Cooke & Cranny

Cooke & Cranny deliver all the Round Twenty-Six news, which for the first time ever, has been culled from the end of the NRL season and placed in the middle of the season, between Round Fifteen and Round Sixteen.

Queenslander Mick suddenly loses interest in Origin, Bobbo pays tribute to the greatest Ivans, the Suits & Pies segment gets back to basics and the boys suddenly realise that they are setting the agenda for the entirety of Rugby League media.

It's state against state, but what rhymes with territory? What does James Graham do with the Origin bye? And is this what it sounds like when doves cry?

Penrith win the May Premiership. Cooke and Cranny lament missing their first shot at a scoop, bag their fans and continue to dress for someone else's job they want. The problems of Rugby League are blamed on fantasy football.

In a sea of tributes to the greatest Australian representative footballer of all time, Cooke & Cranny look beyond the surface rumours and investigate the post-league destiny now awaiting this great man.

The boys suck up to five other Rugby League podcasts but continue to pick on non-existent Rugby Union podcast, Gardner and The Gardener. Mick has a eureka moment and explains how Artie Beetson became a C17th deity in Japan's shogun era.

Cooke & Cranny reveal the shocking truth behind Rugby League's acquisition of the Immortals and expose a violent, vehicular cover-up of an ancient Rugby League mystery.

Cooke & Cranny call for an embargo on naming any further Immortals, then induct themselves into the Rugby League Hall Of Fame. Bobbo is erased from the timeline. Implausibly ancient Japanese statues of Artie Beetson are set to arrive in Australia.

Bobbo pulls three crates of old Rugby League magazines out of storage. Mick and Bobbo stand in solidarity with Peter Beattie. Bobbo meets a man who can predict the future and a girl who wants to visit the past.

Cooke and Cranny pick a fight with a rival podcast. Sean Garlick is going to make the pies. Who's gonna make the gravy? As the NQ story reaches a fiery climax, Mick puts the 1940 Canberra Air Disaster down to alien intervention.
