   NRL Grand Final Wrap: The Roosters Reign, the World Cup Kicks Off & Cricket's Back

   The NRL season is done, and Scotty and Eggo wrap a grand final for the ages, the Roosters crowned champions, the 50-point hoodoo finally broken, and a Knights side that went down swinging. Then it's straight into what's next: the Rugby League World Cup days away and a big summer of cricket heating up. The boys relive the decider, Mark Nawaqanitawase as a Greek god, the wild field-dominance stats, Trent Robinson's three-from-three masterclass, and James Tedesco's Clive Churchill. Then the Kangaroos squad drops with some questionable calls, Kevvie's mind games on the Tongan selections, and the World Cup opener against a frighteningly deep New Zealand side. Plus the things they won't miss about NRL 2026 and Cricket Corner, with the South Africa tour, Marnus Labuschagne's long-awaited hundred and whether you can trust it.

   Grand Final Special: Lachlan Fitzgibbon on why the Fearless Knights Can Topple the Roosters

   The grand final is here and Lachlan Fitzgibbon returns for a big grand-final-week special to get Scotty and Eggo ready for Knights v Roosters on Sunday. Lachy paints the picture of a town gone mad, houses painted red and blue, 12,000 turning up to a training run, and makes the case that all the pressure sits with the Roosters against a fearless Knights side playing with belief. The boys dig into the Phoenix Crossland send-off and the ugly online abuse, the eggshell-theory debate on whether the injury should decide the penalty, and the Joey Johns "tongue in cheek" beat-up. Then it's the good stuff: the Dally M favouritism, how the Knights actually beat the Roosters, a head-to-head best-of-both-teams line-up, Clive Churchill Medal picks, and why Kalyn Ponga's emotion has won everyone over. Plus listener questions on Mad Monday legends and the Curry graveyard, a debate on whether a Knights win would be one of the greatest stories in Australian sport, and everyone's score predictions.

   Reacting to the Knights' Prelim Upset & the Ridiculous Stats to Pick an NRL Grand Final Winner

   Scotty and Eggo react to The Newcastle Knights pulling off a prelim final upset for the ages! The boys unpack Phoenix Crossland's send-off and the ugly online abuse that followed, whether it was really a send-off offence in a game that big, and then the stats that had socials in a spin: the 50-point hoodoo, why no side outside the top six has ever won it, and the one team in history to go from wooden spoon to a title. Plus a plea for every neutral to jump on the bandwagon (and a diehard Manly fan forced to pick a side), Mark Nawaqanitawase being from another planet, a swag of off-season signing rumours, and a lap around the grounds taking in Brisbane's AFL three-peat and Manchester City's 115 charges.
