ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
The NRL season is done, and Scotty and Eggo wrap a grand final for the ages, the Roosters crowned champions, the 50-point hoodoo finally broken, and a Knights side that went down swinging. Then it's straight into what's next: the Rugby League World Cup days away and a big summer of cricket heating up.
The boys relive the decider, Mark Nawaqanitawase as a Greek god, the wild field-dominance stats, Trent Robinson's three-from-three masterclass, and James Tedesco's Clive Churchill. Then the Kangaroos squad drops with some questionable calls, Kevvie's mind games on the Tongan selections, and the World Cup opener against a frighteningly deep New Zealand side. Plus the things they won't miss about NRL 2026 and Cricket Corner, with the South Africa tour, Marnus Labuschagne's long-awaited hundred and whether you can trust it.
