James Graham and Charlie White are back for another edition of Mid-Week Matters, breaking down the biggest headlines shaking up the NRL. The boys dive into the messy fallout from the Tigers’ decision to release rising star Lachlan Galvin — and where he might land next. We unpack the situation at the Broncos with Michael Maguire, plus, could Sam Burgess and Mal Meninga really lead the Perth Bears into the NRL? And with a relatively quiet buildup we ask the question; Does Origin need more hate?
