Cooper and Matty Johns take on the role of coaches in the aftermath of Week 1 of the NRL Finals. Matty, unfortunately, found himself representing all the losing teams after picking second to Cooper in last week’s preview. The post-match press conference format brings plenty of laughs, especially as Cooper revels his successful picks and channels his inner winning coach. Meanwhile, Matty handles the more serious side, diving into what went wrong for the teams he represented. From tactical breakdowns to playful banter, the episode offers a mix of laughs and analysis.

Shoutout to listener Zane for the great suggestion for the boys to stick with their sides all the way through to the press conference. Leave your suggestions in the comments section.
