We're joined by Storm CEO Dave Donaghy who talks us through the line between criticising referees and expressing emotion and what the process is for Melbourne. He also gives us an update on Billy Slater's contract and an insight into how the club has been succession planning behind the scenes. Plus, as always, we go through all the headlines, team news and predictions ahead of a big weekend of semi-finals!

It's Round 25 and there's plenty to talk about this week! Fresh from winning the NSWRL Women's minor premiership, we chat to Redfern All Blacks star Jasmin Allende about how the team is defying the odds this season. We get the latest from NRL Fantasy guru Chris Kennedy and discuss the biggest issues in rugby league. Join Jimmy Smith, Maria Tsialis and Pamela Whaley for everything you need to know in the lead up to the finals!

There's plenty to talk about in Round 24 as we discuss the Titans and Jarryd Hayne, salary cap negotiations and how the NRL should be handling expansion talk. Retired Knights hooker Rory Kostjasyn also joins us and opens up about the freak injury that ended his career and which may affect the rest of his life.

It's Retro Round! This week we chat to rugby league historian David Middleton about the golden era of the 1980s, discuss the biggest news stories, preview all the games in Round 22 and shore up our NRL Fantasy teams with the help of Chris Kennedy from NRL.com.
