Anthony Maroon is taking over hosting duties this week and is joined by News Corp duo David Riccio & Brent Read! One of the major stories of the year unfolded over the weekend after Tongan and Melbourne Storm star Eli Katoa was rushed to hospital after suffering three head knocks against New Zealand. Both Ready & Riccio vented their frustrations over the handling of the situation as investigations continue. The NRL announced their new anti-tampering rules and both journos try to make sense of a confusing rule. Tony Mestrov and Manly Sea Eagles have parted ways as the club’s messy 2025 continues well into the off season. England are in the spotlight after a poor Ashes and head coach Shaun Wane’s future is in question, as major names have been thrown up to take over. There is more November 1 market updates whilst Maroon has a very hot take on the future of the Gold Coast Titans!

The Kangaroos have claimed The Ashes and now brace for a clean-sweep! But Michael Chammas, Danny Weidler & Adam Peacock are back to review the fallout from Game Two! Reece Walsh unfortunately copped homophobic slurs from some of the English fans and Chammas spoke to the fullback after the game. And the number 1 had a cheeky response in true Reece Walsh fashion. The crew discuss potential changes to the Kangaroos squad for Game Three and break down what happened with prankster Matt Jarvis who lined up with the Aussie team for the anthem! Chammas also chatted with Cameron Munster who had an honest reflection about his former Melbourne Storm teammate Ryan Papenhuyzen who last week surprisingly walked away from his contract with the club. The boys reflect on Eliesa Katoa who copped three head knocks and how that whole process was handled as New Zealand made light work of Tonga. Matthew Johns is now minority owner of Gold Coast Titans and Weidler has the latest on how that unfolded. Keaon Koloamatangi is testing the open market and is asking for a lot of money. Could he leave Souths? And why is Danny Weidler a jahesh?! (A donkey in Arabic). Michael Chammas explains!

Brent Read, David Riccio & Adam Peacock are in studio for another episode of Triple M NRL Daily! The NRL want to buy into the English Super League and have grand plans to fix the game in the northern hemisphere. And after a poor outing in Ashes 1, the problem was there for all to see. Tonga and Samoa put on a great spectacle, albeit the dominant performance from the latter. But did it put the Origin eligibility debate to bed? We also built a team full of every player that is eligible for the Kangaroos and ask, would Australia even struggle if the Pacific Nations continue to grow? We stripped down the international rugby league calendar and build it back up to try grow the game. Could it feature a union type Six Nations? Could we bring in international windows mid-season? And it's almost November 1! Ready & Riccio have major updates on a huge amount of players and clubs. But most notably, the future of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui as Melbourne Storm start to circle!

Both were disappointed by the atmosphere in London's Wembley and explained how Tests Two & Three could be a reality check for Australia as both teams travel to the top half of the country. The trio discuss Samoa and Tonga in what's growing into one of the marquee events on the rugby league calendar. Chammas breaks down Global Round!

The Journos are back and it's our first Ashes Special! Both Michael Chammas and Danny Weidler are currently on tour with the Kangaroos ahead of their first match against England this weekend. Danny's been in town for a week and has been deep inside the Aussie camp, while Chammas only just arrived and is suffering from bad jet lag. Back home, Jonah Pezet is reportedly about to sign for Brisbane Broncos via Parramatta Eels, but why? The boys get to the bottom of a very confusing deal. After Peter V'landys & Andrew Abdo announced 10-year bans for NRL defectors to R360, both Chammas and Weidler got the thoughts of the Kangaroos players which won't sit kindly with the NRL's upper management. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's future for both club and country is in serious doubt. And Chammas managed to grab hold of Shaun Wane and asked him about Aaron Woods' comments about finding him "boring"!

New Zealand got the win over Samoa in the Pacific Championships but are there halves issues for the Samoans? Will Tonga find some holes to exploit ahead of their massive match this week? The Ashes are around the corner but is a series win enough for Kevin Walters to keep his job? And Ready has a surprising bolter he wants to start for the Kangaroos! Peter V'landys & Andrew Abdo threatened players and agents with 10 year bans if they deal with R360 but does it even hold up? How will it even work? And it is even fair?

The boys are back for another episode of The Journos! Adam Peacock is joined by Michael Chammas and Danny Weidler! Chammas was just in Papua New Guinea for the Prime Minister's XIII game and explains the NRL's and the local government's plans for how they will accommodate players and their families. It's much grander than you think! Whilst Chammas goes into detail at how much money the players will be making... and guess what?... It's a lot more than you think!!! The Ashes are right around the corner and neither Chammy or Weidler are keen to spend a month on tour together! Willie Peters is the name on everyone's lips! So when do we expect him to be in the NRL? Jarome Luai's already playing some mind games with the Wests Tigers around his contract clauses but could the club also be forced to part ways with young gun Jahream Bula? The Dragons had the feel good story of 2025 with Cody Ramsey, who dodged potential death to get his career back on track! But the homegrown talent rejected the club to stay to sign with the Sydney Roosters... how did that even happen? Weidler revealed his list of awards for 2025 but the other boys give him a hard time for his efforts in trying to be an AFL reporter earlier in the week! Stay in your lane Mr. Weidler.
