This week on the Niche Cast we celebrate another win for NZ Breakers before chatting through another Blackcaps loss in Sri Lanka and concerning trends in New Zealand Cricket. Losing organisation stuff weaves into Brisbane Broncos who have a similar record to NZ Warriors in recent years despite NZ Warriors enduring far more pandemic era adversity. There are a few NRL/NRLW Grand Final notes such as Alec MacDonald's gritty mahi, the excellence of James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota as well as Annessa Biddle's incredible performances at centre for Cronulla Sharks. We finish by breaking down the latest All Whites squad and our viewing habits when watching Chris Wood and Steven Adams, along with observations from the first round of National League football.
