In this special edition of The Bye Round, we dive deep into the NRL 10-Year Ladder (2015–2025) to uncover which club has truly been the benchmark, both on and off the field. James Graham is joined Michael Chammas & Charlie White to dissect every team’s decade-long journey: the highs, the heartbreaks, the rebuilds and the boardroom chaos. From dynasties built to clubs in constant crisis, we ask the big question, which NRL club is actually being run the best? It's a decade of drama packed into one brutally honest episode.

In today's episode of The Bye Round, James Graham sits down with one of rugby league’s most controversial figures, John Elias. Once a rising star in the game, Elias lived a double life that saw him walk the line between footy fame and the criminal underworld. Elias opens up like never before about his turbulent journey; from the highs of his playing days, the temptations that led him astray, and the consequences of living a life fuelled by secrecy and risk. Raw, honest, and at times confronting, strap in for a conversation that pulls no punches.
