The lads are running it back as we get stuck into Matchweek 2 of the Premier League, Round 2 of The Rugby Championship and of course the NPC and NRL.Charlie is backing Manchester United to get the dub...? Yep, this is not a drill! As always, our 50/22 & 40/20 bets go head to head, and we continue on our hot streak with the weekend locks 🔒Finally, we're taking another Super Boost for the Ladder Ch...

After quite possibly one of the worst weekends in South Africa's sporting history, we get to see how Phil is feeling... Add the fact that Manchester United lost at home on the opening weekend to rub a bit of extra salt in the wound. New Zealand beat Argentina, and the Aussies ended a 62-year drought to kick-start The Rugby Championship. The Warriors secured an important two points to stay in the t...

What a weekend of sport we're being treated to this weekend. If you're an NRL sicko, then you'll be well aware of all the finals implications this round has installed for us. The Rugby Championship is back for all the Union lovers out there, and the seemingly non-existent offseason is finally over. The Premier League gets underway with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth. We didn't forget about the UFC...

The NRL is getting to the crunch time, while the Premier League is just about to start! The boys dive into their top 4 predictions with just four rounds left, and whether or not the Wahs scrape in. The La Liga is heading to the State... should the Premier League follow suit? Like it or Love it (or Loathe it)... The Black Caps declare on 601/3???All this and more yarns on the Group Chat.

The NFL Preseason officially kicks off tomorrow, it's tough to punt on, and that's why it's only for the nuffies. So naturally, Charlie has a cheeky multi for the opening games. It's North vs. South in the NRL as we move to round two, and there are some massive games taking place over the weekend as well. The lads have their locks and laughs ready to go, as well as the ladder challenge. It's go bi...

The EPL is less than two weeks away, so Charlie and Phil lock in their top four and teams to be relegated for the upcoming season. A bizarre round of NRL in the books and Phil reckons Jayden Campbell should've had a shot in front of the sticks. We move from the Wahs loss against the Dolphins and look to what was an unreal start to the NPC!Finally, a look at the weekend of punting. All this and mor...

The NPC is back, and the fellas run through their week 1 winners. The Warriors are after a bounce-back win on Friday night, but they do have a good record against the Phins, so they should be hopeful. They're hoping to see some more green ticks this weekend and started off strong with the Eels covering and a Waikato win last night. Their 50/22 & 40/20's, locks and laughs, and the ladder challenge...

We had the best transfers of the summer last week; this time, it's the worst transfers in history. Spoiler alert, Chelsea and United feature heavily in this...Are the Wahs a top 4 team??? They are, but they're not playing like it, and things need to change if they want to be there at the end of the season. Bronson Xerri scored a double after suffering a broken nose, which prompts Charlie into tryi...

The NPC season is right around the corner, and a particular punter is feeling confident about Tasman. We've taken a $10,000 bet on them to win the NPC this year! Charlie is excited about NFL preseason, with odds already up for the first preseason game 😂A great UFC fight night is headlined by Robert Whittaker's return to the Octagon, and both the lads are loving the boost on the Warriors game this...

The new EPL season is nearly upon us, and after what has felt like the shortest off-season ever, Charlie and Phil come up with their five biggest transfers of the summer. They then get into recapping the weekend of action, and boy, wowee did the Warriors get saved by the bell. New Zealand wrapped up the French series with a win in Hamilton while bleeding in six new players. UFC 318 headlined the w...

The Wallabies vs Lions Test Series kicks off this weekend, and Phil has that above the New Zealand vs France Test in his order of excitement this weekend. Topping his chart is UFC 318 and the retirement fight of Dustin 'The Diamond' Poirier, who faces Max Holloway for the BMF belt. At the top of Charlie's list for the weekend, the 153rd Open takes the cake. Royal Portrush will host the Open for th...

On the back of the AUNZ kit that we saw on Saturday night vs the Lions, the lads were inspired to do a 'Worst Sports Kit in History' draft. There are plenty of bad ones, and they barely scratched the surface. They then reveal their 3, 2,1's from the 2nd Test between New Zealand & France and decide who breaks the try scoring record first... Will Jordan or Beauden Barrett? It's Try July in the NRL,...

Does New South Wales even get Origin? Charlie and Phil unpack a disappointing Game 3 from a Blues perspective. But looking back on it, was it ever going to be any other way? The lads preview the weekend with the Wahs facing the Tigers at home, Wimbledon semi-finals and of course, the big one. New Zealand vs France. They then get into their punting with their 50/22 & 40/20's, Locks and Laughs as we...

In this episode of the Group Chat, Phil joins Charlie back in studio to decipher who the biggest sh*t talker in all of sports is. The big talking point of the weekend was New Zealand vs France down in Dunedin. Do the lads think New Zealand deserved the win? Declaring while on the brink of making history, NRL comebacks & Lego trophies for securing your first ever F1 podium all feature in this week'...

Charlie is joined by Jay and Dunc once again to look ahead and preview the weekend's action. But before they can get into it, they have to create a shortlist of the greatest sports ever, and we're not sure if Dunc understood the assignment. However, he did provide a cracking story about the Kentucky Derby and Tijuana. After getting nowhere, Charlie delivers the news of the freshly named ABs team t...

This week on the Group Chat, Jay & Dunc join the fun to talk about all things hosted pots, UFC and the NRL.From Kiwis flying the flag around the world, Jay had to get something off his chest regarding Peter Burling and his new contract with Luna Rossa, while collectively the fellas are stoked with Liam Lawson and f*** Yuki Tsunoda. After firing three blanks now, Jay and Dunc share their thoughts o...

Super Rugby is done and dusted, but not to worry, the boys get to tuck into UFC 317, where our very own Kai Kara-France is fighting for the flyweight title. The Warriors are out for redemption this week as they take on the Broncos, and we get a small taste of International rugby. For this week's punt, Charlie had to dig deep for his 50/22, meanwhile Phil has gone for another pair of try scorers fo...

Super Rugby has come to a close, and the Crusaders reign supreme, winning their 13th full-fledged Super Rugby title. The Chiefs... well, Charlie is wondering if DMac is the man for the job when it comes to the big stage. When it comes to the All Blacks, all the couch selectors have had their say, but we've finally learned who's DM's Razer has answered with his first squad of the year. If you could...

The Group Chat discusses State of Origin Game 2 and their initial reactions after the game. As two Blues fans, Charlie and Phil clearly weren't happy with the result, but at least Game 2 was more of what Origin is about. Super Rugby Pacific comes to a close this weekend with the Crusaders hosting the Chiefs in the Grand Final down in Christchurch. The Warriors are back at home facing a depleted Pa...

Just because the Wahs were on a bye that didn't mean the fellas had plenty to watch over the weekend. From the Super Rugby Semi-finals, US Open at Oakmont and the World Test Championship the boys had their hands full. After Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open, Tennis has gained a lot of traction as to which sport is the ultimate examination of an athlete, and who is the most complete athlete ever?...

There are plenty of finals going on at the moment with Basketball and Ice Hockey taking centre stage in the States. But we have more than just that. Super Rugby is very much at the pointy end of the season, the World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa is underway and both Charlie and Phil are all over it. After a well poised first day, Phil still thinks South Africa are a g...

The Kiwi's were flying on the world stage over the weekend. Foxy and the All Whites in Canada, dominating Supercars in Perth and even in the road cycling business. Should NZ sports incorporate the US 7 game series method to their finals formats? Charlie issues an apology to Super Rugby but we'll let you guys decide whether it was sincere or not. Plenty to love, lots to like and a little bit to loa...

The Super Rugby Finals format has been a huge talking point all week and the boys are not a fan of it. After Super Rugby had been such a good competition so far, how'd the script writers manage to ruin it with this? After the Team of the Season was named based on votes, Phil makes his Team of the Season based on fantasy points and Charlie has his based on opinions. How do they match up? UFC 316, t...

A Wahs win but at what cost? The Group Chat name this week has been set as 'No Mitch, No Magic'Charlie ask's how faithful are Warriors faithful after losing their co-captain for the rest of the season? Who steps up and how do they fill massive void left by Barnett? Phil treats us with two questions this week which leads to disecting football acronyms. For this week's Like it or Love it, the boys d...

State of Origin game 1 is in the books and the boys had a late one at Tyler St Sports bar for the Watch Party. The Rock Drive's hosted pot was in full motion through the night with just over 11k to pay with. Some winners and some losers but it's the 4th try scorer that takes the cake. They then look ahead and preview the weekend of sport inlcuding the Champions League final and last round of Super...
