NRL OFFSIDE: Standing Inside the 10 with JC and Noz
Two Mates. One Great Game. Come and talk all things NRL...and stand Offside with JC and Noz
Episode 11: Recovery
Noz reaches out as only a true friend can to stop JC's descent into Red, White and Blue madness, in the process banning a certain "R" word.
Speed Round accentuates the positive while contemplating how a Golden Point game can end in a shower. Our collective eyes are drawn to the outskirts of the field and the boys anticipate a magical weekend (or two).
The Round Preview goes on its usual rollercoaster ride with Noz throwing out a few smokies (to aid in JC's recovery of course) and we end on...
Episode 10: Prayer and A**
JC and Noz celebrate the milestone of 10 episodes in the most fitting of ways: by playing a rather lopsided game of True-or-False.
JC dazzles with his new-found technological/design nous while Sir Mixalot and religious trinkets make a somewhat improbable appearance.
The Grapple takes a (slightly late) detour to Port Moresby, the boys try and redeem their terrible tipping and JC brings it all home with a walk down memory lane, taking literal half measures.
Oh, yes and stick around for our new segment right at the...
Episode 9: Reality Bites
JC and Noz contemplate the Cowboy-shaped iceberg off the coast of Townsville while lamenting the absence of any tangible form of tackling over the Anzac Day Round.
JC struggles to get his head around the concept of Hot Takes while Noz puts Jason Saab's magnificent "bomb" header into the historical record so future generations can marvel at Jason's civilization-changing feat.
The boys make a detour to "Cocktails and Dreams" on the Goldie and Noz brings it all home with a recounting of some of the all-time dud player signings.
<...
Episode 8: The Green Mile
JC and Noz try and get their heads around the topsy-turvy results while watching Flanno take his final steps on the Green Mile.
Noz revels in an unexpected victory for his beloved Eels...and speaking of unexpected the pod sees a visit from Frankie Five Angels (and his brother). Not sure where we can go from there but JC does his best by trying to tackle, um, a tackle?
There is the usual round of mediocre tipping and JC Free Balls his way into the Sin Bin (accompanied by our schmicko...
Episode 7: The Plot Thickens
JC and Noz offer an apology (of sorts) to Canterbury fans while reflecting on a straight-up Dogs-of-War bash-up last Thursday Night at Homebush.
They also fix their gaze towards Perth and Port Moresby while Noz dons the Aztec Gold and takes a trip down Memory Lane on the Crusher Express.
And their tips for the week: is anyone interested in those? Well for the people who are, we have another bumper week of selections where JC may or may not lose the plot and Noz presents possible scenarios for a Blue-and-Gold...
Episode 6: Bumper
JC and Noz contemplate the terrifying reality of this year's Penrith Panthers...and Italy's World Cup Qualification debacle (with a mild admonishment to Method Man). Meanwhile Speed Round gets yet another recalibration (*Yawn*).
The Grapple tackles a somber but important subject while the boys take (another) leap into the unknown with their picks for this week's games.
JC takes us back to the 80s with a Free Ballin' segment that is right in Noz's wheelhouse.
Episode 5: 7 Days
JC and Noz gather themselves after the merry mayhem of the last 7 days while contemplating plagues of frogs and coaching skullduggery.
A certain Tiger catches their eye and the boys go through their usual round of inept tipping. Meanwhile Noz serves himself a garbled breach notice by taking a trip through our game's colorful history.
Episode 4: The Long Blink
JC and Noz lament the passing of the late, great Chuck Norris while reminiscing over Home Pics Video Rental Store (and Parramatta Premierships).
Speed Round is again in the vicinity of being an actual Speed Round and Noz takes aim at the whining Broncos. JC then takes us on a trip down memory lane with classic Jersey Sponsors (oh, and there is a bit of tipping but on current form you may be best advised to take that with the same amount of credulity as "Delta Force').
Also, keep an eye...
Episode 3: Can I Get A Witness
JC and Noz pay tribute to Alex Johnston, the man of the Moment but not before they contemplate the lackadaisical nature of last week's Speed Round...and reveal their catchy new Speed Round Jingle!
The boys then wrestle with State of Origin eligibility, preview the upcoming round and Noah takes a trip/tangent to Lidcombe Oval and the growing size of our species.
Alex Party! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzqwhq5NKEo
Kenny and Dolly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQW7I62TNOw&list=RDHQW7I62TNOw...
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
Noz contemplates the tragedy of his team bowing out of premiership contention in the first 60 minutes of the season while JC puts on those role coloured glasses to evaluate the Chooks after they were roasted in Auckland. The boys also grapple with Vegas Round and Johnny puts his neck on the line with his Top 8 predictions.
