Hosts Stephen Ferris and Kris Gale are back with the long-running Fire Up! show (formerly on FBI Radio) that dives WAY too deep into the absurdities, minutiae, atrocities and huuuuge personalities in the NRL Universe, featuring regular guest and a perfunctory, random and opinionated weekly analysis of every round's games.

  • I’m fired up!

    The very best in eyes up footy analysis. Getting sick of the tired old 360? Feel like there’s more NRL angles to be had? Want to know what dark well Cameron Smith drew his unholy power from? Stephen and Kris will take you the full 720 and return you safely to your chair. Always moving forward not backward, upward not forward and always twirling twirling towards the finals. Ubuntu! Go the dragons!
