    Cleary Leg Gate! Are the Finals Wide Open? Plus We've Found Marnus's Replacement!

    Scotty and Eggo are back for episode 77 after a big opening week of the NRL finals, and the whole thing just got blown wide open. A heated Comment Club, a bit of cricket and a merch alert to get through too. Comment ClubThis is where we play your audio messages and read out your emails! Send an audio message, email or comment and you're entitled to merch, hats, key rings, pens, the lot. Get involved at talkingsportreport@gmail.com or @talkingsportreport on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. On the show this week: The big one, Nathan Cleary's suspension, and how a week without him drags the Panthers back to the pack and cracks the finals wide open. Who's the smoky now, and are we in for a week of upsets? The Knights rolling on after knocking out a woeful Souths, and the Rabbitohs fans blaming the ref, the bunker and a bloke in row G for everything but their own performance. The all-time Manly fan running his mouth at a finals game his team didn't even make, Dylan Lucas and an ankle that pointed the wrong way somehow lining up to return, another NRL star allegedly busted for cocaine and where he ends up next, and the Dolphins and Warriors flying to New Zealand to make up the numbers. Then Cricket Corner, where the Test squad is picked for South Africa, Marnus Labuschagne's numbers keep sliding, and we reckon we've found his replacement in the most unlikely place.

    Triple M's Steve G on the '97 Knights Fairytale, stories of the Chief, Johns Brothers & Favourite Moments of Knights History

    A special midweek episode. With the Knights back in the NRL finals, Scotty and Eggo sit down with a genuine Newcastle icon, the king of Newcastle radio, Triple M Breakfast's Steve G. If you grew up in Newcastle, you know Steve G, and Scotty admits he was a little star-struck for this one. Steve takes us right back to the glory years: being on air through the Knights' fairytale run, MCing the wild Civic Park celebration that Kim Bauer threw together in twelve hours with the Johns brothers crowd-surfing, and the three-day bender at the Great Northern that you simply could not get away with today. He shares why 2001 is his "most boring grand final story," what really changed behind the scenes to take the Knights from the wooden spoon to the finals this year, and some brilliant off-the-cuff Andrew Johns and Matty Johns moments from decades in breakfast radio. This is a bonus midweek drop, but our main show lands every Sunday night, so hit subscribe so you never miss one.

    NRL Enforcer Greg Bird | on the Gallen-Myles Punch, Joey Johns Revenge & Origin Stories

    SPECIAL GUEST - GREG BIRD Scotty and Eggo sit down with former NRL, State of Origin and Kangaroos star Greg Bird for a relaxed, natural and completely unfiltered chat. Two Maitland boys interviewing a Maitland legend, and it plays out like a Saturday afternoon on the punt, minus the beers. Greg goes deep on the stories most players won't touch: the behind-the-scenes truth of the infamous Paul Gallen punch on Nate Myles and how it was planned, going to war with that great Queensland side, his genuine feud with the Newcastle Knights, and the brutal revenge game against Andrew Johns and Steve Simpson. He opens up on the Brian Fletcher moment , the jersey that means the most to him, and answers questions. Plus an all-time sledge at the end that was so good we had to promise never to air it.

Phil Gould's commentary one-liners, Ricky Stewart looking like he's been hit by six semis, the finals race with two rounds to go, and Jimmy's 3-2-1s. Plus the cricket, with Australia smashing Bangladesh inside two days, Mitchell Starc's record-breaking first ball, and the numbers that suggest we're watching the end of Marnus Labuschagne.
