Time to take a look at round three of the NRL, where we examine the latest round of matches and discuss how some teams seem to have enough luck to continue on their winning way, and others are just plain terrible and have a long way to go. This week's Talking Point focuses on the injury toll that continues to increase across the competition, and whether it is time to discuss making adjustments to the interchange bench to cover for the increase in injuries and HIA.

Another start for a podcast within a podcast, this one looking back at the week in the AFL, talking about the games, some of the weekend's talking points, and looking forward to next weekend. I know there are hundreds of programs with more enlightened people than me involved, but why not give it a go and see what it's like?

We're back! And the seasons have changed! So it's time for a new podcast within a podcast, In League With the NRL (pretty catchy, eh?). We take a look at the first two rounds of the NRL and see how the teams have fared, and then check out this week's Talking Points, with goalkicking and points tallies in the focus. Come in and see if it is worth it!

I think it would be an obvious thing to say that the way Australia's summer is currently organised is just not working, and it doesn't give Australia its best chance of winning international cricket matches. So today I throw my hat into the ring and discuss the way I would change things up, and look to give cricketers their best chance at domestic and international level to showcase their talents and give the cricket spectator value for their money.

In many ways it is hard to believe that it is 40 years since Trevor Chappell bowled the underarm to Brian McKechnie at the MCG, resulting in one of the most recalled and perhaps reviled incidents in the history of cricket, certainly between Australia and New Zealand. So I look back with my own memories of that day, and what an eleven year old cricket nut thought about as he watched it all unfold.

In continuing to find ways to not only shoot themselves in the foot but actively deflect blame from themselves for doing it, the Collingwood Football Club again finds itself in the news for all the wrong reasons. With my family's long history of support for the Magpies, it has never been more difficult to admit to anyone that I support Collingwood. After today's schemozzle of a leaked report that should have been released weeks ago, I try to find a reason to stick with the faithful.

The T20 Australian squad has been selected for the tour to New Zealand, and with the Test players unavailable it gives a new bunch of heroes a chance to stake their claim on a World Cup spot. But just how much has current form gone into choosing this squad? And if you are in the team that has dominated the recent seasons of the Big Bash League, shouldn't those individuals be getting a fair run at the team? That's a point of contention in today's discussion.

Australia's Test squad for the proposed tour to South Africa has been chosen, and the lack of change or variation in the team raises some questions as to where we may be heading, following a desperate defeat at home to India. Today we discuss the possible ramifications going forward, and whether Australia can survive without more change down the track.

India outplayed, outmuscled and outthought the Australian team to retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy with a virtual 2nd XI squad and a vatful of belief and talent that has not only pleased the entire cricket world outside of Australia, but left plenty of questions to be asked. Today we wander through a maze of distraught reactions to see if any sense can be made from it, before listing what problems lie ahead in Australia's quest to rebuild its damaged legacy.

Today we have a look at the drawn 3rd Test and try to break down where each team had their chances to win, and what it all means for the final Test later this week. It's also time to have a look at the several controversies that raised their heads throughout the Test on and off the field, and just how bad or important any of them were.
