With temperatures climbing and a hot grand final drawing near, our hosts keep their heads cool and debate the big issues facing the game without pride or prejudice, fear or favour.

From "Alex The Grub" - the forthcoming Fire Up! Children's book, to Reece Walsh's mesmerising eyes, from the quantum physics of forward passes to the Chairman "Dictatorships" of Hagipatelis and Lancaster, from Shaun Johnson's happiness to Val and Rowdy's double act, no stone gets left unturned in this week's diagnosis of the soap opera we affectionately know as Rugby League.

It's Round 2, 2026 and already things are falling apart. Anthony Siebold is sleeping fitfully after Manly-Warringah disintegrated in front of the eyes of all at Lottoland. The Knights can't keep their millionaires on the field. The Sydney Roosters can't keep their fans off the field (and their players on bikes) anymore. And the refs can't keep their lips off those damn whistles.
Thanks heavens for Emma Domoney and Alby Talarico who join us to talk about their Vegas immersive experiences and can report that the Glitter Strip is as stitched together as it ever has been.
And please get behind Emma's tilt in the Mothers Day Classic through the below link:https://www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/fundraisers/emmadomoney135358/mothers-day-classic-sydney

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.
