Welcome to the Inca here in podcast.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 0:12

Welcome back for episode 15 of the Inca Here podcast. First one for 2026 big year ahead, and we're gonna look at that year today, I guess, for a few things. But boys, how was your Christmas back at work now?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 0:30

Yep. Back to work. Now was a good little break. Yeah. Shame. It wasn't long enough.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 0:37

Oh, I didn't really get a break, and if I did have a break, I don't think I'd be looking at any part of it. That was good.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 0:42

You work six months a.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 0:44

You have a break every four days. I dunno why you even think you need a Christmas holiday.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 0:50

No, I've got nearly the whole of March off, so I'm not complaining that bad. I'm,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 0:57

are always complaining. Holiday is pretty good. I mean, winning the inaugural fucking incoherent cup, like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:07

well, that's why my days off weren't the best. went to a golf course and watched U2 play golf, and I have no idea what I was doing or somehow got worse.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:17

and we didn't even really play golf. We played a bit of whack fuck. And

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:23

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:25

I didn't even get the whack or the fuck down. I just was there.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:28

you were just making sure the, um, fringes were all right. From one side of the, to the other side.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:35

I was just boosting confidence for anybody that's seen it. That was terrible.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:40

one thing. When you pay your green fees, you get full use of them.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:47

What do you get me buckets worth though. So, yeah. What else happened Other than me getting flogged at golf? Zach winning. Oh, it,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:57

flogged.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:57

I better explain what, what ended up happening.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 2:00

Yeah. But Zach got flogged by golf ball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 2:03

Oh yeah, that did happen. There's your arm.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 2:05

because pussies puss And I just took one for the team because that's what I do.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 2:12

No, we didn't. We didn't push it out. We all got it all organized'cause it was freaking hard enough trying to organize it. I've come off night shift, gone and got all my stuff, got me little fella and took him with me'cause he wanted to play golf and completely forgot the plastic golf balls that was supposed to be whacking each other with. So instead of doing the whack thing,'cause I was the one that seemed to realize that we're in our mid thirties and probably shouldn't be, know, playing jackass with each other and hitting golf balls at each other. So from now on you lose a bet that's a stroke added to your scorecard when we play golf. it works out way better and it fits in way better with the podcast though, that didn't help me because I started off nine and me game did not. Help that whatsoever. And yeah, so I don't need 154 on me scorecard next time. So we really need to figure out a way that I can earn my strokes off so I can at least start 20 under to be competitive. So,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:12

I don't, 20 under doesn't even.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 3:15

it doesn't, but I don't wanna talk about that.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:18

Let's think you, you think of it this way,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:20

still get beat by 30.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 3:22

I'm pretty sure I retired the other day. I don't think I'll be playing golf ever again, so I definitely won't be playing after night shift.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:31

so even if me and Zach played 27 holes, we still would've beat you playing 18.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 3:36

I'm very aware. Very aware.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:39

It was good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 3:40

It wasn't too bad, but then being backed up with the loss yesterday, that that kind of hurt. It kind of hurt more that I was playing PlayStation, watching the game and talking to Zach at that same time. So he gotta experience me whole hissy fit. But yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 3:57

The boy was not a hissy fit. You threw a tantrum like a 3-year-old.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 4:02

we had it in the bag. I went through so many emotions in that last two minutes.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 4:07

You didn't have it in the bag. There was about nine minutes left on the clock

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 4:13

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 4:14

and you threw an interception. At that point I thought you were done.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 4:22

but we weren't, we weren't, no, we weren't done. We were just, yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 4:27

just got beat. That's done.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 4:29

I had a lot more frigging.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 4:30

You might as well be playing in the spoon bowl.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 4:33

Loop was the best, the best kicker place kicker coming through the college system for the draft. And that was the main player that we wanted.'cause we let go of Tucker last year after he had woman problems, who was the best got field goal kicker for a long time and we replaced him with the next best up and coming because of legal issues and he just didn't have it. So hope he bounces back from it though, because I don't think I could go through that again. I know he is been absolutely hemmed on Instagram by Ravens fans and yeah, shouldn't do that to players. If they make a mistake, you gotta, you know, you can't just torture'em on social media. It's not good for'em. They're young people and they are people. So at the end of the day, it's just a game. So I've been telling myself for the last two days, so yeah. Hasn't been a good week for me. Yeah. Hasn't been real good. But on the positive side, I didn't cut me thumb off on the 1st of January, so I'm on a streak injury free. So yeah. Anyway, while we're off, Australia retained the ashes and as soon as they retained it, I completely lost interest in watching it. What about you, Zach?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 5:56

Um, it would've been a good day to watch it today.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 6:00

our head. Head and Smith both got hundreds today, didn't they?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 6:03

Um, yeah. Had got another one 60, so I think he'll end up with play with the series bowled Well. Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 6:17

I think, I think Stark was more, more of a reason why we won it. Like, I know head done well on that, but his bowling performance in those per first two tests

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 6:27

that, that Adelaide test.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 6:29

and his bat in the second test.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 6:33

Yeah. Nah, I think, I think Travis head wins it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 6:38

Yeah, I'd back star. I think Stark's played really well.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 6:43

they'll bat for first few hours. And then depending on where Smith's sitting, if he's still in, if he's got his one 50, they'll think about clearing and they'll Yeah. Put England to the sword.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 7:05

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 7:05

England won't want to draw, they're not that type of team. They won't bat for a draw.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 7:11

No,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 7:11

to either win it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 7:13

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 7:13

or they'll go down swinging.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 7:15

Australia's done pretty well over the Ashes series, but where would you rate England at? Is it a poor performance or was Australia just too good?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 7:25

England always struggle in Australia, they're used to playing on green decks over there, overcast days with the ball hoops around. Hasn't done that here in Australia.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 7:36

I know they complain about the MCG pitch.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 7:40

there's, there's always one wicket, every series that's played in Australia, there's always one wicket that gets complained about, right? It happened against Pakistan a couple years ago, India, a few years before that. Like there's always a wicket Australia that gets complained about and it's no different to when we go to the subcontinent

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:01

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:01

batting on Indian wickets that are turning fucking sideways.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:06

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:07

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:08

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:08

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:09

Who's the, who's the next test team comes out? South Africa.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:13

uh, I'm not sure. I haven't looked that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:15

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:15

There's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:16

I'm not sure whose turn it is.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:18

pretty sure we GY New Zealand in a one day series,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:24

Yeah, I meant the test series, how they rotate it each year. India's just gone, so South Africa would be there about,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:31

have, they've been the last few years

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:34

is South Africa back at number one test team mate, is it still, is it India or, or is it just Australia?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:42

uh, South Africa won the Test Championship. I don't know how they rank them now.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 8:50

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 8:50

yeah. The, the point systems, I don't even know do it because some countries play test matches in a year

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:00

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:00

seven.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:02

could be like a college football type system where it depends on the strength of the team you're playing

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:07

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:08

you get rated, and that's how they do it, that that college system confuses me.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:13

a, Australia played five more test matches than South Africa last year,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:17

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:18

but South Africa played in the test championship because of their win percentage,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:23

Yeah. But I think that that's what I mean, like I think it comes down to the quality of the opponent. if you are playing, if you are playing Bangladesh or Ethiopia every week, you're probably gonna, you know,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:34

Uh, Australia play the best teams every year. Whether we are going to India or whether we're going to South Africa,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:41

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:42

Indies, like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:43

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:44

yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:45

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:46

but I still stand by my selection. Predictions in the start of the by Webster should have been included.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 9:55

yeah. It was put in for the last test, wasn't it?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 9:59

Yeah. He is playing in this one

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:02

batten with Smith at the moment, driving balls all around the, but he SCG so

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:09

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:09

why he was left out.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:11

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:12

yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:14

Do you see KJA retired. Well, at the end of this series, he is retired done. So is there any more turnover you think gonna come? For the test team or set for a while. Smith. Smith would be close, wouldn't he?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:31

uh, Smith's same age as US, 36.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:34

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:35

a couple more years in him,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:36

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:37

he's still scoring centuries,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:39

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:40

gonna keep playing while ever he is.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 10:42

Oh, I'm happy for him to be there. As as he is capable, I suppose.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 10:47

yeah, I think Webster will probably come into that test team Kaja in that middle order, maybe. I don't know. They're pretty set on head being at the top,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 11:02

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 11:02

be surprised if Australia. Going to B England have any kinda lead, I wouldn't be too surprised if Kja sent out to open the bat

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 11:15

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 11:15

his send off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 11:17

It'd be kind of a nice way. I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 11:18

Uh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 11:19

I think he's done pretty well.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 11:20

drop head back down, even though he's bating wells scoring centuries. For fun, I think Kja will get his send off and get the opportunity to bat.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 11:31

We can do the NFL playoffs. So end of the regular season Ravens are out and a few other teams, 49 ERs are out after making the last, what, four or five Super Bowls. Um, a little bit of a surprise that they went out as early as what they did, but I've got all the, all the games out. So you've got the buffalo, we'll do a f, C first. Bills, Jacksonville, Jaguars play each other. I think the bills are gonna win. Hoover and Jaguars,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:03

Sgu

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:03

team now?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:04

They gotta be.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:05

So they're your team now.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:07

Yep. They're my team.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:09

you do know that the 49 ERs are in?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:13

The 49 ERs play the Eagles.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:15

Another 49 ERs, the Chiefs.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:17

I was

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:17

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:18

about say,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:18

I've

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:18

I was about to say, I was about to say,'cause I've got the 49 ERs, like I've just done a little weekly prediction

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:25

I

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:25

49 ERs play the Eagles.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:27

I messed up. I, um, yeah, no, I met the chiefs. The chiefs were out early after making the last four or five Super Bowls. So Bit of a Penrith Panther sort of situation, except they didn't make the, the finals. So, but I've got the, I've got the bills beating the Jaguars. Hoovers on the Jaguars. Zach?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:48

Um, I am on the Jaguars. But it's a game that Buffalo could quite easily win.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 12:57

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 12:59

I reckon it's gonna be a close game. It's not gonna be a blowout. I reckon it will be close. It'll be down to probably the last quarter I reckon.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 13:08

Well I think the, um, the bills are the most experienced playoff team in the playoffs at the moment and they've never won a Super Bowl. They went to four Super Bowls in a row, never won one. I think it might be close to the Bills time if they don't go on a run this season. I think that might be the end of their run'cause they have struggled a bit this year. you know, got one of the best quarterbacks. He was Player of the year last year, so, yeah. Um, second a FC game. Got LA Chargers up against the New England Patriots. I've got the Patriots'cause they've had an outstanding season. Their young quarterbacks just absolutely killing it. So

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 13:52

I've actually put down charges.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 13:54

charges.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 13:55

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 13:56

That

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 13:57

are drunk, Hoover,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 13:58

that's a game that, you know, I, uh, I think when I've done, yeah, I looked at that one. I'm, I'm pretty confident in the Patriots, to be honest. They've, they've played too well this season to throw it out. Week one, I think I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 14:13

I'm, in the Patriots it'll come down under being a young half, uh, quarterback, not half bat. whether he's got under that pressure,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 14:28

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 14:28

like he's, or no, like it's, it's a whole different ball game come finals.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 14:33

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 14:34

got the ability to step up in the big game, which found out that the Ravens kicker does not have that ability, pressure got the win.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 14:45

I was gonna cop this all night, aren't I?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 14:47

Yeah. And, and to give a little bit of playback prior to that set, you were actually talking about him kicking it from 70 yards

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:00

I didn't say 70.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:01

and doing it with ease, and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:04

I said, all I said was, they only need to give you, get to 60 to give him a shot. And you said they won't kick it from 60. And I told you that they kick him from 60 all the time. Because

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:14

aware that they

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:15

the thing,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:16

but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:16

the thing that, thing that I've been meaning to say on the podcast they changed the rules this year where the home team's in charge of the kicking balls. I didn't even know there was a difference between throwing balls and kicking balls, but apparently there is. And since they've changed that rule, there's been a lot of records broken for distances on field goals.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:38

What do you mean by the chat? There's difference between the balls.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:41

there's difference in the balls. So they've got a throwing ball they've got a kicking ball

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:46

One's got helium in it and the other one doesn't.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:48

Hey.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 15:49

What? Like different like helium or something? All and the kicking balls.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 15:54

since, since the teams have taken,'cause it used to be an NFL official would provide the balls and now the NFL team themselves are in charge of the balls. Because you had that whole, you know, you had the deflate gate with the Patriots

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:07

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:08

where they were, had the balls were pumped, were flatter so they could grip it more and throw it. And you know, that's the Maro and Tom Brady's career or one of them.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:17

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:17

the teams they're in, they're in charge of the the balls for kick plays. So when you punt tour, you feel goals or you point afters and that there are different balls of what they throw with, because

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:29

So pretty much like if, if you are the home side and you are birthing someone that's a really good punter, you're just gonna say, oh, fuck it. Let's let the balls down a bit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:38

you can't do that. how they got caught.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:41

They've still gotta meet the standard,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:43

Yeah. There's still a standard that they need to meet, but.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:47

Yeah. Righto.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:47

Yeah, there's, there's ways because when you, when you go, like through YouTube and stuff, you can see how they condition balls for like throwing and playing. They

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:55

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 16:56

and it's like a whole industry thing. It's, it's

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 16:59

like, like Like the baseball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:01

Yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:02

baseball. How they do it with their balls. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:04

everything. They rub mud into'em and prep'em so that they're not shiny and slippery. They've got grip on'em and all sorts of things. That's why when you go like, not really here,'cause we don't get the NFL balls that often, but every now and then you'll see'em at like Big W or Rebel and that, and they're really shiny and they don't look anything like the game balls. The game balls are really dark brown and look leathery, but the exact same ball. They've just had heaps of mud and shit rubbed into'em. It's like special mud and, yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:31

They do that in the NRL, the trainers spray the ball of water.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:34

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:36

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:36

They've always done that. That's always been a thing. It is just like when they go, like in Canberra, Matt, John says about frigging, um, Canberra used to hose down the dressing sheds before they'd go

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:47

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:48

game so that they'll freeze in cold and turn

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:50

yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:50

off. things like that. They do little things like that all the time.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 17:54

Oh yeah. It's just a bit of fun.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 17:57

yeah, or tame ground advantage, like if you can get away with it, and it's a little thing like they, they do things like that on the field all the time that you wouldn't know about or wouldn't notice. James Maloney, when he was, when people's boots would fall off his throat into

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:09

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:10

he was doing that for ages and then they wouldn't have a boot, then they caught onto it and find him for it. Like, it's just little, little nuances, you know? So, but anyway, I'm, I'm, I'm on the Patriots. Zach, you're on the Patriots and Hoover's on the Chargers.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:27

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:28

All right. Um.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:30

these down too.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:31

The last, the last game is, uh, for the A FC is Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. I've picked the

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:39

Oh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:40

and it pains me, and it's, the only reason I picked the Steelers is at Aaron Rogers.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:45

hey, didn't I make a call there like, oh, a couple weeks ago too,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:49

Hoover, you can

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:50

the Steeler, the Steelers are the underdog, uh, like a surprise team.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 18:55

So they're, they're the dark horse.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 18:57

Yeah. Look, I'm gonna say they'll be close.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 19:00

Nah. I, I don't think Steelers, I don't think they've shown enough the other day even against the Ravens. I think they had too many flaws in their game, to be honest.'cause they had, had the feel like they left it wide open for the Ravens to come in. They just didn't take the opportunity. they sort of did'cause they got a couple of quick touchdowns as soon as they got the ball to put themselves in that position. old mate that slipped over trying to defend to give them an open touchdown. Probably, you know, that's probably a bigger fault than what the kick was. It was just the kick was in the moment to wrap it up and it was done if he made it and he just didn't like they're kicking miss their goal as well.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 19:38

And what did

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 19:39

I suppose, but I suppose beating the Ravens isn't like a big thing to brag about either.'cause like they're pretty much, they're pretty much like the, the Gold Coast titans in the NRL.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 19:49

they're not that bad. So the Ravens have very, very potent attack. They're

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 19:54

Yeah. Like the.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 19:55

quarter back and they're, you know, wide receivers are very, very good. Just when it comes to defense for some reason, they can get out to big leads in the first half and that second half their defense just kind of folds and teams come from behind and beat'em all the time. It's, it's a defensive issue. can get into leads and score points when they have to, which they show the other day so they can score points when they need to because Lamar and Henry are way too good not to, like the Steelers were scared of Henry and that's why the wide receivers were open and you know, flowers and that are just, good players, yeah. do you have outta the Texans and Houston? Sorry? Texans. Bick Steelers.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 20:43

Yeah, I, I took the Steelers as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 20:46

Yeah. Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 20:48

I, Aaron

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 20:49

In.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 20:50

Aaron Rogers is looking for that fairytale finish. Whether he is good enough to get there? Well, it's, well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 20:59

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 21:00

showed the other day that he's still got it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 21:03

Yeah. Um, and the, the number one seed, the 10th finish the top that, um, gets to buy this week's Denver Broncos. So they don't play this week, they play next week, and they just, they get a shorter run to the Super Bowl. Um, and the Seattle Seahawks, the number one seed for NFC. Um, the games in the NFC, you've got La Rams versus Carolina Panthers.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 21:28

Look, I, I did say the Panthers, but I'm gonna go, I, I did say the reams, but I think I'm gonna change the.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 21:35

Nah, I'm going, I'm going Rams. I've got Rams. I, I still think the Rams will probably win the Super Bowl, like Matt Stafford's had an outstanding season and I think they're just too good.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 21:51

No, I, yeah, Carolina win and then go out next week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 21:59

Yeah. Uh, green Bay Packers were Chicago Bears. It's kind of a big deal. Chicago Bears back in the playoffs. They were, um, a very low team for a long time. And Green Bay, green Bay could have a crack at run into the Super Bowl, I suppose.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:18

I actually took Green Bay.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 22:21

you took Green Bay? I've got Green Bay Bears, right?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:25

Uh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 22:26

San Francisco 49 ERs versus the Philadelphia Eagles and current reigning Super Bowl champions.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:33

yeah, I'm on Philly.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 22:36

Yeah, I've got Philly, I've, I've in the NFC of all those teams, I think Philly is still scammy'cause they could go on a run, so yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:49

I got 49 ERs.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 22:50

You've gone 49 ERs.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:52

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:53

got your Jared Hayne jersey?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 22:55

nah, I got 49 ERs,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 22:58

Yeah. Well it's not, it's not impossible. Like Purdy's still there, he's still a very quality, quality quarterback. So anything could happen. And that's, that's the thing about NFL, like anything can happen and it'd be completely against what I thought it had be, would've been at the beginning of the season. So,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:17

So what's your Super Bowl predictions?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 23:20

um, I've got s and Patriots. I think that's what, that's what the Super Bowl's gonna be. And I think the Patriots will come out winning. And I also think that Stafford will be the MVP for the season.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:33

Jaguar Steelers.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:35

They

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 23:35

They can't,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:37

they play

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:37

Oh, they are, they're gonna

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 23:39

that'd be impossible.'cause they both play for a FC. Bowl's, a FC team and an FFC team. Two different competitions that win their grand final then play each other in the grand final.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:50

Alright. Steelers.'cause I did call'em there a while ago and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 23:56

he's gotta have a look at what teams you picked in the other games, so he

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 23:59

no,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:00

team

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:00

I don't, I don't know.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:02

out.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:02

I don't know. I've just wrote'em down.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:05

I'm

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:05

Yeah, I don't,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:06

what team you're gonna get.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:08

sailers and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:10

You've got Panthers, bears, or 49 ERs or the Seattle Seahawks who don't play this week.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:17

Seahawks. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:18

So you've got Steelers and Seahawks Super Bowl.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:21

Yeah. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:22

Who do you have winning the Steelers? You're just gonna go Aaron Rogers as MVP.'cause he needed no.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:31

No,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:31

You are not gonna worry about an MV MVP'cause you don't know players that well. No, that

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:35

that's.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:35

alright. We don't use that.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:38

I've got Seattle

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:40

Yep,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:41

and I've got the Pats

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:43

yep,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:44

now. I think the Pats win it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:46

yep.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 24:47

I've, pats have been too strong all year and they caught that loss the other week the perfect time. They

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 24:57

I think the team that's copping it from us the most is probably the Denver Broncos.'cause they've, you know, they've won the NF A FC, so there's still a very big chance.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 25:07

they are, but they also, they quite possibly play Pittsburgh next week. Don't think Pittsburgh beat'em. I mean, Broncos go through, but then they'll either play the bills or Patriots. Actually, I've

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 25:27

we play with Bills, Ja Jaguar is gonna beat the bills.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 25:30

to beat the bills, so, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 25:33

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 25:33

But they're, they're, yeah, they're runs probably a lot harder than what Seattle's is on the other side.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 25:42

Yeah. Well, a FC is generally a, stronger conference as of recent years, but in saying that really won last year.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 25:51

are gone.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 25:52

No, I'm not that a FC north com like Very, very difficult minus the Browns, so, yeah. All right. Well that's our NFL stuff for this week. Anyway, so, um, I went through and I had a look at

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 26:12

for Mad Monday?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 26:14

Ravens.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 26:15

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 26:16

Uh, probably somewhere just in Baltimore. I wouldn't be going out in public.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 26:21

Uh, you don't think they would've jumped on a plane and fucked off somewhere?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 26:25

They probably did because Baltimore was pretty serious about their

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 26:30

They've just got, yeah, kick ass stuffed in the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 26:33

I don't know. But I do know that today that I read that there's six teams looking for a new head coach after their teams got knocked out, and the Ravens aren't one of them. So they, the Ravens coach has been there for a very long time and won a Super Bowl with'em. So I don't think they'll be moving on any time soon, but I went through and I had a look first episode of 2026. So I've gone through and, um, had a forecast of the sport for this year and. So what you boys are looking forward to this season in sport? Obviously we've got N-R-L-A-F-L, you know, all the normal seasons, end of the A PL, things like that.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:12

Winter Olympics.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 27:14

So that's the first one. February we've got the Winter Olympics in Italy. You is looking forward to the Winter Olympics or not really?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:22

I, I've

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:22

I don't, I don't mind.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 27:24

I don't, I don't mind the Winter Olympics either. I find it more of an X Games than,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:29

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 27:30

know, that's what they have. But at the same time, lose interest very quickly in the summer Olympics. not, I'm not really into that athletic stuff and it's always weird me how everyone's an expert on a hundred meter sprinting come Olympic time or when gouts running. It's just ridiculous. So.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:47

Well, he is not that, he is not that fast

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 27:50

Well, it, it

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 27:51

actual, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 27:51

it depends on the sport too. Like, I'm gonna watch, I'm gonna watch golf and stuff like that to see who gets the gold medal and stuff like that. But I'm, I'm looking forward to watching some ice hockey and for some dumb reason, every time the Winter Olympics come around, I'll put curling on just for a little fun and then I'll lose three hours of me life just watching it. For some reason. I'm just fascinated by it. I don't know what it is.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:11

dumb curling's.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:13

Feeling's Not that bad.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:14

I know. It's like lawn bowls. I don, I dunno, I lose three hours of my life. I don't intend to sit down and watch it for ages, but I just sit there. Just memorize.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:21

the lawn bowls of the Nova Hemisphere,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:24

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:25

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:25

so like. We, we don't play it much here in Australia because we don't have that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:31

We don't have ice.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:32

have ice. Like it's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:34

I think we've got an Australian curling team. I don't know that Skeleton thing's ridiculous though. Those single

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:40

Oh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:41

they go

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:41

that's, that's just stupid. Like why would you want to go. That fast head first. The other ice, we have no breaks.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:52

I dunno,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:53

Like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:54

why would you

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:54

like Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 28:55

Same

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 28:56

no, I I, I know like when it rains, you see a big hill and you get a boogie board out. You're like, oh yeah, it's gonna be good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:03

It's nothing

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:03

it hurts. It hurts coming off on grass, sliding down there. Imagine coming off on the ice. So

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:10

No.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:10

Johnson,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:11

It's a good watch.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:13

right. how you can work off your points.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:17

doing a skeleton where the,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:18

No, no, no,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:19

to do it? To start

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:20

no.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:21

And there's no way

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:22

Actually I, I know where he can do it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:26

the

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:27

No,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:28

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:28

exactly where he can do it. And it's close to his house too.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:31

oh no,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:33

You need to go up to the park up near the football field and go down that big steel slide.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:39

slide, that big

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:41

Head first. Head first. But me and Zach get to lube it up with soap and water

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:47

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:47

and we get to push it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:48

there's kids there.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:50

No, no, no. But we're just gonna put you on it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:52

Yeah, I know, but what are you gonna do with it after Hose it down? No,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:55

You've gotta

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:55

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:57

I'm

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 29:57

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 29:57

Monday for bodie's birthday party.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:00

yeah. So we're gonna send you down there, and then you're gonna jump and you're gonna go down past the football field.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:05

No, it's not gonna, it's got a long runoff. It would never happen. So, um, the second one I've got T 20 World Cup in India, Sri Lanka. He's looking forward to that. Got a prediction for it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:19

It. It's T 20. It's a World Cup, but it's T 20 I. Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:26

Would you? What, what would you rather a one day World Cup.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:30

yeah, a hundred percent.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:31

Okay. Oh no, no. It's, it's still World Cup.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:35

at all.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:36

Oh, it's still pretty good for opportunity for Australia. I don't see'em beating India and India.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:42

You never know.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:43

Uh, I know that they have before, it's gonna be a pretty big thing for the Indians. You call'em Indians. Can't say the other thing I'm thinking.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 30:54

I probably don't, no,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 30:56

Uh, what do you reckon wins it?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:00

I don't know. It can be. Yeah, being a World Cup, it can be anybody that turns up on the day, like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 31:07

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:07

it's, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 31:09

Uh, then the next big one was the FIFA World Cup in North America, June, July.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:15

Yeah. It's,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 31:18

got a pretty decent draw, to be fair, to, to get outta the group stages anyway, after that, it's, you know,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:28

wow. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 31:30

I'm not, I'm not sure if Australia's improving or what they're doing at the moment to be, to be fair. But how, how do you reckon being, being in North America, so North America, it's Canada, United States, and Mexico. Do you think the US a steps up and goes on a bit of a run, or do you just give'em no chance

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:52

no.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 31:53

because they're not the best at soccer, football?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 31:56

No, I don't think so. Um, your big European teams are gonna Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:04

Do England finally bring it home after a very long time? No.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:08

no. I, yeah, be, I'm going with Spain or Germany,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:15

Is Argentina in it?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:17

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:18

Argentina.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:19

It's messy playing.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:21

I'm not sure.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:23

I think he still plays in the us.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:25

yeah, yeah, he's still playing. He's still playing for Miami. But as for the, T 20, well cut, I think. Yeah, India do win it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:35

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:36

that's Coley's retirement

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:38

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:40

from T 20 internationals and that'll be him retired then from everything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 32:44

Well, I don't know. I think I like frigging Spain or Germany for the FIFA World Cup.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 32:53

I am probably leaning more towards Spain, but I said it depends. Like one team takes it a little bit too light and yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 33:06

Yeah. Um, also in July, August, you got the Commonwealth Games. I'm not interested in that whatsoever.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:14

nah, never been really all that into the Commonwealth Games.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 33:20

No. Um, there's a Women's Basketball World Cup as well, which I'm probably not gonna take interest in because it's basketball. I'm not real. Will be gone.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:30

basketball,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 33:31

Hey,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:32

you love basketball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 33:33

I really don't, I'm not a fan of it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:36

maybe you should download that game Hoover, or a bit of

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:39

Basketball.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:40

Yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:41

I think it's, I think it's free. Oh, no.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:44

you'll

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:44

One of them, yeah, one of them I've seen was free.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:48

Johnson can't play basketball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 33:50

Nope. play on the PlayStation. Can't play it in real life. Do not

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:53

You can't, you can't play anything that's do with balls.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 33:57

Oh no. He is used to playing with balls,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:00

Why would you do that? I edit. Remember I showed you the power of the edit, right? Watch what you say. Cup. After the Rider Cup for golf. Um, the, the thing with golf is with the Rider Cup, president's Cup, all this stuff. It doesn't really include Australia, but we don't

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:20

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:20

own premier golf thing to look forward to. Really? It's just all American people,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:26

Hey,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:26

so,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:26

Newton classy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:28

yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:29

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:29

there's that. Yeah. that getting played now? I don't think it'd play a Cyprus anymore.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:34

Vintage.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:35

The vintage? Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:36

Vintage or ridges? I think it was at Ridge. Oh no, the PG, the Australian PGA there was at, UM, ridges the other day.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:46

Jack Newton Classics played there too, I think.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:49

Yeah, well see it. It used to be at the Oak or Stonebridge, whatever you wanna call it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:53

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:53

That's where it used to be.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:55

Yeah, just a big charity golf day,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 34:59

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 34:59

Newton one, so pretty good thing. Um, and of course the probably one that we're gonna have the most knowledge on Rugby League, world Cup, Australia, New Zealand, and Papilla New Guinea hosting. I, I think Australia will probably win it. I worry about New Zealand'cause I think they've got a pretty strong team and I think that Australia's gonna go into it too softly,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 35:25

That's what I think too. I, I agree with you on that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 35:28

Zealand's gonna catch'em off guard.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 35:31

Yeah, I, I agree.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 35:33

I disagree because you had all these players defecting and going to play for their heritage. So I think Australia are gonna come out and want to prove a point that they've just lost out on winning a World Cup because they've gone to play for their heritage.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 35:49

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 35:49

think Australia are gonna want to win that World Cup and win it with ease.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 35:54

the other hand though, Samoa's performance will year, I think is gonna be a big factor that they've played a little bit more together. It's a bit longer of a and no, they're only getting stronger the longer that Four Nations went on. So,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 36:13

The, the dramas of those, those few teams that they've still got, the fact that they don't play. Enough international football, so that's always gonna be a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 36:23

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 36:23

on that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 36:24

Yeah. And that's a scheduling thing. Well, we're gonna have to wait and see what happens with the broadcast deal. You, you get the broadcast deal all sorted. And so that sort of thing's included in it. And I think that's might be something that they'll look at because I'm pretty sure that those countries, their TV audience is gonna be pretty big the last couple of years. And the rises from it, hey.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 36:48

and g are gonna get a bigger audience when their

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 36:51

Oh yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 36:52

into the NRL, so their international team's gonna grow from that,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 36:57

Yeah, it will, they'll, they'll get better from it. They've, they've already improved with players coming and playing in the NRL and stuff like that. But we'd have to see how the p and g experiment goes. And at this point it is only an experiment whether it works. And I hope it does work.'cause the people who are pap in New Guinea probably need that. would like for it to work. I just, I just can't see how it's gonna work.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:17

has to work because the Australian government's paid 600 fucking million dollars.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:21

Yeah, well

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:22

that's right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:22

that side of it too. But that's political shit that we don't need to worry about here. So I don't agree with it. I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:29

outta my tax.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:30

I know, I don't, I don't agree with it. I just ignore it, sort of, so, yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:39

that on the political path there, if Hansen comes in, well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:44

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:45

put a stopped. All of that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:47

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:48

P&g team.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:49

yeah. Well,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 37:51

So.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 37:52

all right, well I know it's probably a bit early'cause it's only our first week in January, but we're gonna start over the next six weeks. Start building a 2026 ladder. Um. Then I'm gonna thread'em all together into one big episode for a bo a bonus episode. But we'll do three teams each week. I wanna point out to start off the new rule changes. Um, there might be more rule changes come in between now and then. I know that the, the current ones they're putting in for, um, have to go through the players association to approve it. They'll probably, most likely will get approved. the, probably the biggest one that's gonna affect gameplay is the kickoff rule where the team that scored against chooses whether they receive or kick off the ball. It means Zach have two very, very big opinions on this, differing opinions change, which is good. It's part of the discussion, part of the argument. It's good for podcasts. what's your thoughts on the kickoff rule before Zach fires up?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 39:05

Look, I don't even reckon they should have changed it really, to tell you the truth.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 39:11

I, I think it's a very big change. I think it's a tactical change, and I

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 39:17

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 39:18

for viewership,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 39:20

but it, but is it a thing? Is it a necessary rule that needs to be changed?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 39:25

it's not necessary, and the way that I look at it is rugby league and rugby union are, the only two sports in the world out of all ball sports that play like that, where there's a kickoff and stuff like that. They're the only two sports where the scorer receives the ball back. Every other sport the person scored against, receives the ball back to have an opportunity to retaliate.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 39:50

You know, you know what rule I reckon they should bring in,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 39:53

What's

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 39:54

it's starting to be out to call forward passes on tries

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 39:57

Yeah. Do you understand why? Do you understand why the video ref can't do that though?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:03

but the, but the thing is right. You can see it's a blatant forward pass.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:07

is. There is

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:08

There is nothing they do.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:10

Uh,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:10

And that's where a lot of teams will blow out

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:12

yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:13

because there's blatant forward passes and they're scoring and you can't rule on it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:17

all

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:17

That, that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:18

the backwards of the hands and the fact that it floats forward if you're moving forward. It's just like if you drop an apple out of a car window, it's gonna travel forward no matter what you do. Even if you throw it backwards, it's,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:28

enough cameras on a football

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:30

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:32

they

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:32

to be able to tell.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:33

I think, I think there is a way that you can do it, but the thing is, if it floats forward, it's gonna look forward. But if it's

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:40

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:40

out of the hands, it's not class as forward.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:43

but the thing is the,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:45

on what a forward pass is, and if they go to It has to be,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:49

it from inside his 20 and it crosses the 10 meter line, it's fucking forward

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 40:54

yeah, I know that.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 40:56

does it and it costs the Cowboys a grand final birth. It's Ford.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:02

that's the thing. It costs a lot of teams, big games where

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:06

it's

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:06

you and. Anyone could see, even the commentators were saying Forward pass, forward pass. But there's nothing they can do about it where use a bit of common sense to say, Hey,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:17

yeah. No, I know. I know that there's, I know,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:20

That's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:21

know that there's a thing. It's just, it's hard. It's hard to police it of the angles and stuff. With the cameras, you

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:27

not really when they got the bunker there. The bunker there looks at every fucking thing else.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:32

Yeah, but they don't have, they don't have ev, they don't have a camera set up on every inch of the field to look straight across to see whether it does or not.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:38

You got the spider cam

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:40

the ball,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:41

need to fuck the spider cam off. Why can't they use a drone? I hate. That's stupid

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:45

isn't uh, I like the spider cam. It's good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:47

stupid. They don't, it's unnecessary. They have to set it up and all. They can just fly a fucking drone over there. It does the same thing. You can program it to fly itself.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 41:56

it doesn't matter

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 41:57

Put a little receiver in the ball so the drone follows where the ball is. It's not hard.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:02

Well, that's true too.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:04

should be keeping up with play every other sport. Touch judges keep up with play

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 42:09

Yeah. It comes back. It does come back to the touch judges, but the touch judges don't do much anymore

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:14

But the bunk,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:15

They shouldn't

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:16

the, the bunker, the bunker can see it all. They can fucking, they can rule on a fucking trial. No trial when you got 10 players on top of the ball over the line.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 42:25

to be

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:25

Like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 42:26

it. They need to change the ruling on what is determined as a Ford Pass to get rid of that floater. The thing that worries me is that if you get rid of all those ones that float forward and just say they're forward, when they're trying to throw'em flat, you get rid of all of them. You'll score less points because you're not getting that on the edge of the line over the line sort of thing.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 42:46

yeah. But what I'm saying is, is when at least, at least they're making a call where you've seen it, where there've been blatant forward passes and the teams know, the smart players know that they can get away with it and it can't be ruled against.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 43:02

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:03

And

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:03

Like, they're not throwing, they're

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:05

and say, I broke a fingernail. You gotta give me a penalty. So

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:09

Running into the markers and fucking chucking dives or, or this new block and rule for Field gold on that run at Harry Grant and running into Moses Liotta and throwing his arms up where he was never gonna do anything and he'd done it on purpose.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 43:24

that what they're trying to bring in when they're trying to

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:26

Fuck it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 43:27

for a five

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:27

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 43:28

for blatant

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:29

yeah. Five minutes in the bin for Diamond. Like they all, all they're doing now is they're making the game soft,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 43:35

The thing is though, that when they, when the bunker interferes much. Fans get the shits because the bunkers interfering too much. So then they try to scale it back that they only, they only interfere on tries and in this and in that, so that they're not, but they're there to watch it. And if there's something blatant, they should be able to call it on the spot and say, no,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 43:56

but they go to the bunker. They go to the bunker every try. Like you even watch when they do fucking, it's, it's a runaway drive and say Xavier Coates or that fucking 50 meters in front of everyone puts it down underneath the post. They'll check the grounding

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:14

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:15

why

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:16

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:16

don't need it. Like he's he's there by himself. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:20

every single one

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:22

Well, they get, they get,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:23

drop it.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:24

they can't because they haven't got cameras around everywhere on the field, so,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:28

you if they dropped it, so,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:30

well, they're not gonna tell you if they fr forward either.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:32

no, no. But they, they also need consistency over all the rules in general. Like, you know, Reese Walsh gets a penalty beat Canberra in that final, and then a couple of weeks later there's exact same things happen

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:47

There's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:47

with the exact same referee. It's,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 44:50

Oh yeah. Fucking head headbutts people and gets nothing.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 44:54

he was that too. So just the same as when people trip people over, they don't really get anything for it. They to, they, if they're gonna change rules, they just need to tinker with the current rules. I don't think they need to change this kickoff and shit like that. Keep it as it is, but they're gonna go with this, and I think it's gonna make a big effect on the way things happen. And it's the same as what I said to Zach earlier. When, when you go into Golden Point, and if I was to win that top coin toss, I'm kicking off and kicking deep every time because then you're putting the pressure on the, on the team with the ball to drop the ball in their own half and make it easier on yourself. You know, I, I don't want the ball in my half. I want possession like position on the field, and that's at the other end of the field. I don't wanna be my own end. So when you score a try, I would rather be kicking off to the team that scored almost every time. It, it'd be only if they scored and I'm two points behind and I'm trying to catch up that I'd wanna be kicked off to.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 45:51

So, uh, so Storm Titans for argument's sake.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 45:55

Yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 45:56

Two totally different teams. Storm. Storm will be at the Titans. They're gonna turn around and say, oh yeah, kick the ball to me.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:03

yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:04

Are they,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:05

Well,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:06

I re I reckon

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:08

it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:08

I think, I think there's gonna be a lot of teams that'll choose to kick off and just kick it short. I think it'll be,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:14

off fucking the, the short kick off and the short fucking dropouts. That's another fuck That should be just penalized

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:20

they're

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:20

kick. If it,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:22

they're gonna have a

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:22

if it,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:23

like the field position and stuff and that, and they're gonna come up with risk and reward.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 46:27

if it doesn't go over the 40 meter line, it should be a penalty.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 46:30

if the reward of getting the ball back overpowers the risk, then they're gonna kick short, kick short. That's why they do it for dropouts. Now, there's no consequence to kicking short. You don't get that penalty anymore for not making the 10. So it's not, there's no risk in doing it other than you've gotta defend your line for another set, set of six, and there's a chance they could drop the ball. So the reward outweighs the risk for kicking it deep. The only reason when you kick it deep is when you want'em away from your line, but also drop out. If you kick it deep and it's in the end of a game, that's given'em an opportunity for two points from a field goal as well, which a lot of teams can do. It's a tactical thing and it, it dead set gonna be a mind fuck through the season on what people do and stuff. I don't think, I don't think they're gonna take, it's gonna take'em a couple of seasons to fully figure out what the advantages of it is gonna be. I don't think you'll see much this

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 47:26

By that time.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 47:27

unless they want the ball back.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 47:29

By that time, you're not gonna be able to kick the ball off. You're not gonna be able to fucking tackle. It's gonna go the whole touch. Football rules. That's how it's getting to

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 47:36

So

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 47:37

at this point. At at, at this point, I reckon like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 47:40

say much. Go to the touch football. I think what they're aiming for is for entertainment for viewers. That's what they're looking for. Trying to make the most exciting close product.'cause the closer the games, the closer the season, the more people that are gonna watch it. know, if you're a, if you are like, know, a team coming last that's got no chance of making the finals halfway through the season, that's a whole fan base that are probably not gonna watch their team play. There's only gonna be a select few diehards that are gonna sit there and watch those teams play. Once your season's over, your season's over, you're not gonna take any, any notice to it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:15

still

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:15

Well, that's the thing.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:16

round 22.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 48:19

That took us a lot longer to get to the spoon this year. It's fine.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:22

Say this kickoff rule that lops. What's the next step? Don't kick the ball off altogether.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 48:29

Alright. I'll just go back to the old rule. If it doesn't

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:32

Well. Well, you can't. Why? Why? Go back to it. Why?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 48:35

it. I think, I think it's gonna be here to stay. I, I think, I think it's just gonna be alright. We're changing this and it's done and it'll come down to the RPL, um, the

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:44

step

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 48:44

association.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:45

when it

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:46

The next step will be,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 48:47

The players need to approve it, and that's what their association's for. It's a union where they can say yes or no to things.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 48:54

the next step for kickoffs will be completely short kickoffs. They'll be exactly like union where you get

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:01

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:01

kickoff each half and everything else will be a drop punt.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:07

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:08

And I'll, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:10

I

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:10

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:11

think they'll do that.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:13

I think they will because they'll, they want to take out concussions. They want them big hits out.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:19

But you're still gonna get the big hit.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:21

they're not. When you go in short, you, how many times do you see a big hit on a short kick off

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:27

Yeah. But you can see a big hit. You can see a big hit from going back 10 meters are they're gonna bring it up five meters so that they're not

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:33

you did. When you kick off, you got 45 meters to build up a head of steam and hit

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:39

Mm.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:39

that's coming off the back fence.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:41

We also got 45 meters to tire yourself out.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:45

the train or the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:46

Yeah, I know they do.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:47

for

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 49:48

the, that's the bigger problem is how big and strong and shit they are.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 49:52

Well that's the thing. A real Spence will lend you out.'cause what's he do every time he gets, they kick, kick the ball off to himself. What's the first thing he does? Fucking run as hard as he can. Adam,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:02

That's what I mean. They're

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:03

you, you, you do, you do this.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:04

want,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:05

Yeah. You do.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:06

But

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:07

Like you do the short dropout,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:08

mean.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:08

they're only gonna get 10

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:09

the defender running down there to, to hit'em like that because they're trying to keep their line. They're not at full place sprinting. It's the person with the ball sprinting back. the, is the main reason for the concussions.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:22

So to take that out of play, it's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:24

Yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:25

short cure because then you, then you're only gonna have all your wingers and high flyers that are gonna be contended for the ball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:32

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:32

Really?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:34

There's been, there's been a

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 50:35

Hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 50:35

of changes in rugby league, and this will be just another one of those major ones. Well, there never used to be a set of six tackles. Now there's seven tackles like, you know, there's six. Again, it's just one of those things that seems like a small thing a big change that, you know, can change the game dramatically either, either way. And I dunno which way it's gonna go because I dunno how the teams are gonna implement it. It's gonna be a risk reward and it'll be whatever the, whatever's gonna be the the best result for'em. So they got, the anti tampering will come in on February where player managers and that can't approach players until November one. I thought that's what the rule was anyway. But apparently they're changing it to down on it, which, you know, happens anyway, hasn't helped the bears, but they still haven't had that many signings. Um. Yeah, I don't think that's much. But the 6 million bench I'm interested in, you can only use four. And that's a tactical thing as well, that you can have a half or the outside backs on the bench. But it does mean that players are gonna miss games that. cause they're gonna have to follow the NRL team around and won't be able to play reserve grade.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 51:53

Like I said, it should have been to do that. It should have been a pick from your reserve grade team.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:01

Yeah. But like you said, when we're discussing that though, they don't play on the same.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:05

there's gonna be weeks where they can't do that, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:08

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:09

yeah, if

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:10

I, I agree with that. And I stand by what I said, have six on the bench, but you only activate those other two players during a concussion.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:19

so the only games that are gonna be impeded are those Saturday games. Every other time. If you play Thursday or Friday night, you've got, and you don't get used. You've got enough time, you are still fresh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:33

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:34

got enough time to get home and play on the weekend.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:36

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:37

If you play, if the NRL plays on a Sunday and you, you are just used as a backup, yeah. You are likely that you're not gonna get used if you are back

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:48

Yeah. They'll, they'll find ways, they'll find ways to implement it so that, you know. Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:55

got

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:55

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 52:56

sitting on that bench not playing football.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 52:59

Or they've got, they've got people that sit at 18th me in for the entire season and don't play games. They don't go play reserve grade and stuff. I know that that happens.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 53:07

so, most of the time they do play reserve grade throughout the year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 53:13

Uh, not always. Sometimes that player is always there as the 18th man just constantly to keep'em around the squad. Um, I do like the, I'm actually a big fan of if you drop the ball over the line score and a try, it's only six tackles and not seven.'cause I've got a real hatred for the seven tackles set it's kicked dead.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 53:33

nah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 53:34

I don't think it, I don't think it should be a seven tackle set if you diffuse a bomb.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 53:38

that one shouldn't be. But if you, your defense has muscled up and a knock on, you should be rewarded an extra tackle.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 53:49

yeah, yeah. No, that's, uh, nah, I like it. I like the way they've changed it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 53:56

If you've just spent three

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 53:57

I like,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 53:58

defending your line and you've managed to come up with a big play, why shouldn't you be rewarded?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 54:05

yeah. I like, I missed,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 54:06

getting an extra set of six.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 54:08

I missed the, the screw turning on the line where the plate team would go down and apply the pressure and like turn the screws and, you know, keep turning'em around. But the seven tackles set and the, the short kick off, yeah. You can let go of that pressure vehicle way too easier than what you used to. can't pin a team down at their end. There's always a way out.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 54:30

It comes down to your halfback. gotta do better.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 54:35

Yeah, but it's what I mean is it, it's easier to turn the ball. It's too easy to turn the ball over. I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 54:41

Learn.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 54:41

don't like, I don't like the seven tackle thing. Anyway, I, I understand why they implemented it. They only implemented it because Tes were kicking it dead so that Billy Slater wasn't returning it'cause he was too much of a threat. So they implemented that

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 54:53

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 54:54

so that a team can get up the other end and still make an attacking opportunity and,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 54:59

it hasn't, hasn't taken Reese Walsh out being that threat.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 55:03

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 55:03

seven tackles

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 55:05

no, it's not supposed to take Reese Walsh out. It's the teams were kicking the ball over the dead ball line so that he didn't return it. It's the work in it, work in Reese Walsh's favor because he either gets a seven tackle set or he gets the ball and gets to return it. That's what I mean. That's what, that's what it's implemented for. I still think that if it's. You kick it dead. Yeah, give them a seven tackle set. But within that 40 meter line, you should be still able to put a bomb into the corner without the other team catching the ball in the end goal and getting a seven tackle set or putting a gruber in behind the line from five meters out, trying to apply the set, the pressure, and then getting let off because it went dead.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 55:46

matter'cause the nights don't attack the ball.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 55:48

They don't attack at all.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 55:49

don't attack the ball,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 55:51

Oh

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 55:52

did you? You look at all the teams there at the moment, they kick it 10 meters short or just inside the tent, but nobody attacks the ball to try and win the ball back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 56:03

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 56:04

want to just pin that defend.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 56:06

yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 56:08

yeah, might as well just kick it back to'em. Have a turnover.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 56:12

yeah. Um, six. Agains been moved to the 20 and I had a look back over how the rulings worded.'cause you said to me the other day, it's within your own half. I thought it was within the 20, moving towards the trial line and I still can't figure out which way it goes. So I'll have to wait to see a game to see how that's implemented.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 56:37

I was, yeah, the way I read it, I was thinking, yeah, the other

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 56:40

That's what I mean. I, I think it's the wording'cause we've both read it wrong. We've both read it differently. think it's from, in your own half, from the 20 towards the goal line. So there's 60 meters where it's six again, where I think it's only within 20 of the line at six again, which either way it'd make sense to me. But you know, that takes away penalty goals completely. Pretty much except for foul play.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:06

I think you should get the opportunity, like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:10

It. It's a bit hard when they call six again to go, no, no, I want to take a short goal. You can't do that.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:16

Just getting rid of the fucking six again and just put it back as a penalty.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:20

as like, that'd just look shit to watch.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:24

man.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:24

that's what it used to fucking be before this stupid six. That's what it used to be.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:29

that. Without the six again, you'd stop, play, decide on penalty goal, tap or kick to the sideline.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:35

Hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:35

that and

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:36

They're,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:37

for it to go back to that,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:39

they're bringing in too many rules.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 57:40

I think they should use the six again for the offside. I think offside, it's a really good thing. Don't have a shot for a penalty. Go for someone being offside. But all the other ones where they go six again, like rucking, infringements and shit like that, make that a penalty

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 57:57

The thing is, right, they, they've got, they've got six againsts for one thing and six againsts for another thing and all that shit. They never fucking, they're not consistent enough to pick it up every time

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 58:10

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 58:10

all of it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 58:12

Yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 58:13

Get rid of it. Be consistent. Get rid of it because it's a penalty.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 58:17

yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 58:17

as that.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 58:18

yeah. I think they need to simplify what the, like, they need the lesson, what a six again is for instead of adding more to the six again, like they

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 58:25

That's right. Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 58:28

Anyway, all right. In our well NRL predictions for the season, got first raid, first team off the rank's gonna be the Raiders. Obviously the Raiders, minor premiers last season, had a really good year. Probably robbed in the finals. Probably a chance of if they made it to the grand final, have probably winning that grand final. But this season, um, I've got'em finish in between second and eighth. Because they're a young team, they've still got strange, you know, they've got a strong forward pack. Ricky Stewart's job's secure, so their job's fine. But the, the thing that I'm worrying about, it's like are a young team. They're gonna have ups and downs and they've gotta a new seven that they've gotta try and implement into the team, and more than likely it's gonna be a young seven that's, know, still learning So, so I am worried about the half back and whether or not they can keep that momentum out up because Canberra traveling up, up to last year, really, they, they have a real problem with traveling. But, um, I, I worry that the raid, I think the Raiders are gonna drop a bit from last season. I've got the Raiders in eighth just making it,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 59:52

I've got'em in my bottom eight to not making the eight

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 59:56

which. I had'em as wooden spooners last year, to be honest.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:02

Yeah, I've got, I've got'em. Yeah. Either just making the eight or just being outside Really.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:00:07

Yeah, yeah. No, that's where I see him. I see him in eighth.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:11

look, it wouldn't, it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if they make the eight, but it also would surprise me if they just drop out.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:00:18

Yeah. What about you, Zach? What's your thoughts on the Raiders for this season?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:24

Nine.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:00:25

Ninth.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:27

Yeah. But yeah, they get quite easy. LA last year, strange and Fogarty clicked and they played some good footy behind that Ford Pack. Strange. Yeah, he's still there. But you, you losing Fogarty, it's you are

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:47

That's a big, that's a loss.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:49

You are losing that game. Managing and

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:52

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:00:52

yeah, I think that'll hurt'em this season. And I think a lot of close games that they won last year, they won't win next year or this season.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:01:04

They got, they'll miss Fogy, I reckon.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:01:07

So. And it comes down injuries too. Like yeah. You look at that, semi-final where they did get beat Ethan Strange plays that they probably win, right? He's, yeah, he's got that effect on that team, so, so, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:01:31

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:01:31

we'll see.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:01:33

Yeah. The thing is they do have a very, very strong forward pack. Like I don't think their defense is gonna be a problem. They can hide a halfback, they've still got a, a fairly experienced young team. It's just need someone that's gonna direct'em around and I, why I've got'em two to eight. They could finish at the top again. I don't think they get the minor premiership again, but they could finish anywhere in that, in that eight, from two to eight spot. could only fit'em in the eight. Hey.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:07

is gonna hurt'em.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:08

Yeah. De depths is gonna be a,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:10

Uh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:10

of a problem with that.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:12

there, you borough? Yeah. You've got any, any of those big Fords? Pap, they get injured and spend any extended time on the bench. It's gonna hurt that forward pack

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:27

Well, I think, I think

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:28

I, I,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:28

come off the bench all season.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:31

I reckon it's gonna be, if they lose any of their back line, it's gonna hurt'em

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:35

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:36

really like yeah, their forward, their forward pack is muscly and they can get the meters and all that, but their back line, their fucking lightning fast.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:47

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:48

They are, they do open that game up for the Raiders a fair bit and you, you get a few, you get a few injuries again in that back line there. I reckon it's gonna hurt'em

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:58

yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:02:58

really

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:02:59

what was your final position for the Raiders? It's, Zach's got

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:02

well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:02

I've got eighth.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:03

Look, I, I haven't got'em in my top eight,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:07

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:08

but it won't surprise like, I've got'em, I've got'em anywhere between eight and 12. Really?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:16

So where are you gonna put'em?

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:18

Dunno. Because see, my whole, my whole, the one, the ladder that I've predicted, I haven't locked any teams in.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:25

Yeah, no, I know that. All right, so we'll finish the series. We'll get, we'll get Hoovers locked in later.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:33

See, you can't. The thing is, you can't really tell until round.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:39

At the end of the day, like, like I said to you earlier, with these rule changes and everything, they could flip the whole ladder

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:03:45

exactly, that's exactly right. Like it could,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:03:47

Last season was actually a very close season for all teams. Anyone there, there was a number of teams that could have pushed into that top eight, and this season's gonna be the same. It's gonna be a close, it's gonna be a close competition. It's not gonna be blown out stupidly. It's not gonna be that there's only three or four teams. There's, there's at least nine teams that could win the premiership. Like they could all finish first and go through and win it.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:14

yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:14

Only nine

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:16

Oh.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:04:18

I'd, I'd probably, I'd probably pull the pin at nine for genuine Premiership contenders, those teams below nine, probably another five or six of them that could have a run.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:30

after round seven this year. Cowboys were looking like they could go and finish at the top and look

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:04:37

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:38

finished.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:04:39

yeah,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:04:39

I've only got six. I've only, I've really only got six teams that I reckon could go, go through.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:04:46

yeah, no, I, I, I understand. I, I reckon there's about nine of them that can, but I actually had trouble with doing me eight and I knocked a few down, like, and I forgot to put the Raiders in there at one stage and I had to move them all down,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:05:01

Yeah. Well that's the thing. I forgot it all about the Raiders, but yeah, I, yeah, I don't, yeah, I've got'em sitting down. Me top eight.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:05:09

yeah. But I sort of worked backwards from the way that I did it and the Raiders were the first one that I did, hence why we're

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:05:15

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:05:16

first. But

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:05:17

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:05:18

I've, I've got him in eighth position. Um, like I said, I'll link all these things together for the week before the NRL and start, we'll have our final letter put stuff up on the group page Facebook page

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:05:30

Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:05:31

final letters actually are. So, yeah. Alright. We'll move on to the Panthers slow start last season that affected'em, but at the end of the day they still made it there. In what? Fifth? They didn't get their week off, which probably hurt'em. They tried to do it before the finals. They still showed a lot of form and their team has not changed that dramatically and they've had a longer time in rest. I've got'em finishing one to six. There's still a Premiership threat. They've still got Cleary. If he stays fit, you know the fatigue's gone. I don't think they've got that fatigue. They've had a little bit longer off. Yeah, a few players have played, you know, in the Four Nations and for Australia and stuff, get their extended break. But majority of those players are gonna have a, a full preseason and you know, I think they have a better season this year. I think they'll come back with a point to prove. So I've got the Panthers finish in second and I'm gonna stick with that. I did sort of change my mind before and probably could have had'em at first, but I'm gonna have in second cause that's where

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:06:42

Four.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:06:42

them

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:06:44

I've gone top four.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:06:46

top four. Zach, what's your thoughts on the Panthers

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:06:50

I got'em finished in fifth again. Mm. Yeah, I that, yeah, I just, I don't think the top four changes too much. I do have the Raiders dropping out, but yeah, the, the team, I've got to replace them. A bit of a smokey, I think the, um, yeah, Penrith, they're good enough that they can finish top four quite easily. But

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:07:18

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:07:19

got'em finished in fifth.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:07:21

Yep. And when, when you think about it, you know, they only got knocked out because of that two point feel goal blunder thing that, you know, decision that they made where they tried to go back 30 meters to kick a two point feel goal and they pro probably should have just got on with it, or, you know. They had the momentum and they went against it, and it was just a, it was a very strange play. Otherwise, they're making another grand final anyway. So I don't think, don't think they lost much from their, their thing. I think they made a stupid decision in the finals or the whole thing would've worked for'em. And I don't weakening any of this year. anything, it'll probably make'em a little bit stronger and, you know, sometimes you need that loss to pull you back into gear. And that's what's that, that's gonna be, they're gonna come back firing. And I'd be, I'd be wary about Penrith Penrith this year, to be honest. So I've got, I've got the Panthers finish in second, but yeah, all right, so the third team and last team for this week. I've got the storm, I have the storm in first. Craig Bellamy's last year, the Melbourne Storm. They've been to the last two grand finals. They haven't changed too much. They're only gonna get stronger what they do every year. They're gonna be up for Bellamy. just thinking before when I, I was going through the thing and the reason why I would probably put Penrith in front of them, maybe they have a lot of injuries to Jerome Hughes and Kim Munster throughout a season. They had peasant there to fall back on last year. They don't have that now. So I'm a bit worried about their depth in the halves more so than anything. But I still think the storm can take the minor premiership and like I said, gonna be a close season. you know, there's a lot of teams that could take that minor premiership spot. It's just getting in the eight and I don't see'em dropping outta the eight. I've got'em from at least wonderful. They're in that top four every season. They don't drop drop away. I think it'd take something really major to, um, to turn that around and they've still got wishard there that can come in and do a job. I'd be just worried if it was both used and months three out at the same time. Just that, that little bit of depth, but they've still got meaning as well. Can fill in the hubs if need be, does a pretty, fairly good job. They've lost Ppen housing, but they've got, for Longo coming in there, that's a really, really good up and coming player. So I think I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:00

I've

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:00

I think that can be filled.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:02

I've got Melbourne as minor premiers.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:05

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:06

Um, it's tricky'cause it's Melbourne. They're just, they're thereabouts every year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:14

they're the most consistent team. They're, and the Panthers are probably most consistent. Consistency's the thing.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:20

to fruition and end up signing which is the big play at the moment,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:27

Yeah, I,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:28

strengthens them.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:30

I hope Parramatta stands strong because if they let him go and play for the storm and say that that didn't, that agreement didn't matter, that's gonna open a whole can of worms throughout the whole NRL, and you'll just have players just willy-nilly jumping between

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:49

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:49

teams.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:50

I,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:10:50

They need to stand strong and at least give you 12 months to think about it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:10:54

was reading this afternoon that it's, um, the same lawyer that represented Hayne and Israel Lau.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:11:04

Yeah,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:11:05

Lomax. Um, yeah, so, but it,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:11:10

I don't think they should, I don't think they should.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:11:13

I think it's gonna come down to the players association's gonna have an input on it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:11:18

Yeah. Well, there'll be that too. That's the whole union side of things, but I, I honestly think the NRL should implement a rule that if you, if you, if you request a release, if you request a release to go to another club, both clubs agree to it and the club releasing gets some sort of benefit from it, player should have to sit out for one to two years.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:11:42

Like I said to you, the other way, if Lomax says that he wants to come back to the NRL, he gives Parramatta first choice. Parramatta has spent that money now

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:11:56

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:11:56

in whoever they're bringing

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:11:58

Well, that'd be, that'd be the only

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:00

Kelly.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:00

around it, that he comes back and says, oh, I'll come back and falls on his sword. And they say, we don't want you back.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:06

and say, no, he should be allowed to go to

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:09

Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:09

club that he wants to

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:11

Well, the thing is, he should be allowed to go to any club. He wants you now, because he doesn't, he, he's not under Parramatta books.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:18

No, but the agreement for him getting released was that he was to play for no other NRL team

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:24

Is that what he

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:25

the

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:25

agreed for?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:26

yeah, until 2028. So that's a two year. That's basically two years where he can't play. Which that's what, that's what I think it should be.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:34

Three

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:34

you should have to sit out 12 months.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:37

Three years,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:38

I think you should have to sit out 12

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:39

Well, well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:40

on the

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:41

well, if he's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:41

play.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:43

well, if he's done that, he shouldn't, he shouldn't be allowed to play for until That's honored. Simple as that. If, if he, if he said he won't play for any other team until the end of his contract with Parramatta,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:54

That's

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:12:55

that's him. That's.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:12:56

release. They weren't gonna release him unless he agreed not to play for any nrl, any other NRL team. Now he is gone. Oh, I wanna corner play for the storm. And they've said no. what I mean. They need to stand by their

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:06

Well, that's right. So he's fuck. He's fuck

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:13:08

out. He has to sit out until that time

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:11

And what you do?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:13:11

any money that that's the whole point of sitting out the 12 months. He doesn't earn any money as well as not playing.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:17

No, no. Well he should, he should miss out'cause he signed the contract saying that he won't play for any other NRL team until his contract's been done with Parramatta. Simple. You don't play for the next three years.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:13:28

And

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:29

wanna, you wanna leave, you're gone for three years.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:13:31

he's not getting anywhere near amount of offers from Super rugby that he was getting in the NRL. He's losing a lot of money

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:39

Hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:13:39

by going to Rugby Union on a hope and dream for a competition that isn't even starting this year now that they, that you still dunno what's gonna happen. you know that it's just one of those decisions that you make in life where you see an opportunity for something and you took it a little bit too early, to be

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:13:59

Well, that's like they keep saying about paying half. I he is only signed a one year extension with Brisbane and all that so he can go to the super, uh, the 360. He, he, he's not going there. He's not going to the 360. You gotta think you've got a new team coming in next year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:14:16

Yeah. Yep.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:14:17

signed a one year deal for this one. Me. England's gonna throw fucking big dollars at him

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:14:23

Yeah, he

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:14:23

more. More.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:14:24

need to go to the 360 for that exact reason. The beers can, the beers can afford to throw$2 million at paying half.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:14:31

Exactly right. He, why if he, if he was so committed to Brisbane, he would've said, yeah, too easy. I'll sign three years. Another three years. He's young enough to do it. Why? Why only sound on saw one year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:14:42

if they get the broadcast deal that they want, salary cap's gonna rise. And most players, they'd be on a percentage of salary anyway, so whatever percentage of the salary cap, so their pay rises as well. That's the way that they'd do it. You go, all right, you take this percentage of a salary cap and then the rest of the money's left for the other players. So they're not set on that amount. You know, for all those big players, all the other players up and coming, they'd have their set amount or you know, they'd also, the minimum that they can pay'em will also rise if the, if it goes up and things like that. You know, it, it'd be a complex thing trying to sit down and work it out. I'm not real good at math and stuff, but they could afford to pay someone like paying half,$2 million as their inaugural big signing then fit players around him.'cause he is gonna give you enough go forward and there's enough, know. Quality players that aren't gonna be asking for that much money, that you could form a team to get you started, and then you start developing those players into better players. You know, he takes up a big chunk of your salary cap to start with, but you've gotta be realistic. The bears aren't gonna be pushing for a grand final for at least four or five years. That's about the timeframe it takes to turn the club around a rebuild. So, yeah. Oh, where you have the storm at Uber Top four. All right. Well, that's our first three predictions we've got. got Storm and First Panthers in second and Raiders in eighth. Zach's got Storm one, five, and the raid is nine. a few, a few little differences other than that Storm One and Hoovers are still yet to be determined, so

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:16:24

look, I, I've got my list.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:16:27

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:16:28

There, but I haven't put'em in any order. Like if you go, if, if you go off the order, I've wrote'em down. I got Storm, I got Storm in second, Panthers in Fourth and Raiders in 12.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:16:39

At, at the end of the day, I'm not ta like, I'm trying to take a serious look at it,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:16:43

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:16:43

is just for a bit of fun, bit of content for the podcast. You know, it's not, not, we're not rugby league journalists or frigging analysts or anything like that. It's just, it's a strong point that we have on the podcast to talk about.'cause we watch all the games and follow it. And

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:16:59

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:16:59

just trying to take a bit of advantage of that for the podcast, so.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:17:03

I still don't even like the team that I've got written down as first on my list. I hope it doesn't happen, but yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:17:11

yeah. No, that's fair enough.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:17:13

I am gonna fucking stab you, Hoover.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:17:16

So I've got, I went through and I've done a forecast for, some games coming out this year. You've got your PS five. Now. We've played some battlefield, you've played a few different games.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:17:29

Yep.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:17:49

or he'll set up his control.'cause we've got two controllers. He'll set it up and then he'll be like, oh, we'll go kill for kill. And then he'll set his controller up and then when it comes to my turn, then he goes, oh, I've disconnected yours. Now you gotta use one. I'm just like, well, you just played it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:04

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:05

But yeah, no, I am liking it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:08

Yeah.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:08

I, I still wanna get into some of the ea sport games.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:13

I

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:13

I haven't done that like.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:14

seen ice hockey. I nearly bought ice hockey the other day, but they took the discount off it, and then the other day I seen that it's, it's half price again. And I'm like,

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:22

You,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:22

oh, but I didn't have the money in the account.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:25

not buy any more games and probably play the ones you've got.

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:27

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:28

No, I've been, I've, I've gone stupid. I'm not gonna,

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:18:32

you went stupid ages.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:18:34

yeah. Or it's all right. I've been, I've been smashing American truck simulator with my steering wheel, which, oh, I might get to that now. So Christmas got the steering wheel added to me. VR green Truo better. It's unbelievable. I'm loving my steering wheel. Absolutely loving it. I'm not gonna lose a finger. I'll be alright. So, but anyway, with the forecast, I need to leave something to talk about games coming up or over the next couple of weeks anyway. But, um, so I've got a list of games that are coming out that pique my interest a little bit. You've got the oh oh seven game. not looking forward to, it's kind of the, made by the same people that may hit me. So it's gonna be very hitman es I'm, I'm looking forward to it. I like the hitman in games. I'd love to see a oh oh seven spin on it. And I've been waiting for a good oh seven game for a long time. Um, you got Ace, ACE Combat eight, like the top gun jet pilot fighter game

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:19:40

you ever been into fucking airplanes?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:19:43

if it comes to vr. I'm very into it. If I could get a joystick with vr, I think I'd be very into it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:19:51

Can't drive a car, let alone fly on a fucking plane.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:19:55

Yeah. can drive a car. I'm doing really well. I've done a freaking load from Vegas to freaking Utah the other day, so. Yeah.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:02

not a car.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:20:03

Yeah. I know.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:04

You

squadcaster-eb5i_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:05

How Wheeler?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:06

your way.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:20:06

I was sitting there playing it the other day before I went to work, before night shift. And Amanda walked in and goes, are you driving a truck? And I went, yeah, I'm, I'm just, yeah, I am. And she goes, the last thing that I'd wanna do before I go to work is pretend to be a receptionist. And I'm like, yeah, probably make a point. But yeah. There's. Crimson Desert. Supposed to be a massive map. It's been coming out for a while. I've been watching it. Sort of looking forward to that. There's a Fable remake that's supposed to be coming out. That'll be on the pc, won't be on the PS five. I'm sort of interested in it'cause a lot of people have told me to play it with the sort of games that I play that I'd really like it. Fours, horizon six set. In Japan. There'd be a lot of. Forza fans that'd be excited for that I think. I don't think haven't played Forza.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:55

I liked Forza and I liked Fable.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:20:58

We

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:20:58

both.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:20:59

have to, um, wait and see whether or not GTA six comes out. I guessing if it comes out and it's everything that's promised, it probably wins games of the year straight up. But I have a feeling that GTA is gonna come out and it's gonna let a lot of people down that have high hopes. And I think I'm gonna be one of those people'cause I've got high hopes for it. Um, there's high on life too, which is like the Gun and Morty game sort of thing that's, I played it, it's actually quite fun for a video game. Resident Evil Requal comes out. There's a Pokemon that's sort of a cross mine CarCraft, uh, I don't know. It's a bit of a Minecraft build and. type thing. Pokemon game, I'd be interested to see that. It's called Pokemon Illa. Uh, there's a halo campaign evolved.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:21:51

real fast.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:21:52

I even wanna say it. Once Halo campaign evolved, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I didn't look into it today with a, I'm pretty sure that's a new Halo game. And then you're getting the, um, other Halo game that's coming to PS five with the crossover thing. You've got the Wolverine game that's coming to PS five. That actually looks really, really good. If GTA six doesn't live up to its hype, I think Wolverine's probably gonna be the game of the year.'cause that does look pretty amazing. Um, F1 26 isn't coming. 20 five's Just gonna get sort of a DLC add-on for the season to correspond with that.'cause next year they're supposed to be bringing out a completely new different game. with a new sort of on it. And yeah. So is there any games that have stood out for you that you guys are looking forward to or Zach?

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:22:51

Uh, yeah, there is a few games, but we'll discuss them in the next episode.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_01-06-2026_203436 1:22:58

so there's a little, there's a little bit coming. They're just things that I went through and found today anyway, so, yeah, see how we go, um, move forward. It's been a bit of a long episode. No trivia this week. He aren't doing it.

squadcaster-0hfd_1_01-06-2026_203435 1:23:13
