The drought is over! In Episode 147 of SmartB Sports Update, we celebrate the Brisbane Broncos' first NRL premiership in 19 years, after a commanding Grand Final win over the Storm. But the action didn’t stop at full-time—Jordan Riki and Reece Walsh took aim at Buzz Rothfield, mocking the journo in the aftermath of the club’s triumph, adding fuel to the fire of one of the game’s ongoing feuds.

Elsewhere, Aaron Woods takes a swing at Gorden Tallis, firing back at old comments made about Michael Maguire. And speaking of criticism, questions are swirling around Craig Bellamy’s Grand Final record, as the Storm fall short once again on the biggest stage. In a surprise twist, Ricky Stuart is bizarrely named Dally M Coach of the Year, despite the Raiders' straight-sets exit, sparking confusion across the league.

We also unpack the Kangaroos squad announcement for the Ashes tour, including who made it, who missed out, and what the selection says about Australia’s international strategy.

In other sports, Novak Djokovic collapses in the brutal heat of the Shanghai Masters, raising concerns about his endurance and recovery heading into the final stretch of the tennis season. Meanwhile, a WA country football club is forced to apologise after its president is caught in a culturally insensitive costume at a club event.

This episode delivers finals fallout, controversy, and all the big talking points from the week in sport. Let’s go!
