Episode 68 | "I f***ing love finals footy!"

WE LOVE FINALS!: What a start to the NRL finals with the race to the premiership down to 6 as we farewell the Roosters and Storm. Panthers and Cowboys earn themselves a week off with Parra, Canberra, Cronulla and the Rabbitohs set to go H2H this weekend. The Super League Finals also commenced with two major boil-overs in the Major Semis. We also dive into the NRLW Round 4 results, NSW Cup & QLD Cup Semi Finals, as well as the Jersey Flegg Semis.
