Full-Time: we don't show what we are capable of

In this episode Justin informs the listeners of the latest news including Castello Lukeba could be their next big sale, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. The Frenchman is said to be planning a transfer in the summer and wants to make use of the current release clause in his contract which is said to be worth €90m and is active in the summer. Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are the clubs that have been linked to Lukeba in recent months. It didn't go all RB Leipzig's way against Augsburg as they played out a 0-0 draw as RB youngster El Chadaille Bitshiabu missed the departure of the team bus and therefore also the flight, so at the end of the day he couldn't travel to Augsburg something similar happened to a young Yussuf Poulsen at RBL years ago, who missed the final training session in the 3rd division under coach Alexander Zorniger and was subsequently suspended for one game it remains to be seen if the 19yr Frenchman punishment will be as severe for his poor time management.We preview the upcoming Bundesliga fixture against FC Heidenheim with player watch and predictions with a long RBL talk segment with some detailed submissions to go through. In the RBL talk segment there are listener questions from rob3r0 on the RB fans discord, Balham on X, rl9lewyfan and pia_hffmr on Instagram.

Justin Crozer

Tactics. Tradition. Truth.

The Analyst from the Antipodes
Based in Australia, Justin Crozer has spent years bridging the 15,500-kilometre gap between the stands of the Red Bull Arena and the international fan community. As the creator and host of RBL Talk, Justin brings a unique, high-definition perspective to RB Leipzig — combining the cold, hard data of Sofascore tactical breakdowns with the warm, unfiltered pulse of the global fanbase.

More Than a Club, More Than a Franchise
RBL Talk isn't just about xG and verticality. It was born from a genuine love for the fearless, youth-driven football that put Leipzig on the map. But as the modern game evolves toward surveillance culture and sterile atmospheres, Justin has redefined the show's mission. He isn't just here to talk about the win on the weekends; he’s here to be a vocal advocate for the supporters who make the sport possible.

A Community-First Philosophy
Through live-stream watch-alongs, an active Discord home, and the "Player Watch" segment, RBL Talk is built on the belief that football is nothing without its fans. Whether it’s featuring listener opinions via SpeakPipe or diving deep into the club's impact on East German football culture, the show serves as a "safe space" for those who love the team but aren't afraid to demand more from the institution.

Roots and Reason
With family roots stretching back to Germany, Justin understands that football is a marathon of heritage, not just a sprint for trophies. RBL Talk is where data meets DNA — providing the most honest, analytical, and fan-centric coverage of RB Leipzig in the podcasting world.
