Smear Campaign!

On a bizarro weekend where JD Vance probably finished off the Pope, the Stawell Gift forgot to include the 2 fastest runners in the country in the main race and Lachie Galvin had an armed guard at The Zurich Centre, we had some incredible - dare we say "biblical" - games of football, replete with multiple tales of redemption, resurrection, a bevy of Moses's (Mosi?) and paths to the Promised Land.

In a week where Rugby League just keeps on giving, our hosts discuss the 2 major controversies of the week, namely the polite conversation between mates where Spencer  Leniu and Johnathon Thurston exchanged pleasantries, and GalvinGate, whereby the 19 year old Tigers Wunderkind has politely declined the Tiges new contract offer.  All good stuff. Tune in for the whole shebang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our hosts Stephen Ferris & Kris Gale dissect a week of barbaric ballet, total carnage on all fronts, from "Liberation Day" to the finale of White Lotus, from gunslingers at the MCG to all-in brawls at Allianz, from Dutton kicking an AFL ball through a photographer’s head to Abdo cracking down on the entire NRL code. That's right, CARNAGE across all the codes! Tune in for this and much much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our hosts this week dive deeper into the DCE "Smear Campaign" claims and ultimately find Smear Campaigns are everywhere, an inescapable part of every club. Or are they? They also look into the extreme abundance of NRL Media shows all clamouring for attention, and Stephen vents yet again about his usual bugbears regarding St. George and the Illawarra.... Plus, as always, much much more....thanks for tuning in and if you get a minute please leave us a review or comment.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a couple of Rounds of footy the winners and losers are starting to identify themselves and while our hosts identify the leading contenders at both ends of the ladder they also discuss important issues like the cost and quality of Pies, the Bulldogs' Mobile Disco, Billy Knowles' hamstring factory and just WHO is the smartest man (or woman) in Rugby League? Tune in HARD for the full range of insights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our hosts discuss the virtues or otherwise of Allianz Stadium, whether Yochi culture has taken the next generation of halfbacks, and the great pie-throwing atrocity at the  Dragons/Bulldogs game. And that's just for starters...tune in to hear the full gamut of irrelevant yet spirited discussion. If you manage to sit through the whole episode, please leave a review or tell your firiends or family to give us a listen.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back for our first episode in 2025 as the NRL season commences in Vegas and this week's games are dodging a cyclone. As always we're swinging pendulum-like between hope and hate, yes the song does indeed remain the same. Giddy up, Game On, let's get it on!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
