    NRL's Injury Carnage, the Finals Race Cranks Up & Cricket's Back for the Summer

    Scotty and Eggo are back for episode 70, celebrating 27 years of friendship, with round 24 done, the finals picture taking shape and a big summer of cricket on the horizon. First though, the boys pay tribute to an old mate, with RIP Jake Pridue. Comment ClubThis is where we play your audio messages and read out your emails, and it's the best part of the show.

On the show this week: Headlines of the Week, with a Thursday night loss ruining the entire weekend, Stephen Crichton's badly timed cuddle of referee Ashley Klein, and NRL 2026 confirmed as the year the hamstring became the most feared opponent in the competition. The pork rope epidemic and the medical strappers cashing in, the disruptor rule mysteriously returning after 21 rounds, and why the Warriors are the most protected team in the game. The 2026 rule strikes again as the Sharks join the list of teams that cannot win the comp, plus Scotty's promise to host a whole show in a Sharks jersey if they prove him wrong. Broncos wooden spoon watch, Jimmy's 3-2-1s, and the pivot to a massive summer of cricket with the Aussies heading to South Africa and poor Jake Weatherald under the pump. Then a big Comment Club with Sluggy, Gilly and a Stig send-off.

Canberra go from minor premiers to missing the eight, and we dig into how rare that really is. The records that tumbled in a wild round, the Broncos' historic collapse in the Battle of Brisbane, and Parramatta almost pulling off the greatest comeback in NRL history.

A ten-minute sin bin for a hair pull, Nico Hynes' 30-from-30 goal-kicking streak, and Wayne Bennett roulette. Jimmy's 3-2-1s and an alarming Max King theory. Plus ClickGate, the Saltburn slip fielder accused of clicking his fingers to con umpires into wickets, a scandal reckoned to be bigger than Sandpapergate, and Scotty's own suspicious junior cricket past.

    NRL Round of Blowouts & Thrillers |World Cup Heating Up | State of Origin Fallout, an NRL Round of Blowouts & Thrillers | State Of Origin Celebration!

    Scotty and Eggo are back for episode 65, and after Scotty legged it down the highway from Manly to make it to the mic, there is a shed load to get through. Headlines of the Week kicks us off Then it is into the split round, with a 66-0 slaughtering of the Dolphins, the Raiders putting 40 on the Bulldogs, a Rabbitohs thriller, golden point at Brookvale, and a ladder so tight there is barely a point between first and ninth. "What Caught My Eye" brings Brooksy Watch and a signed card mission, the momentum tracker rant (and the long-awaited return of the scrotometer), the Knights "actually winning 54-6" if you count everything Dom Young butchered, and another groundsman having a shocker with the 30 metre line. We look back at the State of Origin decider and the tip we gave you that we did not back ourselves, before Jimmy's 3-2-1s, an all-time Jimmy Instagram moment, and a lap around the world: the World Cup quarters heating up with England, Argentina, France and Spain, the dark reality of a Colombian forward in hiding, Conor McGregor's $15 million 65 seconds, and Wembanyama walking away from $50 million. Comment ClubThis is the part of the show where we play back your audio messages and read out your emails, and the listeners went to another level this week. Sluggy's weekly wrap, Gilly's Italian tribute and cricket club offer, Nev, and the long-awaited Talking Sport Report debut of Stig, who comes out swinging.

    Deciding the Decider: The Origin Finale, NRL Round 18 & World Cup Chaos

    Scotty and Eggo are back for episode 64 and it is all about the decider. With the State of Origin series locked up, the boys break down Game 3 at Suncorp, Laurie Daly's last stand, the home-ground hoodoo, and why they reckon you should be unloading the kitty on New South Wales. Headlines of the Week deliver Matt Burton recalled as the greatest 20th man in history, the Tigers booking an early trip to Bali as the Dragons end their premiership hopes, and three cracking headlines for Cody Walker's now-infamous kick on Jack Cogger. Then it is into the Origin decider proper, the Suncorp stats, and a debate over who steps up versus who wilts. Round 18 gets the once-over with the Broncos in freefall and Madge under the pump, before Jimmy's 3-2-1, a ranking of the most frustrating things in sport, and a lap around the world with the World Cup, Australia bowing out and England (sorry, Onglande) somehow flying.

    Scotty and Eggo are back for episode 63 and Queensland are sharpening the knives. We unpack the State of Origin squad announcement and the five players left out, run our Headlines of the Week and ask why Ivan Cleary might fancy a transfer to his old Panthers side. "What Caught My Eye" takes us through Bronson Xerri's move to the Storm, the Broncos setting records for all the wrong reasons as their title defence falls apart, Ivan Cleary's now-legendary 14-word press conference, a Luke Brooks ACL heartbreak, and the bunker doing its usual bunker things. Then it's around the world for the football, with Australia through and Egypt up next. The Great and WORST parts of the WC.
