Episode Summary:

State of Origin II takes centre stage as Ian Hawkins and Steve discuss whether the Blues can wrap up the series in Melbourne and why the build-up has felt unusually quiet. The boys break down the latest injury updates surrounding Mitchell Moses, analyse the key changes to both squads, and debate how Reece Walsh could be used by Queensland. There’s also strong discussion around New South Wales’ slow starts, the balance of the Blues bench, and why the opening 20 minutes could decide the entire series.

Away from Origin, the boys review a fascinating NRL weekend, highlighted by an emotional tribute to Jai Arrow, the continued rise of the Dolphins, and a crucial win for the Parramatta Eels. They also unpack the New Zealand Warriors premiership credentials, the ongoing struggles of the Brisbane Broncos, and whether the Wests Tigers can still charge into the finals. With Origin analysis, NRL upsets, power rankings, and plenty of rugby league debate, this episode is packed with talking points.
