Show notes
Round 10 in the NRL kicked off with Redcliffe pummelling the broken Bulldogs and there's plenty more intriguing footy to follow, headlined by some eye-catching matchups on Saturday which we preview.
It's Round 13 in Super Rugby Pacific too, as the end of the regular season draws closer to an end. The Drua have a timely bye as they make their push for Playoffs after strong recent form.
A comment made by Rugby Australia's Dan Herbert about France poaching talent caught Sam's attention this week and a social media clip he posted caught fire. So he unpacks all that.
And another Friday show, another round of Lock and Smoke tipping!
