The Kangaroos have claimed The Ashes and now brace for a clean-sweep! But Michael Chammas, Danny Weidler & Adam Peacock are back to review the fallout from Game Two! Reece Walsh unfortunately copped homophobic slurs from some of the English fans and Chammas spoke to the fullback after the game. And the number 1 had a cheeky response in true Reece Walsh fashion. The crew discuss potential changes to the Kangaroos squad for Game Three and break down what happened with prankster Matt Jarvis who lined up with the Aussie team for the anthem! Chammas also chatted with Cameron Munster who had an honest reflection about his former Melbourne Storm teammate Ryan Papenhuyzen who last week surprisingly walked away from his contract with the club. The boys reflect on Eliesa Katoa who copped three head knocks and how that whole process was handled as New Zealand made light work of Tonga. Matthew Johns is now minority owner of Gold Coast Titans and Weidler has the latest on how that unfolded. Keaon Koloamatangi is testing the open market and is asking for a lot of money. Could he leave Souths? And why is Danny Weidler a jahesh?! (A donkey in Arabic). Michael Chammas explains!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NRL Daily | Can NRL Fix English Game? Could League Start Their Own Six Nations? & The Huge Tino Dilemma!
Brent Read, David Riccio & Adam Peacock are in studio for another episode of Triple M NRL Daily! The NRL want to buy into the English Super League and have grand plans to fix the game in the northern hemisphere. And after a poor outing in Ashes 1, the problem was there for all to see. Tonga and Samoa put on a great spectacle, albeit the dominant performance from the latter. But did it put the Origin eligibility debate to bed? We also built a team full of every player that is eligible for the Kangaroos and ask, would Australia even struggle if the Pacific Nations continue to grow? We stripped down the international rugby league calendar and build it back up to try grow the game. Could it feature a union type Six Nations? Could we bring in international windows mid-season? And it's almost November 1! Ready & Riccio have major updates on a huge amount of players and clubs. But most notably, the future of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui as Melbourne Storm start to circle!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
