It’s the last episode of season 2011! It’s been a long (and for Nate an especially triumphant) year, and we wrap up the Four Nations tournament, the last batch of news, and we ask our listeners for their most memorable 2011 NRL moments!

Much love to all of the listeners who supported the show by buying merchandise (or even those who just contributed/interacted), and to Jabra and Puntclub for their sponsorship. We can’t wait to return bigger and better next season!

This week we talk about selling the Rabbitohs, Tiger joining the Tigers, the latest NRL “tinkler” (no, not Nathan Tinkler) and the NRL firing their first shots in the Western Sydney code war. All that plus the usual banter, recaps and previews for the next round of Four Nations clashes on the 2011 Podcast Awards losing show, This Week in League!

The Jabra Finals Fantasy Football Competition!

Courtesy of our awesome sponsors Jabra we have a great new competition that will run for the duration of the 2011 NRL Finals series!

It’s really simple to enter, just go to http://bit.ly/twilfantasy and sign up for our Finals Supercoach league – we welcome all comers!

Each week of the finals we’ll be giving the top points scorer for that week a BRAND NEW Jabra Sport Bluetooth Stereo Headset – these things are so new you can’t even get them in the shops yet! We will also give another Jabra Sport Bluetooth Stereo Headset away to a random contestant each week, so even if you suck at Supercoach you are still in the running!

What on earth is a Jabra Sport? I’m glad you asked! Here’s the features:

  • Wireless Bluetooth stereo allowing you to listen to music and answer calls during your workout
  • No messy cords or wires to tangle up your workout
  • Free Endomondo Sports Tracker application designed for Jabra which allows you to update status’ on speed, lap time and distance by simply tapping your headset. The app allows you to see your running route via GPS and can verbally read status updates. The thing that’s unique about Endomondo is that when friends comment on your status, the Jabra Sport will read it out to you live as you’re running, cycling or sweating it out on the cross-trainer!
  • Wind-shielded microphone and US Military Standard Rain, Dust and Shock Resistant certified
  • Built-in FM radio, A2DP technology and powerful bass allowing a wide variety of music options

In short, the Jabra Sport is the Benji Marshall of headsets for active people!

Competition Rules

  1. The judges decision is final on all matters regarding this competition and no correspondence will be entered into! There’s no “and then!”.
  2. Each winner is allowed to win ONE Jabra Sport – you’ll still be in line for other prizes that we’re arranging for the overall winner, but if you win a Jabra Sport you become ineligible for further units, and the prize will move to the second-highest scorer that week (or next eligible prize recipient).
  3. Have fun! Don’t be like Chris Walker, be like Fonzie… and what was Fonzie like? Cool. So be cool!
  4. Good luck!

Feel free to hit up Jabra on their Twitter at @Jabra_ANZ and thank them for supporting independent media. We are loving their support and are proud to be partnering up with them for this great competition!

Our host has decided we can’t upload MP3′s anymore, and they won’t be going back to the old way of providing multiple formats of the show. Apparently everyone can use an M4A – if you download the M4A and can’t use it, please let us know as we try and come up with alternatives! We’ll be changing hosts in the offseason and the new one will provide far more features and value for us (as producers) AND you guys (as listeners).
