You're late and your reason for being late is being fact-checked by Twitter as we speak.

This edition of Splinters is going to cut close to the bone, as we talk all things Media. COVID-19 has claimed a pretty significant victim, in the form of your local print media. But, as with all things, as one door closes, another one opens.

Tonight, the Raging Bull investigates the shifting of the Paradigm of Local Sports Reporting from the old days of Print Media to the New Age of Digital Media. We will be joined by Former Manly Daily Sports Editor Andrew Prentice and the Owner of our good friends at Today's Tale, Paul Ryan.

This is an intriguing episode that will dive deep into the going-ons for Sports Media. So make sure you tune in to Splinters and make sure you visit Today's Tale for all your local sporting news.

Jake Aquilina talks to Reuben Garrick from the manly sea eagles talking about the return of rugby league to your the screens, as well as some interesting stories from on and off the field!

In the last of the first series of special COVID-19 episodes, Tony "The Sultan" Dosen speaks with Asquith Magpies rugby league coach Pat Weisner and NSFA/Northern Tigers football CEO Ed Ferguson to find out how the highest profile Sporting Club (Asquith Magpies) and the largest participation sport (Football/Soccer through the NSFA/Tigers) are continuing to deal with the Coronavirus emergency as things continue to change rapidly.  The update also looks with a hopeful eye to a future back on the field some time soon - hopefully in the second half of 2020!  

Sport prides itself on its inclusiveness but is that totally true, when not even the biggest women's team on the planet can't get equal pay? The Italian Stallion Dom Rizzuto sits down with Georgia Lomis-Futeran whatever her surname is to discuss the legal battle between the US Women's Soccer team and USA Soccer and what the recent court decision means for not just for the USWST but women's sport as a whole.

Tony "The Sultan" Dosen continues his series of interviews from "The Bench" Friday Night Sports Program to see how the COVID-19 emergency has effected grass roots sport.  First he speaks with (amongst her many other sporting ties) member of "The Bench" presenter and Gymnastics NSW Administrator Alex Bellamy to find out how the one of the world's most original sports has been effected so savagely at the basic local club - and small business - level.  The Sultan then catches up with Northern District Cricket Rangers First Grade Captain Ben Davis to see how the back end of the recent cricket summer was KO'd by COVID-19.  Both Alex and Ben discuss what lies ahead in the short to medium/long term future for both sports in a grass roots disucssion not to be missed.

The Wise Man is back taking the final spell with the Raging Bull for part 3 of your Splinters 2019/20 cricket reviews! This week is the NSW Men's Premier Cricket competition, and the boys are joined by Daniel Anderson from the Northern District Cricket Club, and Hayden Brown from the Mosman Cricket Club, to go through the season that was.  All grades and under age competitions will be touched on, with banter aplenty, with no team mate off limits! The perfect iso-presentation night for everyone.

The  second instalment of our trilogy of 2019/20 Cricket Reviews sees the Wise Man and the Raging Bull pair up again (no ducks involved) to tackle the NSW Shires Competition. Brent Tansley from Roseville Cricket Club and Greg Cook from Lindfield Cricket Club join the boys to discuss the 2019/20 season, with Bull showing his Warringah Cricket Club bias, and the Wise Man throwing in a Effingham Cricket Club reference or 2, this episode is a must listen to get you through the iso-off season!

The Raging Bull takes charge as we return to regular podcasting to bring you the final wrap on the 2019-20 NSW Women's Premier Cricket season.

It wouldn't be a Splinters women's cricket podcast without Zoe Benjamin back on board, and Georgia Lomis-Futeran alongside to dissect all the goings on around the women's game.

There's even a special Splinters debut, so make sure you acquaint yourself with a very young Splinters guest by streaming or downloading the women's cricket wrap edition!

In this special edition of Splinters, we replay interviews from Tony " The Sultan" Dosen on HHH-FM over the last week with NSW Rugby League Boss Dave Trodden and Newtown Jets Director Alby Talarico to get the full picture on the historic cancellation of the NSW Canterbury Cup in 2020 forced by the COVID-19 crisis - the first time in it's 112 year history that the oldest Rugby League body in Australia will not award a flagship title at the end of the season. 

We also get both men to peer into the crystal ball and look at what the future holds - first for the rest of 2020's hopes of a return of the Ron Massey Cup, Sydney Shield and NSW Women's Competitions; and then beyond reaching 'the other side' of the COVID-19 emergency. greatest crisis of these times.

A mix of hope, pragmatism, and optimism abounds for all grass roots league fans during the greatest crisis of these times - and that comes out big time in this Special Splinters Episode.
