In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan discuss all the major talking points from another action-packed weekend of Super League.
The pair react to Leeds Rhinos’ dominant victory over Hull KR, assess Warrington Wolves’ narrow win over Catalans Dragons, and the York Knights bouncing back with an impressive victory over Castleford Tigers.
Looking ahead, Martyn and Jake preview this weekend’s Magic Weekend, picking out the biggest match-ups and debating which fixture is likely to produce the closest contest.
The episode also covers Tevita Pangai Junior’s six-match suspension for his eye-gouge on Jake Connor, with the pair discussing whether the talented forward is ultimately worth the disciplinary risk.
Off the field, they react to reports that the RFL is set to appoint former Manchester United Senior Executive Ian Nolan as its next CEO, while also discussing speculation that Wakefield Trinity made an approach for St Helens youngster Harry Robertson.
To round off the episode, Martyn and Jake examine reports surrounding York’s financial position and discuss what the NRL’s record-breaking $5.3 billion broadcast deal could mean for the future of Super League and the sport as a whole.
