The penultimate pre-finals round brings a cracking regular season to an end, and our hosts talk about "rock and diamonds", "mutual agreements," "The Noosa Roosters," The Brady Bunch's Florence Henderson, Bellamy's 600, streakers, Aussie Joe Bugner and much, much more!

We welcome Wests Tigers fanatic and podcaster Kelly Hollis to the show this week while our hosts discuss Harry Grant's acting skills, the contaminated sand of Allianz, Brandon Smith vs the Gold Coast Airport, the forlorn figure of DCE, Flanno's knowledge of the rules and what on earth happened to Bon Jovi. Thanks for listening and thanks to Kelly :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week it seems the travails of several NRL venues are all over the news and we wholeheartedly embrace the discussion! From The Gateway to Hell and the hot springs under Allianz to the idea of relocating the Roosters to Mudgee we leave no stone unturned. Denis Carnahan goes back to the 80's with Big Club Theory and we discuss "Spoonbowl" and much, much more. Thanks for listening xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not very often that our hosts get to bask in the rarefied air of the lowly Tigers and Dragons both winning on a weekend - and beating the top 2 teams in the comp, but it seems they'd prefer to concentrate on the true bad boys of Rugby League - the journalists! Have a listen to see what they're on about....as always it's the best alternative look at League going aroundSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's guest is the incredibly talented Denis Carnahan, who you all know from his weekly NRL satire songs that we a the ABC both feature. As a lifelong Raiders fan, he shares his feelings as they move into flag favouritism. We also discuss dictators, sentimental favourites, the Putin-like regime changes at the Dragons, and, as always, much, much more. Thanks for listening :)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is every NRL team trying to find their "soul"? Have "The Big Clubs" found theirs? Is Hefron Park haunted? What of the Roosters Undead? Where will the Wollongong Dragons find theirs? Has Tim Tszuyu had his soul taken? In this Hammer Horror Edition of Fire Up!, our hosts examine the existential underpinnings of the NRL sporting landscape.

Still smarting from the Origin stinker last Wednesday night, our hosts complain about the game, the traffic, queue jumpers, the music - Dear God, the "music" - and furthermore aren't alleviated by their own teams losses on the weekend. They also discuss the Coaching Carousel, Ponga, Foran, Bennett, Seibold, Ming The Merciless and MUCH, MUCH MORE. Thanks for listening. It can only get better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week our hosts discuss the controversial new documentary Agent Of Chaos to find out who is really pulling the strings in the NRL, as well as previewing tomorrow night's deciding State Of Origin. And as always, MUCH, MUCH MORE! Tune in and let us know what you think on the socials. Go Blues!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
