Sports & Recreation Podcasts

In the current media coverage of the NRL, everybody seems to be too afraid to call a spade a spade. The ex-players and media personalities hosting these shows are too close to the inner circle to be objective about rugby league and discuss in detail what’s going right and what's going oh so wrong in our game week to week. As for us here at Rippin’ In - well, we aren’t a part of the NRL fraternity. And we don’t want to be. We call it as we see it - no team, player or issue has immunity from this podcast. If a team isn’t performing to expectation, a player is going unsung for his team’s success or the very game itself is broken - we’ll be covering it. We record and post a new episode weekly, covering the previous round's results, the upcoming round and discuss the biggest issues affecting rugby league. If you’re looking for a no holds barred, in-depth analysis of the NRL and rugby league in general, with extensive coverage of every single team in each weekly episode - the Rippin’ In podcast is for you!

RD 19 REVIEWS + RD 20 PREVIEWS | A round of saucy match ups

7/29/2021
There were (almost) some major upsets in Round 19, but ultimately the Cowboys and Broncos fell short, while the Storm and Panthers roll on at the pinnacle of the league. The Raiders managed to hold on against the Eels in one of the best matches this season. Defence was the showpiece of the evening, producing the first 0-0 halftime scoreline in almost 3 seasons, while some controversial calls both helped and hindered the Eels in the match. In Round 20, we've finally got the match we've all...

ORIGIN GAME III REVIEW | RD 18 REVIEWS | RD 19 PREVIEWS | Broncos robbed?

7/20/2021
WERE THE BRONCOS ROBBED? OR WAS IT JUST DESSERTS FOR AN ABYSMAL SECOND HALF SHOWING 🤔 First of all, the good news. We had another week of minimal shellackings. That is always a good time. The even better news - the Raiders managed to string together back to back wins off the back of 21 offloads and 270m+ from star rookie Xavier Savage. In this episode, we review the QLD MAROONS victory from Wednesday night, where against all odds they managed to deny the Blues a clean sweep. Then, we...

RD 17 REVIEWS | RD 18 PREVIEWS | ORIGIN GAME III PREVIEW

7/13/2021
Round 17 turned in some surprise contests! Of course it would, right after we spent 40 minutes blasting the NRL gamemakers for the trite it had become and the weekly blowouts 🤷‍♂️ In this episode, we review some of those close contests, including the Bulldogs v Roosters and Sharks v Warriors, as well as the upset victory by the mighty Green Machine! Then, we turn our attention to Round 18 AND Game III of the State of Origin Series. Can the Maroons avoid a clean sweep? Only one of us keeps...

RD 16 REVIEWS + ORIGIN GAME 3 PREVIEW | Are we really still talking about this?

7/7/2021
Are we really still talking about these blow outs? Sadly, yes. If you're anything like us, you've always lived and breathed footy. Until recently, you might have even watched every single game, even those you didn't have a particular stake in - just for the pure spectacle of speed, aggression and skill. But the way things have gone this year - it's almost become a farce. We've found it harder and harder to get excited for the games, with so many of the results seemingly written in stone even...

ORIGIN GAME 2 REVIEW + RD 16 PREVIEWS | How will the Panthers fare without Cleary?

6/30/2021
LET THE AUTOPSY BEGIN 🧟 The Origin Series has been wrapped up by NSW, absolutely dominating QLD across the park for almost 2 entire games of footy. So what went so wrong for QLD? Or is the NSW team simply THAT good? We analyse Game 2, the Series so far and the upcoming dead rubber aka Game 3 in this episode. We also preview Round 16, after what has seemed like an age without NRL footy (it was only 12 days but a lot of shit did go down in that time am I right?) ORIGIN GAME 1...

ORIGIN GAME 2 PREVIEW | PART 2

6/26/2021
THE DRAMA OF GAME 2 IS RAMPING UP 📈 Even since we recorded this episode late Saturday, some serious drama has been unfolding inside the QLD Maroons camp. Reece Walsh has been ruled out with injury 😭 Ronaldo Mulitalo has been named to make his debut on the wing 😮 Ronaldo Mulitalo has been ruled out due to ineligibility 😡 Xavier Coates has been rushed back into the team 😬 Can the Maroons overcome all this to nab a win against all odds at Suncorp? It's only hours until we find...

RD 15 REVIEWS + BRONCOS CLEANOUT + ORIGIN GAME 2 PREVIEW PART 1

6/21/2021
THE CAMEL'S BACK HAS BEEN WELL AND TRULY BROKEN In a whirlwind week in the NRL media, the Broncos are cleaning house. It began before a ball was even kicked in Round 15, with the 9 Commentary Team revealing Tevita Pangai Junior had been instructed to start looking around the league for other options, despite another 1-2 years remaining on his contract. Now they've followed suit with the sackings of Performance & Recruitment Personnel, and the signing of big name execs like Ben Ikin. We've...

ROUND 15 PREVIEWS

6/16/2021
TIME FOR ANOTHER EPISODE LADIES & GENTLEMEN. IN THIS INSTALMENT, WE'VE GOT SOME ROUND 15 PREVIEWS FOR YA It wasn't long ago we were marvelling at what seemed to be an unbeatable team in the Penrith Panthers, but thanks to the decimation of their team through ORIGIN, they've lost two on the trot and Storm and Sea Eagles are rising fast as threats for premiership tilt. Will the Pennies bounce back this week facing off against the Chooks? Can the Raiders follow up their first decent...

ORIGIN GAME 1 RECAP + ROUND 14 REVIEWS | The Bulldogs Rise!

6/14/2021
Origin Game 1 has come and gone - with the severe depression or exhilaration that followed depending on where your allegiances lay 🤠 😭 And not only did we get an Origin match this week, but we were back to our regularly scheduled 8 games of NRL footy - so with 9 games of footy to sink your teeth into in this episode, how good is livin'! The Sharks and Bulldogs pulled off upset victories, while the Roosters clawed back a win to deny the Titans the all time biggest comeback victory. If...

BELATED ORIGIN GAME 1 PREVIEW + RD 13 REVIEWS + RD 14 PREVIEWS

6/9/2021
THE FOOTY GODS HATE THIS PODCAST! 👎 We had another big episode planned for you guys, including a half hour Origin Game 1 Preview to be released on Tuesday - but between the global Fastly outage and Spencer's 2012 Macbook Air finally saying night night, it just wasn't to be. But now we ARE able to get it uploaded, so even though it's late, this way you'll get to hear just how wrong we were, including how much we thought the Maroons were going to shock the NSW Blues, as they simply "don't...

WE'RE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE BABY! Technical difficulties prevented us from releasing a Round 12 Previews, and it was an episode that had a lot to offer, from responding live to tweets on The George Williams Saga and a bant or two thrown to boot. But for you loyal listeners out there, we've come back with a special treat this week in the form of a MEGAEPISODE! We once again go over the unfolding dramas between George Williams and the Canberra Raiders, we go in-depth on each of the QLD and...

Round 11 Previews + we pick our NSW Blues team for SOO Game 1

5/19/2021
It's PREVIEWS time once again @ RIPPIN' IN | NRL Unfiltered Podcast. Tragic Round is now behind us, and hopefully the players have well and truly received the message and we see less sin bins and send offs impacting the results this week. In this episode, we not only preview each game of the round, including an absolutely BLOCKBUSTER Sunday afternoon of footy - but we also name our 18 man squad for the NSW Blues in Game 1. You can also check out last week's episode to hear our QLD Maroons...

Round 10 Reviews | We discuss the new head contact protocol unleashed on Magic Round

5/18/2021
Well, well, well - Round 10 of the 2021 season is in the books 📕 Was it a good round of footy? No. Was it a good advertisement for rugby league to the world, let alone for a second Brisbane team? Also no. But is there plenty to discuss? Is there ever! In this episode, we spend 30 minutes giving our take on the 14+ sin bins and send offs during Magic Round. The NRL has shown they were more than serious about protecting the players and cracking down on offenders to the contrary - but is...

Round 10 Previews | A Not So Magic Round

5/12/2021
We're back with our first PREVIEWS episode in a couple of weeks (oops). In this episode, we discuss the Magic Round, and in particular, some of the questionable match ups that have been scheduled for this round. Not quite the best advertisement for rugby league, especially in an area they're look to grow into with another NRL team! With no Thursday Night Footy this week, what better way to tide yourself over until the first match of the round than to listen to this episode of RIPPIN' IN....

ROUND 9 REVIEWS | We pick our QLD MAROONS STATE OF ORIGIN team

5/10/2021
9 ROUNDS DOWN. 16 MORE TO GO 😲 In this Round 9 Reviews episode, we discuss the narrowing top tier of teams - which was five teams and is now just THREE in our opinion. Alex goes on yet another Raiders Rant, offering a surefire strategy for Raiders fans to manage the five stages of grief in this trying time. Spencer is equally unhappy with the yoyo form of his beloved Broncos, and we both agree on some missteps made by the Warriors and the defensive issues at the Titans. In this episode,...

ROUND 8? Oh you better believe that's a paddlin' (for some teams anyway).
