Episode 39 - Round 10 Preview: There's the Whistle and That's Halftime

Has Round 10 ever held more significance?


In 2020 Round 10 is the halfway mark of the NRL season. By the
end we will have a fair (I'd say 50%) chance to evaluate all 16
teams and their finals chances. 


To kick things off we have 'Grand Final Rematch Thursday' with
the injury riddled Raiders battling the also injury riddled
Roosters. Some 16 players could be missing from the Grand Finals
squads of last year, let's just hope for a high quality,
controversial free 80 minutes at the world famous SCG! 


Friday night sees the Melbourne Storm play their first 'home'
game on the Sunshine Coast where they welcome the Titans while
the Tigers battle the Broncos at Leichardt. 


Saturday brings us an interesting battle between the 5th placed
Rabbitohs and 6th placed Knights. The Rabbits are set to unleash
a man mountain (192cm & 101kg) on the wing in Jaxson Paulo
for his debut. The Knights meanwhile welcome back Mitch Barnett,
Sione Mata'utia and Connor Watson from injury. Two old foes go at
it in prime time with the high flying Eels travelling to Brooky
to face a seemingly lost Manly team. 


Sunday has not 1 but 2 afternoon games to round out the weekend.
Warriors vs Broncos at 2pm followed by Penrith vs. Cowboys at
4.05pm. How good is that?! 


And no we haven't forgotten you Bulldogs and Dragons fans but
with all of the drama at the Kennel we wanted to make it clear
there is still a game to be played. 3pm SATURDAY at WIN stadium.
Hopefully after a coaching change the stadium name may rub off on
the Doggies. 


To all listeners South of the border, please listen and follow
the protocols, stay safe and enjoy the weekend of NRL action!
