The lads dig into the Hudson Young contract saga after the Chiefs parked PNG talks until November 1, leaving Young's $1.1 million Raiders offer looking harder to knock back. Then it's the Bulldogs, who need a genuine halfback to pair with Lachie Galvin, and whether Matt Burton's looming decision could fix their salary cap headache. Attention turns to Brisbane, where Michael Maguire faces a defining pre-season with his job on the line if the Broncos can't find harmony early in 2027.

Cronulla's finals hopes are in freefall after a shock 38-18 loss to Parramatta, and we ask whether the Sharks are simply choking again or something deeper is going on, including a heated post-match spray from coach Craig Fitzgibbon. We also dig into Nicho Hynes' form, the Roosters' title chances after Sam Walker's serious ankle injury, and whether Daly Cherry-Evans can inspire another finals run 15 years after his first premiership. Plus: is Michael Maguire still the right man to lead the Broncos, can Souths make history from outside the top four with Latrell Mitchell back, why the Dolphins deserve to be taken seriously as genuine contenders, Jett Cleary's standout NRL debut for the Warriors, and the Brisbane ground announcer controversy that's landed the club in hot water with the NRL.
