RD20 NRL Review- Broncos Send a Warning, Should the Tigers Drop Luai? & Bunker Chaos Strikes Again

RD20 NRL Review- Broncos Send a Warning, Should the Tigers Drop Luai? & Bunker Chaos Strikes Again

The NRL finals race is heating up, and there's no shortage of controversy to unpack! This week on League of Inches, we break down the Broncos' gutsy performance against Penrith and discuss whether the Panthers became far too conservative after halftime. Is Brisbane starting to believe they can go all the way? We also dive into the Raiders' ongoing hooker dilemma, with Ricky Stuart's use of Owen Pattie under the microscope, while the Dragons once again find themselves on the wrong end of crucial officiating decisions. Plus, has the dummy-half rule gone too far? Elsewhere, we cover Alex Twal's hilarious trip to the sin bin after his "bitch slap" on Jaeman Salmon, debate whether the Tigers should consider resting or dropping Jarome Luai and start building towards next season, discuss Tom Trbojevic's latest injury setback, and react to another baffling bunker decision after Reuben Garrick's controversial try. We also look at the Gold Coast Titans' impressive improvement under Josh Hannay, ask whether "Fozball" is beginning to run out of steam, and cover all the biggest talking points from another huge weekend of NRL action.

Jarome Luai is officially heading to Parramatta for 2027, and we're breaking down every angle of the biggest signing in the NRL.

RD19 Preview- Cleary the Immortal, Billy Gets it Wrong? Tigers Tap Luai, Eels on the Radar

The 2026 State of Origin series is over, and we're breaking down all the biggest moments from the decider. This week on the League of Inches Podcast, we dive into the controversial Bostock touch ruling, the referee decisions that have Queensland fans talking, and whether the criticism is justified after last year's State of Origin Game 2 officiating performance. We also discuss Nathan Cleary's incredible Origin performances and ask the big question: Is Cleary already on track to become an NRL Immortal? Plus, we react to Laurie Daley's emotional post-match interview, Isaah Yeo being labelled the best captain Laurie has ever coached, and what made the NSW Blues so dominant throughout the series. We then turn our attention to the NRL transfer market, with reports that Jarome Luai has been given permission to leave the Wests Tigers, and the Parramatta Eels emerging as the favourites to sign the premiership-winning playmaker. To wrap up the episode, we review our Round 18 and State of Origin betting results before giving our NRL Round 19 tips, best bets, upset picks and value bets to help you get ready for another huge weekend of rugby league.
