Offseason? What Offseason? The boys somehow manage to record their longest show of the season...despite the fact that the actual NRL finished 2 and a half weeks ago. Noz waxes lyrical about his usual array of gibberish, which ranges from the Rolling Stones to Calf Livers to Mortal Kombat. JC is just happy to be able to name another member of the Tongan Squad.

It Ain't Over! JC and Noz contemplate 5 more weeks of football with the upcoming Rugby League World Cup...and who doesn't love International Rugby League! The boys preview the Top teams as well as the most compelling clashes of the first round. JC also manages to fit in some Roosters gibberish while Noz tries not to regurgitate as he does so. Come and Join Us for what is the loosest program of the year...at least to date!

Better Late than Never! JC is shouting from the rooftops following his Roosters hoisting the Premiership Trophy...and why not, after he rode all the ups and downs of season '26 with his beloved Tricolours! Of course, Noz doesn't let him off the hook, posing a few challenging (read: troll) questions. But who are we fooling, today's episode is all about the GF and the Chooks' Victory! Bring it On!

Light the Lights: here we are for the 1st Annual NRL Offside Awards (or as those in the know call them "The Offies"). Join JC and Noz as they break down the Year in the NRL in their own distinctive way with a range of the conventional and the unconventional. We have Moment of the Year and Team of the Year as well as The Errol, the Aubert, the JDC and the Diabolical Waffle. It all culminates in the Golden Offside for our Player of the Year.

We have finally arrived: the most exciting weekend of the year in the NRL! Noz tries to hose down JC, who could well be the most excited human ever, and the boys discuss the Panthers-Knights Instant Classic Prelim Final. JC can't stop taking about his Chooks - and really, who could blame him -- while Noz contemplates whatever is going on in the Bunker. And of course, our preview of the Big Game between the Roosters and the Knights! And the excitement continues: this is Part I of our Program this week. Hot on the Heels we have our First Annual NRL Offside Awards! Instagram:@NRL_Offside TikTok: @NRLOffside Newsletter: nrloffside.riverside.com feedback emails: jc@nrloffside.com noz@nrloffside.com
John from Coogee (or is it John Da Coogee?) makes his debut after moonlighting with Brandy and Jimmy on SEN Sports Radio. Cruise Control/Speed Hump returns while Noz contemplates the subversion of his least favourite play (John Da Coogee of course drivels about the Chooks). The Grapple looks at the best Englishmen to have played in Australia (at least in our living memory) and Free Ballin' is a rare collaboration looking at our all-time favourite (or least favourite?!) Prelim Finals. And of course, the boys preview this week's big games and do a little Vox Poppin. Check it out!

JC and Noz unpack an action-packed first weekend of the semi-finals at their own leisure with this week's Speed Round morphing into Cruise Control. JC bemoans a timing mishap with Nathan Cleary's sin-binning against the Roosters and Noz celebrates all things Gags. The Grapple looks at a Wild concept and the Round Preview digs into this week's Do-or-Die games. JC brings it all home with a Free Ballin looking at who gets where in the semis.

JC and Noz dig into the Twilight Zone with this week's Round Recap ruminating on a weekend where nothing really seemed to make sense (except of course the inexorable roll of those boys from the foot of the mountains). JC discusses a debut for the ages while Noz tries to work out exactly what Spencer Leniu was doing on Friday night. The Grapple is Part III of our Contender Series (but not really) while Noz finishes by looking at one of the best parts of our game.

JC and Noz give almost sensible responses to the Roosters' current travails, Parramatta's late season up-swing and the continuing Real Housewives of Red Hill drama. The Grapple is part two of our Contender Series looking at the chances (or not) of the Chooks, the Fins and the Sharks while Noz takes a trip across the ditch for a pivotal moment in the development of the Modern Era of Football...as well as re-visiting the greatest magazine of All-Time, Rugby League Week.

JC and Noz discuss two candidates for Game of the Year, one a top-of-the-table clash, the other a psychedelic delight. JC goes his usual Roosters route with What Caught Your Eye while Noz takes a look at back-to-back candidates for Try of the Year (as well as Mitch Moses' Out-of-Body experience). The boys then channel their inner Grumpy Old Men and JC brings it home by looking at the potential of getting a Hailey Comet-like, once-in-70-years experience with our Friends from North of the Border.

JC expands the vernacular while the boys contemplate their new viral fame on the Social Media. They also try and make heads or tails of the Bubble Bath In Brisbane thrown on by the Fins and the Broncos while Noz takes time to admire the jerseys of Indigenous Round. The Grapple wrestles with a thought experiment thrown up by one of our listeners and Noz brings it all home with Part II on his Free Ballin series on Building a great team.

The boys' mix it up a little this week with the Outro coming to the Intro and an early Vox Poppin posing a time conundrum. JC revels in a landslide in Townsville while Noz wallows in 40 of the worst minutes of Footy that you will ever experience. The Grapple is a Mea Culpa for all of the ahem mistakes the boys have made and JC brings it home with the records and milestones for Season 2026.

Noz discusses the JC Effect and how JC was actually responsible for the Adam Doueihi situation at the Wests Tigers. JC panders to the Bulldogs while Noz contemplates something special brewing on the Goldie. It is the usual mixed bag of predictions in the Round Preview while Noz looks at team building in Free Ballin (and not the kind where you do some sort of ridiculous activity at a work planning day). The Boys bring it home with Noz defending himself against a full-frontal Doggies onslaught and JC getting with the socials. Come and join us for this week's wild ride!

JC and Noz discuss a couple of the NRL's mercurial characters and Grapple with Jarome Luai's latest recruitment shenanigans. The round preview throws up its usual rocks-and-diamonds and JC contemplates a brace of sad felines. Vox Poppin finishes it all off with a tribute to a cricketing great who had a touch of the Rugby Leagues about him.

JC and Noz dig into Origin for the last time and offer up an apology to Laurie Daley in the wake of his history-making series victory. JC does a cheeky double-up on What Caught Our Eye while Noz contemplates some funky Maroon Headwear And the triumphant debut of Noz's Diabolical Waffle!!! I love the smell of Napalm in the morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RHo_ZG-YGo Thin Lizzy "The Boys are Back in Town": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_xqb416S7o&list=RD5_xqb416S7o&start_radio=1 The inspiration for Noz's Diabolical Waffle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Jest
JC and Noz contemplate a wild and woolly weekend of footy that ran the gamut from Ku-Fu to unlikely upsets to last minute field goals. JC works through a rather silly act and Noz discusses arrow-shots and peaches. The Grapple has the boys' final Origin picks while the Round Preview dishes up its usual mix of wisdom and cretinism. JC rescues Free Ballin from last week's Mel Brooks' debacle while Noz gets a serving of diabolical waffle in Vox Poppin. Come and join the carnival!

No stuffing around for the boys today...there is way too much to discuss in the break-neck news-cycle of the NRL! Speed Round reflects on the important milestone of a Far North Legend - in the presence of Royalty, no less - while a leaping Cowboy and a pot of television gold catches the boy's attention. The Grapple looks at the big storylines of the season to date while the Round Preview is its usual Hodge podge of insight and head-scratching tips. Noz brings it all home with a Free Ballin' segment that could best be described as tangential and Teddy has an unlikely Green and Red defender. All-in-all, another great week of NRL to sink your teeth into... I open my mouth and some idiot speaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG4DB2_6nRA&list=RDyG4DB2_6nRA&start_radio=1 A Trick of the Light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhhb3I6gYAk&list=RDUhhb3I6gYAk&start_radio=1 The 70s! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ1NlevKiiM Parental Advisory Warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mzH1BQ2P-E Mel Brooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRFR8CejyMI
JC and Noz try to wrap their heads around another NSW Origin debacle...but not before JC attempts some mis-direction. Speed Round is unusually eloquent while JC waxes lyrical about an important yet underrated aspect of the game (of course, Noz just goes on with his usual bumph). The Grapple doubles as a therapy session while JC looks back at his pre-season predictions to see how they are progressing. Meanwhile JC walks back his anti-Toto sentiment and Noz comes up with the single worst moment in the pod's brief history 4'33: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bGU9NTJlIo Medieval on yo ass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6zqu_9Sb7w Drop Toto! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY&list=RDFTQbiNvZqaY&start_radio=1
