Fire Up!

Doesn't matter whether you're James Bracey, the Perth Bears, the 6 again rule or the broadcaster of horse racing documentaries, you are in crisis. It's up to Fire Up! to pair up with celebrity Rabbitohs fan, PJ Lane, to try and repair the fabric of OUR game. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fire Up! is joined by Venues NSW and Sydney Roosters lawyer, Stephen Gorry, not dressed in a suit. It turns out there are better military ciphers than the landing at Gallipoli as the Dragons and the Storms suffered in manners resembling way more one sided wars. As always, Turbo's hammies and AI Gus feature. And we touch on the Jarome Luai trip to PNG and what it could mean. Well, it means that he...

Sharknado Survivor, Peter Campbell, joins us to help underline why you should never accept the Chairman's invitation to breakfast. We cover off the departures of Flanno, Haran & The Menace. But our deadline meant that we missed the boning of Kyle in what's been a bad month of Kyles. Peter laments the Sharks' lack of consistency. Amens all round from all league fans. See omnystudio.com/listener...

Denis Carnahan returns to the co-host seat to provide a lot of Raiders chat you didn't know you needed. The Dragons coaching issue turns somewhat dark as talk turns to how much rope Flanno is entitled to when you are in the hot seat, now found on the sideline. And Denis gets the party started by setting the Stadium Australia car park to music on the occasions where Canterbury-Bankstown ends up ahe...

This episode has it all. Winners (Gale's Tigers). Losers (Rose's Bulldogs). Byes (Charlie White's Roosters).We are joined by Charlie White (The Bye Round podcast and Triple M) and Andrew Rose (game day music guru and The Voice Of PWA) to bathe in a NRL Round 5 bubble bath that had everything. Foz resurrecting Manly at Easter time. Reece whistling while he pushes. Flanno understanding everything an...

This week, we are joined by a man as lime green as Denis Carnahan in Dave Ray. We review the landscape at Shithouse Stadium as the glittering JJ Giltinan Shield run of 2025 is very much in the rear vision mirror of the Raiders bus right now. But Ricky is going up in the Maccas Universe. Anthony Seibold departs Brookie/4 Pines/Lottoland and you'd swear he and Dave are the same person when you hear...

Benji Marshall's standards have opened the profanity floodgates in 2026 as Gordie and Sticky turn the air blue. Fire Up! Founder, Stephen Ferris, returns to ask, What's In A Name?, as the mania for name changing extends beyond the Gorden Tallis Room. We explore what can you find these days in the boot of a coach's car. And we wonder why Multicultural Round didn't extend to Lapland, Czechia and Mai...

It's Round 2, 2026 and already things are falling apart. Anthony Siebold is sleeping fitfully after Manly-Warringah disintegrated in front of the eyes of all at Lottoland. The Knights can't keep their millionaires on the field. The Sydney Roosters can't keep their fans off the field (and their players on bikes) anymore. And the refs can't keep their lips off those damn whistles. Thanks heavens for...

Brendan joins us to reveal that Fitzy as “been building something” and, while he doesn’t make a predication, he notes that the Sharks will win the Summons Provan in’26Importantly, we take a deep dive into the match of the round @ Ocean PROTECT Stadium - Sharks v Titans.

It's not even halfway  through Round 1 in the NRL and the blaming has begun. Vegas united Ming The Merciless and Flanno in misery as they failed to get the (gulp) 'rub of the green'.Redfern Pat is on board to peel back all that went down on the Glitter Strip (including Joe Burgess?) and to bid adieu to Buzz in fine style. And we realise that PVL & Buzz are still on opposite sides of our g...

The boys return for the 2026 season and find themselves in the thick of it as they plausibly podcast from the Glitter Strip in Las Vegas. They cover off the pre-season with its usual diet of aggressive monkeys, porn addiction and mayonnaise and look at the Nevada match ups. And Stephen has a big announcement! Fire Up! Coming at you from the MGM Grand.... or is Excalibur?!? See omnystudio.com/...

For the final show of the year we wrap up deluxe the NRL Grand Finals, both men's and women's, starting and finishing with a deep dive inside the enigmatic Reece Martin's head, driving by the big brawl in the NRLW Final, Teddy Swims v Snoop, the Telstra wristband, a slight digression through the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Spinal Tap 2, Madge and Bellyache, and, as always, much, much more. Including a m...

With special guest Redfern Pat out of the NRL Buinker and LIVE in the studio this week, After discussing the short lived "Freya Fires Up!" show on SKYNews and the misappropriation of the Fire Up! brand, Snoop Dogg and his doppelganger, Teddy Swims' cancellation, shenanigans  at the Caringbah Inn, and an emo Raiders lament from Denis Carnahan, our hosts finally get down to talking about some f...

The underdog Shark’s triumph, Canberra’s lack of soul - and humour - exposed, the astonishing hypocrisy of the Roosters’ “Zero Tolerance” policy towards leaning in to look at bags of powder, the ‘unsustainable” culture at Belmore Rd, and the breathtaking Panthers….all get discussed in this week’s episode. As usual we get a brilliant NRL parody...

This week it seems the travails of several NRL venues are all over the news and we wholeheartedly embrace the discussion! From The Gateway to Hell and the hot springs under Allianz to the idea of relocating the Roosters to Mudgee we leave no stone unturned. Denis Carnahan goes back to the 80's with Big Club Theory and we discuss "Spoonbowl" and much, much more. Thanks for listening x See omnystudi...

It's not very often that our hosts get to bask in the rarefied air of the lowly Tigers and Dragons both winning on a weekend - and beating the top 2 teams in the comp, but it seems they'd prefer to concentrate on the true bad boys of Rugby League - the journalists! Have a listen to see what they're on about....as always it's the best alternative look at League going around See omnystudio.com/liste...

This week's guest is the incredibly talented Denis Carnahan, who you all know from his weekly NRL satire songs that we a the ABC both feature. As a lifelong Raiders fan, he shares his feelings as they move into flag favouritism. We also discuss dictators, sentimental favourites, the Putin-like regime changes at the Dragons, and, as always, much, much more. Thanks for listening :) See omnystudio.co...

Is every NRL team trying to find their "soul"? Have "The Big Clubs" found theirs? Is Hefron Park haunted? What of the Roosters Undead? Where will the Wollongong Dragons find theirs? Has Tim Tszuyu had his soul taken? In this Hammer Horror Edition of Fire Up!, our hosts examine the existential underpinnings of the NRL sporting landscape. Thanks for listening zombies See omnystudio.com/listener for...

Still smarting from the Origin stinker last Wednesday night, our hosts complain about the game, the traffic, queue jumpers, the music - Dear God, the "music" - and furthermore aren't alleviated by their own teams losses on the weekend. They also discuss the Coaching Carousel, Ponga, Foran, Bennett, Seibold, Ming The Merciless and MUCH, MUCH MORE. Thanks for listening. It can only get better. See o...
