AJ and Rhys join forces to review a chaotic round of rugby league where teams stayed in the fight for the finals series.

On the show

- Inside the Titans recruitment boss' double deeds. Plus the contract that has South Sydney staying put at Accor Stadium.

- Penrith's cubs deliver a brave performance against the Bulldogs as Canterbury find their middle ground after two straight losses.

- Parramatta prove their rebuild isn't a fluke as questions continue over the Warriors finals credentials.

- AJ's Melbourne trip attracted attention as the Roosters break records with their second half onslaught as Melbourne shouldn't panic.

- Canberra claim their minor premiership that is 35 years in the making against a Tigers side that reverted back to last year's ill-disciplined group in a year that has seen so many positives.

- Manly prove too strong as they have a mathematical chance to get into the semi finals as the Dragons continue their demise to end the 2025 season.

- Brisbane show the good, bad, ugly, lethargic but still prove too strong for the Cowboys in Townsville. Reece Walsh shines, toilet water and all in a world class performance. We analyse how the Cowboys have faired this season.

- Cronulla rebound after 25 minutes to restore order in the race for the top four with a 24-point win over the Knights. We deep dive the Knights pursuit for a new coach and who they should target.

- Dolphins keep their finals chances alive due to some brain snaps from a certain Titan that we will not name. But the Titans are showing signs but we analyse how they need to rebuild.

- LOLCOW of the Week as Rhys has to adlib following AJ's sudden change!
