Back for the tenth year running! The show that has become an essential part of Grand Final Week for many rugby league fans, officials and media is returning with all new songs to celebrate the anniversary. Rugby League The Musical’s 2026 Season Review and Grand Final Preview Sept 28 to Oct 3 at The Bridge Hotel Rozelle. Musician and league tragic Denis Carnahan writes and records a song every week of the footy season about the villains, heroes, controversies and outrageous pantomime of rugby league in Denis Carnahan’s Song Of The Week for ABC Sport. In his cult hit end of season live shows, he weaves these songs together as various rugby league characters, along with comic videos, to reveal the biggest narratives of the season. The result is a hilarious mix of musical satire, parody, sketch and stand up comedy presented as a cabaret, complete with complementary half time oranges! With a long history in live music and writing music for TV and advertising, Carnahan has been writing sports parody songs for two decades. It all started with the theme for The Footy Show in 2006. This launched him into writing and performing for The Footy Show, then Fox Sports, The Matty Johns Show (on 7), Triple M’s Grill Team, and for many club presentations and functions. "It is hilarious - he is an actual genius" Yvonne Sampson - Fox Sports Presenter “Insightful. He knows what goes on behind closed doors. Great Show!” Geoff Toovey – former player, coach and Rugby League Legend. "Rugby League The Musical is as ridiculously hilarious as it sounds" Anthony Sharwood - Author and Multimedia journalist “You don't need to know about Rugby League. If you've got a sense of humour, you'll love it” Chris Bath - Radio Host
