We’re talking embracing LGBTIQA+ sport, support for our NRL/NRLW athletes, Cooking With Luke and VicHealth says no to vaping

Welcome to Game On! JOY 94.9’s Home of Sport every Tuesday from 7-8pm where you’ll hear where you can get your game on! Where you can join a community, make connections and then head out for a cocktail or a mocktail! Because it’s not all about the sport! And we’ll also be setting you up for sporting success by covering nutrition, fitness and mindset.

On the show tonight, we are joined by Andrew Steers, Vice President Perth Rainbow Swans Swimming Club to share the awesome fun Andrew is having as a member of the LGBTIQA masters swimming group. But Andrew’s not limiting himself to one club – he’s loving the Perth Spectres (basketball) and Shooting Stars ( mixed netball). (Starts 2:30)

Luke Hines, qualified Functional Nutritionist, Health Coach, author and tv host joins us to talk macros, clean eating and how to lose those pesky Covid kilos. Want to lose five kilos in five weeks? Have a listen to how it’s done and enjoy living your best life recreating the delicious and deliciously easy meals during the next season of Cook with Luke on Network 10. (Starts 10:25)

We gain a greater awareness of the National Rugby League (NRL) Stand With Us campaign chatting with Jamie Buhrer, RLPA Player Operations Manager, at the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) and learn more about the concerted efforts to achieve a fair and reasonable collective bargaining agreement.

Players from all 27 NRL and NRLW clubs, ranging from Board Directors and Delegates to rookies and 300 gamers including Karina Brown and Daly Cherry-Evans stand together to encourage the ARL Commission and NRL back to the negotiating table on fair terms. Check out the player video for a greater understanding of the issues. (Starts 22:14)

We are joined by Kris Cooney, Executive Manager: Policy, Strategy and Impact Group – VicHealth to talk vaping – the status, the dangers and the future. The vaping and tobacco lobby have successfully pushed the claim that vaping is “95% safer” than smoking. Cancer Council research reveals that one in five Victorians believe e-cigarettes do not contain dangerous chemicals, despite vapes carrying more than 200 toxic ingredients. Take a look at the See through the haze campaign and hear how VicHealth is helping Victorians stay safe and stay healthy. (Starts 34:00)

A big thank you to all of our guests for their support of an inclusive and supportive sporting culture and mindset so that everyone can enjoy getting their game on!
