NRL Round 11 saw the Bats and Balls Champions the Bulldogs retain the belt in a great game against the Roosters where we saw some great tries.

On this episode of Bats and Balls Podcast, The Producer, Pies & Colbee go through what has happened in the last week of sport. NRL Round 6 saw the Bulldogs have their first loss of the season against the Broncos who blew them off the park. The Tigers had a win in golden point against the Sharks. However, the talking point from the weekend was the Bunker and how they were getting involved in games and the number of head high penalties there were. Magic Round this week for the NRL. AFL and West Coast are really struggling. They are still yet to win a game but I am sure a win is not too far away. GWS have had to losses in a row can they bounce back?
