Host Jamie Soward, Co host Nick Davis and the team review Round 12 and preview Round 13 of the NRL. Sowie & Dicky also dive into State of Origin after both the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons announced their sides for Game 1. Which players had to be selected? Who will win the series? And which player will win the Wally Lewis medal?

Also plenty to discuss in the world of rugby league after further controversy surrounding player sin bins, suspensions as well as the impact the rule changes are having on the game. Sowie also asks if the Tigers can take advantage of a weakened Panthers side and break their winning streak?

Dad Chat is back for another week, with Big Show and the boys sharing their parenting stories. While Tristan has you covered this weekend with #PuntforChange.
