And I tell you what, you offer a 50 buck hat and you wouldn't believe the amount of questions we've got. So this is up for grabs today.
How does the anti-siphoning law affect NRL game broadcasting?
We ask for your questions on Wednesday and we have a hat.

Kenti's going to decide which is the best question for today.
How are referees chosen for important NRL matches?
Let's get it started.
What measures are in place to address CTE concerns in rugby league?
All right, Kenti, this is from Warren Turner. Why did New South Wales drop Casey Maguire from their team?
Which jerseys are considered iconic in rugby league history?
Poor old Laurie, yeah. For those who aren't in on the joke, Laurie, instead of announcing Casey McLean, he announced Casey Maguire, who played for Queensland about 15 years ago, hasn't been spotted since. Yeah, it's just one of those things. He just was heading the wrong spot. I do that myself. I always call Nathan and Ivan, get them mixed up. You always do, yeah. You know who the best one was? Peter Flingos. Remember Josh Perry, the Newcastle front-runner? Peter Flingos. He used to always write about him and call him Luke Perry from Beverly Hills.
From Beverly Hills 90210. 90210.
And to the point where it's like, mate, you've done it again. And you're like, I haven't, have I? And he just had this, there's a word for it, I should know the word for it, where people just, the brain just, it's almost like there's a fast track to that answer or that noun or word or phrase or whatever you're after. Yeah. Yeah, I do – Nathan and Ivan, I always call them the wrong way around. Were you close to Chippy? Yeah, I sat next to him. Yeah, we were – he was – mate, he was so fascinating. He was so entertaining to work with. It was really interesting because his public reputation was very different from who he was as a person. He was really engaging company. Like he was a guy you could sit with and –
just be entertained by, just with stories and just his outlook on life. And he had these phrases. He used to have all these phrases. You know, every time someone was going on holidays, he'd be like, mate, you've been around the world more times than Yuri Gagarin. You know what I mean? I mean, like... Yeah, yeah. Just things like that. Like, it was always the same. You knew it was coming. It was always the same phrase. But he... I'll tell you a funny story. Him and Kenny Callender once, when they were young kids, they went to, and Bill Morty, they went to the illegal casinos for the night. And Chippy wasn't much of a punter, but the other two were big punters. And you used to go there, and they'd let you have cab money home.
They always give you cab money home in the illegal casinos, just as a courtesy. But they didn't tell anyone that Chippy would drive, so they used to make Chippy drive. So then they'd get their cab money. So then they'd walk out, they'd come back in, they'd bet their cab money. And one day, he used to try and use his cab money for fuel because he lived out Bankstown way. Anyway, they got the money off him. They had to push the car into the service station. But yeah, that was the good old days. John talks a lot about illegal casinos. They were big. Massive. Mate, they're just around the corner. There's about three of them just around the corner. Yeah, right. There's one in Forbes Street. There's one in Goulburn Street.
What was the other one? Club 21. They're all just around here. Jack used to work on the two-up school. Jack Gibson used to work on the two-up school. Why didn't they get busted? Because they paid the coppers to stay away. Yeah, well. Per Scalia, he ran them all. Well, not all, but he had his thing. It was all divided up. There's still one old bloke still running around now. He doesn't do this anymore, but he's a friend of mine. Of course. Of course. He's a good old fellow, but honestly, he can sit there and... Talked to you all night about stuff that used to go on the casinos. They used to – he had a casino. This one was in Balmain. And the coppers used to ring up and over the phone would bet on black or red at the roulette table.
Oh. It's a true story. True story.
