CODE NRL

Author: Code Sports Language: English Episodes: 100
For anyone who follows the National Rugby League, the chatter around the game is constant-rumors fly, hot takes dominate headlines, and finding clear insight can feel impossible. That’s where CODE NRL comes in. Hosted by veteran journalists Mick Carayannis, Dave Riccio, and Brent Read, this podcast operates with a distinct advantage: these aren’t just commentators, but newsbreakers embedded in the heart of the sport. Their daily coverage for CODE Sports and The Daily Telegraph means they’re often the source of the stories everyone else is scrambling to report. Tuning into this podcast means getting ahead of the news cycle, not just reacting to it. You’ll hear the raw, unfiltered discussions that happen behind the scenes, where genuine debate about team selections, coaching dramas, and on-field controversies gets hashed out with a depth only possible from those who live it. It’s analysis without the filter, where insider knowledge separates fact from speculation. The conversations are direct, often heated, and always focused on cutting through the peripheral noise to deliver a clearer picture of the league. If your interest in the NRL goes beyond the scoreboard and into the strategies, personalities, and power moves that shape the competition, this is the essential listen. Each episode builds on the last, creating a continuous, authoritative narrative of the NRL season as it unfolds.
