Transcribe →Negative Smells
3w ago00:53:21Tap to summarizeAs Benji sprays some air freshener around the Zurich Centre, we’re joined by JR who shares all his NRL bugbears (which doesn’t include opinionated fans who aren’t club members). In fact, he ventilates some important matters that will help get rid of any odour of negativity around the game in general. Not sure if it’s enough to get to rid of the current whiff of desperation lingering around the Perth Bears though.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apr 2800:55:42Tap to summarizeFire Up! is joined by Venues NSW and Sydney Roosters lawyer, Stephen Gorry, not dressed in a suit. It turns out there are better military ciphers than the landing at Gallipoli as the Dragons and the Storms suffered in manners resembling way more one sided wars.As always, Turbo's hammies and AI Gus feature.And we touch on the Jarome Luai trip to PNG and what it could mean. Well, it means that he can easily continue to afford the customised 'LUAI' number plates as it was confirmed that he's off to PNG in 2028 just after we turned off the mikes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amens all round from all league fans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apr 1401:09:08Tap to summarizeDenis Carnahan returns to the co-host seat to provide a lot of Raiders chat you didn't know you needed.The Dragons coaching issue turns somewhat dark as talk turns to how much rope Flanno is entitled to when you are in the hot seat, now found on the sideline.And Denis gets the party started by setting the Stadium Australia car park to music on the occasions where Canterbury-Bankstown ends up ahead on the ledger.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apr 701:05:12Tap to summarizeThis episode has it all. Winners (Gale's Tigers). Losers (Rose's Bulldogs). Byes (Charlie White's Roosters).We are joined by Charlie White (The Bye Round podcast and Triple M) and Andrew Rose (game day music guru and The Voice Of PWA) to bathe in a NRL Round 5 bubble bath that had everything.Foz resurrecting Manly at Easter time. Reece whistling while he pushes. Flanno understanding everything and, yet, nothing. But the highlight was the punter who suddenly realised that they broadcast the footy.

Mar 3100:50:30Tap to summarizeThis week, we are joined by a man as lime green as Denis Carnahan in Dave Ray.We review the landscape at Shithouse Stadium as the glittering JJ Giltinan Shield run of 2025 is very much in the rear vision mirror of the Raiders bus right now. But Ricky is going up in the Maccas Universe.Anthony Seibold departs Brookie/4 Pines/Lottoland and you'd swear he and Dave are the same person when you hear the presser audio.And the Bunnies are heading to Allianz to the 'Home Of The Sydney Roosters' as the Chooks yet again take ownership of the important conversations in rugby league.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Founder, Stephen Ferris, returns to ask, What's In A Name?, as the mania for name changing extends beyond the Gorden Tallis Room.We explore what can you find these days in the boot of a coach's car.And we wonder why Multicultural Round didn't extend to Lapland, Czechia and Mail (to name a few).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →The Art Of Falling Apart
Mar 1700:55:25Tap to summarizeIt's Round 2, 2026 and already things are falling apart. Anthony Siebold is sleeping fitfully after Manly-Warringah disintegrated in front of the eyes of all at Lottoland. The Knights can't keep their millionaires on the field. The Sydney Roosters can't keep their fans off the field (and their players on bikes) anymore. And the refs can't keep their lips off those damn whistles.Thanks heavens for Emma Domoney and Alby Talarico who join us to talk about their Vegas immersive experiences and can report that the Glitter Strip is as stitched together as it ever has been.And please get behind Emma's tilt in the Mothers Day Classic through the below link:https://www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/fundraisers/emmadomoney135358/mothers-day-classic-sydneySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
