About this episode

The episode features discussions on a significant NRL moment, insights from players, and a debate on the best athletes across sports.

This week on Sportscafe, the crew breaks down one of the great moments in recent NRL history - Alex Johnson's record-breaking try for the Roosters against the Souths, and the 20,000 fans who decided the rules didn't apply to them. Connor Watson was on the field that night, on the wrong side of it... He gives us his perspective. Broncos legend Gordon Tallis joins the show, and if you've ever yelled at your TV watching him on Fox Sports, turns out he's actually a good bloke. Lachlan Carter from Those Carter Boys drops in fresh off the back of back-to-back Lions premierships, a Winter Olympics, and a stepsister with a few Olympic gold medals to her name. He talks about how it all started, retiring from swimming and filming a TikTok on the same day. Plus: Connor Watson gets a custom Roosters jersey made for Theo Walcott and does a crossbar challenge in runners. The great debate - NRL vs AFL vs Rugby Union, who has the best athletes?
