The NRL season is nearing its conclusion.The Sydney Roosters and the Newcastle Knights will battle it out in Sunday for a shot at glory.And while grand final appearances have been fairly common in recent years for the Roosters, it's been a long time between drinks for the Knights: a quarter of a century.

In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan look back on a dramatic weekend of Super League and NRL preliminary-final action, with two new teams booking their places in the Super League Grand Final.They begin with Warrington Wolves' dramatic victory over Leeds Rhinos, which was decided by a controversial late penalty after George Williams was taken out while chasing a kick. Martyn and Jake discuss the decision, the resulting penalty goal and whether Warrington deserved to get the crucial call. They then turn to the biggest surprise of the weekend as Wakefield Trinity stunned Wigan Warriors to reach their first-ever Super League Grand Final. The pair discuss Adam Keighran's yellow card, the impact it had on the game and what it means for Super League to have Warrington and Wakefield contesting the Grand Final.Over in the NRL, they review the Sydney Roosters' win over the Dolphins and the Newcastle Knights' incredible victory over the Penrith Panthers, which sent Newcastle into their first Grand Final since 2001. The Knights' victory came at a huge cost, however, with Nathan Cleary suffering a serious leg injury following the tackle from Phoenix Crossland. Martyn and Jake discuss the incident, Crossland's red card and whether he should face a suspension for the Grand Final. Crossland has since been referred to the NRL Judiciary. They also provide an update on the ongoing NRL–RFL negotiations before giving their predictions for the Super League and NRL Grand Finals.

Sorry folks this one took a while cause I was away and had no idea it existed. But it's still good! Pick it up, dust it off and have a listen. As usual this one is brought to you by Google Gemini - Flash 3.8 with enhanced thinking. What does that mean? I'm not entirely sure. But you have to pay for it. Well, I do. They don't. TCRP COMING SOON I PROMISE! It's that part of law school but it's gonna get much better very soon. ENJOY! In Episode 173 of The Two Jacks, hosts Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack break down a confronting and wide-ranging week in Australian news, politics, and culture. The episode opens with an urgent discussion on Australia's domestic violence epidemic following three fatal incidents across regional and metropolitan communities, examining stubbornly high homicide rates, non-intimate familial violence, and the breakdown in enforcing intervention orders. Turning to Canberra, the Jacks assess Anthony Albanese's slump in Newspoll ratings, Siobhan McKenna's appointment as Consul-General in New York, and the persistent political headaches surrounding ministerial perks—headlined by Transport Minister Catherine King's lifetime Qantas Platinum status and the exclusive culture of the Chairman's Lounge. The conversation heats up around Pauline Hanson: her widely condemned remarks regarding First Nations Australians, the unprecedented united condemnation from Indigenous senators across party lines, and her targeted attacks on Albanese's late mother over historic public housing tenancy. The hosts also tackle the national immigration debate, contrasting One Nation's drastic visa-slashing platform with Labor's incremental policy adjustments against a backdrop of acute regional labour shortages. They explore border enforcement anomalies—including the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer in connection with a tracking device placed on former detective Gary Jubelin's car—and examine systemic child welfare failures in Port Hedland. Rounding out the program, the Jacks debate proposed legislation to introduce an opt-out switch for social media algorithms, answer listener mail on the future of the US Republican Party post-Trump and the legendary 1935 Sydney Shark Arm case, debunk birth-order IQ myths, and unpack the $100 million sale of Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel. Finally, they deliver their verdicts on the AFL and NRL preliminary finals and share a laugh over a bizarre weekend in Australian cricket. Comprehensive Show Notes1. Australia's Domestic Violence Crisis & Systemic FailuresJack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack reflect on a harrowing weekend where three Australian women were killed in separate domestic violence incidents, including a 90-year-old grandmother in Sydney, a 23-year-old woman in Wagga Wagga, and a woman in northern New South Wales. The hosts analyse national homicide data, highlighting that domestic and family violence accounts for approximately 40% of all homicides in Australia, split evenly between intimate partner killings and broader familial homicides. The discussion covers the front-line pressures faced by police attending volatile call-outs, historical reporting shifts, and the frequent failure of Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) and Intervention Orders (ISOs) to deter determined offenders. Reference is made to the need for deeper cultural accountability and education among young men rather than relying solely on legal remedies. 2. Federal Politics, Polling Pressures & Diplomatic GigsAnthony Albanese faces a slump in public polling with Labor's primary vote falling to 27%, coinciding with his visit to the United Nations to receive a global citizen award. The appointment of Siobhan McKenna as Australian Consul-General in New York is examined, with Hong Kong Jack outlining the historical business and political ties between the Murdoch organisation and the prestigious posting. The hosts weigh upcoming electoral tests for both major parties in Victoria and New South Wales, alongside One Nation's polling gains. 3. The Qantas Perks Furor & The Chairman's LoungeScrutiny lands on Federal Transport Minister Catherine King after her parliamentary pecuniary interest register disclosed a lifetime Qantas Platinum status gift. Jack the Insider questions whether transparency around declared gifts should trigger public outrage, warning that relentless scrutiny over minor perks deters capable people from entering public life. Hong Kong Jack counters that Qantas's historic practice of handing out elite access and Chairman's Lounge memberships creates an undeniable perception of undue corporate influence across politics, the judiciary, and senior public service. 4. Pauline Hanson Controversies: Indigenous Remarks & Attacks on Maryanne AlbaneseIndigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy and all four Indigenous federal senators deliver a united cross-party condemnation of Pauline Hanson following her offensive description of First Nations Australians. The Jacks analyse Hanson's history of race-based political rhetoric, her qualified apologies, and whether such controversies place an electoral ceiling on One Nation's growing vote. Hanson's public criticism of Anthony Albanese regarding his late mother, Maryanne Albanese, remaining in her Camperdown public housing home until her death in 2002 is placed under factual review. Jack the Insider details the reality: Albanese was on a standard backbencher salary at the time, while his mother was an independent disability pensioner entitled to retain the home she had resided in for over six decades. 5. The National Migration Debate & Enforcement LogisticsOne Nation unrolls an aggressive migration strategy fronted by Barnaby Joyce, proposing to cut 750,000 temporary visas and enforce negative net migration before settling on a 130,000 annual intake. The hosts critique both One Nation's economically disruptive targets and the Albanese government's modest adjustments, noting strong pushback from the agricultural sector over backpacker reforms. Practical realities of border enforcement are weighed, questioning the feasibility of One Nation's plan to involuntarily deport 80,000 non-compliant visa holders annually. 6. Crime, Deportations & Child Welfare in Remote AustraliaThe hosts review the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer following the discovery of a tracking device attached to the private vehicle of former NSW homicide detective Gary Jubelin. Jack the Insider questions the administrative processes behind visa cancellations, contrasting Offer's circumstances with historical deportation appeals where national service exemptions were successfully argued in the High Court. Revelations from Port Hedland concerning vulnerable Indigenous children living unsupervised in squalid state housing prompt a discussion on caseworker burnout, state jurisdictional obligations, and the historical sensitivities of child welfare interventions. 7. Regulating Social Media & The Proposed Algorithm SwitchA look into legislative proposals aimed at curbing algorithm-driven content feeds on social media platforms, including proposals for an opt-out toggle. The hosts assess the risks of algorithm-driven radicalisation and anger loops on young users alongside concerns regarding censorship and government oversight of digital content. 8. Listener Inquiries, Science & Sydney FolkloreListener Lawrence asks what lies ahead for the US Republican Party post-Trump, prompting discussion on party fundraising capture and congressional dynamics. Listener Ray prompts a retelling of Sydney's infamous 1935 Shark Arm Case, where a captive tiger shark in Coogee coughed up a murdered boxer's tattooed arm, culminating in an acquittal based on the argument that an arm does not constitute proof of death. Debunking birth order stereotypes: a review of the 2015 study revealing that firstborns only average a negligible single IQ point advantage over subsequent siblings. Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel commands a record $100 million sale price, sparking nostalgic yarns about Sydney identity John Singleton, underworld figure Stan "The Man" Smith, and colourful characters from decades past. 9. Sports Round-up: AFL, NRL & CricketAFL Preliminary Finals review: Hawthorn's contentious holding-the-ball finish, Brisbane's path forward without the suspended Lachie Neale, and Fremantle's push for a historic maiden premiership. Listener James's query regarding the Adelaide Crows' 2025 performance, assessing midfield deficiencies and trade rumours involving Chad Warner and Nick Blakey. NRL finals overview featuring Newcastle, the Sydney Roosters, and the Penrith Panthers. Weekend cricket highlights: an extraordinary sky-high "moon ball" delivery dismissal, Australia's nail-biting one-wicket win over Zimbabwe off the final ball, and Marnus Labuschagne's expensive bowling spell for Queensland against Victoria.

Episode 234: In this episode of Sports Science Insights Podcast, host Steve Barrett is joined by Niklas Virtanen, who leads the sport science efforts at FC Midtjylland. With over eight years of experience in elite sport and high-performance consulting, and backed by UEFA fitness coaching and physiotherapy credentials, Niklas has built his work around a data-driven approach to optimising player performance and development. Much of the conversation starts from a premise that is easy to say and harder to sit with: GPS has been mastered. Total distance, high-speed running, sprint counts — the metrics that once felt like the frontier are now table stakes, tracked by almost every club at almost every level. The interesting question is no longer whether you can collect them, but what you do once collecting them stops being a competitive advantage. ㅤ From there the discussion turns to what sits underneath the movement data. Niklas makes the case for IMA and IMU signals as a way of understanding how a player is performing an action, not just what action they performed — the accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction and mechanical signatures that separate two players covering identical distances in completely different ways. It's a shift from describing workload to interpreting quality, and it changes what sport science can offer a coach. ㅤ The episode also explores where that leaves practitioners: the discipline required to stop adding metrics, the value of asking better questions of the data already being captured, and what genuine progress looks like once the obvious layer has been solved. ㅤ Topics Discussed: GPS Is Mastered — So What Should We Be Doing Now? Using IMA/IMU Data to Understand How a Player Is Performing, Not Just What They're Doing Moving from Workload Description to Movement Quality What Progress Looks Like Beyond the Obvious Metrics Where you can find Niklas: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.

HEADLINES: The Northern Territory is set for a heated parliamentary debate over assisted dying laws. The state with the country's highest prevalence of poker machines has unveiled a new set of gambling reforms, but harm minimisation groups say they still fall short. Convicted criminals in Western Australia will no longer be able to use good character references to reduce their sentences. The world's oceans have just hit their hottest temperature ever recorded. A special allowance has been made for Jai Arrow to play two more NRL games so he can reach the 100 matches for South Sydney. And finally, a painting that sent shock waves through Australia when it was purchased by the government for more than a million dollars in 1973 is going on tour.

The Wests Tigers snapped an eight-game losing streak with a stunning upset over the Sydney Roosters. The panel debates whether there’s a genuine pulse at Concord, and asks if the Chooks' lethargic effort is a major red flag heading into finals.

The crew dissects their forward dominance, bench depth, and the cold-blooded field goal move to snatch the top spot on the ladder over Penrith. Plus, a heated debate on who really deserves Coach of the Year! Joey Manu becomes the latest superstar to sign with the PNG Chiefs! The panel peels back the layers on PNG’s star-studded roster, sorting hype from reality.

JR returns to Fire Up! and manages to offend an entire country and an entire gender as we review the second Instalment of Indigenous Round. JR's Bugbears also return with 80% all new material. To his credit, JR does dig in and defend the Sydney Roosters, arguing that they are more than just a feeder team for rugby union - they are a humanitarian organisation. And speaking of other codes, we give thanks that we are not the AFL which has more troubles than a monkey on a rock right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 228: In this episode of Inform Performance, host Steve Barrett is joined by Dan Ramsden — Head of Performance for Super League's Hull KR, promoted into the role after eight years as the club's Head Physiotherapist. Dan now leads the club's strength, conditioning, and rehabilitation programmes, bringing together medical and performance functions under one department. Alongside a physiotherapy degree and a PhD focused on concussion, he holds a 5th Dan Black Belt in Aikido, and specialises in injury prevention and building athletic resilience in a collision sport. At the centre of the conversation is Dan's transition from clinician to department lead. He discusses what changes when your remit shifts from treating individual athletes to setting the direction of an entire performance team, the skills that transfer from physiotherapy, and the ones that have to be learned on the job. The discussion also explores the culture required to build and sustain a high-performing staff — how roles are defined, how disciplines are integrated rather than siloed, and how Dan develops the practitioners around him. Dan then unpacks player availability and its relationship with training and match intensity, before moving into his research area: concussion, neck strength, and the role of rate of force development (RFD) as a measure that goes beyond maximal strength testing. — Topics Discussed: Progression from Physio to a Head of Performance role Culture and development of a high performance team Player availability and its link to intensity Concussion and the use of rate of force development (RFD) within neck strength Where you can find Dan: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.
