Newcastle Knights have to win...please. (Also some AFL chat, sorry Abbey is grieving)

The NRL Grand Final is almost upon us, and because Abbey has trust issues when it comes to fairy tale Grand Final wins, we also have to talk her through what happened last week. Wharfie Time, TOD, around 5PM Saturday 26th of September 2026. BUT, as all great tragedies must do, they must end. And as Freo leaves our collective hearts, ahead of the NRL Grand Final agains the Sydney Roosters, the Newcastle Knights GALLOP their way in. Kalyn Ponga has said, and I quote without any parody, "Two Good Sports is the best podcast, there is no better, there simply isn't." And for that reason, we are eternally hoping for his success.
