Episode 140 of SmartB Sports Update dives headfirst into a turbulent week across rugby league and the wider sports world. Things are reportedly turning sour at Manly, with multiple players said to have “issues” with head coach Anthony Seibold, while club legend Daly Cherry-Evans faces growing calls to retire amid a noticeable form slump. The Bulldogs are in the spotlight again as the Galvin vs Sexton debate reignites following another disappointing loss, and former NRL CEO David Gallop lifts the lid on a string of past Bulldogs scandals that rocked the league. On a brighter note, the Tigers have been revealed as the least-injured club of 2025—but will that translate to wins?

Outside the NRL, the AFL finds itself under fire for perceived hypocrisy after announcing Snoop Dogg as the 2025 Grand Final entertainment, raising eyebrows across the footy community. Over in tennis, Jannik Sinner was forced to retire from the Cincinnati Open final due to illness, dealing a blow to fans and tournament organisers alike.

And in cricket, Australia’s ODI campaign starts on a sour note, with South Africa thrashing the Aussies in Cairns in the series opener. With drama, controversy, and candid commentary across codes, this episode is packed with everything Aussie sports fans need to stay ahead of the game. 🎧🔥

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
