Sportscafe

Cathy joins the Sportscafe chaos and cricket legends Merv Hughes and the late great Dean Jones in the madness.

Glenn Maxwell joins Sportscafe from Melbourne - and when the boys bring up the finger-clicking scandal that's engulfed English club cricket this week, Maxwell starts doing some maths on his own career. He's got a theory about a few dismissals in his grade cricket days...

Also this week: Calum from the Talbot Bay Birdwatching Club explains how four blokes with binoculars racked up 20 million views, we look at NZ vs. AU at the Commonwealth Games and debate the per capita table, as well as Rohan Browning's amazing comeback story.

Plus: Chris Lynn on the Broncos' brutal fortnight, Connor Watson on the boot auction, and Ric discovers a new use for the per capita medal table

Victor Radley is a changed man but still manages to lead the show astray.

Victor the Inflictor joins Joey, Connor and Taylor in studio and holds nothing back: his first game co-captaining the Roosters, what it was like on the inside of THAT Origin series with Laurie Daley, the moment with Teddy he says he'll remember for the rest of his life, and why one of the NRL's most feared forwards is on the tools running a demolition business mid-season.

Also on the show - Tayla shares her emotional weekend as Marcelo Montoya calls time on his career, Chris Lynn checks in from Sri Lanka, we meet the park footy legend behind a viral AFL kick, Toolbox Talk takes on the great stadium beer injustice, and grandma on a moped might be the first ever perfect score in Sport of Social history.

A shark attacked him waist-deep off the New Zealand coast - so he fought it off with his fishing rod.
In this classic extract from the Sportscafe TV show, Marc Ellis and the panel sit down with the fisherman who became the bait, and the story only gets better from there: what the doctors found, why he refused to stay in hospital, and the government's official advice for what to do when a shark has hold of you.

Featuring Marc Ellis, Lana Coc-Kroft, Graham, and Eva the Bulgarian.

Australia has set itself a massive target at the Commonwealth Games - but is it actually realistic? We put it to a man who's stood on top of the podium in the green and gold: swimming legend Michael Klim.

Michael joins the boys to talk Glasgow, the swimmers to watch, Cam McEvoy flipping training on its head, the truth about life in the athletes' village, and the story behind the most iconic celebration in Australian Olympic history.

He also opens up about the health battle that changed his life and the work he's now doing through the Klim Foundation.

Plus: Ryan Fox wins The Open (and NZ TV loses its mind), DeChambeau's penalty drama, a massive week in the NRL, Joey's road trip to Canberra for Tom Starling's 150th, and the return of viral back-fence hero Tristan Lumley.

Only on Sportscafe could this happen. Marc Ellis comes face to face with Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson - and handles it exactly as you'd expect. She even left the crew a signed note: "Love & kisses to the Sportscafe crew. Big hugs, Elle."

Nicho Hynes had a record-breaking night against the Dolphins - and he was the last person to find out. He tells the crew exactly how he learned what he'd done, and about the one decision minutes earlier that nearly meant it never happened.

The Central Coast connection runs deep this week, with Nicho opening up on the club that told him "see you later," the dark period that nearly ended his career before it started, and why he wanted to prove the Storm doubters wrong after his Dally M season.

Plus: we review Joey's State of Origin "work trip" footage, Toolbox Talk takes aim at the NRL bunker, McGregor's $30 million minute, and a Sport of Social contender for clip of the year.

Sportscafe the ShowJoey reckons he's fixed State of Origin with one rule change - and the crew can't decide if it's genius or the dumbest thing he's ever said.

Plus: Broncos legend Jharal Yow Yeh joins us in the studio and does NOT hold back on the eight-game losing streak - or the Dolphins.

The Socceroos bow out on penalties, Joey sets foot in a gym for the first time in a decade (footage included, unfortunately), and Sophie Cunningham has converted us into WNBA fans.

It all comes down to this. One game apiece, one night at Suncorp, and 80 minutes to decide the 2026 Origin series. Connor Watson, Chris Lynn, Tayla Montoya and Joey preview the decider from both sides of the border - Kalyn Ponga's shot at redemption after his Game 1 send-off, the Blues' bold selection gamble, Queensland's chance to finish the job at home, and who actually holds their nerve when it matters.
