The One With All The Intros
We’re breathing the clean air of the Poddock’s freshly cleaned aircons
Pistol’s been on the tools, for one whole day
And we’re donning the green and gold in prep for 2032

Get The Dogs
The world moves for the NRL
Footytips apologises by giving out participation trophies
And we batten down the hatches for the incoming storm

Spider Multi
We thought it was wabbit season, turns out it was duck season,
It’s Origin time again
And the QRL announces a large expansion.

Monsters Under the Bed
We’re back in the poddock,
The Hammer becomes the latest Cowboys Origin Star,
and we search for some beds to hide under

Live Lockdown Edition
We’re doing a special lockdown edition, LIVE!
Origin’s done. No, I'm not crying, you're crying.
And we look forward to taking on the Cowboys rejects, the Knights

The Hampster
We’ve copped another apology from the NRL bigwigs
More Cowboys make history, for State of Origin 2
And Ben Hampton is in the podcave!

Eyes Forward
Forget last week ever happened.
It's gone.
Don't know what you're talking about.
Move along.
Eyes forward to the Sharks.
#ridemcowboys

Three Way
It’s mate against mate
State against state
And tonight, it’s podcaster against podcaster against podcaster in a 3 way (battle)

Scoops
The warriors were weakened in a one point war
We go into the bye in a solid 7th
And it State Of Origin time, North Queensland style!

Tom Gilbert
The knights have been decapitated
We warm up our war dance
And Tom Gilbert joins us for a chat!

Patented
It's huuuuge
