And in today’s thrilling episode of “NRL Men With Microphones,” Aaron Woods has called Billy Slater a “grub.” Again.
Like it’s 2013. Like we don’t have rent to cry about.
Like footy drama is suddenly personality.
Woods — former Wests Tigers captain and current full-time podcaster slash nostalgia merchant — decided this week was the moment to reignite some State of Origin spice by calling the Queensland coach a grub.
Why? Because apparently Slater defended a tackle that Woods didn’t like.
And instead of texting a mate or journaling it like a normal person, he told 2GB radio.
Iconic. So now we’re here.
A grown man slinging playground insults at another grown man who literally coached Queensland to back-to-back wins and owns more abs than most players have wins.
And media outlets? Eating. It. Up.
"HE SAID WHAT?" splashed across every sports site like we’re not in the middle of housing collapse, global unrest, and a climate system that just broke BOM’s will to live.
But sure. Let’s unpack this footy feud that peaked before TikTok existed.
To be fair, Woods is no stranger to calling people grubs.
It’s his brand now. Like Bondi Boost but for boomer footy energy.
And every time he does it, we all get a little reminder that Origin week isn’t just about elite athletes smashing each other for state pride — it’s also about men over 30 settling old scores because Twitter’s character limit won’t let them finish a sentence.
Slater, for the record, hasn’t responded.
Probably too busy coaching a team or swimming laps in his own legacy.
Queenslanders are laughing. New South Welshmen are confused. And the rest of us?
Quietly wondering if this is all one long audition for a spot on I’m A Celebrity.
Look, we love a bit of Origin drama. We love passion.
We even love petty. But this? This is tired.
This is two men who peaked in different decades yelling into mics like it’s talkback for tradies.
And unless someone’s bringing receipts, a pie chart, or a slow-mo GIF — we’re done.
So Aaron, babe. Call him a grub. Call him a goat. Call him.
But unless you’re lacing up and running on, maybe let the new boys play and leave the spice to TikTok teenagers and married reality stars.
🧨 You made it to the end. now what?
Like that roast? Don't keep it to yourself.
