Franko and Boldo are joined by Adrian Manca from the Down the Sideline podcast for a big Tuesday night edition of the ET Stand.
Adrian drops in as our resident Blues superfan to preview the State of Origin 3 decider, with the crew looking at NSW’s chances, Queensland’s edge, the coaching battle, the halves debate, Blayke Brailey’s role, AFB, Briton Nikora and what the game means for the Sharks players involved.
The show also breaks down the NRL’s historic $5.3 billion broadcast deal, including what the money means for the game, how much the NRL might keep for long-term security, the Foxtel/Nine/Sky NZ agreement, DAZN’s international opportunity and whether the Sharks could see any real benefit from the new rights structure.
Then it’s into the Sharks v Dolphins preview, with Cronulla heading to Brisbane looking to answer the Round 3 loss at Shark Park. The panel looks at the short history between the clubs, the 3-1 head-to-head in favour of the Dolphins, the key Origin selection impact, the importance of Katoa being out for the Dolphins, and why this is a big top-four type game for both teams.
Plus, the Bally-M leaderboard gets an update after the Broncos win, Billy Burns shoots up the rankings, Trindall closes the gap on Kennedy, and Boldo unveils his latest World Cup edition of the Sharks Player Tiers.
A huge episode covering Origin, broadcast money, Sharks v Dolphins, NRLW, fan comments and plenty of classic ET Stand dribble.
