The NRL season kicks off in Las Vegas, and Mansfield Tavern is bringing the action home with a special live NRL talk show featuring Herbie Farnworth and Thomas Flegler.
For just $20 (+bf), footy fans are invited to settle in, watch the NRL action pre and post show, and enjoy an exclusive two-hour live discussion from 1.30pm with two of the game’s biggest personalities as they break down the opening weekend of the season and everything ahead.

Herbie Farnworth
One of the NRL’s most damaging centres, Herbie Farnworth is a key member of the Dolphins and a former Brisbane Broncos standout. Known for his powerful carries, speed and finishing ability, Farnworth has quickly become one of the most exciting backs in the competition.

A hard-nosed forward with State of Origin experience, Thomas Flegler brings aggression, honesty and plenty of insight. Now a leader at the Dolphins, Flegler previously played with the Broncos and was part of Penrith’s 2023 premiership-winning squad.
