by Daniel Tassone, Nicholas Guild & Ryan Clarke.
