In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, editor Martyn Sadler and host Jake Kearnan discuss all the major talking points from a busy weekend of Rugby League. There is also plenty of controversy to discuss, including the ongoing drama at Castleford Tigers and questions surrounding the decision to suspend coach Ryan Carr. Martyn and Jake then examine the latest developments in the ongoing NRL and Super League negotiations, following comments from Peter V’landys that the two competitions are struggling to make the numbers work. They also discuss reports that Betfred could end its role as Super League’s title sponsor, V’landys’ plans for a potential Global Round in 2028, and whether the ambitious concept would be good for Rugby League. Over in the NRL, they discuss Brian To’o’s move to the PNG Chiefs and reports that the NRL is considering introducing a third-place playoff.
