Episode Notes

The boys dive straight into the nostalgia, reminiscing about the old days of dragging heavy 50-meter microphone cords onto the field for post-game interviews. They also celebrate the roaring success of the Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys. State of Origin talk heats up as the boys pick their origin bolters. Tipping gets tense as Piggy officially tries to pull the pin on his predictions after repeatedly backing struggling teams like the Eels and Dragons. Listener questions spark deep dives into the best players the boys ever shared the field with. The guys reflect on the brutal, forgotten art of contested scrums, sharing tales of flying headgear, uppercuts, and biting. Finally, MG reveals the truth behind the 1991 State of Origin carnage, confirming he was given a green light that ultimately ended in a six-week suspension. Plus the crew breaks down the NRL Round 7 action.
