NSW Premier warns Origin villain Aaron Woods he's about to break the law after losing a shocking bet with Karl Stefanovic
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has warned Aaron Woods that he could land himself in hot water with the police over a daring bet with Today host and Queensland Maroons tragic Karl Stefanovic. The Channel Nine presenter set out the parameters of the bet last week on Triple M, stating that the man from the losing side of Wednesday's State of Origin II match would have to run along Bondi Beach in the nude. 'We're on Karlos,' Woods had agreed, but after Queensland held on to level the series with a 26-24 victory in Perth last night, Woods was facing the prospect of having to fulfil his end of the wager. However, he may now have been saved by NSW Premier, Minns, from a trip to the police station, after the politician warned that the act was highly illegal. The Premier had joined Beau Ryan, Cat Lynch and Woods on Triple M's Breakfast show to discuss Queensland's victory, but when asked by the former Wests Tigers prop if he'd like to join him running nude along Bondi, Minns replied laughing: 'No - it's highly illegal.' 'Is it?' Woods replied, to which Minns said: 'Yes, absolutely, why is this news to you guys? It's been illegal forever!' Ryan then stepped in to say that Woods was shocked when he was told by his co-hosts that the act was illegal. 'He goes: "What's illegal?" I go: "You can't be nude in public",' Ryan said. 'And he's like: "But at the beach!" I said: "It's still public. You could get arrested".' Minns then added that there were several designated nude beaches in Sydney where Woods could complete the bet without being arrested. Minns then opened up on the parameters of his bet with Queensland counterpart David Crisafulli, which would see the loser have to do a tourism advert for the opposing state. Minns told the radio show: 'Yes so the loser of the series... because we do this thing every year where you fly the flag, and it's got a bit old. 'So the loser of the series has to do a tourism AD for the winners.' Minns then revealed that if New South Wales fail to retain the shield this year, he has a clever plan to still praise his own state and even have a pop at Queensland if he has to feature in the advertisement. 'It doesn't have to be good,' he added. 'I can rip Queensland. The best thing about Queensland is that it's next to New South Wales. There's no surfing above Noosa. You've gotta drink Four X. If you think you're catching a wave in Cairns... it's not going to happen...' New South Wales had taken a 1-0 lead in the series prior to last night's match but an under-pressure Queensland side hit back with a huge victory at a rain-soaked Optus Stadium in Perth. Cameron Munster was the stand-out, leading from the front in his first Origin game as captain of the Maroons, notably scoring one try in the match. The Series will be decided on Wednesday July 9th at the Accor Stadium in Sydney. Woods, meanwhile, has been at the centre of a storm of controversy this week after he branded Queensland coach Billy Slater a 'grub'. Slater later hit back at Woods during his pre-match presser on Tuesday but was later forced to apologise after he had made a shock reference to late Maroons coach, Paul Green, who tragically died in 2022.

TV fans defensive as they 'eat up' Netflix show that's 'better than expected'
There is always a risk when Netflix decides to turn a book adaptation into a series. Fans of the original creation can sometimes become defensive when big budgets are thrown at a new show. However, in the case of Bet – which is based on a manga comic book series titled Kakegurui – the opposite seems to have occurred. Starring Miku Martineau, Ayo Solanke, and Eve Edwards, the thriller charts the journey of a Japanese transfer student who arrives at a boarding school. While there, her rare talent at gambling threatens to overturn the entire system. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

After arriving on Netflix on May 15, the show has quickly made its way into the top 10 list and has so far earned more than 3.7million views globally. And, taking to X, viewers have praised the 10-part series, with @ite0luwakiishi writing: 'I actually liked the 'bet' series on Netflix…' @mxxnlitt added: 'People complaining about the bet series on Netflix but I'm eating it up idc I get entertained by anything.' @buffylipino also posted: 'Y'all idk but the new show on Netflix 'Bet' is actually good I hope there is a season 2.' @finkerzNFT, however, said: 'Anyone watch Bet on Netflix? There's some really cool cinematography and editing, the lead did good with the material and making the character fun, but I swear the writers had to be a room full of 5 yr olds with crayons with the amount of sense it made, plot holes n contradictions.' A description of the show on Netflix reads: 'At a private school where gambling determines social status, a skillful new student with a mysterious past is shaking things up — and betting on revenge.' Simon Barry, the director and showrunner, also revealed how he took the original manga and adapted it for the series. While there has been no confirmation of a second season, fans are clearly hoping for one. This also comes after Netflix viewers rushed to binge a British thriller series about a woman who faces a romance scam. First hitting screens last year on Sky, Love Rat stars Coronation Street's Sally Lindsay as Emma, a woman dreaming of a new start after her divorce from Pete, played by Neil Morrissey. Estranged from her daughter, she decides to escape her dull life and travel to Cyprus for a holiday.
