THE GREATEST BAMBI OF ALL TIME, UNITY TICKETS AND ROUND 21 PREVIEW | GET 'EM ONSIDE

July 23, 2025·44 min·3 clips

Joel Caine labels Alex Johnston's try-record pursuit 'the greatest Bambi of all time', igniting a fiery rebuke from Sean.

The joke police open court early. The panel wants someone with fake royal power to call time on the Coldplay meme before the last replay squeezes it flat. Joel gets thanked like a public servant. Dan cops the lemon metaphor, the milk-carton expiry date, and the verdict on anyone still running the bit back. Bear's viral ladder then gets tested. A Brian Fletcher-backed Hawk Tour nomination sounds shaky to the room because Coldplay feels like it crossed more demographics. Then the chat snaps straight into footy. Sammy Walker's broken hand becomes the hinge for a Roosters worry that is not quite blame. The right edge looks there to be worked over. Nikara's try tip, Braden Burns coming on, and Jadon Sewer's presence all land in the same messy case file. Eli Katoa is the name they keep circling. He can score off kicks, short balls, power, pace, and whatever Melbourne throw at that side. No Munster changes the shape of it. With Hughes steering more on his own, the Storm read as right-side heavy, and the panel expects traffic at the Roosters. Katoa gets called elite without anyone sounding embarrassed about it. The Warriors letting him go on unders becomes another quick roster-regret jab. Nafahu White gets his flowers too. Around game 50, he is framed as Melbourne's best forward this year and pushed into Dally M prop talk. Payne Haas still forces his way into the argument, while Joey Tarpany, White, and Haas turn the ranking into something half serious and half laughed through. The finish is ticket panic: Broncos margins, Warriors disrespect, Sharkies blowout chat, and a multi everyone knows is doomed, which somehow makes it more tempting.
