Episode 16 – Games People Play

With Daran Murphy, Dave "Tinners" Carroll & Barry Koch

State of Origin for another year is in the history books, and the boys wrap up the series, the big talking points, and what it all means heading towards the NRL finals.

There's also plenty to discuss surrounding the NRL's record-breaking $5.3 billion broadcast rights deal, including an intriguing angle raised by Rob McKnight on Media McKnight and McKnight Tonight about the anti-siphoning implications of the agreement. It's a fascinating discussion that could have long-term consequences for how fans watch the game. 

Plus:

• All the latest NRL results and talking points.
• The AFL season continues to heat up as the race to the finals intensifies.
• A full wrap of the QRL competitions.
• Results from around local rugby league.

Join Daran, Tinners and Barry for another packed edition of the podcast, with plenty of opinion, analysis, and a few laughs along the way.

The 2026 State of Origin series reaches its conclusion as we break down the teams selected for the decider and discuss the key match-ups that could decide who lifts the shield. Has either coach made a masterstroke, or are there still some big selection questions to answer?

We wrap up another massive weekend across the NRL, analysing every result, the biggest talking points, and what it all means as the race to the finals continues.

The Northern Pride continue to rewrite the record books, but perhaps not in the way they'd hoped, recording an incredible fifth draw of the season. We ask just how unusual that is and what it means for their finals hopes.

Around the grounds, we've got all the latest results from the QRL, FNQRL, AFL, and AFL Cairns, keeping you across everything happening both nationally and here in Far North Queensland.

Plus, Trenno joins us live from Oak Park for the 122nd Annual Oak Park Race Meeting—one of Queensland's most unique country racing events. He'll bring us the atmosphere, the stories, and all the colour from one of the biggest days on the North Queensland racing calendar.

It's another packed edition of Winners R Grinners with plenty to discuss, plenty to debate, and a few laughs along the way.

There are winners, there are grinners... and then there's everyone arguing about the referee on Monday morning.

The return and the rivalry is back and so are the arguments. This week on Winners R Grinners, we dive headfirst into the State of Origin Game One selections — who deserved the call-up, who was unlucky, and which coach has rolled the dice heading into next week’s opener. We talk to Trenno on his thoughts on the QLD and NSW teams.

We wrap all the latest NRL and AFL results, the big winners, the heartbreakers, and the moments everyone will still be talking about by Monday morning. There’s also a full look ahead to this week’s matches with our tips, predictions, and probably a few questionable calls along the way.

Plus, we go Live & Local with the latest from FNQ sport — because the stories up north deserve their moment too.

Footy, controversy, laughs, and a bit of chaos. Just the way we like it.

Jarome Luai steps into the spotlight as the game’s chief instigator — but is he leading or just lighting fires? We break down the influence, the attitude, and whether the Panthers’ pulse still runs through him.

Plus:

• NRL contenders starting to separate from pretenders
• AFL sides making early statements (and a few already wobbling)
• All the NRL and AFL news— as always
• FNQ wrap: what’s happening locally

Big calls, no fence-sitting — just the way we like it.
