The NRLW is back — and so are the Thoroughbreds. In our first official NRLW Review podcast of 2025, Britto and Jack fire up the mics for a live recall of the Round 1 win over the Wests Tigers and a preview of the Round 2 clash against the Gold Coast Titans.

The girls kicked off the season with a dominant second-half performance, running out 28–4 winners after grinding through a tight first 40 minutes.
Upton, Brill, Lenarduzzi — the big names stood up, and the forward pack laid the platform.
We dive deep into the stats, match moments, positional changes, and future selection headaches.
⚔️ Plus: a look ahead to a dangerous Titans side stacked with talent, key player matchups, and a genuine test on the Gold Coast.
And of course, plenty of banter, betting regrets, shoutouts to our favourites, and an ongoing campaign for NRLW SuperCoach.

Whether you're here for the insight or the chaos — this one is in true Penalty Broncos style.

Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

The Bulldogs came out barking — but the Broncos bit back harder.

In this episode, the Thoroughbreds dive into the emotional and on-field highs and lows of Brisbane’s comeback win over the Bulldogs. From a flat first half to a fired-up second, the boys reflect on a gritty performance, key plays, and the steady influence of Billy Walters through the middle.

There’s a heartfelt moment as the crew acknowledges the loss of Cameron Munster’s father and the impact it has had on the footy community. Then it’s straight into the game review — the stats, the shifts, the refereeing calls, and the defensive grit that turned the match around.

We also look ahead to Origin, injury concerns, and how this Broncos side is evolving with resilience and raw belief. Add in some quality banter, fan shoutouts, and community vibes — and it’s another week in the life of a Broncos tragic.
