The Groin Strain

Should the Dally Ms be held in a cave? The Groin GF preview and The Golden Tooth winner is announced.

All the glitz and glamour of the 2026 Groinies from the Groin Strain Studio. Who will take home the coveted Silver and Golden Groin Awards this year? Whatever the answer, rugby league is always the winner.

This week on the Groin we remind you to always look on the bright side of life as we delve into the NRL and NRLW Finals series; advocate for a compulsory Wests Tigers aptitude test for new Wests Tigers players and Nicolas Cage starring in the new Wests Tigers movie.

The Groin talk about the NRLW Wests Tigers girls' first ever finals win over the Raiders in spectacular fashion hours before the game; sending rugby league teams to Siberia for off-season training and to eradicate the six-again and stoppages pandemic across rugby league!

The Groin discusses the finals being an inaccurate representation of life, as success doesn't really exist, only failures and disappointment. The Groin reflect on the Tigers' season; which football players can play the next James Bond; having 10 referees on the field instead of 1; and bringing streamers to the Tigers' first NRLW Finals Campaign.

In this episode, the Groin takes on the hard hitting questions facing first world rugby league countries as to whether to attend the NRLW Finals or the Angels Concert. The Groin also discuss making rugby league compulsory across schools and a 2 year national service commitment for all 18 year old Australians and consider renaming the Centre of Excellence to the Centre of Perfection.

The Groin addresses the rugby league upset of the century against the team who shall not be named and the prevalence of players being put on report epidemic. The Groin also have heated debates on who should be the pre-game entertainment for this year's Grand Final; if 10 year olds should be watching R-rated movies and if Forrest Gump was a genius or simply stupid.

This week, the Groin releases their manifesto, calling for a Wests Tigers Revolution. A revolutionary rally that will alter the rugby league landscape and the state of the world forever, even bigger than that of the Communist takeover of Russia and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

The Groin discusses the NRL's Global Round Initiative and the possibility of bringing rugby league to Iran. The Groin also suggests the Pope should headline the 2028 Grand Final pre-match and halftime performances reminiscent of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Finally, a congregation of fans are rallying for naming the Campbelltown Stadium Stand the John Standalis.

In the wake of a six game losing streak, the Groin discuss the Tigers hosting footy funerals for their members where fans can customise their own coffins and interment procedures and can choose a player of their choice to preside over it. In another weekly tirade, Troy wants Campbelltown Stadium to name their grandstand in honour of Skando.
