On this episode of The Almanack Report, Brandon Smith has said what many supporters watching games at home have said for years, but he decided to say it to the referee in the middle of a match, while his team had the ball and was attacking their opponents line. Given that the Melbourne Storm in the past have had the referee wearing their number 9 jersey, is this turn of events something that could change the Storm's season, and just how do Sydney Roosters supporters come into this equation?

In other discussions, Nick Kyrgios has heard the two greatest words in sport - "DE-FAULT" - and is in to the Wimbledon Men's Final, but why is it that so many of Australia's twenty-somethings think he is worthy of their support? And six weeks ago the Melbourne Demons were being spoken of as possible undefeated champions in 2022, and we discuss where the AFL competition is just six weeks later.

That's today's discussion on The Almanack Report, on the podcast that is full of cheating bastards, Thoughts from the Metal Cavern.
