The Back Row Catchup - Triple M: Recent Episodes
Triple M
Join A.H., Kris, and Rose for the arse end of Triple M’s footy coverage, every Sunday night after the last game of the round. They’re three obsessive fans cheering different teams, different colours and different ways of life, brought together by their love of a game that constantly threatens to tear them apart. They’re here for the fans, for the players, for the game of rugby league, but most of all, they're here to keep Triple M below the salary cap. They’re The Back Row – footy from the cheap seats.
The Back Row returns to Triple M in 2018 on Saturday mornings as Weekend Legends! In celebration, we're releasing the full interview with The Grade Cricketer from our Christmas Special.
Rose and Kris padded up against The Grade Cricketer (AKA Dave Edwards, Ian Higgins and Sam Perry) just before Christmas to celebrate their delivery (geddit?) of their second novel, “Tea And No Sympathy”. Learn what it means to be “alphaed”. Why is it now an insult to be called “champ”? Why is a “rig” seemingly more important than a good “stick” to the modern cricketer?
A.H. was back in the pavilion for this one as she only wants to chat to players that have represented. Word.

It’s a Back Row Christmas Cracker Special! Crack open a bevvy, dismantle a prawn, whack on the Big Bash and dive on in. You’re welcome. Everyone loves a Big Bash; Last minute Christmas shopping – how buggered are you?; Caller Brenton’s worst Christmas gift; We chat to The Grade Cricketer; Producer Felix did not anticipate summer because he’s a dickhead, and Rose got scarred for life by a sun-safe school instructor; Rabbitohs backrower Angus Crichton had surgery to CUT HIS OWN FINGER OFF; Caller Andrew is weirdly keen to play union; ‘Tis the season for backyard cricket; Rose’s in-laws won their street’s Christmas lights competition!; The city is strewn with bikes but A.H. missed the memo: WHY DO WE HATE THE BIKES???; Caller Zac HATES THE BIKES; We catch up with Kerry O’Keefe from Triple M Cricket.
Merry Christmas and thanks for supporting us this year! We hope you find your Christmas Daddy. xx

It’s our last show of the year and we know we will be missed. See you next year, probably! We valiantly climb the matter of The Everest, a super rich horse race that won’t even gift the proletariat of Sydney with a public holiday; A.H. went to see Blade Runner Petersham and could barely contain herself – are you a talker, a shoosher, a malteser-thrower or a shut the f—k-upper?; We check in with a post-footy Maroon for some tips on surviving radio, and why he won’t miss a single member of the Triple M Call Team over the off-season; Rose’s partner Zoe did laser-tag in heels and she deserves a medal; It’s time for a Trumpdate; Kris’ mum Leonie had a bit of a fall and it turns out she’s a fiend for morphine. What better excuse to tell our own loopy hospital tales; Freddy Fittler’s laid down the law and all players for the Lebanon squad have to know the anthem, which is Very Good In Our Opinion; We chat to former NRL and Super League journeyman and Irish international player Pat Richards; The flat-earthers have done some research and come to the conclusion that Australia: fake news; The Socceroos are off to Honduras and we’re already planning our holiday.
And of course, Kris Gale’s The Bach Wrap and Back Rower Of The Week!

It’s our second last show for year and finally, after an entire season, we got a REAL Back Rower in to join us! Kris saw Blade Runner Petersham and sat through all the anti-endurance walkouts; Caller Todd walked out of Shadow Lands a decade ago and it haunts him to this day; Wests Tigers and Kangaroos back rower – and honorary Back Rower - Chris Lawrence is in the house! We chat taking hits, mental fortitude, the right man to coach the Blues, the green whistle, sleep deprivation and, uh… zombies; Big Mal’s Meats and Sauces, ‘Tongaroo’ burgers, and the power of PNG; The Bach Wrap and Kris’ campaign to overthrow Osher; Rose pitches his new video game review show; The Night Noodle Markets are back in Sydney for another year, and A.H. wishes she could still enjoy them.

We may have a fairy tale grand final on our hands, so here’s a fairy tale of a show! Rugby league is a religion and grand final rituals are set in stone. Rose yells, A.H. drinks, and Kris always goes to the ground – if there isn’t a dance music festival on the same night… Move over baby racing, and make room for goldfish racing! It’s so hot right now, and sure to create memories to keep forever; Could you bring yourself to cheer the Storm?; The Book of Mormon is opening up and we’re hearing the word of God; Poor Shano Flanagan has finally apologised. Denis Carnahan from Rugby League The Musical fills us in; Rose’s UberEats driver did him wrong; Trump v Curry v Lebron v Sport: The Miniseries; We catch up with friend of the show and Triple M Footy Voice winner, Alby Talarico! You thought we wouldn’t find a way to link rugby league and The Bacherlotte? You thought wrong, baby. We’re kicking off the campaign to get Kris on as host! What are your off-season sports? HOW DO YOU FILL THIS AGONISING VOID?; The new $10 note has one job – and it’s failing to do it. Government conspiracy? Probably!
And of course, Kris Gale’s The Back Wrap and Back Rower Of The Week!

We're coming to the pointy end of the season and we're keeping it sharp! Have yourself a merry little whinge fest; How does your team stack up on the penalty favourites list?; Snags v Pies: not an AFL game, just the biggest Aussie issue of all time; The callers call it: it's snags by a nose (or is that a snout? Depends on the brand); Coming around to President Smith and A.H.'s immediate excommunication; An apology to Warren Smith and Fred Lonergan; We did stuff this week, let us tell you about it; We're just not over the snags v pies battle yet, but now a new contender has stepped into the ring; We're just not over The Bachelor either; We're living in a zombie nation but the boys are back in town, and inspired by Woodsy we share the stories of our first loves; Much like snags beating pies, the Greatest Game Of All got the numbers up on the AFL; Looking ahead to next weekend and choosing hate over love.

It’s a Bunkerpalooza, and what should be done? Bunkered if we know. But the callers sure do;

Rose’s Bulldogs quashed A.H.’s dreams (oh, and the Dragons’ dreams as well). It’s the last show of the regular season and we’re pumped for the finals! Which will feature none of our teams! Yayyyyyy. An emotional debrief of Dragons v Bulldogs; It’s the first weekend of spring, which is nice; A Doggies tatt for A.H.? (Absolutely not.); Something Something Jarryd Hayne; Denis Carnahan with another pop hit; Triple M Sydney Music Director and Boss Lady Jacqui Kassulke shares her experience seeing a lil band called Chevy Metal; Macklemore’s playing the grand final pre-game and Alan Jones doesn’t like it, but here’s the thing: it turns out he has Rose to blame; What’s been distracting Matt Moylan?

Only one week left until the finals – rugby league Christmas! - and can you tell we just can’t wait for Santa’s visit? The Eels are So Hot Right Now, who will win and who will lose in Round 26, and what will happen to every Dragons fan’s blood pressure if Manly and the Panthers draw?; Mayweather beat McGregor and A.H. certainly didn’t arrive to the show after multiple ciders at an Irish pub; A.H. went to Shark Park And All She Got Was These Great Memories And A Football To The Face / Paul Gallen’s Kid When To Shark Park And All He Got Was These Great Memories And A Banner To The Face; Penalty tries, nudie runs and nudie trees; Fittler, Johns and Gould: the complete package?

The Bulldogs bring in a shocking win! An Uber brings in a shocking Rose! And we’re baby racing to the end of another week. The Doggies went well and Rose is happy and stuff; A.H. barely manages to string a coherent sentence together about the Raiders turning their backs on Raiders Lime Milk, such is her anger and disgust at the whole situation (including the original milk, but still); LET’S TALK ABOUT THE BABY RACE, BABY; Denis ‘Rugby League The Musical’ Carnahan has Raiders Lime Milk Memories; A.H. is still running from her vape-related debts, we all wanna buy the New Zealand Warriors, and the Rugby League Player Associations boycott threats continue; Kris went to watch that other game, the one that starts with ‘rugby’ but ends with shame; Something something Jarryd Hayne; Is Mundine coming back to play for the Dragons? What’s the age limit? Kris doesn’t believe there should be one. (He’s old).

Cayley’s back (row) and who wouldn’t be pleased about that? We check in throughout the show on media-shy Sydneysider Duncan Bannister who was, at time of recording, still running the City2Surf (for all we know he’s still hasn’t hit the finish line); Catching Up Cayley: all the things she’s missed. (Besides the boys, of course.) Tigers fan Jet calls in from the car on the way home from Leichhardt, and spoiler alert: he’s a very happy feline boy; Something something Jarryd Hayne; A.H.’s baby pigeon Titans supporter theory (that you’ve never actually seen an honest-to-God, real-life Titans supporter because they’re like baby pigeons and you know they must exist but you’ve never seen one with your own eyes) remains solid, because Rose absolutely did not meet an honest-to-God real-life Titans supporter, and another honest-to-God real-life Titans supporter absolutely does not call in; Kris and A.H. went on a brewery tour at Young Henry’s in Newtown before a Jets game and they drank very responsibly; Producer Felix got a soul patch and is now Evil Timeline Felix; Game of Microphones: who will replace Rabs? Not Graeme Hughes, if you listen to Ray Hadley (but no-one does); Gal cuts a lonely and beautiful figure of melancholy and dedication in a Shark Park ice bath at any hour he desires.

We let Rose live a little, given that the Bulldogs have uncharacteristically clocked off early this season.
He heads to Paddington Town Hall to run for mayor but, instead, is delighted to be swept into a live wrestling promotion.
He sees Will Osprey wins the PWA Championship in the flesh. Whatever the hell that means.

It's 80s Retro Round and we head into battle minus A.H. who has been feeling poorly ever since the Dragons/Steelers redefined snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last Friday night at the one true SCG.
Rose and Kris get decked out with mullets, shoulder pads and Mal Meninga eyebrows (no manscaping) and talk the good old days. The callers demand the return of leather footballs, linament, Vaseline, hypercolours and tube skirts. One listener, JR, demands the return of his hair.
We learn the sad story of Russell Crowe being refused entry to Mascot Oval because he had his blue heeler puppy, QueBlue, with him. First, Katy Perry, now this!
Rose talks Wet Wet Footy and the brave/stupid fan who suggested to Klem that he needs an offload. Didn't the fan take the tip from Laurie Daley who needed to head to his own island for 19 days, "Survivor"-style, to work out he should have spoken with Fifita, then Klemmer, up Kingscliff way?
We start the search for an Eddie McGuire for Manly to keep the hate alive. We note that the Sharks v Raiders hate is doing just fine.
And with Gavin Badger chalking up his 300th NRL game, we feature Refs Are People Too Two. However, Paul Green didn't get the memo.
The Back Row, 80s style. Mr Greenberg. Tear down that salary cap wall.

We put a line through Australian Ninja Warrior where the winner is the fact that there is no winner.
A. H. is off training for Series 2 in Fiji so Steve Mascord walks us through the link between Ninja Warrior and Shannon Noll.
Best of the losers was "Right Said Fred" Dorrington. Rebecca Maddern. We salute you!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Now, A.H. is away and Steve Mascord (author of "Touchstones", available at all sorts of bookstores now) has walked in the revolving door to help out Rose & Kris.
Steve takes on a thrill ride traversing DNA test kits as gifts, his relationship with one Andrew John Langley (a clue - it's him as well), what rugby league will look like in 100 years time, why the Brits often get our game better than the NRL and the emergence of the Toronto Wolfpack.
The boys also tackle the big questions: Are refs people too? Is President GOAT AKA Cam Smith deserving of Molly Meldrum's hat? Is D-Day looming for Des Hasler and did he star in the movie, "Empire Records"? What are the rules regarding backwards dancing and backpacks at gigs?
And your favourites are also there: Just The Tip and Back Rower Of The Week. And the Back Wrap is also there.
The Back Row. Broadcasting out of Triple M's version of The Bunker - the lights are off and we are never really home.

Whatcha reckon? The Mitchell Pearce prophecy? DJ Rose went to the dark side... er, that is - the even darker side; Rose and Producer Felix staged an on-air coup and are both now fired – but before they go, who should Felix's league team be? Carnahan joins the team, and tells us all about Rugby League The Musical (A.H.'s favourite show); Stop! Cameron Time! Raiders vs The Storm, sulky Sticky Ricky, someone's getting fired from the Storm robotics lab, and can we get a goddamn send-off over here?

Roy & HG are back next week but for now, here's three gronks giving it a red hot go. Australian Ninja Warrior: needs some better hosts, and Roy & HG are the national favourites! (We're still waiting for our call-up); Origin was devastating for Benny Elias, the state of NSW, and anyone with a heart in their chest; Liam Flanagan from the Triple M AFL Call Team drops by, a lovely times ensues; Billy Slater and Cameron Munster went off script for their Origin post-game interviews – thanks to Radio Chaser for getting exclusive audio of the media training they were supposed to adhere to; THE WORST CHOKES EVER (keep it clean, guys); For the love of God could we just get a good, decent, hardworking bacon and egg roll? Relish can get stuffed; Arsenal are in town, the Wanderers fans are on thin ice (thinner ice?), and for that, A.H. loves them dearly.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Roy & HG have ducked over to China for two weeks on an assignment that is not in any way nefarious, so logical minds pondered: who can we think of who are talented enough to fill their slot? (They never found anyone.)
And we'll be back in Roy & HG's seats this coming Saturday, 10am to midday! Kris went to the Roosters v Rabbitohs match, A.H. nearly fell asleep at her local trying to watch it, and Rose and Kris kinda just start using this golden timeslot to sledge a mutual friend that none of you guys would know, we assume; Kids sports stories! A.H.'s dad was too supportive at her childhood sports games, Rose's dad was the opposite, and A.H. is a loser who didn't even know Don Lane on a personal basis. Caller Eddie finds us on a whole other timeslot because that man never sleeps; The Bad Boys Of Tennis (the best kind). (They're rich, too.); Something about AFL, whatever; DCE is getting sad-pumped by life because our Bring Back The Manly Hate campaign has had immense success (sorry mate); One of Newtown's most beloved live music venues in now a mini golf bar, but instead let's talk about our sweet sweet memories of Ermington Putt Putt; Our NSW Blues are getting bewitched by absolute hippy hoo-ha rubbish (sorry – 'alternative medicine') but a cryo-sauna too so that's pretty cool; We grabbed Wendell Sailor right off a delayed plane ride and he was sweet enough to acquiesce. Naturally we chatted about the biggest problem with union, because any excuse to sledge will be taken.

Origin 3 is looming, but for now, here's three footy fans just trying to do their best! Rose rides in, triumphant (poor Knights); News from the Origin camps, as told to us through tea leaves and candle smoke by Boyd Cordner's hippy-woo 'doctor'; A.H. isn't allowed near high schools anymore; Our Bring Back The Manly Hate campaign is going from strength to strength and institutions have come on board; The entire population of Penrith calls in to sign up; House beats finally infiltrate the rock sanctum of Triple M; Tim Grant from the Tigers joins us live (because we know where the bodies are buried); The Back Wrap With Kris Gale (linger longer, baby) and THAT Bulldogs v Knights game; Bells and whistles for Parramatta's new stadium #ambiencetent #drinksomewater; Wade Graham: STRAP IN AND FEEL THE G's; We get sidetracked thinking about The Who because... we're all WASTED;

Introducing Mr Supra Spinatus and Rose enjoyed Glastonbury; Origin Two: Kris stole food from other fans' mouths, the University of Sydney needs to take a good look at itself, and a Rose conspiracy; Metallica, heckling, * beep * applause * beep * applause, and a renaming of Barfgate; Player movement and AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR All eyes on Fifita, McGuire, 2Pac, Biggie and Level Eleven

Something something Jarryd Hayne; Fifita's change of heart, Producer Felix's eyeballs, players with Brazilians and the black market merkin industry; Sally from No Regrets Laser Tattoo Removal takes us through the process of a Shark getting a frickin' laser beam on his... neck; Rabbitohs v Titans: Souths fans have no friends and Konrad Hurrell gets blown (up, in anger, obviously, is what we mean); Rose proposes The Festival of Origin and a two week public holiday (#votecorbyn #voterose)

It’s been an emotional week in league, and we’re going over our feelings. Tigers beat the Cowboys! Vonny chucks the best low-key sledge Jason Taylor’s way Backwards kick-offs (and we’re not talking about our show) and forward passes Seducing Cooper and Sydney v Melbs (aka champagne radio) Jerseys: Say Their Names Rose says stuff Vale, Sizzler Rose talks wrestling again

We’ve stuck around, third time’s the charm! Steelers win over the Tigers Easter show is coming up – where’s our bloody showbag? And what would go into it? Rose eats crow after last week’s sledging of his own club “The Great White Club” – maybe not the best name for an organisation in Cronulla? And what is up with MC Hammerhead? Equal rights for the women’s comp – when do we want it? Now! Superhero jerseys for the second round this season, still not so super If players were wrestling characters, what would their characters be? Andrew Fifita – most hated man in the world, apparently Rose hates it when rules still matter at the end of a game The good guy rule and Cameron (ugh) Smith Hating a team because of a mate Gal wants to punch on
And of course, Back Rower Of The Week and Just The Tip!

Bafflingly, we got a second show! Tough times for the Doggies Cleary and Des rumoured to replace Jason Taylor We debrief the matter of Wally Lewis and huffing dong Home grounds and the food of love Rose will never surrender (over his hatred of surrender tackles) Superhero jerseys, not so super Is a slap a penalty?

Someone gave three idiots a show on Triple M Sydney – let’s see how long they last. Attempts to make a good first impression Comprehensive round wrap up: St George Illawarra Steelers smash the Sharky Boys, the Raiders shoot the Tigers, Sea Eagles beat a puffed Cowboys squad at the most appropriately named stadium in the game, calls for the head of Henry Perenara after the Roosters get over the Panthers, Rabbitohs joust the Knights -- god this description is getting long, let’s wrap it up -- Titans beat the Eels, Dogs beat the Warriors, Storm beat the Broncos. Grubby behaviour and sneaky hand games Black boots, Megadeth and the fashion police Embracing nostalgia (perhaps, for some listeners, a glorious time when we weren’t on air) NSW Cup premiers Illawarra Cutters lose their name for a well-explained reason, which is: ????
And new regulars, Back Rower Of The Week and Just The Tip!
