  • Canterbury Tattoo over Chiefs Mana? | The Group Chat #111

    Canterbury have done it again, they won their 15th NPC title in Christchurch, and now the players are trying to get the former Bay of Plenty and current Chiefs Assistant Coach to get a Canterbury tattoo.

    Unfortunately, the return of the heavyweights to both boxing and the UFC was a major disappointment. Phil wasted a Sunday morning watching some walkouts and an eye poke.

    How good is the EPL though!? The lads go through their winners and losers of Week 9.

    And finally, a mixed bag in this week's Like it or Love it, as well as our Odds On recap.

    All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

  • Odds On | NPC Final & Heavyweight Blind Rankings | The Group Chat #110

    We've made it to the pointy end of the NPC season with Canterbury hosting Otago for all the marbles. Where do the boys sit in terms of the winner, try scorers and the rest?

    We'll give you a secret, they know they're ABCs.

    The EPL and A-League roll on for another round, with the Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC both playing at home.

    And in the UK, the lads look at Arsenal vs Crystal Palace and Man United vs Brighton.

    They then get into their betting with their 50/22's and 40/20's as well as their locks and laughs for the weekend.

    All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

  • Anyone but Canterbury... | The Group Chat #109
    After a huge weekend of sport and racing The Group Chat gets stuck into it all.

    The Everest was unreal, Ellerslie put on a show and The Pacific Championship started with a bang.

    The A-League kicked off and both NZ teams managed a point each. Who's game was more impressive though?

    Onto the Premier League, does Arne Slot need to go? Probably not but boy he has some tough decisions to make.

    How about Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers?!

    All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

  • Odds On | The Greatest Day On The Punt | The Group Chat #108
    We've made it to the greatest day on the punt.

    With 5 Group 1's, the Livamol, Caulfield Cup, and The Everest taking centre stage, there is plenty to sink your teeth into.

    Ka Ying Rising is the hot favourite to take out The Everest, but the lads are liking the other Kiwi horse trained by the Hayes brothers.

    The EPL returns, as does the A-League, for the new season.

    The lads pick their winners for the NPC semi-finals, and we all agree that we want Canterbury to lose.

  • Bathurst 1000 Crashes | The Group Chat #107
    On a rare low weekend of sport, the lads get stuck into a drama-filled Bathurst that saw Kiwi Matt Payne stand on top of the podium. 

    With the rain pouring down at Mount Panorama, the last 30 laps turned into something not just the petrol heads of the world could enjoy.

    The NPC produced four quality quarter-finals, and we're all in agreement that we hope Canterbury loses in the semi-final.

    The Pacific Championship squads were announced, and the Kiwis and Samoa are shaping up very nicely ahead of their game on Sunday.

    Who's the best striker in the world? Mbappe, Kane or Haaland?

    Brian Branch causes a commotion after the Chiefs hoodoo voodoo magic is back in action at Arrowhead.

  • Odds On | NPC Quarter-Finals Pick'em | The Group Chat #106
    We're running a little low on sport this weekend, but the lads are sticking local and getting right into the NPC quarter-finals.

    Who will cause an upset? Who will get through to the semis and Charlie has a bold call for the Canterbury game!

    Nothing beats international friendlies... actually a lot does but that's all we have to work with for the football this week.

    And finally we do have the return of The People's Champ into the Octagon. Charles Oliveria will step back into the cage on Sunday.

    All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

  • Reece Lightning Master Class | The Group Chat #105
    The NRL Grand Final was an absolute doozy, and have you ever seen a better performance on the NRL's biggest stage than Reece Walsh on Sunday night?!

    The Broncos won for the first time in 19 years and the punters had a bit of a fill up too with plenty of try scorers crossing over.

    South Africa locked up The Rugby Championship, beating Los Pumas at Twickenham and New Zealand swept Australia. The lads do their final 3, 2, 1's of the comp.

    UFC 320 lived up to expectations! What's next in the light-heavyweight and heavyweight divisions?

    Taylor Swift's new album? Bust!

    The NRL Grand Final is this Sunday, so Charlie and Phil get stuck into how they're punting the big game.

    Try scorers, Cliver Churchill winner, and of course, their pick to win it.

    It's also the final weekend of The Rugby Championship, and they're both siding with their respective nations.

    Sunday is a packed day because, before the Grand Final, we have UFC 320 to indulge in.

  • Ulberg Title Shot Next!? | The Group Chat #103
    This week on the Group Chat, Charlie and Phil get stuck into UFC Perth, The Rugby Championship and the NRL Preliminary Finals.

    Both guys like the Broncos to win it this weekend.

    Fast forward to Sunday, where Kiwis dominated UFC Perth, Navajo Stirling winning by decision and Carlos Ulberg winning by way of knockout in the first round!

    Who were the winners and losers from the Premier League after Matchweek 5?

    And how satisfying was it for Rory McIlroy to tell the crowd to "Shut the f*** up"
