In ‘The Warmup’ we introduce Gaby, and our listeners have asked us what football prep we have been doing.

The NBA Show is back after a short break. And to celebrate we are releasing two episodes this week! We also welcome our new panelist Marena Whittle to talk all things NBA.

In 'the Huddle' we dive into the Phoenix Suns. The Suns fell short in the NBA Finals last season against the Milwaukee Bucks. Since that disappointment, the team has regrouped during and produced an outstanding regular season performance securing the number one seed heading into the playoffs. Despite injuries to Devin Booker, Chris Paul continues to wind back the clock and lead this franchise. Can the Suns complete their redemption mission this season? 

In 'the Match' we compare two former star players and current NBA head coaches Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.  Nash had an incredible 18 year career as a two time MVP for the Phoenix Suns. While for Kidd, he was recently named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team and was a 10 time NBA All Star. Both have now entered the coaching world and are chasing titles in Brooklyn and Dallas, which star will guide their franchise to a championship first?
 
And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire' we ask which star player deserved a championship during their career?

The NBA Show is back after a short break! In this episode, we welcome new panelist Marena Whittle on board to talk all things NBA.

In 'The Huddle' we discuss our thoughts on the Milwaukee Bucks. The 2021 NBA Champions have seen a decline in their defensive efficiency on last season, but made a statement in the first round of the post-season.  With no notable injuries and one of the biggest names in the game on their side, can Giannis and his Bucks go back-to-back?

In 'The Match' we compare two players who had an epic rivalry in their day. Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, arguably the GOAT offensive big man and GOAT defensive centre, spark an interesting debate.
 
And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire' we ask who the biggest surprise packet has been this season. 

Thank you for your continued support in building this show and celebrating the NBA!

On this week's show we launch a new segment "the Playbook" allowing the team to  dissect different parts of the game from plays, shape, positions and strategy. This week in "the Playbook" it's the Running Back edition as we talk all things rushing. From the evolution of the position, trends, different types of players, key strategies for coaches as well as highlighting some of the games best players in  the position, we cover it all!

In 'The Match' we pair two of the best modern day coaches in the sport- Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan helped rescue the 49ers franchise and has since reestablished the organisation as one of the best in the league. Injuries have hampered Kyle's team in recent years but he has been applauded for the work that he has done with limited quarterbacks including Jimmy G. For Sean McVay, he was seen as an emerging star amongst NFL coaches and most recently delivered Los Angeles a championship with Super Bowl 56. Can Kyle maintain his regular season dominance over Sean?

And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire' we continue the San Francisco  discussion and review opportunities to improve their roster. The 49ers took a significant risk in trading up for Trey Lance, the question will be how do they best build a team around him with limited draft capital over the coming years?

On this weeks edition of ‘All Ball’ we reflect on the incredible career of Brisbane Broncos legend Darren Lockyer. We discuss his early years at the Broncos, key highlights from his career in Brisbane as well as his remarkable representative career for QLD and Australia. Locky was an incredible leader, captain and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the world cementing a legendary career captaining QLD and his nation.

In ‘the Match’ we pair up two memorable names from the Sydney Roosters -  Braith Anasta and Mitchell Pearce. Anasta had an impressive career starting at out Canterbury before playing some of his best football in Bondi. And for Pearce he achieved so much in the game at such a young age and showed incredible resilience to fight his way to club and representative success. Who would you select as your preferred playmaker?

And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire', we continue our Legend Series and select our favourite retired player from each club. This week we take a look back on some of the best players from the St. George Illawarra Dragons.

This weeks in 'the Huddle’ we highlight the Sydney Roosters after claiming the premiership in season 4 of the NRLW competition. The team reflect on the Roosters campaign, their early season struggles as well as their remarkable improvement throughout the tournament.

The Roosters star outside backs warmed into the competition with captain Baxter and star centres Kelly and Sergis finding form during their playoff run. But it was their forward pack that stole the show this season with some incredible performances across the board. Who was your Roosters MVP this season?

On this week's show in "the Huddle" we talk all things Chicago Bears. Alex led the charge as the panel worked through the Bears rebuild and what it means for the Bears this season. For QB Justin Fields, he will be looking for improved protection from his offensive line as he looks to improve in his sophomore season. We also discuss the war chest of draft capital and salary cap space that the Bears are gathering as they look to make significant moves in the future. 

In 'The Match' we pair two of the all time greatest coaches in the sport- Mike Tomlin and Andy Reid. Tomlin remains one of the most impressive motivators in world sport and will now need to lead his franchise into the next era of football after the retirement of Big Ben as well as the devastating news of the passing of Dwayne Haskins. For Andy Reid, many fans were handing the Chiefs multiple Super Bowls but with the emergence of Buffalo and the loss of Tyreek Hill, can Andy Reid claim another title this season?

And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire' we continue the Kansas City discussion and review opportunities to improve their roster. Offensive or defensive side of the ball, KC will certainly need to make some moves in the draft and beyond before week one.
