Billy Slater makes massive calls on his Game 2 QLD lineup as DCE and Fermor are dropped for Horsburgh, Capewell (and even Ezra Mam), as the NSW Blues are forced to replace Mitch Barnett due to a season-ending injury… Mal Meninga being named the inaugural Perth Bears coach causes a merry-go-round with Bennett, Fittler, Cam Smith and Brad Arthur all caught up on the ride… In the NRL, Lachlan Galvin made his Bulldogs debut, Josh Papalii became the most capped Canberra Raider, Adam Reynolds joined the 300-club, the Top 4 clubs prove why they are leading the way, Dolphins put every club on notice, Trbojevic brothers potentially on the move, and so much more! We close out our episode with Hull KR claiming their first silverware in 45 years after winning the 2025 Challenge Cup!
