5/30/20261 hr 55 min

It's Round 13 and despite Nathan Hindmarsh's absence, Tony Squires, Wade Graham and David Riccio are joined by Premiership-winning coach Shane Flanagan. Everyone's up and about after NSW winning on Wednesday, and the Women's side becoming the first state to win a series 3-0. Wade gets in a fraction late, and his old coach punishes him. David Riccio breaks the news of Blayke Brailey's broken arm, missing Origin 2. Shane Flanagan opens up about the Dragons and life after head coaching. We review the Sharks' win over the Sea Eagles, who will replace Andrew Abdo as NRL CEO, and news about Jai Arrow's trip to Spain for his fight against MND. Millie Elliott and Cam McInnes join us for a chat too. Plus Tony's Quiz, Believe It or Not? and tips for the rest of the weekend's footy.

    Big opinions.

  7. Tony Squires· Host0:15

    Lomax wouldn't have made a lick of difference to that side.

  8. Wade Graham· Host0:17

    I think he's one of the weakest players in Origin history.

  9. Tony Squires· Host0:19

    There's not a club that's not mired by more drama.

    So good to have your company on a Saturday afternoon, and so good to look across this expansive desk and see the face of Sha- Shane Flanagan alongside Dave Riccio. Welcome, welcome, Flanno.

  16. Wade Graham· Host0:48

    Yeah. Thanks, Tony. It's great to be here.

  17. Tony Squires· Host0:50

    Uh, now, we-- The seat that is empty that lies between us belongs to, uh, Wade Graham. Now, he, uh, he will be here any second apparently as he's driven from Wollongong, or he's in the process of doing it. When you were coaching him, was he a reliable kind of cove?

  18. Wade Graham· Host1:04

    He was actually. Well, I spoke about this the other day. He, he was pretty well-behaved.

  19. Tony Squires· Host1:08

    Mm-hmm.

  20. Wade Graham· Host1:09

    But I probably had a, a group that weren't that well-behaved. Um [chuckles] Luke Lewis and Andrew Fifita and, and so-- James Maloney, and so on. But Wade was one of the good ones. He was on time, and, uh, he didn't get into too much trouble. But, um, post-football- Yeah ... well, he's getting a bit slack.

  21. Tony Squires· Host1:24

    Well, look, uh, he, he, he does the work. He absolutely does the work.

  22. Wade Graham· Host1:27

    Hmm.

  23. Tony Squires· Host1:27
