State of Disarray: NSW’s Origin Fumble and Greg’s Gourmet Rant
Manage episode 494826070 series 3376604
This week, the Officially Underqualified lads are in full voice, broadcasting from the kitchen as Greg cooks live on the pod, because who says you can’t stir the pot literally and figuratively? From kebabs to curveballs, Matt and Greg serve up a feast of sporting chat that covers everything from golf etiquette to the evolution of the NRLW, with a generous helping of State of Origin spice.
Kicking off with a deep (and meaty) dive into the Open Championship, the boys debate fast play versus slow play on the golf course, the annoying “three-hour warriors,” and why Sanctuary Cove’s four-hour rule is the only pace that matters. There’s even a live kebab cameo that steals the show.
From there, it’s a hard pivot into the NRLW, where Greg shares his surprisingly wholesome appreciation for the women’s game. Turns out, a few thousand fans turning up early to Titans vs Broncos might just be the spark the competition needs. The boys discuss how to grow the game the smart way, by building it into the main event, not keeping it separate.
But then the gloves come off. State of Origin III is done and dusted, and Matt is not taking New South Wales’ series loss lightly. He’s fuming, frustrated, and completely baffled by Laurie Daley’s refusal to adapt mid-game. Greg, of course, is absolutely loving it. "Queenslander"!!!
They break down the stats, the misfires, and the baffling selections. Cleary cops it. Dearden earns the plaudits. And Billy Slater? Coach of the year. Meanwhile, the boys also touch on the newly released Kangaroos side, and whether form or reputation really matters in rep footy.
Oh, and Scott Boland takes a hat-trick for the ages. No big deal. Just another week in Aussie sport.
If you love your footy with a side of golf rage, kebab envy, and honest fan frustration, this one’s for you.
