BIRTH of ORIGIN - Australia's best fundraiser for 2008 and 2009
Raudonikis vs. Beetson - now with comedian FRED LANG as MC/Auctioneer
Our most popular show. Hear from the first two State of Origin Captains. One in the Team of the Century and the other in the Toughest 12 ever! These two gents are not only Rugby League Legends but born entertainers and work very well together. A must see show for any League club, and a great fundraiser.
BATTLE of the CODES
Masters or Raudonikis vs. John ‘Knuckles’ Connolly or AFL Legend from our stable
The lads debate which code is going to last, the Sonny Bill saga, can the two codes merge and what they think of the threat of AFL and Soccer in Australia.
Apart from a few heated topics the boys tell some great old stories about trips across the globe (what happens on tour stays on tour?) and put to bed some local rumours!
FIBROS vs. SILVERTAILS
Tommy Raudonikis and Roy Masters
Did you see the ABC documentary? Almost 500,000 did! Do you want to hear the real unedited story? This story/show captivates Rugby League audiences across the country. Not only does it raise the topics of segregation, match fixing and aggression in sport but is full of some very light moments and some well received humour.
TALLIS vs. GEYER
Season Kick-off – QLD vs. NSW
Get these 2 on stage before they spend the rest of winter in front of the camera or behind a radio microphone. One of the greatest spectacles in Australian sporting history is the State of Origin - hear from two of its toughest combatants what it means to pull on the jumper for your state and cross that white line!
BRETT KENNY or PAUL LANGMACK or GILLMEISTER or BLOCKER or TALLIS or GEYER or SIRONEN vs. HARRIGAN
Season kick-off
Another popular show. Remember these 3 giving a barrage to Harrigan during some of the best heated Origin encounters? Bill is happy to step up to the mic and offer his side of the story, and don’t worry - the boys aren’t shy to tell us their opinion either!
COACHES FORUM
Roy Masters, Graham Murray and John Connolly (choose 2 of the 3)
Hear from a combined 50 years of coaching knowhow. Not only will the boys impart their pearls of wisdom upon your audience they will also tell you a few of the locker room stories sure to keep you entertained.
TOUGHEST 12 on TOUR
Noel Kelly, John Sattler, Raudonikis, Meninga and Gillmeister (choose 2)
These tough men of rugby league are also born entertainers – especially the likes of Tommy and Team of the Century Hooker Noel ‘Ned’ Kelly. You will love hearing stories of how the game used to be played, when men were men and synchronised swimming was when two blokes jumped off the local jetty at the same time!
WHEN 12 MONTHS OF SPORT A YEAR IS BARELY ENOUGH
Cricketer and footballer
We’ll help you piece together a show that will ensure it appeals to all your members/guests and patrons. We’ll find a footballer and a cricketer that love to tell a few yarns and work well together. Not a bad idea to put together summer and winter legends to help us recall those great sporting moments.
AFL FOOTY FEVER – WHEN TOO MUCH FOOTY IS BARELY ENOUGH!
2 AFL Legends – choose from Dermott Brereton, Billy Brownless, Dipper, John Platten, Doug Hawkins, John Elliott, Phil Carman and many others
What better way to fund your end of season footy trip than having a sporties night with 2 legends of the game? Ask the boys what happened to the Cats, was 1989 the best Grand Final ever, and will Big Barry Hall make a comeback for long?
