Episode 23 - Sporting Sport Opinions at the Cove

This weeks episode was recorded in front of a live crowd at the Coral Cove Bar & Bistro and although the F1 Adonis was missing due to troubles with his pit crew, it did not stop Johnnyjojoshabadoo or the Tinman from bringing you this weeks edition.

It may be the middle of the footy season but cricket started off proceedings. A chance could not be missed to have a dig at the English cricketers who are going a bit slow against the Kiwis. The main talking point is the latest betting scandal to hit cricket and no surprises that it involves Indian cricketers & the IPL. 

The NRL is getting plenty of headlines of late due to poor perfomances by the officials. If this is the standard that we see every week is the Tinman right in saying that it will start affected sponsors and followers of the sport? Why do Channel 9 & Foxtel insist in only showing certain replays? Is there an agenda? We start the Origin talk this week as well.

Rugby and the Reds cannot be missed. The Reds notched up another win last week but for some reason they will still be snubbed by the selectors when the Wallabies are announced. Seems Quade Coooper is no longer rated or wanted by the higher order. Do not be surprised if he leaves the country or the game within 2 years and goes we he is wanted. 

More updates on the ongoing ASADA saga. Again the Tinman explains why you cannot spell FAIL without A, F & L. The AFL certainly has a drug problem.

In wrapping up the nominations are no surprise with commentators from 9 & Fox getting the Marto nod for last weeks coverage of the NRL and the blatant bias they show towards certain teams and themselves. The Bryce was a no-brainer with Ashley Klein giving another headless chook performance, although a game between the u21's from Liverpool and Man United saw a nomination too.  The SSO Fail ws again handed out to the Aussies Sandlflies (our beach volleyball team) & Channel 9 for their delaying of a game due to a commentator running late.

Hope you enjoy this episode and the closing song which comes from Tinman's favourite Aussie band.

Pubcast Episode 22

This weeks edition was recorded at "The Cove" (Coral Cove Bar & Bistro) with the regular panel of The Tinman, Johnnyjojoshabadoo & The F1 Adonis.

Before talking the week in sport a few shout outs were required and the main one was for NITV's Barefoot Sports show. Do yourself a favour and check out this great program that covers the indigenous sports stars of Australia.

The NRL always takes centre stage this time of year and with Josh Dugan signing with the Dragons we start the talk there. A few tactics are talked about to counter NSW in the Origin and Madmartymackay gets some late mail in.

Rugby is always in the headlines and with the Reds running rampant are they the answer for Kurtley Beale? Also talk about the prospect of the proposed Lions vs Anzacs game in the future.

The F1 Adonis updates us on the world of Formula 1 and with racing this weekend in Spain the Adonis is getting excited about the European schedule.

The beach volley debrief is required to update Johnnyjojo on how we faired this week at Beach 365. It wasn't pretty.

Awards always wrap it up but you will need to listen to find out who got he Marto, Bryce & SSO Fail but the following clips might give you an insight for the SSO Fail.



Closing song is a bit of Diesel - Tip of My Tongue. Remember that you can put in your suggestions for closing song and or any sporting topics.

Pubcast Episode 21

This week sees a Sunday session reefcast due to a few technical hitches for our usual Friday night recording. With such a beautiful view it will come across that Sundays are a very relaxed day for us here in Coral Cove.

We start things off with the announcement that the Bundaberg Sports Flood Appeal has wrapped up and it is now time for cheques to be handed out. A total sum of $5000 was raised for Bundaberg Hockey, Bundaberg Cricket, Bundaberg Netball, Bundaberg Rowing & North Bundaberg FC who will all be receiving a cheque for $1000.

NRL is the first sporting segment and we look at a few issues from the week, with focus on the Manly approach to spear tackles on Greg Inglis. In general the NRL judiciary was always in for a poor outlook from us. We are able to change things up and also look at a few games from Friday & Saturday. With the same few teams getting Friday & Sunday games we also take a look at how it can be done and with correspondence from Madmartymacky this is an issue that will certainly get raised throughout the season.

Rugby is in the headlines with the news that Digby Ioane is off to France to play rugby but will more follow him off to Europe for the money? The Reds drew with the Force last night and Johnnyjojoshabadoo certainly has a few thoughts as to what the result should have been. Why do the Reds keep getting ripped by the refs?

Cricket is in our sights again as the naming of the Australian side for the Champions League tournament contained no players from Queensland. Did the Tinman say he actually hopes that Australia get flogged?

The Grey Fox was unavailable this week and with reports he is trying to help with the Waterhouse vs Singleton case, we thought it was best to leave him be. We didn't miss a chance to talk about this scandal tough.

The Awards always wrap it up and there are no real surprises in this weeks Marto, Bryce & SSO Fail nominations.

Wade Graham earnt a SSO Fail Nomination for this effort

In memory of Chrissie Amphlett we finish up with the Divinyls song - Boys in Town.
