It's the biggest non-Olympic sporting event on the planet, so how could we not dedicate another episode of Splinters to this year's FIFA World Cup?

Especially given the major domestic competitions around the world are on hold now, but don't get us started on that little change!

The Splinters team is back to run the rule over the next group of teams, and Italy still doesn't feature (No, it doesn't stop stinging for the Bull...), but that's no reason for you not to tune in for their thoughts on the next month of football in Qatar.

So there's a cricket world cup on, and four different rugby league world cups on, and a women's rugby union world cup on... have we forgotten any?

Settle down, we know, we know. The men's football world cup is almost upon us. How could we forget given the Serie A will shut down with all the Italian players.... getting... a month.... off.... huh. Go figure.

Anyway, the Raging Bull will put that disappointment aside, as will the spicy chorizo, to look in depth at the first half of the draw for this year's feast of football from the nation of Qatar, which Australia's team has had nothing to say about, and that's the story we're sticking to!
So if you are ready for the most unique of all football world cups to date, this is the episode of Splinters for you!

It's been quite a week for the team at Triple H Sports, and it's been quite a week for two of our team members in particular.
If you haven't been informed what our big news from the weekend was, well, let's just say it has to do with Women's Premier Cricket, so what better way to mark our award with a highlights package, featuring the Pocket Rocket and the Queen of Turramurra?
Did her majesty lose her mind at calling her own team?
We won't spoil the fun, just tune in and find out for yourself on Splinters.

It's World Cup season, and there's a few names, both coaches and players you might notice from the NSWRL competitions.

Well, while they're top of mind, what better time to look back on a huge season?
In a season which seemed to be all Penrith all the time (Eds note: Except for the Harold Matts. You're welcome. Signed, Lord Mayor Emeritus), there were plenty of other highlights to cover off, so pop the boots on and fire up for the NSWRL year in review on Splinters.
