The S Files: Episode 53

Normally the Tinman wears a shirt from a team he supports but it is hard to go past what Shop 85 provides

It is the Tinman & Shabs with episode 53 of the S-Files, recorded live at the Coral Cove Bar Bar. The Shabs came strolling in from the heat outside & the Tinman was still recovering from the intensive Indoor Rebound Beach Volleyball finals at Beach 365.

All being said we still managed to get things underway, even if the Tinman's shoulder was that sore he refused to drive into town to record this at a new venue. Normally we start with the cricket but the Shabs was still fired up after the Reds lost to the Waratards in another example of how a certain Sydney team is looked after. Trust us, they will struggle once they go offshore. The ARU can only help them so much.

 All things in cricket are looking good after Australia dominated the first day of the 3rd test. Warner play a great innings & Clarke had the Tinman reminiscing about the 1995 Test at Sabina Park where Steve Waugh stood up to the Windies and although bruised & battered took away the aura the held. Clarke has shown he has the grit to be a great Australian Leader.

 We are proud to advertise Shop 85 before our mid-cast song. This is the shop where the Tinman gets many of his great shirts. The mid-cast song is a reference to the great days of West Indian cricket with a song by the Models - Barbados

After the break we get into the world game & it is rather surprising that more time was not spent talking about how the Brisbane Roar re-asserted their spot at the top of the table with a commanding win over the Perth un-Glory. Even more surprising is how the Tinman refrained from spending too long about how Liverpool defeated Southhampton 3-0 and have gone to 2nd on the table. He could miss saying how stoked he was about Stoke beating Arsenal though.

 The NRL season starts next weekend & is sure to dominate a lot of time on the pubcast. Plenty of controversy seems to be the norm now for the NRL and this year is no exception. We throw in our tips for round 1 too.

 The awards wrap things up before a moment you have to listen too. Only the Tinman could find a way to dedicate Onion Skin by Boom Crash Opera to Michael Clarke.
