Dave and Jase wrap up the 2026 NRL season with a massive Grand Final breakdown.

We dissect how the Sydney Roosters held on for a thrilling 19-18 win over the Newcastle Knights, James Tedesco’s masterclass, and where the Knights let it slip in the second half.

Plus, we recap the Dolphins' demolition in the State Cup, Roosters NRLW dominance, pre-game entertainment highs and lows, and drop our way-too-early 2027 Top 8 and Bottom 4 ladder predictions (including why Penrith could miss the 8!).

Thank you to everyone who supported us this season. Next time we’re back, look out for the Do Better NRL Podcast!

We’re down to the final four.

This week on Two Shit Blokes we review the Roosters’ massive 46–10 win over the Sharks and Newcastle’s 12–10 win over the Warriors before turning our attention to the Preliminary Finals.

Dolphins v Roosters
Panthers v Knights

Four teams left. Two spots in the Grand Final. Who can win it — and who CAN’T WIN?

We also name our NRL Team of the Year, including our picks across the key positions and our Coach of the Year.

Then we continue our end-of-season reviews. This week we look at the Warriors, Sharks, Rabbitohs and Cowboys — what went right, what went wrong, who’s coming, who’s going and what needs to change heading into 2027.

And we have Part 2 of our interview with former Roosters fullback Rocket Rod Silva.

No media training. Strong opinions. Zero qualifications.

This week on Two Shit Blokes, we’re into the business end of the NRL season — and there’s plenty happening.

We kick things off with the big news around Manu signing with PNG and what the move could mean as PNG continues to build towards its entry into the NRL.

Then we review all the action from Round 25, including Penrith knocking off Melbourne, Brisbane getting past Canberra in a thriller, the Warriors putting 45 on Souths, the Bulldogs smashing the Dragons, and the Tigers pulling off a one-point win over the Roosters.

We also preview Round 26, with some massive games including Broncos v Storm, Panthers v Bulldogs, Roosters v Dolphins, Warriors v Knights and Eels v Sharks as the race towards the finals heats up.

Plus, we go through your latest poll results and comments — including whether Newcastle should consider letting Ponga and Dylan Brown go, who's responsible for the Bulldogs' salary-cap situation, and whether Sam Walker is really worth $1.7 million a season.

As always, thanks to everyone who watches, comments and votes in the polls — and a massive thanks to our sponsors for backing the show. Proudly Supported By Our Sponsors

Season 2 Episode 30: Sam Walker Wants Lots and Lots of Money

Sorry for the late upload — remote recording has its challenges, and apparently it’s also pretty hard to get Jason out of the pool in Bali. 😂

This week on Two Shit Blokes, we get into Sam Walker setting his price, Billy Slater stepping down as Queensland coach, Hudson Young looking at the money on offer from PNG, the Broncos implosion and plenty more from around the NRL.

We also review all the action from Round 24, including the Roosters knocking off Penrith, the Rabbitohs beating the Bulldogs, the Raiders getting past the Sharks and the Warriors putting 40 on Brisbane.

Then we preview Round 25, check the results of this week's poll, get into your comments and find out what Emily has been up to this week.
