The time has finally come – the 2007 NRL season is set to begin and the boys from The Footy Show are back tomorrow night at 9.30pm on Nine.
Paul “Fatty” Vautin, Matty Johns and Paul “Chief” Harragon are kicking off their 13th season, bringing rugby league lovers all the must-see footy action on and off the field on Thursday nights.
This year The Footy Show family is extending to include a revolving panel of guest co-hosts, footy players past and present. The new lineup includes Benji Marshall (Wests Tigers), Andrew Johns (Newcastle Knights), Willie Mason (Bulldogs), Mark Gasnier (St George-Illawarra) and show favourites Mario Fenech and Luke Ricketson.
First up on the panel this week are Willie Mason and injured Dragon, Mark Gasnier. Live in the studio as he prepares to make his debut for the Gold Coast Titans on Sunday will be Mat Rogers, talking about his return to league from union and how the NRL’s newest team is shaping up for the season.
After 12 years of co-hosting The Footy Show Peter “Sterlo” Sterling is moving on to focus on his heavy workload of commentary commitments as part of Nine’s blockbuster league coverage.
The boys are set to send “Sterlo” off and send him up in true Footy Show style.
All the classic segments are back by popular demand, including “That’s Gold”, all you need is a palm and a hand, and roving reports from Mario Fenech. This week “The Falcon” will report from the highly anticipated NRL season launch on the Gold Coast.
New to The Footy Show in 2007 is “Wags World”, hosted by Luke Ricketson, which promises to provide a look inside the lives of the wives and girlfriends of the footballers. “Chief” and Matty will battle it out each week with the outrageous new segment, “1 vs 1”.
This week’s daring challenge is braving the tightrope.
There will also be a new segment featuring Matty Johns’ latest alter-ego, Warren Robson “Yesterday Tomorrow’s” multi-award-winning current affairs journalist, who is set to report on the latest rugby league news and current affairs.
After The Footy Show, settle back for Friday Night Football on Channel Nine – bigger andbetter than ever this season. Nine will broadcast a double-header every Friday night including a live game from 7.30pm, starting with the Storm-Tigers game followed by the Broncos-Cowboys clash.
And Sunday, March 18 sees the return of the Sunday Footy Show at 11.00am, and Sunday Football live from 4.00pm, when the Gold Coast Titans make their NRL debut against the Dragons.

Currently the website is just a convenient place to post and collaborate on models used in fundamental equity research. Right now you can find versions of a LVLT model I am developing in the "Project" folder of that website.

What are the real implications to huge debt beyond leaving it a younger generation of tax payers? Reason I ask is that I argued with a staunch Republican after the presidential election, and he asked me "what do you care about the national debt?", guess he was referring to my age (60 +). And being Mongo (not well informed), I did not have a good answer for him.
