THE Rugby League Talk Podcast that brings you the latest news and views from Super League and beyond for Yorkshire’s clubs – featuring The YP’s rugby league writer, James O’Brien and host Phil Harrison.

On this week’s show, James O’Brien reveals the tough nature of a Brian McDermott press conference as the former Leeds Rhinos’ head coach meets the media – albeit long distance – after being appointed as the man to end England’s long wait for World Cup glory.

We spend time dissecting the drama that has unfolded at Hull FC in recent weeks, with popular head coach John Cartwright being unceremoniously dumped in favour of former England coach and Hull FC player, Steve McNamara – although not until next year.

And we reach roughly a third of the way through the 2026 campaign, we cast an eye over how Yorkshire’s eight Super League clubs are doing and who has grounds for optimism and/or cause for concern.
