This week Lachie looks back on four huge episodes with Corey Jensen, Jonah Pezet, James Maloney and Daniel Mortimer to unpack what really goes into an NRL pre-season from brutal army-style camps and fitness tests to the mindset, leadership and wild stories that come with it.

They dive into the unseen side of rugby league, what separates the good from the elite, and the moments that shape careers before Round 1 even kicks off.

This week, Lachie is joined by comedian Aaron Gocs, and it’s a cracker. We dive into the viral moment that sent the internet into meltdown the infamous ashes distraction that rattled Steve Smith, how it all unfolded, and what happened behind the scenes after it blew up. Aaron opens up about growing up as the funny kid, his early days figuring out comedy, and what finally made him go all-in on stand-up. We also get into dealing with hecklers, bombing vs killing on stage, and a passionate debate on the greatest jokes of all time. Plenty of laughs, some wild stories, and of course quickfire questions to wrap it all up.

In This Episode, Lachie sits down with NSW Swifts player Sharni Lambden for an honest chat about her unconventional journey to the top. Sharni opens up about signing her first professional contract at 27, the moments she nearly walked away from netball, and how her parents convinced her not to give up. She also takes us inside the phone call from the NSW Swifts that changed everything, reflects on the grind it took to get there, and what it means to finally live out the dream. Plus, Lachie throws out a brand-new netball rule and puts it to Sharni for verdict. A great mix of laughs, perspective, and inspiration.

This week on the pod, Lachie is joined by Olympian Emma Nedov, who proves it’s never too late to chase the dream. Emma opens up about making her Olympic debut at 28, the honest conversation with a close friend that reignited her Olympic ambition, and the grind it took to get there. We go inside the Olympic Village what it’s actually like living alongside the world’s best athletes, the infamous cardboard beds, and the weirdest/funniest parts of the Olympic experience. We also throw Emma into a fun Olympic-themed game and finish strong with some quickfire questions you don’t want to miss.

Funny, honest, and seriously inspiring! This One Is Elite

This week on the podcast, Lachie is joined by Wests Tigers legend Chris Lawrence for an entertaining chat packed with great stories from his rugby league career.

We have a laugh about his surprise NRL debut at just 17, how quickly everything happened, and what it was really like being thrown into first grade as a teenager. Chris opens up about the brutal facial fracture that was compared to a car crash, how crazy that period was, and what it took to get back on the field.

We also get into what it was like playing alongside a prime Benji Marshall, plenty of behind-the-scenes Tigers moments, some quickfire questions, and a stack of laughs along the way. A great mix of humour, honesty and big footy stories and much more.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by former NRL player Daniel Mortimer for a funny and enjoyable chat full of stories from his rugby league journey.

We have a laugh about what it was like living up to the Mortimer name, how he somehow went from missing junior rep teams to playing NRL just a few years later, and the wild ride that was the famous 2009 season. Daniel shares the story of losing to the Dragons one week and then turning around to beat them the very next, plus the biggest spray he ever copped along the way.

We also get into winning a premiership with the Roosters, plenty of behind-the-scenes moments, and a stack of laughs you won’t hear anywhere else. A great mix of humour, honesty and footy stories and much more.

This week, Lachie sits down with Sean Phillip, founder of The Shaka Project, for a powerful and deeply honest conversation around mental health, purpose and perspective. Sean opens up about his own mental health journey, why it’s important to remember that it’s everyone’s first time living, and the simple but vital reminder that you matter. We also dive into how The Shaka Project began, the impact it’s having across communities, and the workshops they run to help start meaningful conversations and create real change. An episode full of perspective, vulnerability and important reminders for anyone navigating life.

This week on the The Remember When Podcast, we’re wrapping up the year with a Best of 2025 episode – and it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

We revisit one of our standout chats of the year with Brisbane Broncos premiership-winning prop Corey Jensen, as he opens up on what truly got the Broncos to the 2025 NRL Grand Final. Corey breaks down the moments, standards and culture that drove the run, before reflecting on the Grand Final itself and just how much that achievement meant to him personally.

From the grind behind the scenes to the emotion of the biggest day on the calendar, this is a powerful look back at a season to remember and one of the defining stories of 2025.

Cheers,

Lachie
