Making its debut on the main channel in Sydney and Brisbane
Wednesday 12 March 10:30pm
Join NRL Legend Brad Fittler, Danika Mason and NRL Immortal Andrew Johns for a unique look at all the biggest talking points of the week throughout the 2025 season.
Previously a digital only offering from Nine.
That would make for a long Wednesday for Danika Mason, given her Today commitments, though I would like to think that this show will be pre-recorded, like 100% Footy is.
Did Nine have two w/m’s for the first portion of show? Oop
Good to see this show make it to free to air… it only just dawned on me what ‘The Eighth’ in the name was all about (ie being Andrew Johns as the 8th inducted NRL Immortal). Also maybe because Brad Fittler was mostly a five eighth in his playing days as well.
From Suncorp on Monday night
Although i never watched tbe digital version of the show, from what i have seen on Nine, i like it. Very low key and simple. Reminds me a bit of Seven’s Armchair Experts (when it aired).
Simpler than the other NRL shows on Nine.
The grand final episode gets a main channel broadcast in Melbourne tonight.
NRL Legends Brad “Freddy” Fittler and the 8th Immortal Andrew Johns give their unique and lighthearted take on the week in Rugby League. Special guests, celebrity fans, viral moments and unmissable stories from their playing days are all in the mix as Freddy & the Eighth go rogue in their “no rules” weekly offering.
