This episode The Producer goes solo as Josh recovers after having sugury.

NRL and the Eels were absolutely thumped by the Storm who are our NEW Bats and Balls Champions. Last years Premiers the Broncos were humbled by the Panthers which makes for an interesting Thursday Night game when the Broncos play the Eels. The Sea Eagles and Raiders had a classic golden point games and the Rabbitohs looked great against the Dolphins.

AFL saw the Swans blitz Carton in the second half to take the win. The Giants has a win against the highly rated Hawks while the Bulldogs beat the Lions. The Gold Coast Suns had a huge win against the Cats but face a much tougher opponent this week when they take on the mighty West Coast Eagles.

This episode The Producer is joined by Pies to go through the NRL and AFL as we get deep into the Finals.

NRL and we are down to four teams battling it out for the premiership. These teams are the Sharks, Panthers, Broncos and Storm. The Minor Premiers the Raiders were knocked out in straight set as were the third place Bulldogs. This week we see the Storm take on the Sharks and the Broncos host the Panthers to see who will be there Grand Final Day.

AFL and we are down to two teams after Geelong defeated the Hawks and the Lion defeated Collingwood. Minor Premiers the Crows were eliminated in straight sets. So, we are left with Geelong against the Lion in the Grand Final which should be a great game.
