Speaker 2:

Welcome to the Inca here in podcast.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Welcome back to episode five of the Incoherent Podcast. Joined again by Zach and Hoover and pretty big grand final.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It wasn't a bad, grand final, actually. Can't complain about the winners or losers. Really.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

we can still complain about the winners.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Still Brisbane.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I said to Zach before, the only thing that Mars is that Walsh got off with that shoulder charge, and then ERO got sent and it was pretty much the same thing. that's the only thing that sort of puts a bit of a dash on it. But other than that, in the second half, the Broncos just had way too much momentum to stop. PPEN, Hausen and all that, were making breaks up the side and that, just making mistakes so they get a couple of those passes off to where they needed to and it probably changes the whole outcome anyway. especially with Reynolds and Hunt going off the way they did.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

They

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

They weren't scoring again. Once Hunt went off, they weren't scoring again. And that's what I sent to Zach. That's, they're just gonna have to defend now, or that's all they could do. They couldn't do anything else. MIM could probably do a little bit, but I don't think they'll, I don't think they would've come back if the storm had have score a try,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I think a big turning point for Melbourne was losing how the centers and wish I'd having to play out a position.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I, I think the same thing once we ARD went in there. It's probably the only time I've seen him outta his comfort zone. But he is not really a center though, is he? So he normally gets hidden in,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

caught defensively out there. having that the winger on is the outside not having that bit of protection. But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well that's, that's the thing, isn't it? So it it, it probably would've been a little bit different if he doesn't go off. I think so, yeah. But other than that, it was a good grand final and Walsh probably did deserve it because of the way he played. But I still, I still think he deserved the sim bin.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

A hundred percent he did.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. He, he deserves something other than, I think it was a$3,000 fine or$1,800 fine or something like that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Only if he pleaded guilty. If he forwarded it's a two match bin, 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 at either a two match band or a three match band. Depending on whether he pleads guilty, which he probably will because it was pretty obviously that he hit him. I was scream at the tv. You can't send him if you didn't send Walsh. But

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it's just, it's been a good final series. But that, that penalty in the Raiders game that saved them at the end of the game. And then the sea players getting taken out. Pap haen getting taken out the other day without the ball late and, which is a lot worse hit than what the whole thing was. So it's there's, it makes you wonder a little bit. I think so.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Even the commentator said Brisbane had two shoulder charges to the head. Nothing happened other than a on report and penalty.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yep.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

as the storm player does it gone 10 minutes.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yep. Yeah. it was at the end of the game and it didn't really matter, but it takes away that consistency.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. Like I said, you before, if Welsh does get sent, I don't think Melbourne lose. I think. They keep that momentum, they score another try. Brisbane, don't score that. Try.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Well, Melbourne, Adam under the pump.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

even Ezra mam, you've got Ben Hunt, Adam Reynolds sitting on the bench on the sideline injured Ezra Mam should have been sent for his late shot from behind the back of the head.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And then that really stops all of Brisbane's momentum from there.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. And I fell in that second half. They could have probably used Munster and Hughes a little bit more.'cause Hughes was up and ready to go. I just don't think they fed him the ball enough. I dunno if that's through Brisbane's defense or anything like that, which, Walsh's Triss were unbelievable. Really. Do I, I don't think it's they've been saying where they've said that there was the best individual performance in a grand final. I, I think it was good, but it wasn't, Andrew John's been Kennedy coming out and had blinders in 2001, so I don't think it's the best, but it's up there.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Oh, it'd be

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

he deserved to get it, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

did, like he

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No, he deserved the Clive Churchill. It just sucks that he probably should have been sent off, which would've stopped him from getting it. And then the next best one would've been, had a really good game as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

who also probably should have been sent off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, well,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

that's right. I think they left Hass off a little bit too long, to be honest. Or maybe it was just a master stroke. Keep him fresh. But I thought he had a pretty quiet game for his standard, to be honest. He didn't really stand out.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

thing. The commentators half this, half that. He was quiet. He was very quiet.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

he, he was very quiet. I think they, they kept him at bay.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Tony made what? Two line breaks couple tackles and they praised him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

He was pretty quiet as well. It de it was definitely the Reese Walsh show, and probably that little bit of experience and direction from Reynolds while he was on the field probably helped. His goal kicking definitely helped.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

that little bit of goal kicking that he did. but you know what, I'm, I am happy for has, and I'm happy for Ben Hunt.'cause they're probably two players that do deserve to win a grand final. I'm, I'm pretty happy for them.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

pat Carrigan,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Carrigan.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and I, I was reading something the other, I think it was yesterday and 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 stay with Brisbane and win on the Premiership,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

because, has, and Hass and Carrigan were both in the team that won the wooden spoon too.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

and, and it was, it was actually pretty good from Reynolds to bring, Walters up with him on stage.'cause he doesn't get a ring or any recognition for the grand final, but he's a big part of that team, which is probably under underestimated that he actually did that to it for him.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. But I think they, I think they get a couple of spare rings for players like that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I was saying, I was saying the other day that he won't get one.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, I thought a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Remember when JT

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

ago.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Steve Price his, because he couldn't play as the exact same thing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. But I thought they

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

He didn't get one.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

after that. I thought I read a couple years ago that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, you might be right.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

get a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Those things, those things don't get noticed a lot. But I thought it was pretty good all up, to be honest. It wasn't, I wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst, so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. and on the back of that, they've got, the Australian team that's been announced. It's changed since it was first released a little bit because you know, Brad that's come in now, Josh. it's not, it's not a bad Australian team. A lot of debut ones. What is a, so there's eight debut ones for Australia in that squad. Whether they all actually get to debut, we'll have to wait and see. But because it's a three game series, you'd think you'd just play your best team unless you won the first two and then wanted to give them a run in the third game, but can't see many changes unless through injury. I

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, who runs number 14?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

did. I think that did and will be the 14th.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's dear nor Moses.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I don't think you, you can't play Moses anywhere other than the HARs where Den, you can put him in lock, you can put him in the halves. There's a lot more movement there. You can move Monster back to fullback, put Den into six Pro, probably put din into nine if you needed to as well. I don't think you can do that with Moses. I think Moses is just purely a halfback where he can play six next to Cleary. they were talking about that the other day on the Grand final show about whether or not, Mitch Moses had get picked and,, they pretty much said the same thing. It's a waste taking him over there.'cause he can only play those positions. And I think they're right in saying that. Ethan and Strange is a pretty good one for a reward type thing, but it's the same sort of thing. I don't know where else you play him. You might be able to put him at fullback, but

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, but e and Strange has got that big enough body. He could play at 13,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

wanted to go for a ball playing lock. I think if the, the series is locked up two nil after two games or then you'll see probably Moses go to seven, you'll

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

strange basic six and they, they will rest those few players and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

But.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

They've only got the one Hooker in Harry Grant. Well, no, they've got, Blake Braley as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Braley.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

there's probably a lot in there that are well earned this year, to be honest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

So.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but even just, yeah, going over just as a reward for having a good season, getting him in amongst that environment. Like for somebody like Ethan Strange, that's,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

be a big plus for him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think that's a good upside as well. Yeah. What are you happy with Uber,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, who do you run as fullback? Do you run Dylan or Rece?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Reese?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I, I think Reese Walsh has won it. He's got that spot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think, I think he's earned that spot too,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Edwards

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

sucks. Dylan Edwards hasn't done anything wrong.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, he hasn't done anything wrong this year. Probably wasn't his best. I think there was a lot of times through the year he did look tired

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, but I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

there'd been like, and that was Penrith across the board. they'd been so high for so long.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, that's what I was about to say. Be the Tahoe Loophole because he is so good that you don't even notice that he's still really good because you're just used to him being good all the time that kind of forget that he's above everyone else. That's why with the winger of the ear and stuff, it's he's a victim of his own success sort of thing, so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

But yeah, I think Reese Walsh, he's last sort of five, six weeks of football's earned him that spot at one,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

What do you think the Australian team is gonna look like? Walsh at one

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

and then probably Zo be on one wing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

no one can need to ask, eh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Uh, do you reckon they go,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

That shi

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

you reckon she'll be on a wing?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

nah, I don't think on the wing.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think I do. Car's probably gonna get the run on the wing unless I'm missing somebody on here.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, your, your centers would be Brad and Best and Tony Staggs.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Do you reckon?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. I reckon them two.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Xavier Coates probably gets the wing spot.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Xavier codes has been ruled out, so Xavier Codes and Zach Lomax have been ruled out. That's why Atkar and Brad best are being brought into the team.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Uh, Right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I reckon they'll end up going. Um,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Why, why,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

best

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

why do they

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

hasn't played in five weeks. Hey.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Brad and Best in as a, he's a center. Both wingers have been ruled out.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, Zach Lomax could play center as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, maybe Zaki plays on the Wing and Bradman best in Yeah, I think, I think Hoover's right. I think it'll be best in stags in the centers. They both play on those sides,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

so, and then I reckon she, bki iss gonna be on the wing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I will just, Dylan Edwards get a wing spot.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, that was the other option too. Yeah. Dylan Edwards on one of the wings,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I, I reckon she bki, but could be right? Um, he is playing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Oh, Tino. And if it's me picking it, I'm probably going with Jacob Preston

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Preston up front.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

no? Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Lindsay

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. No. Lindsay Collins.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah. Jake and Preston probably gets a start in the back row.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I think he's done enough this year to earn that. He's probably one of the best back rowers going around at the moment.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Would you go Criden or Hudson Young

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Hudson Young.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

or Colin? A tongue.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, I think Ong because he had that big injury through the year, I think he gets a bench spot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

But I think, yeah, him and Angus both, both play off the bench,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

so, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

then yo yo will be the

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

got Ruben.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

because he is a captain.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

got Ruben Cotter there as well. That could play up front or in the back row.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

well, you'd bring Ruben Carter off the bench. He'd have to, he'd have to come off the bench'cause he's an impact player.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Unless you put Cotter in there. Because Preston's debut.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, do you reckon Tino will actually get a start?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. He'll start up front.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

He hasn't done anything all season,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

He plays for the Titans.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but you look at all those other names there, done so much more than him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think he plays on reputation, to be honest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's a hard one. Harry Grant plays nine.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Did and has to be the 14.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, if, if did well, if Cleary plays and did 14,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

not, like, if it's me, I'm probably given did and nod. If Cleary doesn't play, I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I, I, I can't see why Cleary wouldn't play unless he wants a rest, but they haven't played this Ashes series in a long time. I know. That's why Tino put his hand up for it.'cause it hasn't been played in a while and he's got unfinished business with the kangaroos

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Walsh Ze Best Aggs Zaki or, Edwards, Munster Cleary,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. Mun Cleary.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Tina Grant, Collins Preton Hudson Young and was a,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, that'd be, I think be a pretty close to.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it's a very different team from the last time Australia run out. I think

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but it should be good. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it, but shit that the timing's gonna be crap over here. But yeah. And I did see him say today that they're definitely playing the World Club Challenge as well, Next season. So it'll be a long year for, the Broncos I'm guessing. So you just reckon you just can fit the nines back in to the season, or you think that's just done and dusted? You can't fit it in. I think it's done. I don't think you can do it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it was good. And think if they were to do something about it, to bring it back in, you could have it like your, your New South Wales, like your feeder feeder clubs playing it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well, they have the nines premier league that they play every year now.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the one, like those teams that are, like those players that are on the cusp of first grade, they're

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

that was the good thing about nines is that they played people that were up and coming that you got to see play. Like Bevin French got his name from the nines

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

and then a few other players that's Ponga. Yeah. Stood out in the nines. It's an opportunity to have all those players there and Yeah. But, well, it's been a good year for the NRL anyway for some of us, so, yeah. What else did you just get up to on the weekend?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

on March a bit of bit of Stan. I, been watching a show called Justified.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Uh,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Us Marshall, not much sport,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I watched, the Australia Cup.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

court glimpses of it. Seen a few interviews from the Newcastle players

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's good to see the jets back up there. I guess it's the Hunter Valley's. It's been a while since they've had something to really cheer for.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

How much of an indication do you think that the Australia Cup gives for a NA League season? You reckon it's a good indication or'cause it is played outta season for them?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yes, it's, I mean, it's, they play a lot of, again, a lot of players that are on the cusp of playing

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

A-League. went towards the back end of the, the cup. They tend to pay a lot more A-League players'cause everyone wants to win that check.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, I've, I've seen in the past where those that have gone close to winning the, the straight cup and those that have actually won it, they've gone nowhere near making the top five day league.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It was a good game, but I'd actually watched oh, bit before the, first half ended, and then I watched the whole second half.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it wasn't a bad game.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

no, it was a pretty good game. So I was watching the, rugby union and the soccer at the same time. I had the Jets game on me phone and I was watching the rugby on the tv and I was paying heaps more attention to the Australia Cup game than I was the, rugby. It was just more intriguing.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I only, I only watched most of the soccer because it was on, in the room that I was in, but when I was walking through, the rugby was on the other room

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it, it was an actual good game.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

The soccer.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, I think Heidelberg were, were robbed to be honest.'cause yeah, I think they should have got a penalty at the end of the first lot of extra time. There was probably a penalty there at the start of the game as well, but I think they can hold their heads high. they've gone all the way through to the final, there's a semi-professional team and kept the jets to only one, to one all to go into extra time to begin with, which is, you know, a pretty good feat. And it, it, it could have went either way and I didn't really, Hey.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

they didn't even really run outta gas. I think it was just experience at the end of the day. Really?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yes and no. I think a few calls went the Jet's way that probably shouldn't have that. Probably evened it up a little bit. The two red cards probably don't really make any difference because they're, they both got'em pretty much at the same time,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but I think, I think they'd done pretty well and I didn't realize until I was watching it the other day.'cause I don't, I, I've followed soccer, but I've never delved into the whole thing of it. I never realized that Heidelberg, if they won that game, they play in the Asian Champions League and then if they win the, if they went through and won the Asian Champions League, they could play in the World Club World Cup or the Club World Cup. Yeah, I didn't realize that. And the last time that a semi-professional team did that was 2001 with South Melbourne and they played like Newcastle United and stuff. I thought that was just a really cool thing that I picked up that I never knew, I never knew that you could go through as like a local team that could go and be the 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 I think they can hold their heads higher. Would they beat three A-League teams to get there?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, I think, I think it'll be just a matter of time and you'll have one of those semi-professional teams or, probably will win it one day. To be honest, I was actually quite impressed with how well they played up against a professional team. I wouldn't have expected, like I know they beat other a League League teams, but yeah, I thought they did pretty well and I definitely, definitely, my favorite part was probably Friar's goal. He, he absolutely nailed that.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Was

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

and for a kid that's been out with injury and only just come back and that's his first game back after a long stint on the sideline and I thought it was pretty, pretty good. as for the rugby, I haven't watched a full game of rugby in a while and a fair bit's changed when I, I've watched it. I thought it was a little bit more exciting than what it actually was like. It is.'cause I sort of understand what they're trying to achieve and stuff like that. But it just, I don't know. A bit hard to watch a little bit. I think so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the hardest thing about rugby is I grew up

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Telling your parents you play rugby.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

nah, growing up during that, that really good period

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah. Yeah. Australia was just. Nobody wanted the players.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So now it's hard to watch because it's so few and far between winds for Australia.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. I just found it. It's really,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it's really stop start. There's no depth to it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

you probably

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Just,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

that as much when they're scoring points of winning

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Well, that's probably true too. The one thing that I did surprise me though, was that freaking one of them got sent off because he had a head clash. And they were trying to determine whether it was a yellow or a red card. I thought that was a bit strange. But at the same time, rugby have weird rules. if you, if you, intentionally knock the ball down in an intercept, that's a penalty to the team that had the ball and you can't throw it over the sideline accidentally or on purpose, that's a penalty. yeah, I think it's just the rules of rugby can get really confusing and I think that's what makes it so hard to watch as well. it's sort of the same thing, I thought I'd seen 20 knock ons there and they've said nothing about it. And then I'm do they even have knock ons in rugby anymore? And then they did knock it on. I was probably confused more than anything, but I'm gonna try and watch more of it. And maybe it was just a one off thing anyway, Yeah. Australia got up over the Kiwis in the cricket, the T twenties,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, they've announced, announced there one day in T 20 teams as well for the upcoming series.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. When's that get played?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's not that far away, but then, I don't know, I don't, I don't think India's name in a full strength squad, in my opinion, You got Boomer not playing in the one days, but then he is playing T 20 and he's, so yeah, dunno. That'll be interesting series coming up and then obviously the Ashes.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Um, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. I keep confusing myself because there's the rugby league ashes this year, and then there's the cricket world as ashes as well,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

so.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

we create one. We can go and watch that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, you are going to the ashes in the boxing day, aren't you?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. Boxing Day tests this year,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Yeah. Need that Uber?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Nah, not really. I don't mind watching the cricket. I don't get involved in it too much, but.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, it's all, I big bash it around the corner

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

as well.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

pretty good record of playing cricket.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I sure do.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Would you play one game? One or something?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, no. I've got a good bowling record,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Hmm?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

eh, one wicket. But they did get 36 off it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

All sixes?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but the main thing is I got a wicket.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

He, he had fun. He, he got a participation wicket.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I reckon.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

at the end of the day, that game, we end up going to backyard rules. One hand, one bounce.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh really?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

you had to go get the ball yourself. Everything.'cause we wanted to come back and watch Zach play.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Better bowling record than Jonesie.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, that's exactly right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

He'd bowl spin.'cause he didn't have to run so far, wouldn't you?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah. Underarm. Few Mul, Grubers.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Well, in the NFL there was a few upsets this week actually. So the Ravens went down to the Texans 44 to 10, but they're also missing majority of their players,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It's upset at the flogging.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, I'm upset at the fogging, don't you worry. the Buffalo Bills went down to the Patriots, which wasn't really expected, and then the Jacksonville Jag was beat the Chiefs 31 28. So I, started watching that game today at work, but probably the most standout thing is that the cults are undefeated and they beat the Raiders 40 to six. yeah, been a couple of upsets in the, in the NFL as well, and threw my tips out that I was doing really well with. yeah, that's a bit, a bit sad. yeah. so this week, well last week was grand final week, which means that this week's Bathurst week, he's excited for Bathurst.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It is not,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

not the same anymore.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Why do you supposed to say that? That's fine.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

no, it's really not.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, is is it because they're holding them forward?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That's what Zach said. No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

that's what Bathurst is about.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, it's not about that at all.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

is,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

It's not, and I can tell you because I've got a little bit of history about what Bathurst actually is, and it's not about Ford and Holden at all. I

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It's Ford versus Holden, not Ford, not Jev versus Mustang, versus Toyota versus Nissan and Nessen

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Toyota's not there yet until next year.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

year. But.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

So

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

in another five years time, you're gonna be watching Teslas drive around Bathurst 1000.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

won't see Teslas driving around Bathurst

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Why not? Everything's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

you won't, you won't see it. It'll, they'll still keep

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

versus those, what are they bys?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

probably. So it all started in 1960 as the Philip Island 500 mile race. And then they moved in 1963 to Bathurst as a 500 mile race, and it got extended to a 1000 kilometer race in 1973. And it was conceived as an endurance test for everyday road cars, which it isn't now. So they've changed over to production race cars. They're not everyday cars like they were supposed to. Obviously Peter Brox won the most with nine wins. 300 kilometers the fastest. Hey,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

What was he driving? You? Driving Holden.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Is a bit Holden versus Ford.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

The fastest fee down Conrad's 300 Ks moot has the fastest lap in a supercar at one minute, 59.8, and Scott McLaughlin had a faster lap, but it got scrubbed due to an engine penalty. The fastest outright is in an LD RA at one minute, 59.2. And the quickest race, the quickest time that the race was finished was actually last year at five hours and 58 minutes.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

So nowhere in there does it say that. It's just Holden versus Ford.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

what was it when you were growing up?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Hey,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

how, how many years was it Holden versus Ford? Buck?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

oh.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It's all what Australian v eights is about.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Probably not as long as what you think it was because there were skylines and all sorts of stuff before that all started. you know,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

all I can imagine now is when electric cars start coming down, Conrad straight and get a flat battery.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I'll see what I can find.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Uh, just, it's not right. The Bathurst 1000 is Ford v Holdens. It's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I, I think you're wrong, but I also like, yeah, so it defined, it defined the race for six, over six decades. I. Six decades that it was Holden versus Ford sort of thing, but they were still in there. But they had other manufacturers in there as well. Like,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but at the end of the day, that race is predominantly Fords and Holdens.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but that's not, that's what I mean. That's not what it was designed for. It's supposed to be everyday road cars and then they test themselves. It's just the most popular road cars at like for a period of time were Ford and Holden and they were the suppliers for the V eights.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, but those, those cars are so popular because of the v eights.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, I know, but

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

SLA

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

He,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

they have a chance.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

If you could buy a Formula one car because of how popular Formula One is, people would do that too.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, well, they probably would, but. I dunno, I don't know. Things like this have to evolve and I'd actually like to see it just change to an outright GT race rather than whatever it is now, just so it can, I'd like to see more manufacturers in rather than FRI seven forward, to be honest. I know super is coming next year with Toyota, which I'm kind of excited about, but you know, you're seeing'em with Mercedes and Nissan that they didn't stick around too long and I think it's just, they don't wanna put the money into it, to be honest. You've always got

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

is it gonna be, is it gonna be advantage of all the different shapes of the cars? Because when it was Ford versus Holden, they pretty much ran the same shells. Now with Toyota and all that in there, they're all not gonna run the same shells.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

no, and I don't think they need to I don't know. I, I think they need to change it a little bit. I think what's killed the support behind, it's when they switch most of the races over to Kao. I know a lot of people that won't buy Kao'cause that's all they'll watch. They don't wanna watch all the other sports and can't see the justification of paying for it. And there's not that many on free to air. I haven't watched Free to Air Eights or Supercars in ages. I watch the Supercars every chance that I get. I, I actually really like watching them watching the Supercar race, but I still think that, well they tried changing it this year'cause they've got a final series and all that, which is more NASCAR based. I don't actually understand how it works, but. I think they do need to change their sort of format in a way to bring back popularity because the 12 hour Bathurst is gaining more popularity and that's just GT 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_10-07-2025_195940:

You,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

'cause I just refer'em.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

That's the thing too, old day Bathurst, it was a whole day event.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the actual Bathurst race, it, it's over and done with in under six hours. Like you, you can't even cook a brisket watch the end of the race eating a nice, nice brisket because the race is done and dusted.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Well it doesn't start until like 11.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. And it's over at four o'clock.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, I, I think the one thousand's being outdated a little bit. I, I would like to see it a little bit longer, but you know, they have the 12 hour race at the beginning of the year, which is most of the drivers in this anyway, that race in it. So yeah, 24 hour racing's really popular overseas. But I don't see it, I dunno if it would be popular here. I think it'd be a cool concept to have a 24 hour Bathurst race.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, it's, it's a lot like the Dakar rally and stuff like that where they're running for

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

long period of time and that, that endurance thing like Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

a whole new concept too. The race,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, yeah. Well, I, I've picked out a few that, you know, I. But I think or a chance of winning, mo it and Cool tar, there's a lot of experience in that team to, to win it and Mo it's a freak to begin with. Reynolds and Holdsworth Reynolds has won before. Just like mo it,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

do you

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

down from the Grand Final at the weekend?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

hey, wrong Reynolds, David Reynolds, David Reynolds, Fannie and Wing Cup Fannie's leading the championship at the moment. It's pretty much been unstoppable this season. And Wing Cup being Win Cup probably one of the best, And then there's Brown and P as well, both with the Red Bull as well. And then waters and winter bottom I think's a pretty strong team. But you've still got the reigning, reigning winners from last season. Eck and Hazelwood at DJ R now instead of Abu. So they're, they're a chance to go back to back and back to back's been pretty popular the last couple of years. So yeah, I just thought that was my, my little lad who we use back and, or you're just not,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Um.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

why are you coming for forward?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I, I've always thought win cup's pretty good. So yeah, I would probably, probably back win cup

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Well that's the thing with me getting supercars, I don't really support a manufacturer. I don't really support a team. I just like drivers.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

this day and age, they chop and change

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, they do, they

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

a lot. Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's not like the old days where, yeah, they drove for one team for multiple years, like.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

some of them do. Some of them do, but they, they swap and change where they wanna be all the time. I, David Reynolds always seem to jump on his bandwagon'cause I just think he's a, he's a fun dude and, I really like Cam Waters. I think he's an really, really good driver, at Tifford. But yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it goes. Anyway, MOS it's probably one of my 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, to be honest.'cause I do love watching it and I love when it comes up every year.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, not at work.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I'm, I haven't been at work for a Bathurst yet. Normally that's the week before and I'm off the next week, which I am off this week. yeah. Anything else you just want to add to the sport this week?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

not really.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Anything else coming up you are excited for?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

probably one thing we didn't touch base on there was the, new South Wales Cup, Queensland Cup. And how one sided that game was

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the was just ate them to pieces.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the first

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

And

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

minutes of that game. I thought, this is gonna be tight contested. They'll go on for set, they'll just, and then, I don't know, Boyd proved why he needed that next, new contract. he got a one year deal to stay at the was, but I don't know. It'd be, it'd be a few teams looking at him, I think. And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think the Bears should step up and take notice of him, not, not as. They're straight up half back. But definitely as an option in depth wise, I believe

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

at that as but then I also thought. There's one team in the NRL hasn't signed a half back for next year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

he's not going back to the Titans

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Canberra. Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

haven't signed a half back. Ethan Strange is a good six and I wouldn't move him, but I think sticky could, could

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think I, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

bit out of 10. Boyd,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I'd probably agree with you to be honest, because he'd be a, he'd be a pretty good little buyer for him'cause he'll do his job

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I, I haven't, I dunno much about the depth of at Canberra,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

well. I think they've got a young half pack that's coming through,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I dunno if he's ready yet. I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

NRL really, I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

then yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but at the same time, you're not gonna know until you put'em in either.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

that's right. And I don't know Te Tanner Boyd. was playing reserve grad at the start of the year, so not many clubs would've been looking at him. But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

he come in when they needed him and he'd done a good job. And then,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I've, he, he'd done what he had to, I still think he needs more time in the NRL.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think he's been hard done by, by being at the Titans and how woeful they were and was kind of a scapegoat. I think that he, he does offer something. I don't think he's as bad as what people seem to think he is, to be honest.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

think, I think at the Titans, the biggest thing up there was come in around the back end of Ash Taylor and Ash Taylor was playing some horrendous football,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Oh, Ash Taylor. Ash Taylor left the Titans and went into the Warriors. For him to move into that position.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Think, I think he's been a bit of a victim of the fact that they bought David for feeder on such a big contract and didn't have much room to move to put better players around him either.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

And he was debuting there and just starting out his NI real career. So that can be a bit hard when you haven't got the cattle around you to be able to prove yourself. Like

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

he's not, he's not one of those players that's gonna stand up and be the X factor,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, and I think that'll be the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but he can control,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

to the Bears as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

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 they had no choice. So. But

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

so,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

might what is, do you just wanna do the Bears episode next week? Maybe?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

no, I reckon wait till November one, once the,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I want to, I wanna try and do it before November one so we can get our, our thoughts in before they actually start doing it. They're probably not gonna sign anyone on the 1st of November. Mind you, that's when they can start talking to people legally.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I mean, biggest thing at the moment is R 360.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Yeah. after watching the rugby the other day, I don't know how much input a rugby league player can put into rugby union. Like Sue Ali. He played a lot of rugby union growing up, so he sort of knows what to do. And he held his own the other night and he's very good at it. But, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

at the players like PPEN, Hausen, Munster, can

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

like those wings or outside centers. Fullbacks

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, I actually, I read today,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Going over there and playing fullback isn't gonna be that of a change. To

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

no.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

he plays at Melbourne. He just, is gonna get given more of a license playing union

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

he doesn't have that full on structure like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

well, I read today that rugby Australia's chasing monster as well,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

where Munster plays on the union field.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

well, I was, what I, from what I was reading today, it's four fly half. So for the number 10.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

And I've, he is a weird one for me'cause you sit there and watch him, it looks like he's doing nothing and he's just tearing through a team. And I don't understand why the only other player I've ever seen that plays exactly the way he is is Wally Lewis. When you're watch highlights, it doesn't look like anything's going on. They look half confused, but for some reason they're just tearing teams apart

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I've watched Monster play some games and I swear he is drunk.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, that's what I mean. he, he has, it looks like he has no idea what's going on and all these players are just fallen off 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 they just don't. And I thought it was pretty funny the other day how, they asked, Bellamy about what they could have improved and they said probably tackle him. That was his response. just tackle Walsh. it's not that hard. But in, in Bellamy's defense though, he did say that getting to a grand final's, hard winning a grand final's, impossible. And he, he said that Brisbane played better and, took it on the chin. He wasn't blaming anything or anything like that. I think he thought his players could have played better, but,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

watching watching Walsh last five or six weeks, and then I think. You don't, haven't seen as many defensive lines up on him. They've let him get the ball and actually get up to speed

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think it's because he's so quick. He gets the ball, he takes off. You don't even know what's happening until it does.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it's not, it's not just this year that's happened.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

he had papa on the weekend.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

PPEN.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

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 that Brisbane won that game. Plain and simple.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I dunno. And the other, What about the Brisbane women? Didn't expect them to win

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

But then looking back through a lot of the other results through the year, they finished the exact same as the roosters. Roosters beat'em through the year. That's why they went.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the only team Brisbane lost to was the roosters.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And same now that

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And then the only team the roosters lost to was Brisbane and the grand finals.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and I,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the girls, the roosters girls did have three injured players. eight minutes to go. Like two of them couldn't see outta one eye.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

those was a bad head clash.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That was horrible. Hey, who was the

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

was,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

that eyebrow was, I don't think I've ever seen anything swell up so quick. Hey.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

What about old love's cheekbone?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, well, both of'em,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Both.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

that was that. That cheekbone went black instantly.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I dunno how neither of'em went to the head bin, though. I know it was the end of the game, but you know, if they wanna take that shit seriously.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And even, yeah, going down with her ankle or a calf, whatever it was.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Ankle.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I thought she broke it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

in, I know it's only a couple minutes to go, but for those couple of minutes she's more concentrating on her ankle than not having a serious injury, than worrying about the game in front of her.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Hmm.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Mind you that those Brisbane girls, thing. They come out in that second half and they just played better footy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I think the girls game's gonna fade off eventually to tell

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

If it stays the way it is, it will because it's too, they're too packed. The expansions are supposed to give opportunities for girls to go and play at other clubs and have a contract full time, and that's supposed to be how they even it out a bit. And it's just not really working,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

be honest. Yeah. I think if they get around and make it a more even competition, it'll be a lot better.'cause it, it was a good game to watch, no doubt about it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

If they want it to grow, then they've probably got a, I think we looked into it the other day about the salary cap, but I think they've gotta have it a lot more like the men's one

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

gotta try to, to be able to get to that stage, they've gotta be able to generate the money for it,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Oh, a hundred percent. I think that down to what we spoke about on the last episode, about'em playing the same days as the men bringing, bringing in crowds. So they're getting those ticket sales and then they're getting the, those television deals and,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Speaking of television deals, I'm pretty sure the broadcast deals up next year for the NRL I'd be happy to say they've got a pretty good thing to offer to TV stations after this season, to be honest. It's been pretty good.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

The, the rumor is channel seven.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. But the Landis is very good at telling 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 then they just throw more money at him.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

reckon, they reckon that's a pretty strong rumor, but Channel

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. I, I, dead set. I only watch nine for the origin and the Grand Final. That's it. Everything else is on ko.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It. Speaking of the Grand final, if it does get shipped around to whoever spends the most money, whether it be Queensland or Melbourne. Is Melbourne gonna get a a second day off? they get the Friday off before the A FL Grand Final every year. That's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

holiday.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So they don't have that Monday public holiday. The same as New South Wales. I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

stay in Sydney. Right? Right. It's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. I, I believe it should stay in Sydney.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

day and age. It is not that hard to get to Sydney, whether it be in our

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh. They were saying the other day to fly from Brisbane to Sydney for that day to stay the night or that weekend was nearly three and a half grand per person.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. But if the start of the year, there's a lot of people go there just for the fact that it's the NRL Grand final, whether their team's in it or not. if you paid for your tickets at the start of the season and then your team doesn't make the eight and you cancel those tickets, you're not losing anything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And you're getting the tickets at a quarter of the price.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Yeah. When you look at it that way,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Book'em in in advance and yeah. Not have to worry about that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

for most places in New South Wales, for me to go to Sydney five and a half hour drive, it's not that bad these days.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No, no.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, it,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

If they changed it to a day game, it'd be a lot easier for, if I'm off that day anyway. It'd be a lot easier for me to drive down for the day, watch the grand final and come home. But being at the time that it is, it makes it really, really long day to come back home.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah. But if they change it to a day game, what do you do with the other games?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

You just have to play'em earlier.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That's why I was saying the other day, if they change, you can still get 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_10-07-2025_195940:

but it, you're not gonna have a game played at 5 5 30 because it interviews news broadcasting on channel nine and channel seven

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I don't think that news broadcast is important. Is as important as what it once used to be.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

there. But people like MB N's not gonna look at it that way. Like they've got that six o'clock time slot for the news, for all their breaking news, everything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Like they're not gonna just shift that out of the way to play a grand final.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And then if it does happen to go to Queensland or Victoria, when you've got those, those different times,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Well, you've got Perth coming up too.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

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 on NBN. When the news and everything's on and then they come back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and I guess that'll depend though, if that broadcasting deal comes up and KO or Fox, somebody like that gets the whole thing, well then

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

why it can't go back to a day Grand final and have a more compact.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well I think, I think Liny said the other day that, that it's definitely on the cards to change it and it's taken some convincing, but it might, might go back to that time. but I, I, I reckon they're gonna end up putting the girls on say the sad before the day before.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

maybe.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

also also read today that, Phil, Andy said that they're going ahead with buying a 59% share in the Super League as well. I've also read that they're back in. French super league. but one, the one that I read today that they were looking at a European NRL Europe or something like that is what it said. I don't think NRL Europe's really,'cause it's National rugby league, you can't have a continent and call it national. So it's just something to keep an eye on, I suppose. And I don't know, I guess by February we'll probably have more of an idea around that sort of thing, but Yeah. Yeah. So we gonna, the darts or we're gonna take the, take the podcast on the, on the, on the road to the darts in Youi.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

When is it this weekend?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I dunno when it is. I didn't look at the date

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it was the 11th.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I thought it was, I thought it was for frigging

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I'm pretty sure it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

next year.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, I'm pretty sure it was the 11th.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

It would be pretty cool to go. Yeah, it is the 11th of October.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

even know it was coming to Newcastle till I sent that the other day.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

It's only in Sydney most of the time,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well, I'll be at work, so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and you'd probably get castrated if you told your wife you're going off to the darts.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah, probably. so Hoover, do you get a PS five this week or

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, I didn't.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

back on that arc grind again.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

grind.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. I've had two weeks out in the bush and come back and found

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

two days in the bush. Yeah. Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

And yeah, back grinding again.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well I've, I've played a fair bit this week actually. I've done a bit of football manager, bit of fifa, but, what I did look at,'cause I downloaded Assassins Creed shadows, I've been playing Ghost of Ashima because it's free on the PlayStation thing and I just wanted to compare'em and Ghosted Ashima is heaps better. And the only reason I had a look at Ghost of Ashima was'cause I was looking at buying Ghost of Yoti, 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 gonna probably order that while I'm at work on Thursday or something. So it's all the unloaded and ready to go on Friday and yeah, see how that goes. And hopefully Battlefield six will. Bounce back to where it once used to be.'cause I've always liked the, battlefield ones better than call duty because of the physics in it and stuff like that. It was just a lot more, not more fun, but you know what I mean.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So long story short is you need one of us to make up a spare bed because probably gonna get outta the house for buying a new game this weekend.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No, I will be able to cover it. It'll be right. So yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

come home with a bunch of flowers and some chocolate or something before you turn the PlayStation on. when's the project Car app?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

It is not project Cars Pro project motor racing.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Same

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

not until like March or something.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Hmm. I keep seeing things pop up.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh. They're slowly feeding stuff through it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I'm actually getting more excited about it every time I see it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Is it gonna compete with charisma?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Well, it's made by the same people that have made project cards.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

you like green charisma.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it depends on the gameplay. The idea behind it is more appealing to me than Grand Jmo because it is a, you set up a race team and it's got pit stops and you know, the whole appeal and idea behind it is what I like.'cause I like project cars and project cars too. And it's more like that. It's more like actually having a career where Grand Tri Mode is not really, it's a car collector.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, I, I am excited for it and I will play it, but it's gonna come down to the gameplay.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

So next question, steering wheel or controller, are you gonna get the wheel

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I haven't got so that much money, I don't know. I'll probably look at it and it comes out in November. There you go.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Month away?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. Yeah. It can already be pre-ordered though. It doesn't have a price on that.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I don't like when they have a thing that says mods, but yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, it'd be

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

for that.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

see what kind of memory stories we're gonna need for it too. There's anything you like Grant

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah, I don't know if it's gonna be as big a game as Green Triggers, mate. Well, it is made by the same people that made project cars. I think. Although I know that someone involved with project cars is also involved with this, they're just sort of going back to that, proper racing type thing, So

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah. Well, I don't know. I, keeps seeing more and more gameplay videos and yeah, it's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

actually it was another game that I was a little bit interested in the other day. the Open World, Lord of the Rings game.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I've watched a few videos on it and. Yeah, that one I didn't mind. A few of the early Lord of the Rings games.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

this one being open world. It's, gonna be,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

if it, it's supposed to be like the Harry Potter one, like

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

the new Harry Potter one, and I actually enjoyed the new Harry Potter one, so I'm definitely gonna be given that one a go, so, yeah. Yeah. I always wanna get into predictions. Any games you're looking forward to? Hoover,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I don't have much time to look at at the moment.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

rust

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Sorry. He was looking at PlayStations last week.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I, I, I'll get you hooked on Rust

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No, don't play rust.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

is good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That's a second job. I don't do it. I wish I'd never told you about that game.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

rust is good. I actually, did play, I was on the computer the other day doing some invoicing and looked on the home screen and my, I haven't played rust for a while and spent the next eight hours playing rust.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

So you went to do like some work for your business. So you like that kid that goes and plays his room and plays with all his toys instead of cleaning his room.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I got all my invoices done first, and then yeah, when I went to close the computer down, I'm Hmm, I'm gonna play some rust.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Fair enough?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

But no, rust is good as long as you can, if you've got a good team or it's hard when you're doing it by yourself. And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

of the servers I play are

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, I,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

servers now, so

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

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 go backwards and forwards between games all the time. I get bored and I just go, oh no, I'm just gonna play that. Look. I played 60 different games in like three days just this weekend because I just play what I feel like, so,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

but

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

on computer's a lot different.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I am looking forward to seeing what the Rust Mobile's like to see what the gameplay's like compared to computer and PlayStation.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Probably not that good.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

no, but you phones are getting better.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

phones are getting more and more and you see all these different phones these days that are dedicated

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but yeah, don't know. Wait and see.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I might, I might have three different base locations going

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

On three different systems.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

computer, PlayStation, and phone.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Imagine if they'll cross play.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well that was a big, big talk I was reading and yeah, they're trying to get it to the stage where it will be cross play so you can

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

your base while you're at work on your phone.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

yeah. No. Well that that,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

that was, that was the big thing when it first come out on console was'cause

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

imagine you're just sitting at home, you get a notification that you're getting raided and have to jump onto Rust.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That'd be pretty funny.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

doesn't help me when I'm working in the middle of nowhere.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I don't think you're convinced Uber to play this game either. Just shaking his head no, fuck that.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

I, I just looked it up. It looks like Minecraft.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Nah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

really.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Heaps better than Minecraft.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

No, it wasn't what I thought it was when I first said about it coming to console. I'm oh, we should go play this. I thought it was a lot different to what it actually is. It's it's not that it's bad, it just takes up a lot of time and I don't play it for that reason because it just takes up too much time. You work so hard and then everything can be just taken away in a flash,

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

it's not really worth it.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

it's even since when you last played it, they brought out those strict console dedicated servers now. And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

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 at 10 o'clock at night, say, and then an hour later you're getting raided by some European

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

While you're in bed. Yeah.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

just woken up and it's gonna sit there for the next 16 hours.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Yeah, I, I'd think about it if I wasn't so excited about playing Battlefield six.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Yeah, well see. That comes back to that memory thing on the PlayStation and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah. Or

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah, it's still shit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I think I'm gonna need to upgrade my storage anyway.'cause, you know, GTA six will come out and I'm gonna buy it and it's gonna be massive and it'll probably take up the whole PlayStation on its own.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Why I actually thought about that the other day. Do I buy new PlayStation five and give mine to the kids for Christmas,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I thought, I thought about giving Bodhi my PlayStation five and getting a pro as well. Don't you worry for that reason.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

but then.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I like better graphics, bigger storage. GT six, so

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Then, yeah, my kids will fight and argue over it and then be World War iii, Seven will be happening.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh, he is ready for the predictions.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

was

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

yeah. And then I just double checked one of my predictions and we can't actually put the bet on the Sydney Kings because they've got another game to play before. So Sports Bet doesn't allow us to

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Oh,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Soccer. going for of them. Chelsea de beat nodding for us

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Yeah.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

and gonna go a league baseball. The LA Dodgers to beat the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

I didn't know he was a big baseball fan.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No. it's something different. Something

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

the LA Dodgers based

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Adelaide.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Adelaide. When we, when we, when we, just before we started recording, Hoover was telling me his predictions. He said The Adelaide Dodgers were gonna win in the NB Major League baseball.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

hey, they've come a long way. They have.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

That's still not as bad as z cole and the NBL, the Australian NBA. So,

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, it is. It's the Australian version of the NBAI know what it's called.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

All right. Whoever's got the Dodgers and Chelsea to win this weekend. I did notice with Nottingham Forests, though they've seen a couple of articles today that Ang might be getting sacked three weeks after starting. So if that happens, we'll have heaps to talk about.'cause that is, that is pretty bad. That's pretty cutthroat. You're getting sack three weeks into a job. So I think it's'cause he is lost all seven of his games. He's played though, from what I was reading today, I've got the bills to bounce back after losing their first game of the season this year. yeah, I think they'll bounce back next or this week and yeah, I've got Liverpool to beat me and United and keep their a PL or their Premier League streak going.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Well, yeah, this is not much happening in the ice hockey either. It starts tomorrow, but there's, I always thought there was more games than that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Hey, what do you mean?

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

This is not many games.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Let me have a look. There's only like 14 teams or something. There's not that many teams in.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Mm. All right. So gonna go. Ho's gone black.

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, I'm, I'm still here. I'm still here.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Once you go black, you never come back over. well, yeah. To keep it, it different. I only go with two women's teams and Brisbane Lions, a FL Women's teams to win, and the Australian women's team to beat Pakistan in the Cricket in the World Cup.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

Ah. Anyway, hopefully we haven't won a single one of these predictions yet, so hopefully this week's our first week and yeah, we'll see how we go. I've gone for a few. Oh, I wouldn't say sure things, but, but yeah. So have you got anything else for this week?

squadcaster-d5bb_1_10-07-2025_195940:

No, not really.

squadcaster-ac6d_1_10-07-2025_195940:

Nah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_10-07-2025_195945:

no. All right. So not heaps to watch this weekend, but it'll be all right. A league starts in two weeks, so we can get behind that, I suppose. And yeah, until next time, it's buy from us.
