Freddy’s in the hot seat this week, filling in for Gus and joining Mat Thompson to preview the Origin decider and share his thoughts on the Australian coaching job. He also unpacks the Panthers’ dynasty chances, a possible rookie of the year bolter in Isaiah Iongi, and why Selwyn Cobbo needs a cuddle, not a rocket.

Freddy opens up about nearly signing with the Eels, playing through appendicitis, and what it was like on tour in England during the World Cup. There’s chat about the Sharks’ halves, Manly’s backline reshuffle with Tommy Turbo, and a bold rule change Freddy would introduce next season.

Plus, his proudest Origin debut moment, toughest opponents, and the rivalries that still give him chills.
