St. Patrick's Day brings out the best stories. In Episode 2 the Rat Pack dives into the history of USA v Ireland — the games at RFK Stadium live on ESPN, the referee with a microphone calling commercial breaks mid-tackle, and a fight that Preston swears he's not proud of. The boys break down NRL Round 2, talk Super League Challenge Cup, reveal that York Knights are looking to return to America, and pay tribute to John Morgan — the man who started it all.

Episode 1. No studio. No producer. Just a few rugby league lifers with stories the game never got to hear.

The Rugby League Rat Pack — former AMNRL players who toured internationally and helped build the sport in America from scratch — sit down for the first time to talk about what they built, where the game is now, and where it needs to go.

In this episode: the crew comes straight off Scrum Vegas 3, reflects on what it felt like to watch NRL teams pack out Allegiant Stadium knowing they helped lay the foundation, and has a frank conversation about the NRL's US strategy — the right city, the wrong kickoff times, and why American fans couldn't find the game on TV.

Real talk from the men who washed dishes, lined fields, and spread the gospel of rugby league in America decades before Las Vegas was even a conversation.
