Welcome back to the Group Chat, where a very happy Goran is joining us once again.
So, who here can predict the NRL? Because it has been a season full of surprises and it just doesn’t look like stopping.
The EPL seems to be over with Arsenal drawing against Palace it would seem Liverpool will be lifting their 20th league title.
