With State OF Origin (Men's) just around the corner and State OF Origin (Women's) a torrential success story this week, it somehow still feels like its' A Glittering New Year in Bat Country. Everything is topsy turvy, but somehow it all still fells the same. Is the levee gonna break?

While it was a great weekend for hookers,  it appears there is a DEARTH of fullbacks for SOO. Wingers are outmarking AFL players and pulling out unbelievable, magical tries.

There were brawls at Campbelltown, tears in Brisbane and Toxic Town was jumping.

What a week in Rugby League. 

Tune in to hear the full discussion!

A Hard Rains-A-Gonna Fall

It's not even halfway  through Round 1 in the NRL and the blaming has begun.Vegas united Ming The Merciless and Flanno in misery as they failed to get the (gulp) 'rub of the green'.Redfern Pat is on board to peel back all that went down on the Glitter Strip (including Joe Burgess?) and to bid adieu to Buzz in fine style.And we realise that PVL & Buzz are still on opposite sides of our game. In this case, it's a matter of diet.

The Blame Game

The boys return for the 2026 season and find themselves in the thick of it as they plausibly podcast from the Glitter Strip in Las Vegas.They cover off the pre-season with its usual diet of aggressive monkeys, porn addiction and mayonnaise and look at the Nevada match ups.And Stephen has a big announcement! Fire Up! Coming at you from the MGM Grand.... or is Excalibur?!?

The Boys Are Back In Town

For the final show of the year we wrap up deluxe the NRL Grand Finals, both men's and women's, starting and finishing with a deep dive inside the enigmatic Reece Martin's head, driving by the big brawl in the NRLW Final, Teddy Swims v Snoop, the Telstra wristband, a slight digression through the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Spinal Tap 2, Madge and Bellyache, and, as always, much, much more.

Including a magnificent ode to Craig Bellamy from Denis Carnahan.

Thanks to all for listening this year, and a big thanks to our Producer and Editor Mash Ferris & The Personal Best Studios for helping us get this nonsense on the air every week. See yas in 2026!
