Things heat up this week on Winners R Grinners as we break down the biggest talking points across the Australian sporting landscape.

We kick things off with our Top 5 Sports News Stories of the Week, before checking the temperature of the game in NRL Pulse, where pre-season form, momentum and early signals start to mean something.

Then it’s time for AFL Origin, as the WA vs Victoria concept continues to spark debate about pride, rivalry and where the game is heading.

In Controversy Corner, we unpack the Zac Lomax saga — what’s happening, what it means, and who it affects.

Our Discuss This segment asks the big question: Are the Broncos in crisis? Pressure, performance and where things go from here.

We stay close to home with Live & Local FNQ, shining the spotlight on the Northern Pride and what’s happening in the Far North footy scene.

And finally, we wrap it all up with our Closing Thoughts — the final word on the week that was in sport.

Strap in. Plenty to talk about.
