Cowbell Clanger???

It's Origin II time and it is apparent that rugby league, racing and the punt have never been more intertwined.Helping us unpack it all is Duncan Fine, a renaissance man whose love for the Bunnies is a matter of great pride (of the league).Who is rugby league's Justin Hemmes before there was ever a Justin Hemmes?And for all those who oppose the Leichhardt refurb, we say 'shoosh'...just like Romey.

As Benji sprays some air freshener around the Zurich Centre, we’re joined by JR who shares all his NRL bugbears (which doesn’t include opinionated fans who aren’t club members). In fact, he ventilates some important matters that will help get rid of any odour of negativity around the game in general. Not sure if it’s enough to get to rid of the current whiff of desperation lingering around the Perth Bears though.

Fire Up! is joined by Venues NSW and Sydney Roosters lawyer, Stephen Gorry, not dressed in a suit. It turns out there are better military ciphers than the landing at Gallipoli as the Dragons and the Storms suffered in manners resembling way more one sided wars.As always, Turbo's hammies and AI Gus feature.And we touch on the Jarome Luai trip to PNG and what it could mean. Well, it means that he can easily continue to afford the customised 'LUAI' number plates as it was confirmed that he's off to PNG in 2028 just after we turned off the mikes.
