Episode Transcript

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome to the Inca here in podcast.

the-incoherent-podcast_ (00:24):
Welcome back to episode five of the
Incoherent Podcast.
Joined again by Zach and Hooverand pretty big grand final.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (00:33):
It wasn't a bad, grand final,
actually.
Can't complain about the winnersor losers.
Really.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (00:39):
No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (00:40):
we can still complain about the
winners.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (00:43):
I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (00:44):
Still Brisbane.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (00:45):
I said to Zach before, the only
thing that Mars is that Walshgot off with that shoulder
charge, and then ERO got sentand it was pretty much the same
thing.
that's the only thing that sortof puts a bit of a dash on it.
But other than that, in thesecond half, the Broncos just
had way too much momentum tostop.
PPEN, Hausen and all that, weremaking breaks up the side and

(01:07):
that, just making mistakes sothey get a couple of those
passes off to where they neededto and it probably changes the
whole outcome anyway.
especially with Reynolds andHunt going off the way they did.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (01:19):
They

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (01:19):
They weren't scoring again.
Once Hunt went off, they weren'tscoring again.
And that's what I sent to Zach.
That's, they're just gonna haveto defend now, or that's all
they could do.
They couldn't do anything else.
MIM could probably do a littlebit, but I don't think they'll,
I don't think they would've comeback if the storm had have score
a try,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (01:38):
I think a big turning point for
Melbourne was losing how thecenters and wish I'd having to
play out a position.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (01:46):
I, I think the same thing once we
ARD went in there.
It's probably the only time I'veseen him outta his comfort zone.
But he is not really a centerthough, is he?
So he normally gets hidden in,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (01:58):
caught defensively out there.
having that the winger on is theoutside not having that bit of
protection.
But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (02:05):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (02:07):
yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (02:07):
Well that's, that's the thing, isn't
it?
So it it, it probably would'vebeen a little bit different if
he doesn't go off.
I think so, yeah.
But other than that, it was agood grand final and Walsh
probably did deserve it becauseof the way he played.
But I still, I still think hedeserved the sim bin.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (02:26):
A hundred percent he did.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (02:28):
Yeah.
He, he deserves something otherthan, I think it was a$3,000
fine or$1,800 fine or somethinglike that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (02:35):
Yeah.
Only if he pleaded guilty.
If he forwarded it's a two matchbin, you're gonna take the fine
any day.
He is not gonna miss round one.
He can go play for Australia.
But Ero,, he is looking ateither a two match band or a
three match band.
Depending on whether he pleadsguilty, which he probably will
because it was pretty obviouslythat he hit him.

(02:56):
I was scream at the tv.
You can't send him if you didn'tsend Walsh.
But

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (03:00):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (03:01):
it's just, it's been a good final
series.
But that, that penalty in theRaiders game that saved them at
the end of the game.
And then the sea players gettingtaken out.
Pap haen getting taken out theother day without the ball late
and, which is a lot worse hitthan what the whole thing was.
So it's there's, it makes youwonder a little bit.

(03:23):
I think so.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (03:25):
Even the commentator said Brisbane
had two shoulder charges to thehead.
Nothing happened other than a onreport and penalty.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (03:37):
Yep.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (03:37):
as the storm player does it gone 10
minutes.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (03:41):
Yep.
Yeah.
it was at the end of the gameand it didn't really matter, but
it takes away that consistency.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (03:47):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (03:49):
Yeah.
Like I said, you before, ifWelsh does get sent, I don't
think Melbourne lose.
I think.
They keep that momentum, theyscore another try.
Brisbane, don't score that.
Try.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (04:02):
Yeah.
Well, Melbourne, Adam under thepump.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (04:06):
even Ezra mam, you've got Ben Hunt,
Adam Reynolds sitting on thebench on the sideline injured
Ezra Mam should have been sentfor his late shot from behind
the back of the head.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (04:19):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (04:20):
And then that really stops all of
Brisbane's momentum from there.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (04:25):
Yeah.
And I fell in that second half.
They could have probably usedMunster and Hughes a little bit
more.
'cause Hughes was up and readyto go.
I just don't think they fed himthe ball enough.
I dunno if that's throughBrisbane's defense or anything
like that, which, Walsh's Trisswere unbelievable.
Really.
Do I, I don't think it's they'vebeen saying where they've said

(04:46):
that there was the bestindividual performance in a
grand final.
I, I think it was good, but itwasn't, Andrew John's been
Kennedy coming out and hadblinders in 2001, so I don't
think it's the best, but it's upthere.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (05:04):
Oh, it'd be

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (05:05):
he deserved to get it, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (05:07):
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (05:08):
did, like he

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (05:08):
No, he deserved the Clive Churchill.
It just sucks that he probablyshould have been sent off, which
would've stopped him fromgetting it.
And then the next best onewould've been, had a really good
game as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (05:19):
who also probably should have been
sent off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (05:21):
Yeah, well,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (05:22):
it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (05:23):
that's right.
I think they left Hass off alittle bit too long, to be
honest.
Or maybe it was just a masterstroke.
Keep him fresh.
But I thought he had a prettyquiet game for his standard, to
be honest.
He didn't really stand out.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07 (05:35):
thing.
The commentators half this, halfthat.
He was quiet.
He was very quiet.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (05:40):
he, he was very quiet.
I think they, they kept him atbay.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (05:45):
Tony made what?
Two line breaks couple tacklesand they praised him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (05:50):
He was pretty quiet as well.
It de it was definitely theReese Walsh show, and probably
that little bit of experienceand direction from Reynolds
while he was on the fieldprobably helped.
His goal kicking definitelyhelped.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (06:01):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (06:02):
that little bit of goal kicking that
he did.
but you know what, I'm, I amhappy for has, and I'm happy for
Ben Hunt.
'cause they're probably twoplayers that do deserve to win a
grand final.
I'm, I'm pretty happy for them.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (06:14):
pat Carrigan,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (06:16):
Yeah.
Carrigan.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (06:17):
and I, I was reading something the
other, I think it was yesterdayand Pat Carrigan was at the last
Grand Final that Brisbane won.
for him to win it, and both of'em coming through as juniors
and they both pledged to staywith Brisbane and win on the
Premiership,

the-incoherent-podcast (06:38):
because, has, and Hass and Carrigan were
both in the team that won thewooden spoon too.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (06:41):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (06:43):
and, and it was, it was actually
pretty good from Reynolds tobring, Walters up with him on
stage.
'cause he doesn't get a ring orany recognition for the grand
final, but he's a big part ofthat team, which is probably
under underestimated that heactually did that to it for him.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (06:58):
Yeah.
But I think they, I think theyget a couple of spare rings for
players like that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (07:06):
I was saying, I was saying the
other day that he won't get one.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (07:09):
yeah, I thought a

the-incoherent-podcast (07:10):
Remember when JT

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (07:11):
ago.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (07:12):
Steve Price his, because he couldn't
play as the exact same thing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (07:15):
Yeah.
But I thought they

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (07:16):
He didn't get one.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (07:17):
after that.
I thought I read a couple yearsago that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (07:20):
Oh, you might be right.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (07:22):
get a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (07:22):
Those things, those things don't get
noticed a lot.
But I thought it was pretty goodall up, to be honest.
It wasn't, I wasn't the best,but it wasn't the worst, so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (07:35):
yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (07:36):
Yeah.
and on the back of that, they'vegot, the Australian team that's
been announced.
It's changed since it was firstreleased a little bit because
you know, Brad that's come innow, Josh.
it's not, it's not a badAustralian team.
A lot of debut ones.
What is a, so there's eightdebut ones for Australia in that

(07:57):
squad.
Whether they all actually get todebut, we'll have to wait and
see.
But because it's a three gameseries, you'd think you'd just
play your best team unless youwon the first two and then
wanted to give them a run in thethird game, but can't see many
changes unless through injury.
I

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (08:16):
Well, who runs number 14?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (08:18):
did.
I think that did and will be the14th.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (08:21):
it's dear nor Moses.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (08:23):
I don't think you, you can't play
Moses anywhere other than theHARs where Den, you can put him
in lock, you can put him in thehalves.
There's a lot more movementthere.
You can move Monster back tofullback, put Den into six Pro,
probably put din into nine ifyou needed to as well.
I don't think you can do thatwith Moses.
I think Moses is just purely ahalfback where he can play six

(08:46):
next to Cleary.
they were talking about that theother day on the Grand final
show about whether or not, MitchMoses had get picked and,, they
pretty much said the same thing.
It's a waste taking him overthere.
'cause he can only play thosepositions.
And I think they're right insaying that.
Ethan and Strange is a prettygood one for a reward type
thing, but it's the same sort ofthing.
I don't know where else you playhim.

(09:07):
You might be able to put him atfullback, but

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (09:09):
yeah, but e and Strange has got that
big enough body.
He could play at 13,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (09:16):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (09:16):
wanted to go for a ball playing lock.
I think if the, the series islocked up two nil after two
games or then you'll seeprobably Moses go to seven,
you'll

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (09:27):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (09:28):
strange basic six and they, they will
rest those few players and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (09:34):
yeah, yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (09:36):
But.

the-incoherent-podcast_ (09:37):
They've only got the one Hooker in Harry
Grant.
Well, no, they've got, BlakeBraley as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (09:41):
Braley.

the-incoherent-podcast_ (09:42):
there's probably a lot in there that are
well earned this year, to behonest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (09:46):
So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (09:46):
So.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (09:47):
but even just, yeah, going over just
as a reward for having a goodseason, getting him in amongst
that environment.
Like for somebody like EthanStrange, that's,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (09:59):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (10:00):
be a big plus for him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (10:01):
I think that's a good upside as
well.
Yeah.
What are you happy with Uber,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (10:07):
Well, who do you run as fullback?
Do you run Dylan or Rece?

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (10:11):
Reese?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (10:11):
I, I think Reese Walsh has won it.
He's got that spot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (10:15):
I think, I think he's earned that
spot too,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (10:18):
Edwards

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (10:19):
sucks.
Dylan Edwards hasn't doneanything wrong.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (10:22):
No, he hasn't done anything wrong
this year.
Probably wasn't his best.
I think there was a lot of timesthrough the year he did look
tired

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (10:31):
Yeah, but I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (10:32):
there'd been like, and that was Penrith
across the board.
they'd been so high for so long.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (10:38):
yeah, that's what I was about to say.
Be the Tahoe Loophole because heis so good that you don't even
notice that he's still reallygood because you're just used to
him being good all the time thatkind of forget that he's above
everyone else.
That's why with the winger ofthe ear and stuff, it's he's a
victim of his own success sortof thing, so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (10:59):
But yeah, I think Reese Walsh, he's
last sort of five, six weeks offootball's earned him that spot
at one,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (11:10):
What do you think the Australian team
is gonna look like?
Walsh at one

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (11:15):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (11:16):
and then probably Zo be on one wing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (11:21):
no one can need to ask, eh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (11:23):
Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (11:23):
Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (11:24):
Uh, do you reckon they go,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (11:26):
That shi

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (11:28):
you reckon she'll be on a wing?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (11:32):
nah, I don't think on the wing.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (11:34):
I think I do.
Car's probably gonna get the runon the wing unless I'm missing
somebody on here.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (11:39):
Well, your, your centers would be Brad
and Best and Tony Staggs.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (11:43):
Do you reckon?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (11:45):
Yeah.
I reckon them two.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (11:47):
Xavier Coates probably gets the wing
spot.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07 (11:50):
Xavier codes has been ruled out, so
Xavier Codes and Zach Lomax havebeen ruled out.
That's why Atkar and Brad bestare being brought into the team.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (12:00):
Uh, Right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (12:03):
I reckon they'll end up going.
Um,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (12:04):
Why, why,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (12:06):
best

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (12:07):
why do they

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (12:07):
hasn't played in five weeks.
Hey.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (12:09):
Brad and Best in as a, he's a center.
Both wingers have been ruledout.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (12:15):
Well, Zach Lomax could play center as
well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (12:19):
Yeah, maybe Zaki plays on the Wing and
Bradman best in Yeah, I think, Ithink Hoover's right.
I think it'll be best in stagsin the centers.
They both play on those sides,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (12:35):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (12:36):
so, and then I reckon she, bki iss
gonna be on the wing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (12:40):
I will just, Dylan Edwards get a
wing spot.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (12:42):
Well, that was the other option too.
Yeah.
Dylan Edwards on one of thewings,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (12:47):
I, I reckon she bki, but could be
right?
Um, he is playing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (12:53):
Oh, Tino.
And if it's me picking it, I'mprobably going with Jacob
Preston

the-incoherent-podcast_ (13:01):
Preston up front.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:02):
no?
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-0 (13:03):
Lindsay

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:04):
Yeah.
No.
Lindsay Collins.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (13:06):
yeah.
Jake and Preston probably gets astart in the back row.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:10):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (13:11):
I think he's done enough this year
to earn that.
He's probably one of the bestback rowers going around at the
moment.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:18):
Would you go Criden or Hudson Young

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07 (13:21):
Hudson Young.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (13:22):
or Colin?
A tongue.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:25):
No, I think Ong because he had that
big injury through the year, Ithink he gets a bench spot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:32):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:33):
But I think, yeah, him and Angus
both, both play off the bench,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:39):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:40):
so, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (13:41):
then yo yo will be the

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (13:43):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:43):
got Ruben.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-0 (13:44):
because he is a captain.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (13:45):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (13:46):
got Ruben Cotter there as well.
That could play up front or inthe back row.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (13:50):
well, you'd bring Ruben Carter off the
bench.
He'd have to, he'd have to comeoff the bench'cause he's an
impact player.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (13:58):
Unless you put Cotter in there.
Because Preston's debut.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (14:02):
Well, do you reckon Tino will actually
get a start?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (14:05):
Yeah.
He'll start up front.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (14:08):
He hasn't done anything all season,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (14:11):
He plays for the Titans.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (14:14):
but you look at all those other
names there, done so much morethan him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (14:20):
I think he plays on reputation, to
be honest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (14:22):
it's a hard one.
Harry Grant plays nine.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (14:25):
Yeah.
Did and has to be the 14.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (14:29):
yeah, if, if did well, if Cleary plays
and did 14,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (14:37):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (14:37):
not, like, if it's me, I'm probably
given did and nod.
If Cleary doesn't play, I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (14:46):
I, I, I can't see why Cleary
wouldn't play unless he wants arest, but they haven't played
this Ashes series in a longtime.
I know.
That's why Tino put his hand upfor it.
'cause it hasn't been played ina while and he's got unfinished
business with the kangaroos

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (15:03):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (15:03):
Walsh Ze Best Aggs Zaki or, Edwards,
Munster Cleary,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (15:13):
Yeah.
Mun Cleary.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (15:15):
Tina Grant, Collins Preton Hudson
Young and was a,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (15:19):
Yeah, that'd be, I think be a pretty
close to.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (15:24):
it's a very different team from the
last time Australia run out.
I think

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (15:28):
Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (15:29):
but it should be good.
I'm actually kinda lookingforward to it, but shit that the
timing's gonna be crap overhere.
But yeah.
And I did see him say today thatthey're definitely playing the
World Club Challenge as well,Next season.
So it'll be a long year for, theBroncos I'm guessing.
So you just reckon you just canfit the nines back in to the

(15:51):
season, or you think that's justdone and dusted?
You can't fit it in.
I think it's done.
I don't think you can do it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (15:57):
it was good.
And think if they were to dosomething about it, to bring it
back in, you could have it likeyour, your New South Wales, like
your feeder feeder clubs playingit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (16:13):
Well, they have the nines premier
league that they play every yearnow.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (16:17):
the one, like those teams that are,
like those players that are onthe cusp of first grade, they're

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (16:24):
that was the good thing about nines
is that they played people thatwere up and coming that you got
to see play.
Like Bevin French got his namefrom the nines

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (16:32):
well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (16:33):
and then a few other players that's
Ponga.
Yeah.
Stood out in the nines.
It's an opportunity to have allthose players there and Yeah.
But, well, it's been a good yearfor the NRL anyway for some of
us, so, yeah.
What else did you just get up toon the weekend?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (16:52):
on March a bit of bit of Stan.
I, been watching a show calledJustified.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (17:00):
Uh,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (17:01):
Us Marshall, not much sport,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (17:05):
I watched, the Australia Cup.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (17:08):
court glimpses of it.
Seen a few interviews from theNewcastle players

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (17:14):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (17:15):
it's good to see the jets back up
there.
I guess it's the HunterValley's.
It's been a while since they'vehad something to really cheer
for.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (17:24):
How much of an indication do you
think that the Australia Cupgives for a NA League season?
You reckon it's a goodindication or'cause it is played
outta season for them?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (17:34):
Yes, it's, I mean, it's, they play a
lot of, again, a lot of playersthat are on the cusp of playing

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (17:44):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10 (17:44):
A-League.
went towards the back end ofthe, the cup.
They tend to pay a lot moreA-League players'cause everyone
wants to win that check.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (17:55):
yeah, yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (17:57):
yeah, I've, I've seen in the past
where those that have gone closeto winning the, the straight cup
and those that have actually wonit, they've gone nowhere near
making the top five day league.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (18:10):
Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (18:11):
It was a good game, but I'd
actually watched oh, bit beforethe, first half ended, and then
I watched the whole second half.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (18:22):
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (18:22):
it wasn't a bad game.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (18:24):
no, it was a pretty good game.
So I was watching the, rugbyunion and the soccer at the same
time.
I had the Jets game on me phoneand I was watching the rugby on
the tv and I was paying heapsmore attention to the Australia
Cup game than I was the, rugby.
It was just more intriguing.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025 (18:42):
I only, I only watched most of the
soccer because it was on, in theroom that I was in, but when I
was walking through, the rugbywas on the other room

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (18:52):
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (18:53):
and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (18:53):
yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (18:54):
it, it was an actual good game.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (18:57):
The soccer.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (18:58):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (18:59):
Yeah, I think Heidelberg were, were
robbed to be honest.
'cause yeah, I think they shouldhave got a penalty at the end of
the first lot of extra time.
There was probably a penaltythere at the start of the game
as well, but I think they canhold their heads high.
they've gone all the way throughto the final, there's a
semi-professional team and keptthe jets to only one, to one all

(19:20):
to go into extra time to beginwith, which is, you know, a
pretty good feat.
And it, it, it could have wenteither way and I didn't really,
Hey.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (19:29):
they didn't even really run outta
gas.
I think it was just experienceat the end of the day.
Really?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (19:35):
yes and no.
I think a few calls went theJet's way that probably
shouldn't have that.
Probably evened it up a littlebit.
The two red cards probably don'treally make any difference
because they're, they both got'em pretty much at the same
time,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (19:49):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (19:50):
but I think, I think they'd done
pretty well and I didn't realizeuntil I was watching it the
other day.
'cause I don't, I, I've followedsoccer, but I've never delved
into the whole thing of it.
I never realized thatHeidelberg, if they won that
game, they play in the AsianChampions League and then if
they win the, if they wentthrough and won the Asian
Champions League, they couldplay in the World Club World Cup

(20:12):
or the Club World Cup.
Yeah, I didn't realize that.
And the last time that asemi-professional team did that
was 2001 with South Melbourneand they played like Newcastle
United and stuff.
I thought that was just a reallycool thing that I picked up that
I never knew, I never knew thatyou could go through as like a

(20:34):
local team that could go and bethe best team in the world in a
way.
Obviously it's only in theory,it's probably not practical that
it had actually happened, but Ithink they can hold their heads
higher.
Would they beat three A-Leagueteams to get there?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (20:47):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (20:48):
Yeah, I think, I think it'll be just a
matter of time and you'll haveone of those semi-professional
teams or, probably will win itone day.
To be honest, I was actuallyquite impressed with how well
they played up against aprofessional team.
I wouldn't have expected, like Iknow they beat other a League
League teams, but yeah, Ithought they did pretty well and

(21:09):
I definitely, definitely, myfavorite part was probably
Friar's goal.
He, he absolutely nailed that.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (21:15):
Was

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (21:15):
and for a kid that's been out with
injury and only just come backand that's his first game back
after a long stint on thesideline and I thought it was
pretty, pretty good.
as for the rugby, I haven'twatched a full game of rugby in
a while and a fair bit's changedwhen I, I've watched it.
I thought it was a little bitmore exciting than what it
actually was like.

(21:36):
It is.
'cause I sort of understand whatthey're trying to achieve and
stuff like that.
But it just, I don't know.
A bit hard to watch a littlebit.
I think so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (21:47):
I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (21:47):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (21:48):
the hardest thing about rugby is I
grew up

the-incoherent-podcast_ (21:52):
Telling your parents you play rugby.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (21:54):
nah, growing up during that, that
really good period

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (22:01):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (22:02):
yeah.
Yeah.
Australia was just.
Nobody wanted the players.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (22:06):
No,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (22:07):
So now it's hard to watch because
it's so few and far betweenwinds for Australia.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (22:15):
yeah.
I just found it.
It's really,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (22:18):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (22:19):
it's really stop start.
There's no depth to it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (22:22):
you probably

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (22:23):
Just,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (22:23):
that as much when they're scoring
points of winning

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (22:26):
yeah.
Well, that's probably true too.
The one thing that I didsurprise me though, was that
freaking one of them got sentoff because he had a head clash.
And they were trying todetermine whether it was a
yellow or a red card.
I thought that was a bitstrange.
But at the same time, rugby haveweird rules.
if you, if you, intentionallyknock the ball down in an
intercept, that's a penalty tothe team that had the ball and

(22:49):
you can't throw it over thesideline accidentally or on
purpose, that's a penalty.
yeah, I think it's just therules of rugby can get really
confusing and I think that'swhat makes it so hard to watch
as well.
it's sort of the same thing, Ithought I'd seen 20 knock ons
there and they've said nothingabout it.
And then I'm do they even haveknock ons in rugby anymore?

(23:10):
And then they did knock it on.
I was probably confused morethan anything, but I'm gonna try
and watch more of it.
And maybe it was just a one offthing anyway, Yeah.
Australia got up over the Kiwisin the cricket, the T twenties,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (23:24):
Yeah, they've announced, announced
there one day in T 20 teams aswell for the upcoming series.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (23:33):
Yeah.
When's that get played?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (23:35):
it's not that far away, but then, I
don't know, I don't, I don'tthink India's name in a full
strength squad, in my opinion,You got Boomer not playing in
the one days, but then he isplaying T 20 and he's, so yeah,
dunno.
That'll be interesting seriescoming up and then obviously the

(23:57):
Ashes.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (23:59):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (24:00):
Um, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:03):
yeah.
I keep confusing myself becausethere's the rugby league ashes
this year, and then there's thecricket world as ashes as well,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (24:08):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (24:09):
so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (24:09):
we create one.
We can go and watch that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:13):
Yeah, you are going to the ashes in
the boxing day, aren't you?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (24:16):
Yeah.
Boxing Day tests this year,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:19):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Need that Uber?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (24:23):
Nah, not really.
I don't mind watching thecricket.
I don't get involved in it toomuch, but.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:28):
Yeah, it's all, I big bash it around
the corner

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (24:31):
Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (24:32):
as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (24:32):
pretty good record of playing cricket.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025 (24:35):
I sure do.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:36):
Would you play one game?
One or something?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (24:38):
No, no.
I've got a good bowling record,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (24:41):
Hmm?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (24:42):
eh, one wicket.
But they did get 36 off it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (24:48):
All sixes?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (24:49):
but the main thing is I got a
wicket.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (24:52):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (24:53):
He, he had fun.
He, he got a participationwicket.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (24:57):
I reckon.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (24:59):
at the end of the day, that game,
we end up going to backyardrules.
One hand, one bounce.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (25:06):
Oh really?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (25:07):
you had to go get the ball yourself.
Everything.
'cause we wanted to come backand watch Zach play.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (25:12):
Yeah.
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (25:15):
Better bowling record than Jonesie.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (25:17):
Yeah, that's exactly right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (25:19):
He'd bowl spin.
'cause he didn't have to run sofar, wouldn't you?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (25:22):
yeah.
Underarm.
Few Mul, Grubers.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (25:27):
Yeah.
Well, in the NFL there was a fewupsets this week actually.
So the Ravens went down to theTexans 44 to 10, but they're
also missing majority of theirplayers,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (25:43):
It's upset at the flogging.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (25:45):
Oh, I'm upset at the fogging, don't
you worry.
the Buffalo Bills went down tothe Patriots, which wasn't
really expected, and then theJacksonville Jag was beat the
Chiefs 31 28.
So I, started watching that gametoday at work, but probably the
most standout thing is that thecults are undefeated and they
beat the Raiders 40 to six.

(26:06):
yeah, been a couple of upsets inthe, in the NFL as well, and
threw my tips out that I wasdoing really well with.
yeah, that's a bit, a bit sad.
yeah.
so this week, well last week wasgrand final week, which means
that this week's Bathurst week,he's excited for Bathurst.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (26:25):
No,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (26:26):
It is not,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (26:26):
I,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (26:27):
not the same anymore.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (26:28):
Why do you supposed to say that?
That's fine.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (26:31):
no, it's really not.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (26:33):
Oh, is is it because they're holding
them forward?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (26:35):
that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (26:36):
That's what Zach said.
No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (26:37):
that's what Bathurst is about.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (26:39):
Oh, it's not about that at all.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (26:41):
is,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (26:42):
It's not, and I can tell you because
I've got a little bit of historyabout what Bathurst actually is,
and it's not about Ford andHolden at all.
I

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (26:50):
It's Ford versus Holden, not Ford,
not Jev versus Mustang, versusToyota versus Nissan and Nessen

the-incoherent-podcast (26:59):
Toyota's not there yet until next year.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (27:02):
year.
But.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (27:03):
well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (27:03):
So

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (27:05):
in another five years time, you're
gonna be watching Teslas drivearound Bathurst 1000.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (27:09):
won't see Teslas driving around
Bathurst

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (27:12):
Why not?
Everything's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (27:13):
you won't, you won't see it.
It'll, they'll still keep

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07 (27:17):
versus those, what are they bys?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (27:20):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcas (27:21):
probably.
So it all started in 1960 as thePhilip Island 500 mile race.
And then they moved in 1963 toBathurst as a 500 mile race, and
it got extended to a 1000kilometer race in 1973.
And it was conceived as anendurance test for everyday road

(27:42):
cars, which it isn't now.
So they've changed over toproduction race cars.
They're not everyday cars likethey were supposed to.
Obviously Peter Brox won themost with nine wins.
300 kilometers the fastest.
Hey,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (27:59):
What was he driving?
You?
Driving Holden.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (28:02):
yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (28:03):
Is a bit Holden versus Ford.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (28:06):
The fastest fee down Conrad's 300 Ks
moot has the fastest lap in asupercar at one minute, 59.8,
and Scott McLaughlin had afaster lap, but it got scrubbed
due to an engine penalty.
The fastest outright is in an LDRA at one minute, 59.2.

(28:30):
And the quickest race, thequickest time that the race was
finished was actually last yearat five hours and 58 minutes.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (28:36):
Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (28:37):
So nowhere in there does it say
that.
It's just Holden versus Ford.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (28:42):
what was it when you were growing up?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (28:45):
Hey,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (28:45):
how, how many years was it Holden
versus Ford?
Buck?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (28:48):
oh.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (28:49):
It's all what Australian v eights is
about.

the-incoherent-podcast (28:52):
Probably not as long as what you think it
was because there were skylinesand all sorts of stuff before
that all started.
you know,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (28:58):
all I can imagine now is when
electric cars start coming down,Conrad straight and get a flat
battery.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (29:04):
I'll see what I can find.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (29:06):
Uh, just, it's not right.
The Bathurst 1000 is Ford vHoldens.
It's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (29:17):
I, I think you're wrong, but I also
like, yeah, so it defined, itdefined the race for six, over
six decades.
I.
Six decades that it was Holdenversus Ford sort of thing, but
they were still in there.
But they had other manufacturersin there as well.
Like,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (29:34):
but at the end of the day, that race
is predominantly Fords andHoldens.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (29:41):
but that's not, that's what I mean.
That's not what it was designedfor.
It's supposed to be everydayroad cars and then they test
themselves.
It's just the most popular roadcars at like for a period of
time were Ford and Holden andthey were the suppliers for the
V eights.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (29:57):
Yeah, but those, those cars are so
popular because of the v eights.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (30:03):
Yeah, I know, but

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (30:04):
SLA

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (30:05):
He,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (30:06):
they have a chance.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (30:08):
If you could buy a Formula one car
because of how popular FormulaOne is, people would do that
too.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (30:15):
Yeah, well, they probably would, but.
I dunno, I don't know.
Things like this have to evolveand I'd actually like to see it
just change to an outright GTrace rather than whatever it is
now, just so it can, I'd like tosee more manufacturers in rather

(30:36):
than FRI seven forward, to behonest.
I know super is coming next yearwith Toyota, which I'm kind of
excited about, but you know,you're seeing'em with Mercedes
and Nissan that they didn'tstick around too long and I
think it's just, they don'twanna put the money into it, to
be honest.
You've always got

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (30:54):
is it gonna be, is it gonna be
advantage of all the differentshapes of the cars?
Because when it was Ford versusHolden, they pretty much ran the
same shells.
Now with Toyota and all that inthere, they're all not gonna run
the same shells.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (31:12):
no, and I don't think they need to I
don't know.
I, I think they need to changeit a little bit.
I think what's killed thesupport behind, it's when they
switch most of the races over toKao.
I know a lot of people thatwon't buy Kao'cause that's all
they'll watch.
They don't wanna watch all theother sports and can't see the
justification of paying for it.
And there's not that many onfree to air.

(31:33):
I haven't watched Free to AirEights or Supercars in ages.
I watch the Supercars everychance that I get.
I, I actually really likewatching them watching the
Supercar race, but I still thinkthat, well they tried changing
it this year'cause they've got afinal series and all that, which
is more NASCAR based.
I don't actually understand howit works, but.

(31:57):
I think they do need to changetheir sort of format in a way to
bring back popularity becausethe 12 hour Bathurst is gaining
more popularity and that's justGT cars.
So, and I've said before, I'm,I'm a big fan of endurance races
compared to sprint races anyway.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (32:13):
You,

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (32:13):
'cause I just refer'em.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (32:15):
That's the thing too, old day Bathurst,
it was a whole day event.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (32:20):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (32:20):
the actual Bathurst race, it, it's
over and done with in under sixhours.
Like you, you can't even cook abrisket watch the end of the
race eating a nice, nice brisketbecause the race is done and
dusted.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (32:37):
yeah.
Well it doesn't start until like11.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (32:41):
Yeah.
And it's over at four o'clock.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (32:45):
Yeah, I, I think the one thousand's
being outdated a little bit.
I, I would like to see it alittle bit longer, but you know,
they have the 12 hour race atthe beginning of the year, which
is most of the drivers in thisanyway, that race in it.
So yeah, 24 hour racing's reallypopular overseas.

(33:06):
But I don't see it, I dunno ifit would be popular here.
I think it'd be a cool conceptto have a 24 hour Bathurst race.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (33:14):
Well, it's, it's a lot like the Dakar
rally and stuff like that wherethey're running for

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (33:22):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (33:23):
long period of time and that, that
endurance thing like Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (33:28):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (33:28):
a whole new concept too.
The race,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (33:32):
yeah, yeah.
Well, I, I've picked out a fewthat, you know, I.
But I think or a chance ofwinning, mo it and Cool tar,
there's a lot of experience inthat team to, to win it and Mo
it's a freak to begin with.
Reynolds and Holdsworth Reynoldshas won before.

(33:53):
Just like mo it,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (33:55):
do you

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (33:56):
so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (33:56):
down from the Grand Final at the
weekend?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (33:59):
hey, wrong Reynolds, David Reynolds,
David Reynolds, Fannie and WingCup Fannie's leading the
championship at the moment.
It's pretty much beenunstoppable this season.
And Wing Cup being Win Cupprobably one of the best, And
then there's Brown and P aswell, both with the Red Bull as

(34:19):
well.
And then waters and winterbottom I think's a pretty strong
team.
But you've still got thereigning, reigning winners from
last season.
Eck and Hazelwood at DJ R nowinstead of Abu.
So they're, they're a chance togo back to back and back to
back's been pretty popular thelast couple of years.
So yeah, I just thought that wasmy, my little lad who we use

(34:41):
back and, or you're just not,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (34:43):
Um.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (34:44):
I.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (34:44):
why are you coming for forward?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (34:46):
I, I've always thought win cup's
pretty good.
So yeah, I would probably,probably back win cup

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (34:54):
Yeah.
Well that's the thing with megetting supercars, I don't
really support a manufacturer.
I don't really support a team.
I just like drivers.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (35:06):
this day and age, they chop and
change

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (35:09):
yeah, they do, they

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (35:10):
Like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (35:11):
a lot.
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (35:12):
it's not like the old days where,
yeah, they drove for one teamfor multiple years, like.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (35:18):
some of them do.
Some of them do, but they, theyswap and change where they wanna
be all the time.
I, David Reynolds always seem tojump on his bandwagon'cause I
just think he's a, he's a fundude and, I really like Cam
Waters.
I think he's an really, reallygood driver, at Tifford.
But yeah, it'll be interestingto see how it goes.

(35:39):
Anyway, MOS it's probably one ofmy favorites as well, any three
of them win it.
I'll probably be fairly happy,but I'm just looking forward to
actually watching the race, tobe honest.
'cause I do love watching it andI love when it comes up every
year.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (35:52):
Yeah, not at work.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (35:55):
I'm, I haven't been at work for a
Bathurst yet.
Normally that's the week beforeand I'm off the next week, which
I am off this week.
yeah.
Anything else you just want toadd to the sport this week?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (36:06):
not really.

the-incoherent-podcast (36:08):
Anything else coming up you are excited
for?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10- (36:10):
probably one thing we didn't touch base
on there was the, new SouthWales Cup, Queensland Cup.
And how one sided that game was

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (36:23):
the was just ate them to pieces.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (36:27):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (36:28):
the first

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (36:28):
And

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (36:28):
minutes of that game.
I thought, this is gonna betight contested.
They'll go on for set, they'lljust, and then, I don't know,
Boyd proved why he needed thatnext, new contract.
he got a one year deal to stayat the was, but I don't know.

(36:52):
It'd be, it'd be a few teamslooking at him, I think.
And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (36:58):
I think the Bears should step up
and take notice of him, not, notas.
They're straight up half back.
But definitely as an option indepth wise, I believe

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (37:08):
at that as but then I also thought.
There's one team in the NRLhasn't signed a half back for
next year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (37:16):
he's not going back to the Titans

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (37:18):
No.

the-incoherent-podcas (37:19):
Canberra.
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (37:21):
haven't signed a half back.
Ethan Strange is a good six andI wouldn't move him, but I think
sticky could, could

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (37:33):
I think I, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (37:34):
bit out of 10.
Boyd,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (37:37):
I'd probably agree with you to be
honest, because he'd be a, he'dbe a pretty good little buyer
for him'cause he'll do his job

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (37:45):
I, I haven't, I dunno much about
the depth of at Canberra,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (37:49):
well.
I think they've got a young halfpack that's coming through,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (37:52):
but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (37:53):
I dunno if he's ready yet.
I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (37:55):
NRL really, I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (37:56):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (37:58):
then yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (38:00):
but at the same time, you're not
gonna know until you put'em ineither.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (38:03):
that's right.
And I don't know Te Tanner Boyd.
was playing reserve grad at thestart of the year, so not many
clubs would've been looking athim.
But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (38:13):
No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (38:14):
he come in when they needed him and
he'd done a good job.
And then,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (38:21):
I've, he, he'd done what he had to, I
still think he needs more timein the NRL.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (38:30):
yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (38:31):
I think he's been hard done by, by
being at the Titans and howwoeful they were and was kind of
a scapegoat.
I think that he, he does offersomething.
I don't think he's as bad aswhat people seem to think he is,
to be honest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (38:45):
think, I think at the Titans, the
biggest thing up there was comein around the back end of Ash
Taylor and Ash Taylor wasplaying some horrendous
football,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (38:57):
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (38:57):
Oh, Ash Taylor.
Ash Taylor left the Titans andwent into the Warriors.
For him to move into thatposition.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (39:03):
Think, I think he's been a bit of a
victim of the fact that theybought David for feeder on such
a big contract and didn't havemuch room to move to put better
players around him either.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (39:13):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (39:13):
And he was debuting there and just
starting out his NI real career.
So that can be a bit hard whenyou haven't got the cattle
around you to be able to proveyourself.
Like

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (39:22):
I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (39:23):
he's not, he's not one of those
players that's gonna stand upand be the X factor,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (39:27):
No, and I think that'll be the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (39:28):
but he can control,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (39:29):
to the Bears as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (39:31):
I think he'd be all right as a
backup.
I'm not saying as a out and out,their first signing, but it
wouldn't be a bad choice if theyhad no choice.
So.
But

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (39:42):
so,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (39:42):
might what is, do you just wanna do
the Bears episode next week?
Maybe?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (39:46):
no, I reckon wait till November one,
once the,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (39:49):
I want to, I wanna try and do it
before November one so we canget our, our thoughts in before
they actually start doing it.
They're probably not gonna signanyone on the 1st of November.
Mind you, that's when they canstart talking to people legally.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (40:01):
I mean, biggest thing at the
moment is R 360.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (40:05):
yeah.
Yeah.
after watching the rugby theother day, I don't know how much
input a rugby league player canput into rugby union.
Like Sue Ali.
He played a lot of rugby uniongrowing up, so he sort of knows
what to do.
And he held his own the othernight and he's very good at it.
But, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (40:21):
at the players like PPEN, Hausen,
Munster, can

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (40:28):
yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (40:30):
like those wings or outside centers.
Fullbacks

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (40:33):
Yeah, I actually, I read today,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (40:36):
Going over there and playing fullback
isn't gonna be that of a change.
To

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (40:42):
no.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (40:42):
he plays at Melbourne.
He just, is gonna get given moreof a license playing union

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (40:49):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (40:49):
he doesn't have that full on
structure like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (40:52):
well, I read today that rugby
Australia's chasing monster aswell,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (40:56):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (40:57):
so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (40:58):
where Munster plays on the union
field.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (41:01):
well, I was, what I, from what I was
reading today, it's four flyhalf.
So for the number 10.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (41:07):
Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (41:08):
And I've, he is a weird one for me
'cause you sit there and watchhim, it looks like he's doing
nothing and he's just tearingthrough a team.
And I don't understand why theonly other player I've ever seen
that plays exactly the way he isis Wally Lewis.
When you're watch highlights, itdoesn't look like anything's
going on.
They look half confused, but forsome reason they're just tearing
teams apart

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (41:28):
I've watched Monster play some games
and I swear he is drunk.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (41:33):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
he, he has, it looks like he hasno idea what's going on and all
these players are just fallenoff him.
It's he's got spiders on him,man.
It just, it does me head in.
I just don't understand.
I'm just tackle him.
He's not doing anything and theyjust don't.
And I thought it was prettyfunny the other day how, they
asked, Bellamy about what theycould have improved and they
said probably tackle him.

(41:53):
That was his response.
just tackle Walsh.
it's not that hard.
But in, in Bellamy's defensethough, he did say that getting
to a grand final's, hard winninga grand final's, impossible.
And he, he said that Brisbaneplayed better and, took it on
the chin.
He wasn't blaming anything oranything like that.
I think he thought his playerscould have played better, but,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (42:15):
Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (42:16):
I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10- (42:16):
watching watching Walsh last five or six
weeks, and then I think.
You don't, haven't seen as manydefensive lines up on him.
They've let him get the ball andactually get up to speed

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (42:35):
I think it's because he's so
quick.
He gets the ball, he takes off.
You don't even know what'shappening until it does.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (42:40):
Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (42:41):
it's not, it's not just this year
that's happened.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (42:43):
he had papa on the weekend.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (42:47):
PPEN.

the-incoherent-podcast_ (42:47):
defense was really good on the weekend.
I think he should have got 10,but I'm not taking anything away
from the way that he played.
He did play very, very well.
Very well.
He, he was the reason thatBrisbane won that game.
Plain and simple.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (43:00):
I dunno.
And the other, What about theBrisbane women?
Didn't expect them to win

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (43:07):
No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (43:08):
But then looking back through a lot
of the other results through theyear, they finished the exact
same as the roosters.
Roosters beat'em through theyear.
That's why they went.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (43:19):
the only team Brisbane lost to was
the roosters.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (43:22):
And same now that

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (43:24):
And then the only team the roosters
lost to was Brisbane and thegrand finals.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (43:28):
and I,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (43:28):
the girls, the roosters girls did
have three injured players.
eight minutes to go.
Like two of them couldn't seeoutta one eye.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (43:38):
those was a bad head clash.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (43:41):
That was horrible.
Hey, who was the

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (43:43):
was,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (43:45):
that eyebrow was, I don't think I've
ever seen anything swell up soquick.
Hey.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (43:50):
What about old love's cheekbone?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (43:52):
Yeah, well, both of'em,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (43:53):
Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (43:54):
Both.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (43:55):
that was that.
That cheekbone went blackinstantly.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (43:57):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (43:58):
I dunno how neither of'em went to
the head bin, though.
I know it was the end of thegame, but you know, if they
wanna take that shit seriously.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (44:06):
And even, yeah, going down with her
ankle or a calf, whatever itwas.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07 (44:11):
Ankle.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (44:12):
I thought she broke it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (44:13):
in, I know it's only a couple
minutes to go, but for thosecouple of minutes she's more
concentrating on her ankle thannot having a serious injury,
than worrying about the game infront of her.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (44:27):
Hmm.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (44:27):
Mind you that those Brisbane girls,
thing.
They come out in that secondhalf and they just played better
footy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (44:34):
Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025 (44:35):
I think the girls game's gonna
fade off eventually to tell

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (44:39):
If it stays the way it is, it will
because it's too, they're toopacked.
The expansions are supposed togive opportunities for girls to
go and play at other clubs andhave a contract full time, and
that's supposed to be how theyeven it out a bit.
And it's just not reallyworking,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (44:56):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (44:56):
be honest.
Yeah.
I think if they get around andmake it a more even competition,
it'll be a lot better.
'cause it, it was a good game towatch, no doubt about it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (45:06):
If they want it to grow, then
they've probably got a, I thinkwe looked into it the other day
about the salary cap, but Ithink they've gotta have it a
lot more like the men's one

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (45:18):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (45:19):
and,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (45:20):
gotta try to, to be able to get to
that stage, they've gotta beable to generate the money for
it,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (45:27):
Oh, a hundred percent.
I think that down to what wespoke about on the last episode,
about'em playing the same daysas the men bringing, bringing in
crowds.
So they're getting those ticketsales and then they're getting
the, those television deals and,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (45:47):
yeah.
Speaking of television deals,I'm pretty sure the broadcast
deals up next year for the NRLI'd be happy to say they've got
a pretty good thing to offer toTV stations after this season,
to be honest.
It's been pretty good.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (46:02):
The, the rumor is channel seven.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (46:05):
Yeah.
But the Landis is very good attelling places that have things
that they're not getting it.
Just like with the Grand Final,every year he says that I'm
gonna take it away, and thenthey just throw more money at
him.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-0 (46:16):
reckon, they reckon that's a pretty
strong rumor, but Channel

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (46:20):
yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (46:20):
it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (46:21):
Yeah.
I, I, dead set.
I only watch nine for the originand the Grand Final.
That's it.
Everything else is on ko.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (46:30):
It.
Speaking of the Grand final, ifit does get shipped around to
whoever spends the most money,whether it be Queensland or
Melbourne.
Is Melbourne gonna get a asecond day off?
they get the Friday off beforethe A FL Grand Final every year.
That's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (46:49):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10- (46:50):
holiday.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (46:51):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (46:51):
So they don't have that Monday
public holiday.
The same as New South Wales.
I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (46:57):
No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (46:57):
stay in Sydney.
Right?
Right.
It's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (47:01):
Yeah.
I, I believe it should stay inSydney.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (47:04):
day and age.
It is not that hard to get toSydney, whether it be in our

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (47:10):
Oh.
They were saying the other dayto fly from Brisbane to Sydney
for that day to stay the nightor that weekend was nearly three
and a half grand per person.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (47:18):
Yeah.
But if the start of the year,there's a lot of people go there
just for the fact that it's theNRL Grand final, whether their
team's in it or not.
if you paid for your tickets atthe start of the season and then
your team doesn't make the eightand you cancel those tickets,
you're not losing anything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (47:39):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (47:39):
And you're getting the tickets at a
quarter of the price.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (47:43):
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you look at it that way,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (47:46):
Book 'em in in advance and yeah.
Not have to worry about that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (47:50):
yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (47:51):
for most places in New South Wales,
for me to go to Sydney five anda half hour drive, it's not that
bad these days.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (47:58):
No, no.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (48:00):
Yeah, it,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (48:01):
If they changed it to a day game,
it'd be a lot easier for, if I'moff that day anyway.
It'd be a lot easier for me todrive down for the day, watch
the grand final and come home.
But being at the time that itis, it makes it really, really
long day to come back home.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (48:16):
yeah.
But if they change it to a daygame, what do you do with the
other games?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (48:23):
You just have to play'em earlier.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (48:25):
So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (48:26):
That's why I was saying the other day,
if they change, you can stillget the same effect of a day
game.
If it was at, say, up past five,five o'clock, you don't have to
play at seven 30.
You still get the, it's still,it's still a dry track.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (48:39):
but it, you're not gonna have a game
played at 5 5 30 because itinterviews news broadcasting on
channel nine and channel seven

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (48:49):
I don't think that news broadcast
is important.
Is as important as what it onceused to be.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (48:55):
there.
But people like MB N's not gonnalook at it that way.
Like they've got that sixo'clock time slot for the news,
for all their breaking news,everything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (49:05):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (49:06):
Like they're not gonna just shift
that out of the way to play agrand final.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (49:11):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (49:12):
And then if it does happen to go to
Queensland or Victoria, whenyou've got those, those
different times,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (49:19):
yeah.
Well, you've got Perth coming uptoo.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (49:22):
I think, and that's a big reason
why they play it when they do,because yeah, the women's play,
then you've got an hour break onNBN.
When the news and everything'son and then they come back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (49:38):
Yeah.
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (49:39):
and I guess that'll depend though,
if that broadcasting deal comesup and KO or Fox, somebody like
that gets the whole thing, wellthen

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (49:49):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (49:50):
why it can't go back to a day Grand
final and have a more compact.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (49:54):
Well I think, I think Liny said the
other day that, that it'sdefinitely on the cards to
change it and it's taken someconvincing, but it might, might
go back to that time.
but I, I, I reckon they're gonnaend up putting the girls on say
the sad before the day before.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (50:12):
maybe.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (50:13):
also also read today that, Phil, Andy
said that they're going aheadwith buying a 59% share in the
Super League as well.
I've also read that they're backin.
French super league.
but one, the one that I readtoday that they were looking at
a European NRL Europe orsomething like that is what it
said.
I don't think NRL Europe'sreally,'cause it's National

(50:35):
rugby league, you can't have acontinent and call it national.
So it's just something to keepan eye on, I suppose.
And I don't know, I guess byFebruary we'll probably have
more of an idea around that sortof thing, but Yeah.
Yeah.
So we gonna, the darts or we'regonna take the, take the podcast
on the, on the, on the road tothe darts in Youi.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (50:58):
When is it this weekend?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (51:00):
I dunno when it is.
I didn't look at the date

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (51:03):
it was the 11th.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (51:05):
I thought it was, I thought it was
for frigging

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (51:06):
I'm pretty sure it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (51:07):
next year.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (51:09):
No, I'm pretty sure it was the 11th.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (51:11):
It would be pretty cool to go.
Yeah, it is the 11th of October.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (51:14):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (51:14):
even know it was coming to Newcastle
till I sent that the other day.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07- (51:17):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (51:18):
It's only in Sydney most of the time,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (51:21):
Well, I'll be at work, so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (51:25):
and you'd probably get castrated if
you told your wife you're goingoff to the darts.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (51:31):
Yeah, probably.
so Hoover, do you get a PS fivethis week or

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (51:35):
No, I didn't.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (51:36):
back on that arc grind again.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (51:39):
grind.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (51:39):
Yeah.
I've had two weeks out in thebush and come back and found

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (51:45):
two days in the bush.
Yeah.
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (51:48):
And yeah, back grinding again.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (51:51):
Well I've, I've played a fair bit
this week actually.
I've done a bit of footballmanager, bit of fifa, but, what
I did look at,'cause Idownloaded Assassins Creed
shadows, I've been playing Ghostof Ashima because it's free on
the PlayStation thing and I justwanted to compare'em and Ghosted
Ashima is heaps better.

(52:12):
And the only reason I had a lookat Ghost of Ashima was'cause I
was looking at buying Ghost ofYoti, but I'm gonna pass on the
ghost of yo tire because I,battlefield Six comes out on
Friday.
So I think I'm just gonnaprobably order that while I'm at
work on Thursday or something.
So it's all the unloaded andready to go on Friday and yeah,
see how that goes.
And hopefully Battlefield sixwill.

(52:33):
Bounce back to where it onceused to be.
'cause I've always liked the,battlefield ones better than
call duty because of the physicsin it and stuff like that.
It was just a lot more, not morefun, but you know what I mean.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (52:44):
So long story short is you need one
of us to make up a spare bedbecause probably gonna get outta
the house for buying a new gamethis weekend.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (52:56):
No, I will be able to cover it.
It'll be right.
So yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (53:03):
come home with a bunch of flowers and
some chocolate or somethingbefore you turn the PlayStation
on.
when's the project Car app?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (53:14):
It is not project Cars Pro project
motor racing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (53:17):
Same

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (53:17):
not until like March or something.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (53:19):
Hmm.
I keep seeing things pop up.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (53:24):
Oh.
They're slowly feeding stuffthrough it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (53:27):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (53:28):
I'm actually getting more excited
about it every time I see it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (53:33):
Is it gonna compete with charisma?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (53:37):
Well, it's made by the same people
that have made project cards.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (53:40):
you like green charisma.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (53:42):
it depends on the gameplay.
The idea behind it is moreappealing to me than Grand Jmo
because it is a, you set up arace team and it's got pit stops
and you know, the whole appealand idea behind it is what I
like.
'cause I like project cars andproject cars too.

(54:03):
And it's more like that.
It's more like actually having acareer where Grand Tri Mode is
not really, it's a carcollector.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (54:10):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (54:12):
yeah, I, I am excited for it and I
will play it, but it's gonnacome down to the gameplay.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (54:18):
So next question, steering wheel or
controller, are you gonna getthe wheel

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (54:24):
I haven't got so that much money,
I don't know.
I'll probably look at it and itcomes out in November.
There you go.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (54:33):
Month away?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (54:35):
yeah.
Yeah.
It can already be pre-orderedthough.
It doesn't have a price on that.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (54:41):
No.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (54:42):
I don't like when they have a
thing that says mods, but yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (54:46):
yeah, it'd be

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (54:48):
for that.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (54:48):
see what kind of memory stories
we're gonna need for it too.
There's anything you like Grant

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (54:54):
yeah, I don't know if it's gonna be as
big a game as Green Triggers,mate.
Well, it is made by the samepeople that made project cars.
I think.
Although I know that someoneinvolved with project cars is
also involved with this, they'rejust sort of going back to that,
proper racing type thing, So

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (55:16):
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
I, keeps seeing more and moregameplay videos and yeah, it's

the-incoherent-podcast (55:23):
actually it was another game that I was a
little bit interested in theother day.
the Open World, Lord of theRings game.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (55:31):
I've watched a few videos on it and.
Yeah, that one I didn't mind.
A few of the early Lord of theRings games.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (55:40):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (55:41):
this one being open world.
It's, gonna be,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (55:45):
if it, it's supposed to be like the
Harry Potter one, like

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (55:48):
yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (55:49):
the new Harry Potter one, and I
actually enjoyed the new HarryPotter one, so I'm definitely
gonna be given that one a go,so, yeah.
Yeah.
I always wanna get intopredictions.
Any games you're looking forwardto?
Hoover,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025 (56:05):
I don't have much time to look at
at the moment.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (56:07):
rust

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (56:08):
Sorry.
He was looking at PlayStationslast week.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (56:12):
I, I, I'll get you hooked on Rust

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (56:14):
No, don't play rust.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (56:17):
is good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (56:18):
That's a second job.
I don't do it.
I wish I'd never told you aboutthat game.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (56:23):
rust is good.
I actually, did play, I was onthe computer the other day doing
some invoicing and looked on thehome screen and my, I haven't
played rust for a while andspent the next eight hours
playing rust.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (56:37):
So you went to do like some work
for your business.
So you like that kid that goesand plays his room and plays
with all his toys instead ofcleaning his room.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (56:45):
I got all my invoices done first,
and then yeah, when I went toclose the computer down, I'm
Hmm, I'm gonna play some rust.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (56:54):
Fair enough?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (56:54):
But no, rust is good as long as you
can, if you've got a good teamor it's hard when you're doing
it by yourself.
And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (57:03):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (57:03):
of the servers I play are

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (57:06):
Oh, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (57:07):
servers now, so

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (57:08):
the only reason I went off it was
'cause it was.
A lot of effort to to play it.
And you know what I'm like, I gobackwards and forwards between
games all the time.
I get bored and I just go, ohno, I'm just gonna play that.
Look.
I played 60 different games inlike three days just this
weekend because I just play whatI feel like, so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (57:27):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (57:29):
but

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-202 (57:29):
on computer's a lot different.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (57:32):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (57:32):
I am looking forward to seeing
what the Rust Mobile's like tosee what the gameplay's like
compared to computer andPlayStation.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (57:40):
yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (57:42):
but

the-incoherent-podcast (57:42):
Probably not that good.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (57:45):
no, but you phones are getting
better.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (57:49):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07 (57:50):
phones are getting more and more and
you see all these differentphones these days that are
dedicated

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (57:56):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (57:57):
but yeah, don't know.
Wait and see.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (58:02):
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (58:03):
I might, I might have three
different base locations going

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (58:07):
On three different systems.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10 (58:09):
computer, PlayStation, and phone.

the-incoherent-podcast_ (58:11):
Imagine if they'll cross play.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (58:13):
Well that was a big, big talk I was
reading and yeah, they're tryingto get it to the stage where it
will be cross play so you can

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (58:22):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (58:22):
your base while you're at work on
your phone.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (58:25):
yeah.
No.
Well that that,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (58:28):
that was, that was the big thing when
it first come out on console was'cause

the-incoherent-podcast_ (58:33):
imagine you're just sitting at home, you
get a notification that you'regetting raided and have to jump
onto Rust.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (58:37):
Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (58:39):
That'd be pretty funny.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-0 (58:40):
doesn't help me when I'm working in the
middle of nowhere.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (58:43):
I don't think you're convinced
Uber to play this game either.
Just shaking his head no, fuckthat.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-202 (58:47):
I, I just looked it up.
It looks like Minecraft.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (58:51):
Nah,

the-incoherent-podcast_ (58:52):
really.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (58:53):
Heaps better than Minecraft.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (58:55):
No, it wasn't what I thought it was
when I first said about itcoming to console.
I'm oh, we should go play this.
I thought it was a lot differentto what it actually is.
It's it's not that it's bad, itjust takes up a lot of time and
I don't play it for that reasonbecause it just takes up too
much time.
You work so hard and theneverything can be just taken
away in a flash,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-0 (59:14):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (59:15):
yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (59:15):
it's not really worth it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (59:17):
it's even since when you last played
it, they brought out thosestrict console dedicated servers
now.
And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (59:27):
Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (59:27):
all the official servers that we
played back then that don't,there's not as many people on
it.
thing.
Like you, you'd get offline at10 o'clock at night, say, and
then an hour later you'regetting raided by some European

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (59:42):
While you're in bed.
Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2 (59:44):
just woken up and it's gonna sit
there for the next 16 hours.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (59:48):
Yeah.
Yeah, I, I'd think about it if Iwasn't so excited about playing
Battlefield six.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (59:54):
Yeah, well see.
That comes back to that memorything on the PlayStation and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (01:00:00):
Yeah.
Or

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (01:00:00):
of,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_1 (01:00:02):
only for hours.
The, the pro and that havethousand gig so, or a terabyte.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:00:09):
yeah, it's still shit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (01:00:11):
I think I'm gonna need to upgrade
my storage anyway.
'cause, you know, GTA six willcome out and I'm gonna buy it
and it's gonna be massive andit'll probably take up the whole
PlayStation on its own.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (01:00:22):
Why I actually thought about that
the other day.
Do I buy new PlayStation fiveand give mine to the kids for
Christmas,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (01:00:31):
I thought, I thought about giving
Bodhi my PlayStation five andgetting a pro as well.
Don't you worry for that reason.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (01:00:39):
but then.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (01:00:40):
I like better graphics, bigger
storage.
GT six, so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:00:45):
Then, yeah, my kids will fight and
argue over it and then be WorldWar iii, Seven will be
happening.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:00:53):
Oh, he is ready for the predictions.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:00:55):
Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (01:00:56):
He

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025 (01:00:57):
I was,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:00:59):
was

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:01:00):
yeah.
And then I just double checkedone of my predictions and we
can't actually put the bet onthe Sydney Kings because they've
got another game to play before.
So Sports Bet doesn't allow usto

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:01:13):
Oh,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (01:01:14):
put that bet on.
I just have a quick lu

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:01:17):
ice hockey starts tomorrow.
You've been talking up the icehockey.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-20 (01:01:21):
um.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10- (01:01:23):
I.
What's your predictions?
While he works his own out?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-0 (01:01:26):
Soccer.
going for of them.
Chelsea de beat nodding for us

the-incoherent-podcast_1_ (01:01:33):
Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (01:01:34):
and gonna go a league baseball.
The LA Dodgers to beat the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-0 (01:01:41):
I didn't know he was a big
baseball fan.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-20 (01:01:43):
No.
it's something different.
Something

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:01:46):
the LA Dodgers based

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10 (01:01:49):
Adelaide.

the-incoherent-podcas (01:01:50):
Adelaide.
When we, when we, when we, justbefore we started recording,
Hoover was telling me hispredictions.
He said The Adelaide Dodgerswere gonna win in the NB Major
League baseball.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2 (01:02:01):
hey, they've come a long way.
They have.

the-incoherent-podcast_1 (01:02:03):
That's still not as bad as z cole and
the NBL, the Australian NBA.
So,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:02:08):
Well, it is.
It's the Australian version ofthe NBAI know what it's called.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10 (01:02:16):
All right.
Whoever's got the Dodgers andChelsea to win this weekend.
I did notice with NottinghamForests, though they've seen a
couple of articles today thatAng might be getting sacked
three weeks after starting.
So if that happens, we'll haveheaps to talk about.
'cause that is, that is prettybad.
That's pretty cutthroat.
You're getting sack three weeksinto a job.
So I think it's'cause he is lostall seven of his games.

(01:02:37):
He's played though, from what Iwas reading today, I've got the
bills to bounce back afterlosing their first game of the
season this year.
yeah, I think they'll bounceback next or this week and yeah,
I've got Liverpool to beat meand United and keep their a PL
or their Premier League streakgoing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07- (01:02:54):
Well, yeah, this is not much happening
in the ice hockey either.
