The Journos are back and it's our first Ashes Special! Both Michael Chammas and Danny Weidler are currently on tour with the Kangaroos ahead of their first match against England this weekend. Danny's been in town for a week and has been deep inside the Aussie camp, while Chammas only just arrived and is suffering from bad jet lag. Back home, Jonah Pezet is reportedly about to sign for Brisbane Broncos via Parramatta Eels, but why? The boys get to the bottom of a very confusing deal. After Peter V'landys & Andrew Abdo announced 10-year bans for NRL defectors to R360, both Chammas and Weidler got the thoughts of the Kangaroos players which won't sit kindly with the NRL's upper management. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's future for both club and country is in serious doubt. And Chammas managed to grab hold of Shaun Wane and asked him about Aaron Woods' comments about finding him "boring"!

It's Grand Final Day! And NRL CEO Andrew Abdo (25:52) is on a high after hitting his goals all season and looking forward to a big finale. He told Quentin Hull and the team that despite the obvious success of the Sunday afternoon finals matches he can't see the Grand Final returning to a daytime kick off.

Plus you can hear Luke Lewis, John Gibbs and Ryan Hoffman tackle the big topics in 6 Again (13:42) and the 1st thought is on Grand Final heroes (39:42).

NRL CEO Andrew Abdo (30:41) is happy with the way finals are shaping up - but not too happy. He told Brett Sprigg, Luke Lewis and John Gibbs that he's always looking at ways the game can be improved - although he loathe to be too critical of the Bunker. He thinks that's something people lose perspective on at times at all levels of the game. Plus Cronulla hooker Blayke Brailey (1:05:34) told the team how proud he was with the way the Sharks calmly dealt with the pressure from the Roosters in their Elimination Final win. And Lewey and Gibbsy take on the big topics in the NRL in 6 Again (9:53) while the First Thought is, rather appropriately, the Canberra Raiders (47.44).

This week on Bludging on the Blindside, Roy and HG discuss which tennis superstars have a first class toss, delve into how Rugby League acts as a valve for peace, and ponder whether Andrew Abdo has become the NRL's new music critic.

The last day of the 2025 Magic Round is here in Brisbane but will it continue to be in Brisbane after 2027? The NRL CEO Andrew Abdo (28:11) talks to Andrew Moore, Luke Lewis and John Gibbs about the possibility of Magic Round leaving Brisbane.Plus the team go through the top issues in Six Again (09:23), we get to know Denis Carnahan (1:13:22) and then Denis tries to figure out what Adam Doueihi was doing in his song of the week (1:29:45).

Magic Round kicks off tonight with Women’s State of Origin, followed by a series of blockbuster NRL games. Brisbane first hosted the event in 2019, and is locked in to host it until 2027, however, there is no guarantee it will continue in the River City beyond that. NRL CEO Andrew Abdo told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Three years is a long time and we want to continue to build and make Magic Round even more special." "When the time's right, we'll have a conversation around where Magic Round goes afterwards." "People do enjoy travelling to see games at Suncorp Stadium." "So we don't take that for granted, but obviously nothing is locked in beyond 2027," Mr Abdo continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
