Alofiana Khan-Pereira has been at the Warriors for five months, but the star winger joins us to talk about standing in the V at Go Media Stadium for the first pre-match haka in NRL history - the goosebumps, the noise when it finished, and what it meant to a kid born in Lismore who only reconnected with his Māori side after moving to New Zealand.

Connor Watson is in studio the week Brian To'o joined the PNG Chiefs, and he's honest about what it's like watching a super club get built around you.

Tayla Montoya ambushes the boys with a round of questions, and Chris Lynn previews the first Test in Darwin in 23 years. Plus a Cathy Freeman classic from the archive, the bird watchers' return, and Joey's very expensive way of getting into his own house.

Cathy joins the Sportscafe chaos and cricket legends Merv Hughes and the late great Dean Jones in the madness.

Glenn Maxwell joins Sportscafe from Melbourne - and when the boys bring up the finger-clicking scandal that's engulfed English club cricket this week, Maxwell starts doing some maths on his own career. He's got a theory about a few dismissals in his grade cricket days...

Also this week: Calum from the Talbot Bay Birdwatching Club explains how four blokes with binoculars racked up 20 million views, we look at NZ vs. AU at the Commonwealth Games and debate the per capita table, as well as Rohan Browning's amazing comeback story.

Plus: Chris Lynn on the Broncos' brutal fortnight, Connor Watson on the boot auction, and Ric discovers a new use for the per capita medal table

George Best joins the Sportscafe couch - Manchester United, the European Cup, the 60s, and the bet he made with his mates about his right foot.
He talks about leaving Belfast at 15 and going home the next day, becoming the fifth Beatle after a night in Portugal, why he took off to America, and what he actually enjoyed most about playing. Plus a debate with Zinzan Brooke over who exactly is the best player in the world.

Victor Radley is a changed man but still manages to lead the show astray.
Victor the Inflictor joins Joey, Connor and Taylor in studio and holds nothing back: his first game co-captaining the Roosters, what it was like on the inside of THAT Origin series with Laurie Daley, the moment with Teddy he says he'll remember for the rest of his life, and why one of the NRL's most feared forwards is on the tools running a demolition business mid-season.
Also on the show - Tayla shares her emotional weekend as Marcelo Montoya calls time on his career, Chris Lynn checks in from Sri Lanka, we meet the park footy legend behind a viral AFL kick, Toolbox Talk takes on the great stadium beer injustice, and grandma on a moped might be the first ever perfect score in Sport of Social history.
