Five rugby players. Years of high-level experience. Endless passion for the game.

Niuy, Bobo, Vassy, Duck Arse, and Sergeant Slaughter are back — bringing laughs, stories, and expert takes on all things rugby league with zero filters.

This week, the Rat Pack is joined by Greg Stelluti (former USA Tomahawks star, AMNRL pioneer, and Founder of Next Phase Rugby) and Chris Martin (USARL Board Member & RLU Founder) — two key figures in the growth of rugby league in the United States.

They share their memories from the teams they played for and the games they were part of, giving us a unique insider perspective on the early days of rugby league in the USA.

We break down the NRL weekend and hand out Captain America’s MVP award for the performance that stole the show.

Then it’s over to Bobo’s Game Breakdown, where the details matter and the game gets dissected the way only players can.

We also wrap up the Super League, where Vassy shares vivid stories from his trip abroad, giving us a front-row look at the live rugby action, plus the biggest results, plays, and storylines you need to know.

🎧 If you love rugby, banter, and real insight from players and pioneers who’ve lived it, this is your new weekly go-to. Insight, laughs, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
