Kane Evans' Brave Interview & Special Guest Manly's Jamal Fogarty

Kane Evans' brave coming-out interview stopped the rugby league world this week - and our panel know him better than most. Tayla lived alongside Kane in the Warriors Covid bubble, Connor played two seasons with him at the Roosters, and the boys share what he's really like and what his interview means for the game. Then we're joined in studio by Manly's new No.7, Jamal Fogarty. Jamal opens up on filling Darryl Cherry-Evans' shoes, the Foz effect at Manly, his journey from Queensland Cup battler and youth worker to NRL halfback, and moving his young family from Canberra. Plus, adventurer Oliver Foran on climbing Mt Everest from sea level - cycling through 42-degree India, surviving an avalanche at Camp 1, and the moment his blood oxygen hit 47%.

Roosters Star Angus Crichton & Swans Star Chad Warner Go Head to Head!

In one of the biggest episodes of Sportscafe Australia, we sit down with Sydney Roosters star Angus Crichton and Sydney Swans midfielder Chad Warner for a blockbuster conversation covering both codes. Angus opens up about his final season as a Rooster - eight years, 150+ games, and the emotional reality of knowing the end is coming. He gets candid about his upcoming code switch to rugby union, why the Wallabies dream has never left him, and what it feels like to become a dad during the biggest transition of his career. Chad Warner joins fresh off Swans training to talk about Sydney's red-hot 2026 season, what makes the Swans culture different from any other club in the competition, and Sydney Sweeney visiting the locker rooms. We also settle the NRL vs AFL debate once and for all - who actually runs more, who works harder, and which code demands more from its athletes.
