About this episode

Gus Gould discusses the surprising start to the rugby season, focusing on Api Koroisau's Origin omission and the performance of various teams.

Is this the wildest start to a season ever? The Wests Tigers are equal first, the Melbourne Storm have lost four in a row, and the ladder is completely upside down. In this episode, Gus and Mat break down: Api Koroisau: Despite being one of the premier hookers in the game and a proven winner, Api Koroisau is still waiting for his Origin opportunity. The Storm Slump: Is the Bellamy era facing its toughest test yet? Origin Bolters: Is Jacob Preston the man to replace Liam Martin for NSW? The Points Explosion: Why nearly 50% of games are clearing 50 points this year. Injury Crisis: Does Parramatta’s bad luck prove we need a loan system? Plus, we look ahead to a massive Round 7 where the Tigers go in as favourites against the Broncos, and we announce details for our Six Tackles Live Origin Special at The Locker Room! Don’t forget the Billy Slater Podcast every Monday and Stories of Origin Season 5 coming soon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
