‘This is that on steroids': Beer Footy and Food Festival returns with a bang
Jai Arrow is relieved to be one of the last fit men standing at the Rabbitohs this season, but there is one downside to his clean bill of health with the veteran forward 'filthy' that he'll miss Saturday's Beer Footy and Food Festival at Henson Park. More than 10,000 people are expected to fill out the suburban venue where they'll be treated to 30 different beer vendors, 20 food trucks, live pro wrestling and streaker bull rush as the Jets take on the Dragons in the NSW Cup. Arrow will be in Gosford preparing to take on the Sharks when the annual event gets under way, and he'll be jealous when he sees all the pictures on social media of people living it up on the famous hill. 'It looks unreal,' he said at the launch of the event as he tucked into a Japanese-Mexican fusion taco. 'I'm filthy that we're playing on Saturday night at 7.30. If it had been Friday night, it would have been ideal. 'That's what I was saying to (Sharks forward) Toby Rudolf. Both of us are playing each other this week, and we would have been here straight after the game if we were playing on Friday night. 'It looks like a really cool event. You've got the wrestlers here which I'm quite intrigued about because I know James Graham wrestled one of those boys last year at one of their big events. 'It'll be a cracking day and I'm spewing that I'm missing out on it.' Roosters lock Victor Radley is sidelined with a shoulder injury but will make the trip to enjoy an afternoon of old-school fun. 'A lot of my friends play for the North Sydney Bears, and you go to North Sydney Oval on a random Saturday or Sunday afternoon and you watch the footy and it's such a great day,' he said. 'This is that on steroids. 'It's one of the best days of the year for any footy fan.' One of the highlights of the day will be streaker bull rush, which is a spin on the old schoolyard game. Hit artist Freddy Crabs was there to explain the game at the launch and copped a few bruising shots for his troubles, including a couple of heavy hits from Roosters NRLW star Jasmin Strange. 'I'm so sore from my game on Sunday so I better post that video because my S and C (strength and conditioning) team won't be happy with me doing full contact after that,' she laughed.

NRL 2025 LIVE updates: Sandon Smith recalled as Roosters fight for top eight spot
Latest posts Latest posts 7.30pm King Ted for Dally M I declared it a while back, but who will deny Roosters fullback James Tedesco the Dally M? Early leader Luke Metcalf has gone down with a season-ending knee injury, while another contender, Melbourne fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen, continues to battle a calf injury. Can you think of anyone else in the race. That's right, I'll be waiting. In the press box. With no more food. Or water. 7.27pm No Victor Sydney Roosters enforcer Victor Radley told journalists at the Beer Footy and Food Festival launch at Henson Park he would be touch-and-go with his dodgy left shoulder – then he is not only not named, but ruled out the next month by coach Trent Robinson. If there is a silver lining with the extended time on the sidelines, it's the fact Radley can continue to work on his cognitive skills and 'work' his brai after a string of concussions. We asked the 'Enforcer' who had impressed him most this year at Easts, and he was quick to nominate Naufahu Whyte. Still on Henson Park, get down to the 'Ninth Wonder' on Saturday afternoon to watch the almighty Newtown Jets while enjoying good tucker and brew. 7.24pm Welcome to Allianz Howdy all. Welcome to the SMH blog. Who have we got tonight? The Roosters looked ready to steam over the top of Cronulla last week, then ran out of steam. They were out-muscled, and there were simply too many errors. The Storm lost at home against Manly, and now missing Nelson Asofa-Solomona (suspension), while Cameron Munster is in Queensland for his father's funeral on Friday. How many times do Melbourne drop two on the bounce? They need a win to keep their top-two hopes alive. The Chookies need a victory to keep their finals' dream alive.
