NRL Boom Rookies
We are Boom Rookies, ESPN's rugby league podcast hosted by ABC sports writer Nick Campton and ESPN columnist Matt Bungard.
If you're look for something beyond the regular take cycle of the sport, Boom Rookies provides game-by-game analysis and previews, delves into the bigger issues of the sport, and still leaves plenty of time to indulge in some good old-fashioned footy buffoonery. From Monday's weekly recap to Friday's preview show, there's plenty of the kind of footy chat that Dave 'Coal Train' Taylor would be proud of.
So if you're a front rower with a halfback's skills, a battler who never quite made it, or just a keyboard warrior looking for ammunition in your next rugby league debate, look no further - because we've got you covered.
