2020 Testimonial Year Players


We tried something new on SLP for 2020. We hope you've enjoyed our mini-series celebrating the careers of the six Super League legends celebrating their testimonial years in this upcoming season.

One-by-one, we give you the rundown on their careers and we have the odd fan view thrown in too for good measure. And, we were lucky enough to get interviews with four of the super six.

If you've missed any of these special SLP Shorts then you can find them all here:
  • Huddersfield Giants winger Jermaine McGillvary, including our exclusive interview with Jermaine - listen HERE
  • Wigan Warriors second row forward Liam Farrell, including our talk with Liam - listen HERE
  • St Helens forward Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, including our chat with Louie - listen HERE
  • Castleford Tigers captain Michael Shenton, featuring a special guest appearance from Cas fan Fatboy Rob - listen HERE
  • Warrington Wolves prop Mike Cooper, including our interview with Mike - listen HERE

Thank you again to everyone that gave up some of their time to help make these shows for your listening pleasure. We hope you've enjoyed them. Please share them with your friends!

Episode 245 - 2020 Preview & Predictions Show


We're back for 2020 with our first full-length show of the year. It's our 2020 Preview & Predictions Show.

We reveal who YOU voted for in every category in our Fan Predictions, from Challenge Cup, through Man of Steel, to Championship, League 1 & Women's Super League.

We then take you on a team-by-team run through the men's Super League, with fan expectations of their own sides for 2020. The longer time spent per team generally means more fan views for that team. You'll also hear our no doubt wildly innacurate guesses on who will finish where and who will do what. Throw in some thoughts on potential first coach sackings and top try scorers and you have a 2 hour SLP season preview!
