Sam Walker Responds to His Origin Critics

Game 2 State of Origin Man of the Match Sam Walker joins the boys fresh off one of the best Origin performances in recent memory. Sam opens up on silencing his critics, backing up for club footy days after Origin, the Victor Radley melee (and why he made the call to stay out of it), his family's reaction watching him play for Queensland, and why Joey might just be turning Maroons. Also on the show - Tayla's husband Marcelo Montoya announces his NRL retirement after 10 years, the Socceroos get a World Cup wake up call from the USA , a Kiwi makes history as the first ever Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and a Joey gets his own tradie inspired segment: The Toolbox Talk.
