Listen "Billy Burns: It took me about 5 minutes to realise I was playing a semi final"
Episode Synopsis
Cronulla produced a powerful performance to end the campaign of Minor Premiers Canberra with back rower Billy Burns (34:32) scoring an all-important try. It's been quite the season for a player who was released from the Dragons and wasn't sure if he would keep playing. Now he's in a Preliminary final which, as he told Quentin Hull and the team, is a shock because he could scarcely believe he was playing finals while he was on the field in the Elimination Final against the Roosters. Meanwhile incoming Newcastle coach Justin Holbrook (1:20:07) explained what appealed to him about the Newcastle job, why he's pleased to have Dylan Brown on a 10 year contract and his preliminary chats with Kalyn Ponga. Plus John Gibbs chats to Bulldogs legend Chris Anderson (2:10:56) about his team's 1995 Grand Final win and you can hear Six Again (10:42) and First Thought (44:30). And Ruan Sims (3:00:56) announces the winner of this years...Ruan Sims Medal.
