The win over the Titans, the continued good form of Ben Barba and Andrew Fifita, plus the game against Canberra on Sunday were just some of the topics which made news over the past week.
The potentially tragic accident involving young Rocco Heighington following Sunday’s game against the Titans and coach Shane Flanagan’s questioning of the personnel manning the NRL bunker, were other issues which received a share of the media coverage.
Again Rob and Liam got together to talk about what they’ve been saying, what they’ve been writing in the media this week.
