Program: InZane Rugby League: Will a wildcard round stop the resting?

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

On InZane Rugby League this week Zane Bojack and former Raiders halfback Sam Williams debate the prospect of a wildcard round as a way of stopping the top teams from resting their stars prior to the finals. 

They discuss whether the current system not only compromises the NRL but the lower tier competitions as players are forced to move up a grade. 

Zane and Sam also run through the candidates for the Newcastle Knights head coaching position and the Intellectual property furore involving the Gold Coast Titans and Perth Bears. 

The pair also debate whether Harry Grant should have been made ineligible for the hooker of the year award and predict who will win the NRL top try-scorer trophy.
