Roy and HG - Bludging on the Blindside

American tennis star Taylor Fritz was fined $10,000 for vomiting in a bucket side of court. This raised lots of discussion and possible courtside redesigns. Such as, turning the Um's chair into a port-a-loo. On a different note, Manly are looking to heal some club wounds, Roy suggested, "A pig on the spit would do the trick", in memory of  the great Bozo Fulton, Manly's chief pig shooter.

Roy and HG are back for season 2023! People, isn't every round a respect round? You go to the Rugby League, gob off to the team you hate, their supporters gob off to you and we all respect that. Well, you gotta respect sometimes, the people you respect, you don't respect. That's respect.

Ray “Rabs” Warren has long been the voice of Rugby League. After hanging up the binoculars, he’s turn to jewellery designing, designing the $10,000 NRL Premiership ring. This legend has no boundaries! What next? Host of Eye of the Storm? Find out next season…

At half past the 11th hour on AFL Grand Final eve, Roy & HG examine the tax free status of all sporting codes, especially AFL and NRL. Is this because sport in this country is like a religion? Or V’Landy’s and the Murderer squeezing the last ounce of juice out of sports that are dying in the bush. Royal Commission me thinks.

Roy remembers the day Her Majesty met Rooting King. Roy sensed a presence; it was the Queen. The King knelt to allow the Queen to mount him, and the grace, pride and poise on the Queen’s face, will never be forgotten.

Australian cricketer, Cameron Green suffers from cramping issues. Roy associated cramping with a lack of salt and offered some advice. Stomp and Grass use to insist on having a salt lick in the dressing rooms with the Shamrocks. Certainly, at halftime the whole team would get on their knees and have a lick.

INTRODUCING: ABC Sport Daily - Aged 45, Tom Brady's off-season has included the following: retirement, comeback, a record TV deal, revelations of flirtations with a new team, an 11 day holiday on the cusp of the season. What's going on with the NFL's GOAT? Will he rise once more? Featured: Jenna Laine, ESPN.

INTRODUCING: ABC Sport Daily - 4.5 billion is a huge number and the consequences are just as big for the game, the broadcasters, other codes and most crucially - you, the fan. It might be the biggest broadcast deal in Aussie sports history, but is that best? Featured: Sport business writer, The Australian, John Stensholt.

20 years on from Australia's last Bledisloe Cup, are the Wallabies ready to win another one? Sure Australia has been patchy of late, but so have the All Blacks. We dare to dream with rugby caller Sean Maloney. PLUS, an upset at the US Open, a Postecoglou pearler and the AFL settles on broadcast partners. That's on this bonus episode of ABC SPORT DAILY for all Roy and HG subscribers. Featured: Rugby commentator, Sean Maloney.

Nick Kyrgios knocked over the world number one. Ajla Tomljanovic has defeated the GOAT. Both are in the US Open quarters and Aussie tennis is having a moment in New York. Neither player is done yet. Could we see a double coming of age in the city that never sleeps? That's on this bonus episode of ABC SPORT DAILY for all Roy and HG subscribers. Featured: Former Australian Davis Cup Captain, Wally Masur.

With the retirement of Serena Williams and James Tamou, there was a suggestion of a farewell World Tour with these two exceptional athletes. James could have a final spray at a ref and then sit down with Roy and he would ask, “take us through it?”.

The Bunnies have pulled out of next year’s round zero clash in America. Maybe the problem isn’t the teams, Rugby League needs an ambassador, like Shaquille O’Neal. Instead of sending a first-grade teams, send a couple of Flegg teams

Great Rugby League story this week, local team the Sand Goannas won the premiership after they were lucky to field a side at the start of the year. Thanks to 17 year old captain/coach, Mannix Hunt. Mannix, the Bludge is right up behind you!

The donkey circuit is a point of much debate. Should it go ahead on one of the new counter-lever stadiums and what are they going to do when Paul Gallen’s not fighting? For that hour, release a echidna and bulldog from their cages, fight it out, bet, then back in the cage and back to the zoo! Solution.

Oscar Piastri who’s managed by Australia’s Mark Webber, signed to McLaren this week. Piastri was chased by Apline, but he doesn’t want to sign to them. They’re a rubbish team! Webber would know, he’s driven behind enough rubbish in his time.

This week Kevin Proctor was immediately sacked for vaping in the loo at halftime. Is this a sackable offence? Greats like Warney loved a smoke between innings, Cliffy Lyons, Neville Costigan and Darren Lockyer sounds like he smokes. Anyways, something for V’Landys and the Fair Work Commission to investigate.

The year the King, Wally Lewis dies, he should be put on ice and the following State of Origin have him buried, centre field at Lang Park. It’s all about the bet, the competition, either the Maroons win or King Wally goes back in the fridge!

The Blues in Game 3 had lost the game before they got on the field, Wednesday night. Roy described the mood, the silence in the change room, like they’d been told that they would be taken out into the middle of the ground and be hanged. Executed!

Rugby League games are played at such a furious pace, decisions need to be swift and correct. Referees and touchies don’t always get it right. Who can blame them when they’re getting just over $30 a game! Something for the Fair Work Commission to look into.

With the economy suffering from stagflation, why aren’t we teaching Rugby League in schools? If we are going to expand the game, then we need to start with the kids! Not teaching the sicko stuff, we’re talk’in Rugby League purity.

Rugby League players have a reputation for taking their pants down. If Teddy Tedesco and co are going to continue with this caper, then maybe we should have a betting market and capitalise on this State of Origin phenomenon.

HG fought back tears reading a personal letter from Mark Hensby announcing his retirement from golf at year’s end. As HG lifted his heavy, blood shot eyes (sadness related), he said to Roy, “dragg’in the bag gets ya down”. Not a true word has been spoken.

Mark from Toowoomba suggested Rugby League leave. If your team suffers a shock loss and you need to grieve, your employer will stump up, fully paid loss leave for you to cope with the trauma and help pay the bills in these tough times.

Bias – a term thrown around in Rugby League circles. Is it a term familiar with referees? Of course, especially when it comes to State of Origin, and length? A ref knows when to end a game, when Queensland’s in front!

Darren shared a great idea for Rugba League memorabilia. A whole shelf full of footy greats and events from the past, beautifully displayed on plates and bowls. Something for all the forgotten quiet Australians to collect.

Problem – Sports star with a criminal history. Obstacle – Australian Border Force. Solution – The offender would be meet at the border, put in a cage and dragged to any stadium. A new classification for athlete criminal visas. Perfect!

What’s more important, the photograph or the Rugba League dunny? What if Helmut Newton snapped the photo? He’d have an artistic point of view, which would shape your attitude towards the toilet.

V’Landys wants to invest in Rugba League stadia! What better way to invest than starting your own bank? Rugby League Bank. That produces Rugby League cheques. Whatever happened to the humble cheque book?

The Minister for Education and Youth, where is he? Alan Tudge, has anyone seen him? Last sighted under the desk of Sneesby at channel 9. Possibly working up a new show or segment for ‘Eye of the Storm’? Who knows.

How good is Peter V’landys? The man of feathers, the negotiation god of Rugba League is working on a plan to network Rugby League stadiums across Australia. You’ll be able to access them via a dedicated road system or very fast train.

Rugby League is war. Warriors that take to the field without helmets. A documentary to promote Rugby League in America. Now sure, Americans are stupid, but they understand war. Maybe Rugby League is bigger than America!

To stop the pitch invaders at Rugba League games, Roy & HG have devised a genius method that every Rugba League fan would have to fill in a ‘certificate of intention’ when entering any ground. Brillant!

With the glittering array of Rugba League merchandise, one item caught the eye of Roy & HG. Rugba League soap! Interestingly the AFL own the copyright, Unbelievable! It’s upset HG, he’s demanding the Government step in. Outrageous!

Due to health protocols blah blah blah.... that's code for the boys are missing in action. Last seen with the Murderer in a head lock at Warnie's shindig, doing the macarena on the dance floor with the Minogue sisters. Please send them home if you see them.

After Buddy’s 1000th goal last night, Roy & HG got caught up in the celebrations… then the Murderer turned up. It ended up in fisty cuffs and one of them was ruled out today with an HIA. So, we cobbled together this “Best of”. Well, maybe some good bits, Enjoy!

Roy & HG are proposing bringing national service to Rugby League. It’s a three-prong proposal to fix childhood gambling and a fall in youth Rugby League participation. Roy & HG discuss

Sad stories have emerged from the dark "Rugby League" underbelly. Roy demands, "It's a cultural problem". The culture that doesn't exist when team mates can't meet in a pub, with a few beers to sort out their differences.

Don't forget Rugby League fans to put your undies out on your front door knobs for the Grand Final. A fitting tribute to our final show for the year. Happy Rugba League People!

Perth's lord mayor Basil Zempilas raised the "cringeworthy" idea of the crowd at the AFL Grand Final applauding Australia for the great work we've all done during Covid. Roy & HG came up with a better one. How bout AFL fans torching their underwear and place the burnt remains in an urn the shape of Basil's head, mounted to the AFL trophy.

Rugby League Player, Joey Leilua is reinventing himself as a prop. This is a clear case of EdgeitisPropDismorphia. When Rugby League players who start their careers as wingers, slowly morph into front rowers. Talk about Prop trapped in a winger's body!

What do you get when you mix a bunch of jockeys, blood, a party and a ouija board? Well, I don't know, but it might be connected to Gladys and her reluctance to holding press conferences. The Mornington 5, one for the streaming services.

Hey kids, there was a time when Rugby League players were ordinary members of society. These ornaments of our community taught us so wisely, like the "parable of the yeast", making the bread rise and all of us rise with them. Thank you for such thoughts, Nicholas.

Rugby League is full of journeymen, less ornaments and there are even less monuments? What about an ornament to humanity? It's one thing to contribute to Rugby League, but to also humanity. That's a special individual.

Greg "Dish head" Dowling, one of the Rugby League ornaments for both the Brisbane Broncos and Queensland. Roy and HG asked the question, is his head shaped like a dish? YES!

Roy talks about his work with his "mind coach" to remove a metaphorical plastic bag off his head when first starting as a sports broadcaster. The mind coach simply said, "take the bag off ya head", Roy said, "OK".

Time to turn the final page on this chapter of the Olympics and Dodging Armageddon. Roy & HG bring home all the drama and excitement of the final day, Day 16 of competition. Thanks for joining us!

Whoever thought a degree in Psychology could give an athlete the edge when it comes to hurdling. Roy & HG discuss the difference between winning with a degree....and not.
