Meanwhile, the Storm were too good for the Sharks, booking their spot in the decider. We unpack how Brisbane pulled off the impossible, why Melbourne always rise in September, and what it means for a blockbuster Grand Final showdown.

This week’s family ep fires up straight out of the gates — from “Who stinks?” to Cooper’s fitness regime that still hasn’t kicked in. We get tales of Trish’s infamous Thai green curry (and the ring of fire aftermath), Matthew’s emotional trip to the Chinese grocers, and Matty’s obsession with watches. Jack cops it, Chambers gets a run, and somehow we end up with Shaun the Sheep.
