Summary
Hoffy and Chad dive into the current state of the NRL’s junior pathways, and the challenges the league, merger clubs and the country’s best young players face within them. The boys reflect on their own experiences as juniors prior to reaching the top flight, assess how current clubs fare, and look ahead to ways the NRL can best position expansion clubs Perth and PNG. 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 03:39 Playing for an under-pressure coach 10:37 Anthony Seibold and Kieran Foran 17:41 Craig Bellamy 21:50 Todd Payten 28:06 Shane Flanagan 30:40 Choosing the next coach Recorded on 14/04/2026 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
