Summary
With the first game of State of Origin around the corner, Hoffy and Chad dive into the good, bad and ugly of Origin, from the timing of the matches to its media coverage. Hoffy opens up on his experiences playing for New South Wales, and Chad lifts the lid on missing out on a Blues jersey. Plus, the future for Origin in New Zealand, and the tactics that would arise from clubland. Hosted by NRL premiership players Ryan Hoffman and Chad Townsend, The Boardroom NRL Podcast takes a wide lens look at the state of rugby league, delivering big picture, no nonsense views on the NRL. ⬇️ THE AGENDA: 00:00 Welcome to the Boardroom 01:34 Changes in Origin Eligibility 08:01 State of Origin New Zealand 12:14 Origin Affecting Club Land 17:39 Effect on Assistant Coaches 19:53 Player Mentality during Origin 24:58 State of Origin tactics 29:04 Why Origin doesn't work in the AFL 32:29 What the media covers Recorded on 12/05/2026 FOLLOW Zero Tackle on social media: NEWS: http://www.zerotackle.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/zerotackle TW: https://twitter.com/zerotackle IG: https://www.instagram.com/zerotackle/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@zerotackle
