About Fire Up!

Hosts Stephen Ferris and Kris Gale are back with the long-running Fire Up! show (formerly on FBI Radio) that dives WAY too deep into the absurdities, minutiae, atrocities and huuuuge personalities in the NRL Universe, featuring regular guest and a perfunctory, random and opinionated weekly analysis of every round's games.

   Fractured Fairy Tale

   Despite being anything but in the game, the Newcastle Knights still almost had the fairytale finish everyone was wishing for (even Roosters fans). But our game is one of no quarter asked for or given and dreams often come crashing down. To reflect on the biggest week in league, we are joined by Yvonne Sampson from Fox League and PJ Lane of no fixed address. Their combined wisdom gives us the only answer to dashed hopes and bleak results: Fire Up! See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.

   11 Minutes Of Joy

   Fire Up! adds to the great father/son combinations if rugby league by welcoming Dave & Josh Ray to the mike. As Kurt Cobain once put it so well, we say to PVL, "Here we are now. Entertain us." And after the disappointments of Deans and Tones, he is now promising us 11 minutes of joy this Sunday. We review how we got to the Chooks v Knights/Broncos in the GF cheeseburger. And, oh Bullfrog Ritchie, you've done it again! See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.

   Tigers CEO, Shaun Mielekamp

   We are joined by Shaun "Tiger" Mielekamp, Wests Tigers CEO, to discuss the NRLW (and the NRL) Finals, the secret life of plastic plants and what's been a packed first year in the job. And we learn that he likes to get his grunge on. See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.
