We break down the Rookie of the Year race for 2025 — will it be Iongi, Toia, Humphreys or Nawaqanitawase taking home the honours? We also look ahead to history in the making, as Alex Johnston edges closer to becoming the NRL’s greatest ever try scorer. When will he break Ken Irvine’s legendary record?

Plus, we preview all the Round 17 action with key stats, tips and predictions, and finish off with your listener questions including who we think will be on the cover of the next Rugby League video game.
