Podcast Episode 38

The Tinman & Shabdoo bring you another episode from the mancave that is the Tinman's poolroom. There is a change in sporting seasons under way and lots going on.

We start with an NRL wrap up and give the Grand Final about as much attention as it deserved. SBW is always in the headlines but he is no favourite on this show. The Rugby League World Cup is close so there will still be a bit of league coverage in the next few weeks.

The Rugby season is coming to a close but are the Wallabies on the right track for the future?

Cricket Season is well under way but is the Ryobi Cup working? Should Sydney be hosting all the games with no spectators turning out?  Queensland got off to a flyer & the womens side, Qld Fire are also blitzing their opposition.  We promise a lengthy coverage of cricket over the summer.

The midsong break is dedicated to Sonny (Money) Bill Williams. A little ACDC is always good.

After the break we cover the glorious round ball game but it was not that great for the Socceroos who were belted 6-0 again, this time by France. With Holger finally being sacked we take a closer look at the situation.  The A-League is also under way and with ADP starring in the first game it is going to be a cracker of a season to cover.

The awards always wrap things up but we finish with a special mention to Flynn, who had his first foray into Milo In2Cricket. We are always proud supporters of grassroots sport & his story was an example of why we love it.

The closing song was a suggestion by FFDU and we were happy to give a message to all the Socceroos supporters out there.

Podcast Episode 37

It's Rugby League Grand Final Weekend and the Tinman & Shabadoo changed things up and recorded a Sunday morning episode. With a night final we stayed off the drink and bring to you a sober episode.

Before getting into the NRL we give a quick plug to one of our great supporters, Beach 365, where a recovery session is held on the first Sunday every month. Check out their site for more details - Beach 365.

It is the Grand Final that has the team which Channel 9 & the NRL invested all their money into, in hopes they would win. Manly were just there to make up the numbers and our prediction may have been for a Manly win but we hold by our statements that the coverage and officials will be very much bias towards the Roosters. Just how many other predictions did we get right.

The mid podcast song is a little gem from the Ramones that really sums up our thoughts on who wins the Grand Final.

The Wallabies had a win and with the recording taking place not long after the game finished our thoughts will be rather fresh and reliable. We hope so anyway.  Question is, will Marto ever give a fair commentary to the country he is actually from. We are tired of his constant bagging of Australia & only ever showing support once it is known they will win. He is one commentator that really needs to look at himself and decide if he is really up for the job.

The cricket season is warming up, the Champions League is almost over, The Ryobi Cup has started and Australia is about to take on India in a 7 game series.Australia have a good chance to get the number 1 ranking and may just have the squad to do it.

The Awards wrap up the session and we leave you with another dedication to so many people like Greg (Marto) Martin. A little ditty by Ugly Kid Joe.
