We’re a bit late on the power band craze, but this week we decided to wear them whilst recording to see if they enhanced our performance. You be the judge:

• Unimmortal - After discovering Luke Patton is ineligible, we cast our first nomination....Simon “The Germ” Woolford. Retired, no grand final wins, no representative football and fired from his job at Fox Sports; a tragically comic figure and not a shy guy either ;-)
• Fashion in Football - We get all Vogue upside your head. Firstly NRL haircuts; Corey “Silver Fox” Parker, corn rows, David “Grown out Horsehoe” Barnhill and head strapping are just a few. We also debate socks up vs socks down and discuss whether players should have the right to be super tuff and remove their sleeves.
• Jumping on the Bandwagon - Lobby is conflicted as his beloved Raiders are trounced by the fast moving Sharkies bandwagon. A newfound respect is made for some of the Sharks lesser lights. Pomeroy for Origin?
• One on One Rivalries - We yearn for the days of the classic rivalry of Harragon vs Spud Carroll. The bar is set high for the few current NRL rivalries (mostly revolving around Ennis). We also suggest some potential new rivalries including Polar Bears and mascots.
• Home Ground Advantage - We pontificate on the various factors that can give a team the edge while playing at home, be they ambient, innate or simulated. We know about the Storms short in goal, the heat in Townsville and the Raiders big milky goal pads but we put forward some suggestion that we think will help. Pack your Aeroguard.
• Shout out to Kingy - *Warning; this segment contains loud and explicit language* Ok, well just one swear, but you can hear the frustration is Pedro’s voice. We decide our next step to contact Kingy will be through enigmatic winger and prolific twitterer Blake Ferguson who become BFF’s with Kingy in Country Origin camp. We might have to send some noodz though. We’re coming for you Blakey!

Get in contact through Facebook, iTunes, Twitter or our email (leaguebythefireplace@gmail.com), & put forward a nomination for an Unimmortal. Or share us round with your friends like you would a video of a dog riding a skateboard.
