Episode 25: Cows, Combines, and Footy


Grab your headset and jump in the tractor—Episode 25 of The Incoherent Podcast is live! This week, the boys are balancing life on the land with life on the ladder.
Inside this episode:
 * NRL Round 4 Preview: We break down all the matchups for the weekend. Can the Knights find their rhythm against the Bulldogs? Is the battle for Brisbane going to the Broncos or the Dolphins? We’ve got the full rundown.
 * The Big Announcement: We discuss the massive news shaking up the NRL this week—from expansion whispers to the latest on the 2026 Grand Final location. What does this mean for the future of the game?
 * Farming Simulator Fever: Why are we obsessed with crop rotation and heavy machinery? We dive into our latest adventures in Farming Simulator and why it’s surprisingly more stressful than a golden-point finish.
 * Weekly Banter & Bets: The usual nonsense, our "lock of the week" bets, and our tipping segment where reputations (and ladders) are on the line.


Cowboys. Warriors Nights, the season's on the line arguing all the odds and predictions. It's a sign. Smashing buttons online. Got the console glowing, bright, just three mates talking, trashing, arguing all night. It's all just bantering noise. Incoherent and disconnected now. Lost in the mayhem. Trying to make sense of it somehow. Sports and games and shouting. Yeah, that's what we are about. The Incoherent podcast. Let's hear you shout it out.

Welcome back to the Inca Hero Podcast, episode 25.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. Who else's week was ruined by having to go back to work after a month of peace and quiet.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You didn't even have a month off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, idea. I had two blocks off. Work's had roughly be a month. I'll come back on the same block that I left on. Well, I've been doing some training, some truck driving, some braking of trucks

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

all you

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

order.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

attendant.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm not a steering wheel attendant. I.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Big steering wheel attendant

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I show up.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

warmer.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

seat

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You've been a bench warmer all your life.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I haven't. I won you a grand final fuck off.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You did not win me a grand final.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I was there when we won.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

enough.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

win it. For me,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I did because I, Dr. I broke old mate's nose and sent him to the blood bin.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

my tactical brilliance as a coach.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

was that the game wasn't Uber.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I dunno, I can't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm pretty sure you was. I'm pretty sure you came and I hit old mate near the end of the second half and hit him in the nose and Zach pulled me off and he goes like, what'd you do that for? I said, didn't like the way you looked at me.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

looking at you thinking what the fuck's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

bloke?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I didn't mean to, I, I hit him and Zach said, what'd you do that for? And I said, just showing him that I was there. And then I didn't go back on the field. So

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

he hit, did he hit him with your head?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Naomi shoulder square in his nose. I busted his note. He went to the blood nin

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

in a game of soccer.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

it'd be like the game that I come and watch you play football and you dack them with your head.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

That was, that was one time, and

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I shouldn't have been there.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It seemed like a good, this is why I won't go to Maitland and watch one of their American football games because I'll end up talking myself into, you know what? I could do this. And I'll be sitting there trying to be a quarterback when really I'm like,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Please do.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you know, an orange peeler that had cut me finger off.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

do

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

just do it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

anyway,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Although,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

got that little bit outta the way.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

big enough for all those gray hairs,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I can shave my head.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yes, that would be a, an improvement

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

they're my wisdom here. So I get one added every time I grow wiser. Eventually I'll be a wizard. So it's.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Is that you?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I am more of a

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

wouldn't be

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

long bot and me got better as it went on. Uh, the one thing I did notice though, now that all our shit's over Mr. Fancy pants over, he is coming out with a Warriors jersey.'cause they're on top of the fucking ladder.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

He didn't ever come out with one of the good ones. I like the ones they got now with the green.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Hey, this is the vintage.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, I know. It's not really, but yeah. I didn't like those ones.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

this is the nineties. This jumper.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

This is when, this is when Stacey Jones was running in this Ivan

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

is.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

played in one of these.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

no.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I I'm gonna Google.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

you'll see.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

that's.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the Vodafone

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. I still think,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the line bidder.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I still think that's gonna be a 2002 jersey, not nineties. I reckon it's not nineties.'cause Telstra Premier Ship started in 1998.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I can't see. I know it's an Excel.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. What year did the Warriors or New Zealand Warriors, does it say Auckland or New Zealand? I would say New Zealand wouldn't it? So

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

It doesn't say, it just says Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it's from Best in Less. S

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, no. It's an actual jersey. This is

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

joking.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Zealand. This one

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So it wasn't the best

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I got one of

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

New Zealand warriors

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

start

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

warriors were

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

it's got the Telstra Premiership on it. That's how old it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Silver and Black Street.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

a photo of your head.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It won't be nineties. I reckon it's 2002. The New Zealand warriors began wearing a predominantly black and silver uniform in 2001. So it's not from the nineties

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

You are wrong.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

for one year?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

You're

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you said two.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I said 2002.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You said

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Hey, you know it's funny but I had a little side bet on the game on the weekend. I didn't see any of it at all, but I had a little side bet worries the Win Warrior 13 plus

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

AS score and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you got it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

score as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So you're betting outside of your fucking thing.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

It was a little side bet. I thought,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I've found the exact jersey and it says 2003.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

well, you are wrong.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So anyway, warrior is sitting at the top of the ladder in front of the Penrith Panthers, and the other thing that stands out on the ladder is the Sea Eagles are 11th in front of the Cowboys, Broncos, Raiders, roosters, dragons, and Titans, and the Sea Eagles have not won a game this season yet, which makes me want to amplify. Get rid of the fucking buy points. We don't need them. It's the dumbest thing ever.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

pretty much just, just give everyone the six points straight away. All get rid of it all together.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, just don't have, if you don't play, you don't win points. You can't, you can't give them points.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I know it doesn't affect it. You just go off the win and loss. You go off the win and loss,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

At the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

but

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

the season, everyone

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I know that it all works out at the end of the season. But why do they give you two points for having a week off?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You're winning though, aren't you? You're still winning.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You are not because you're not playing. You're not, you're not.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

the buyer.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, you're not. It's dumb. No, it's dumb. It is so dumb, so dumb.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it does not affect anything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

know you can say no because I know it doesn't affect anything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it's so pointless.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh, no, it's not. You get two points.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It's like put,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

pointless.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it's like putting an eraser on the back of a pen. You can't use the fucking thing. It's useless.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Sometimes you can,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, that's right. Do you even math.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You know what I mean? What is math got to do with it? Fucking hell.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah. China.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Ugh. That's it. I just think it's stupid. The seagulls sitting there in 11th, which looks kind of respectable. When you look at the ladder and fucking, you got all these other teams that have actually won games like the Cowboys, Broncos, Raiders, roosters. They've actually won games, but they're sitting under the seagulls like,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

A game haven't.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

But then you've got the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are coming third as well, and they've had a buyer,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

well, they've only won two games. The Panthers and the Warriors, they've won all three games. Like I know the Bulldogs are still undefeated,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

mm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So, but my wife did do a magical thing and buy me that magnet ladder thing so I can constantly see where it's sitting. Anyway, but I did have a thought when she brought it in. I'm like, ah, next next year I'm gonna have to buy a new one because the bears come in, and then the year after that, I'll have to buy a new one

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

do know. It's also a constant reminder come the off season when the knights have won back to back spoons and it's sitting in

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

when, all right, the nights, if everybody noticed, I was very brutal, when the Knights beat the Cowboys because Zach's Fuckwit Hoover. Congratulations. Well done. The Warriors played very well. I do have thoughts on it, but not. Not, not because the the nice

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

thoughts, because

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the Warriors were the better team and the Warriors deserve to win. No, it's got something completely different. I wanna get to the other bit though. We've got the Bears coming in next year. Right. So I was sitting there thinking, I'm like, obviously goes to nine games a week instead of eight. Even number of teams no buy. What if the NRL decides well we can give teams more time off if they have two teams have a buy each week and have the same amount of rounds when they do the TV deal?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Nah, they won't.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't think they will. I think they go to the nine teams because it gives, it gives more, more views.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

because they'll, there'll be more games, which is, yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

But then the year after, you're going back to a buyer anyway, so you haven't won season without a buyer and then you go back to.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

doesn't.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the thing. Do you go to, do you go back to a Monday night game, or do you just go three games on a Sunday?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think you go three games on a Sunday first, unless they move the stupid six o'clock Friday night game, which I don't think they will.'cause that works really wor really well for home games for the Warriors. Absolutely. Shit. As for the Perth, the Perth Will, Perth will never play at a six o'clock Friday game.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, well,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

They'll,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

o'clock. That's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. That's like three, four o'clock in the afternoon for them at on a, on a, on a on a Friday. Everyone's, everyone's still coming home from work.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they'll play at that time. be over there.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

well, what you do is you put the Warriors on the Friday night at six o'clock and then perf at the later game.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, that'd, that'd work really well. But what I mean is you're not really, you know, unless it's like Good Friday when everyone's home or a public holiday.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

but the other thing with that too is righto. So if you do the Warriors at six and then perf at the eight o'clock game, they're actually gonna be playing at the exact same time.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I think it'll be super Saturday, super Sunday. I don't think

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it'll be still, they'll still call it Sunday ticket. It, it won't be changed to super, but it'll be three games each Saturday, Sunday. I think they do once the 20th team that they decide comes in. Which brings to the other thing that I was thinking about today when I was writing this episode out. I said last year that over Christmas or after Christmas, they were gonna eliminate the origin eligibility thing with the tiers and Kiwis and Englishmen and be able to play it and not gloating. But I did get that right.'cause that did happen.. With all three of us. I know I put yous on the spot'cause I've already thought of one. What do you think the next big call that changes the game's gonna be? Whether it be a rule or what do you think the next thing they're gonna bring in to change the game?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Two teams in New Zealand?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You reckon they're gonna, this year that they're gonna announce this year? You reckon they announce a new team? This not for this year, but you know what I mean. Well, they, they could, they could announce it, 2030 another New Zealand team. They could do that this year. Gives'em more time to build and stuff.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well, not really because they've already got it there because like I was watching the thing there, the o uh, the other day, and they said the North island and South island, they pretty much hate each other.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

It's like a rival between'em. Christchurch is one of the base and Auckland is the other base. So

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

could, they could make it work, but, but what do I think might be a big call this year? Probably they're gonna kick Parramatta outta the comp.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

That's your big call is they're gonna kick Aaron, Matt, out of the comp.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, I don't know.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

We want listeners dickhead. Zach,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, because one of my mates, he's a good, he's a mad Paramatta supporter and one

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

He's a weird fucker. Then

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

and one of the other blokes is a rooster supporter. And like they go at each other all the time on Facebook. And um, he put the ladder up there the other day going, oh, look where everyone's standing. And then I just get on there and I'm just like, up the wa and then, yeah, then

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

let's go.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, I'm just like up the WA and then both of'em just like it and then that's it. They just stop going at each other.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What was the sign going? Warriors or something?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, let's go. And Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Let's go on Warriors. Oh, fuck it all. Zach, what do you reckon the next big announcement's gonna be,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I reckon by the end of the year they're gonna announce midyear internationals again.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you reckon?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

can see it coming back. They're gonna have, as, as the world game grows, they're

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

grows.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I think it will. This whole Vegas thing's slowly taken off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think, I think the, I think that the Vegas thing might be more so taking off because Australians like a boys trip and they like to get pissed and it's in Las Vegas and it's a big trip and it's an excuse. My team's gonna Las Vegas to play. I'll never get to see this again. I think that's why it seems it's doing, it's doing a job. It's doing, it's doing what it, what it it's designed to do. It is bringing popularity to it in America

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

they keep going there. Do you, do you think it's gonna result in a competition coming out of America, the rival, the NRL in say, 15, 20 years?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

That's never

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No. Oh,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

talking about that. International games growing and they want more internationals,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. Well, he wants to do the global round.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

we're gonna see. Tonga and Samoa start playing international throughout the year

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

we're gonna see the Anzac test come back

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. I wouldn't mind sending,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

gonna reduce, if they're gonna reduce the, the games, like club games of the year.'cause they're, they're all winging about the season's been too long.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they're gonna bring international games back in and it'll be announced by the end of the year.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. All right. Well, the next.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

due Cowboys play over in England like they did with the Vegas thing, probably gonna go and sort of link it up with a EPL match.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You reckon?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. Make a full week, fortnight, month,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

was gonna say, gonna need more than a week?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

full month of it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Business expense.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

see that, that I could justify going over and watching me team play. Well, I'll just say in London. I know they're not gonna probably play it in London, but like I said last week, north of England's more league sort of thing.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

You didn't even wanna spend the money to drive to Newcastle

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Me because, yeah,'cause fuel's fucking expensive.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

He wasn't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Like

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

about the, he did not be down there

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

who? Like that's said, there's money in oil. She's know there's money in oil

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and it started just digging in the backyard. Probably hit a sewer pipe and got fuck found oil

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

a shit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

bes pretty much you do that for a living anyway, so, yeah. Um, I think my big call that they're gonna make, and I don't think it'll be by the end of this year, um, I think it'll be the end of, oh, probably will be the end of this year because they're doing the TV agreement. Chiefs come in, there's extra teams, so that takes it to 19 teams, or it might be the end of this year.'cause next year goes to 18 teams, and I've said it before, the top eight was designed as half the competition can make finals. So I think by the end of the year, after they've completed the TV deal, there'll be an extra week of finals and it'll be a world card round because that's what the AFL's done. And. The A FL will do it this year. They might wait and see what the reaction to the a FL is before they announce it, but I'm pretty sure once TV deal, they're gonna announce that there's gonna be a wild card round and go down that route. And I think it's gonna be, I think it's gonna be 10, 9, 8, and seven. We'll play each other. So seven will play 10, eight will play nine, and the winners outta that will play five and six.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, I don't reckon they played five and six.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I, I think the top six.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I reckon they played one and two.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think that top, oh yeah, they could do that. That would make sense. Gives an advantage, but

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

because your, your top teams get the buy

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

straight

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Well, the, the, the six are gonna get the buyer. The six are gonna get the buyer. But the way that I'm seeing it is that., That goes in and then makes an eight and it'll just go exactly how it Al Al already does go. Five and six will have to play that week and then the week after to go up against the teams that, are playing to go into the final. But I think that, say now the Warriors and the Panthers are one and two, I think if they win after the week, after the world card round, I think they get another buy. And then they only have one more game to play to get into the grand final. So they only play two games in the finals and the rest of them battle out for that chance to play in that prelim. I think that's the way that they're gonna go with it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'd, I'd

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I don't think they do.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the through.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You don't

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

your team play through.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I can understand that. But they're gonna give, they're gonna give, they're gonna give you outta those, they're still gonna give the advantage of those top four teams. They get the home final, they're gonna get all of that stuff, you know what I mean? Like, I think that's how they're gonna format it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

the buy

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I still think once you get to 20 teams and that, I think it's still gonna be a top 10, it won't be a top eight. And the only way that you can do, it's a world card format where 7, 8, 9, and 10 all play each other in the first week of the finals. And then the rest of them play it out like,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

no one and two get the buy.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. One of,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Three

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

say

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

to 10. through to 10 play.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, but nine and nine and 10 are gonna be the teams that are the actual wild card.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. Well, that's

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, that's right. They've got.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

other, so nine and 10 play each other

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

then.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

But how, how's that gonna be fair to who? Seven and eight play each other? So what then eights eight or sevens kicked out and a wild card team gets to play.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

not.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the thing. Well, when, when you look, if you look at last year on the for and against, so from, I think, uh, one of the years from six to 12 or 13, we're all on the same points except for, for and against if you're on the same points and it's just a foreign against, it's keeping outta the top eight.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, well that, that's part of it. That's why four and against is there four and against is there for that reason.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

or learn to tackle.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

And then it goes, it goes even further. If they, if they're, if they're a level on four and against, then it goes to how many tries you've scored and then it goes to how many converge and all that shit. It just goes down all the way through it. So I'm worried about Zach.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, it's his light in the background.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, it's coming up. Network's struggling anyway.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

not

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Anyway, I, I think it'll be a wild card thing. I dunno how they're gonna format it. I honestly think they're gonna have like a seven against 10, eight against nine. Whoever loses is knocked out. Those two teams that win, they go up and join the top eight. And I think they do it the way that they already are doing it because the reason that the top four play each other and the bottom four play each other. And then the top four get another chance is literally because of when a team won the minor premiership, they get knocked out by eighth. Wasn't fair because they've gone through to win the minor premiership and they're out in the first week.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Like, no, it's fine. It's different competition. I don't, I don't see the, if you are, if you're the minor premiers and you are good enough to win the minor premiership, you should be able to beat eight. But that's, that's not how they do it anymore. Even the A FL do the same thing.'cause we converted from McIntyre to their top. Like they did. So that's why I think that they'll change this.'cause it's fairly easy to understand once it's, um, formatted out the way it should be. And there'll be a lot of planning around it. And I think it'll be announced as part of the TV deal. So it still means that What one? Well, sorry, it's 10. So it still means seven teams miss the finals every year or eight once the chiefs come in. It's still gonna be hard to be better than half the competition.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah. They see, they might not be,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

On the.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

They may not even change it. It's, they, it may just be top eight.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It's too little of a thing to actually run the finals off.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

but it's gonna make teams want to be better.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, but if I'm looking from an NRL

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

only gotta win half a games to get into the top 10

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

just sort of case through, you get that little bit of bonus and everything.'cause you made the finals like you don't, it'd be like the Tigers. They were ninth for fucking five years in a row.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. But if I'm looking at it,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

better.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

if I'm looking at it as a, from a, um, business point of view from both people that have the tv, no I'm not. I'm, I dunno, fuck all about business. But if you look at it from their point of view, that's two extra games that you can put onto your TV screen to have viewers watch your TV channel driving your numbers up, driving your money up. So you're gonna pay the, and then the NRL coming off that, the NRL gets paid more because we're gonna offer you these two extra games before the finals that are gonna be final quality games. Before it actually happens. I think they could do that. That ruins my plans of having a week off before the grand final to combat concussions. But because that's extending the, the season by another week. But I think they need to reformat it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I don't think they're gonna change the date.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, I think,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

gonna be on the long weekend and it's gonna stay there,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think next season, uh, when the chiefs come in, I think they're gonna reduce the season because there's gonna be no buys at all other than the around. They'll probably have buys around origin.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

when they finish. The grand Final will

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. But they'll shorten the season up. So we'll probably be starting now.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

bring, which is what I said.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

bring internationals in.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

We're gonna see midyear internationals come back. We're gonna see the Anzac test played on Anzac Day. Hopefully not fucking on the next Friday night because that was a stupid idea. The Anzac test should be played on Anzac. Who cares if the clubs have gotta bring other players in to their outta their top 30 to come play that week? Who gives a fuck? They do it during origin.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, I think there's a whole rugby league's. Very,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

want fucking Australia and New Zealand to bash each other on Anzac Day.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you want that? Send us a message. What would you rather see? Would you rather see the traditional?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Fisher Harris wants that and he is a fucking purebred Kiwi and he can't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, but

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

so the Anzac Games, the teams that play on the Anzac Day, the Roosters and Dragons, and then the storm usually used to play the Warriors, but they haven't. They've changed that now where the Warriors have their own at home. The storm have their own one. I think the Knights played the Warriors last year. They did. They, they, those sick jerseys, but,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It doesn't matter.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

uh, I think it does,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

club games that week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

but that's what I'm trying to say. Rugby league,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

test

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

rugby League leans heavily on traditional shit and you go change that traditional shit.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it's tradition to play the Anzac fucking test.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well see the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It's not,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

this year

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It is.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Day

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. They're swapping and changing with those two,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

test

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the only traditional ones, the Roosters and Dragon One

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Roosters. Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

play Thursday night football the following round.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

But it, that's, they're, it's the whole point of playing it at the SCG on Anzac Day is the whole point of it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Will you put New Zealand versus Australia? The SCG?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, I know. I, I understand. Where is it coming from?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

that would be a really good bank.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

On Anzac.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I, I think there's gonna be people that are gonna want it the other way around, I think. I think there will be, but yeah. Anyway.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

don't, why don't they make it like a state of origin then? Have, have'em Start off, get rid of the Indi. Oh, well, no, you can't get rid of the indigenous and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, funny you say about the indigenous game and getting rid of it and what we said, um, at O Car, oh, I can't remember who else it was at O Car and somebody else, like a former great indigenous player is trying to organize a tour. I don't know of where or who they're playing, but they're trying to organize like the ashes last year with Australia. They're trying to, um. Organize a tour for the indigenous team to go England or New Zealand or something like that to play teams over there, or play England or whatever with indigenous only team. And they, and at our car reckons that they're gonna be keen to play it. What did we learn from last week's Han? What stood out to you?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

night suck.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Nights didn't suck.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

no. We suck again. Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm happy to take the loss'cause the Warriors did play better. And I am saying right now, Tanner Boyd is killing it. I'm absolutely loving what he is adding to the Warriors. Whoever, you can announce your team's little announcement if you want. Do you join?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

He is back, baby. He's fucking back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So Metcalf's coming back in

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

has been named as number six.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

with Tana Boyd and the way that they're playing at the moment, I think that's a really big in and they're gonna be very hard to beat

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

See, the thing is, but they've dropped, they've,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

from the inside,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

below the hip knees going again.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

well, the thing is they have named Chanel on the bench as

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, I think that's the way it's gonna, whilst ever t Boyd's playing the way he is and I think he's earned it, I think that's gonna be the best halves combination that the warriors are gonna get. Tana Boyd,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

they dropped to a picky, they did drop to a picky

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

see, I'd leave to a peaky there and move Charles to a, to a fucking center or something.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well see Pompey's back.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

he, he only missed last week because the birth of his child.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

They, they just, they um, they're very signed to Peaky though, haven't they? Last week.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, yeah. He's, he's, I think he's on until the end of 28 or 29.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

boys, they've, they've signed them Long deal, like Leer, layman, stone, Dmitri and all that. They're all on until like either 28 or

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

They've, they've signed'em on big time.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. And I'm pretty sure Cox's Dad's deals over the end of this year.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

We'll see. Oh, it's either this year or maybe the end of next year. But see, the, the ones that I think they're gonna replace is, um.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Barnett.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

no Barnett Barnett's gone, but there's talk that they might be getting Grant Anderson

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Brisbane, he'll either replace two USA because there two USA is talks with the Sydney Club back to the roosters by the sounds of it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, what I seen was that they were offering him two Sydney clubs'cause he'd like to move back to Sydney and that, that he won't take any less than a two year deal. He's not negotiating with him unless it's less than two. If it's less than two.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I, I hope he stays at the Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I hope he stays at the Warriors too, but he is also done a lot for that club.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the thing is, if he stays at the Warriors, he's on the run on side. You can't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, no,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

cannot bench him. He's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

no, that,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

that's what I mean. Like Cox Dad's gonna be, I'd say he's gonna be moved on. Not that he is a bad player, but there's two more teams coming in like

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Clarksdale is a really good player. Like

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, he

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

he had

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

is, he is.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

his, he like, he, he left the Warriors'cause they, they had two of USA there, so there was no place for him. So he went to the Raiders and then when he got injured at the Raiders, when they dropped him reserve grade. And then that's when two of USA was gone. So they thought, oh, we'll bring him back. And then

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

wanted to come back from there. So yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. But to Peaky, I've worked out why.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

good headache to have.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

good headache to

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. No, it is, it's good. It's just showing growth and depth in the New Zealand team that they haven't had for a pretty long time., The last finals run was 2011 when they run the grand final, so, and I worked out why Zach likes to peak you so much. He's got a cool name to say, just like frigging old mate of the roosters. And he's basically, he's basically, he's basically a New Zealand Matt Bowlen. So he's covered off two of Zach's favorite things. He is cool to say, and.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and I mean absolutely fucking nobody. Is anyone like the mango?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

There's any news that

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Reese Wesa. Yeah. Reese

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

with, I,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

reckon.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

worked with Rece weer.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

uh. You showed up and stole the wage. He happened to be on the same job site.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

anyone could be as Matt Bowen. I reckon Reese weer

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

the man, the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

is in a league of his own.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So I wanna find out what a New Zealand version of a mango is. Is it a kiwi fruit?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

bird. You're spastic.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What? Be a kiwi fruit? Do they come from New Zealand?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm starting to sound like an idiot, aren't I? I'm, I'm really, I really want to go to New Zealand and try one of these pies that they keep talking about because it's starting to give the shit

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Hey, I've, I've actually thought about flying over there for a game

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm coming.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

speed,'cause the Speedway season also starts like very shortly

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you can't afford fuel to go to Newcastle Cunt.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

know. Well at the moment I'm close to it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm talking about this fucking Muppet. Oh, I'm coming.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. Jump on the Coltrane and fucking write it down.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Eh. Might be worth, I've got a passport. I don't have to pay for a passport, so

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm allowed outta the country somehow.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You are allowed the country, but you're not allowed near schools.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Anyway, back to the night. Not upset that they got beat. The Warriors were the better team, and I'm happy to take the loss. Tana boy played out of his skin across all the games this year so far. The new six again, rule where they've set it back is what's affecting all the scores. We're getting higher scores.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

in round one though, did it?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the only team that is capitalizing on the six again, rule

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Warriors the other night.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

is no, no. Every fucking round so far is the Warriors. The Warriors are the only team that are capitalizing on the six scan

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't think they're the only team that's capitalized on it. See what's happening is they're just cocking their arm and it's basically,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

saying thank you.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it's basically making it so that it's unlimited tackles again, because you're just hitting, hit up, hit up, hit up, hit up, and then they're getting fatigued. You, you're seeing, you're gonna see the end of this year. They're gonna have a lot of injuries. If they keep this up, they're gonna lose that competitiveness.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

You know how you get your six agains hooker

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

because you get up play's in the ruck. If you've got a smart hooker, you can get a six again. Pretty damn fucking easy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you what?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

it. Wade Egan's doing

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Speak. Speaking of hookers, I wouldn't be

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What sort of hook

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

bro, ones.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

of rakes, I wouldn't be too surprised if

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So the hook is in rakes.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

is moved on.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Who's

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I don't mind that young hooker coming off the bench.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, what's his name?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

he come on for eagan on the weekend and I

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

was watching him.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

been doing that for the last season and a half now.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Egan's only been since Eagan. He's hurt his, he hurt his elbow there

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. But I wouldn't be too surprised if Egan's, I wouldn't say pushed out, but asked to relocate.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh, see

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

He'd be a good nine to

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

last year?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

pick up.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

that, well, last year they were saying that Eagan should be New South Wales. Number nine.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh, I think Bray's got a, got him covered.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

The

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

he's, he's definitely in the discussion last year, but he's, don't think Eagan is Robson or Braley

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I, I don't know if Braley ISS gonna push Robson outta that either.'cause he played really well on the weekend, coming back from a broken thumb at a new club. The six Agains, they're definitely affecting everything. There's gonna be more, more high scoring games, and I think this season is gonna be, they're gonna break records for the highest scoring games, overall scores for the entire game. The Knights game was a good example. Knight's Defense was shithouse when those two tries went through untouched, but I think that's mostly a result of fatigue is why that happened. Why it became so easy.'cause it, they just had that many six agains all in a row and then they sent hunt off. And I still don't know what Hunt was sent for. I know you're sent because of the continuous penalties, but what did he do in the first place? The warrant, the penalty. Anyway. What did you notice anything this weekend that stood out to you?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

football. Really.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You didn't see much of anything. We texted you on Saturday for to play video games and we haven't heard from you since.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I wasn't fucking, like I said, I was outta service. I was outta block.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

How,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well, we left home, I think it was like one o'clock ish

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

how can you afford the fuel?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

and then didn't get home until, I think it was 1130

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. No, it's all, it's all good.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

He's gave me the promise of playing farm and simulator. You didn't show up.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I was doing real life farming simulator out there.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, I offered a tractor.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, I was actually supposed to send you a picture of another tractor that I've seen out there for sale, but I didn't stop.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh. Um, you just wanna know what the really shit thing about this week is. The fucking Broncos won. And what do Broncos fans do when they win?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh, yes.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

They come outta the woodwork and they carry on. And it's like you've won one game, dude.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

so

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Won the,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the jonesie rang me there this week. You know what the first words he said was, I've already got my grand final tickets.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

he probably does.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

And I'm like, fuck off mate. I said, they won one game. He goes, yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

They get beat this weekend by the dolphins. You pain houses out

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I, I could name, I could name three teams that are playing better than the Broncos right now.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

The Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Warriors is Panthers,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and Raiders.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

That's four. Can you count?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. I wouldn't say

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Raiders. Haven't the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Nah. The Raiders. The Raiders are, the Raiders will come good by the end of the season. I don't think they'll be as far off where they, where they were last year.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

better than the Broncos right now.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

are.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Then in the same sentence he said,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Also said that I could name three teams and I named four.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, you're drunk.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I think the Raiders are playing better than what the Broncos are. I know they just beat the storm in Melbourne, which they haven't done for a very long time. And Zach did say last week that the time for the Broncos, the win would be this week in Melbourne, against Melbourne. So yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, what was noticed about that game though? Bronco's also done it only using two subs that didn't use their whole bench,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. Maj wanted the, um, he wanted the more experienced players on the park and went with that. So it worked for.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it did.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So I think, I think Melbourne blew a couple of opportunities at the end where they probably could have won it, but ultimately they didn't. Broncos held on so, and their defense was fairly decent to what it has been the last two weeks. But I still think for a team that's just come off a premiership, we're not be expecting them to be a lot, give a lot more, so, yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Like I said, um, they got the Dolphins this week, battle of Suncorp,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and I think Dolphins, the way they played against the Sharks the other night,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I think the Dolphins could, could beat them.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. I think

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Herbie's in

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

IQ is only getting better. Like what, what, what stage does he start getting spoken about to partner a Moses or a Cleary in the HARs for New South Wales. Like

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

there was already,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

last year.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

there was already talk about it, but I think he could be one of those players that's, uh, he could be a lot like DCE,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you reckon?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

he, he misses out on a lot of

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Accolade? Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

because of who's in front of him. Like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

was stuck behind Thurston and Cronk for so long. was up there and probably deserved a shot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

And Ka could be very much the same with Cleary Lui. Moses,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

he, he's probably, I don't know, Cody Walker's still thereabouts. Possibly for a six he's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

right. Depending on who you pick, if Latrell gets picked at left center for New South Wales,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you could play Cody at six.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You got strange.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, you got strange in there as well. I think that's the future though. And qa ka,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

there's,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

next seven and six.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Cleary's still got a fair bit of time left, I think.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh 27?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, something like that. Around, about there. Um,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

alright,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

at too is with Nathan is fucking, what's his future look like? Or like,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

right. Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

outside of Rugby League look like with Mary?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

If he, if Nathan comes out and wins another Premiership this year. WinDor origin finally proved to everyone that he can lead that New South Wales team to a three nil victory. Or a two, three what? To two, one victory. Does he walk away, go to English,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

come back to the Warriors. Ivan Cleary goes assistant coach to and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

That was Viagra.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

That was Viagra.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

He's playing with it now.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Jet. They bring in

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Yeah. Right. That's not happening. Well,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

but there's every, there's every chance that Nathan does walk away. He's then won everything.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, it,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

If he can, if he can even win a, Rugby League World Cup this year,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the reason why I think he wouldn't walk away is he's leaving a lot of money on the table by doing that

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

though.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

not,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

If he was to go to somewhere,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

team

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, he could go to a Super League team, but. I don't know if, I don't know if a Super League team's gonna pay as much as an NRL team will play him. I think a rugby union play, I think a, I think a rugby union team would pay him more than an NRL team.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

And he's, he's shown interest to play, he's play, he's shown interest to go and have a crack at rugby union, which is more popular in England. So, you know,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

gotta admit that the super rugby shit, the Pacific unit, the, it's, it's not hyped up. No one gets, do you ever meet someone that's excited about it? Do you ever see a jersey in the street? You don't. You never do. It's, it's shit. They, they, they can't compete with a FL and rugby league. Simple. The A-League, you see more, A-League jerseys around than you do. Like I, when was last, I've never seen it. It's someone wearing a super league jersey, a super, super rugby jersey. Oh, and watching 360 last night, they had the CEO of the Warriors come in and said that if they brought in a second New Zealand team, it'd definitely be the most popular sport in, you know,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

in New Zealand

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it'd overtake rugby. Because of, because of stuff like, just for, you know, a local sort of competition type thing.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well, that's the thing. You gotta look at it this way. They sold out fucking two rounds

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the fucking NRL even kicked off.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

two games already sold out.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

And I think the last push that the, that New Zealand need to fall in love with Rugby League proper and hard is the warriors to get a couple of premierships. They win one, they're gonna go nuts.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh, fucking no.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

They're gonna go nuts. Could you imagine a New Zealand team in any sport that wouldn't be excited to get it over an over an Australian competition? Like, I know that the big bashers they offered, they offered for a New Zealand team to come in and play in the Big Bash. They've declined it'cause they want to create their own 2020 league. How it goes, I, I'm not sure. I, I didn't even realize how massive cricket it was in New Zealand until a couple years ago when I realized that the one day team was actually half decent. The test team's actually half decent. I always just thought that it was like a mediocre thing in New Zealand, but it's not.'cause I don't actually know much about New Zealand.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they, they weren't always as good as what they are, though.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, Matildas went down to Japan, the dream's over, but we re Oh, I probably am surprised, to be fair, I'm surprised how far they blew out in the odds, like. The Matildas are a top team in women's international soccer. They're not. They're not slouches.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

no, but Japan's,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

number one?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Japan's out there

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I thought the US was in women's soccer.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

us is right up

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Massive.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

in the women's,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Brazil, England.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

But, um, I don't know. I, a couple of injuries didn't, didn't really help Matildas, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it was unlucky. Um, they made the final. They'll go again. But that team's been together now for, for a few years. They've probably got sort of, I dunno, maybe three seasons left before you start seeing some major retirements coming outta that side.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, and then we'll start to see how much depth

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

But they, those girls are setting the foundations for the ones that come behind them though, to improve it?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they are. And you'll still have a, a, like Mary Fowlers and that, that are over in England playing, and they'll still be around for a few more years. Like,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it's the same with all women's sports. Eventually they're gonna wanna start having family. So that's why you see a lot of the, the women retire early and then come back when they come back. They're never really the same.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

There's a couple of the NRLW girls that come back and they'll weren't, they didn't miss a step,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, but you see a lot of them on the international stage. They never, they don't, they try to keep playing internationals as long as possible,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

so.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Um, one more thing before we do our tips this week. Um,'cause we always talk about the games a bit more than what I realized. Um, I'll watch, I'll watched Hutter Field play Bradford the other day. Now I'll go and have a look at the English game, see where it's at. It's not at the standard of the excitement of the NRL yet. Fair enough. They're not that bad. It's still Rugby league. It's still good to watch. But the one glaring thing that I seen in it the other day, the officiating is a atrocious. It was a dude, they kicked the ball dead. He picked the fucking thing up and ran to the 20 meter line to take the tab. Hasn't tapped the ball and just kept running.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

The referee had his back turned, turned around and just play on. So he's running like nearly 40 meters up the field without tapping the ball. Like, yes, the referee had his back turned. Probably shouldn't have. Keeping an eye on what's happening in the game. Where are the touch judges or the video ref to have call him back and go, no, go back and play it. It's not that hard to make a quick decision if he didn't tap that on his foot. Like so, and there was a few of'em. There was just, and seemed the referees were confused on the rules, to be honest. Maybe the NRL taken over and fixing the rules. So they actually join up together as an international sort of rules that it's all the same. Like even at this stage we've got six interchanges. If they play England in a final, it's back to four. The six again thing. They do that now, but it's not the same as ours. Like it's always a year behind before they catch up. And then we've got another rule that changes it again. Maybe the NRL taking over kind of brings that a bit closer that they change it on a whole. But yeah, we'll just have to see how that goes. Anyway. So any other sports before we get onto the tips you'd wanna talk about

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

no, I, I don't have any more sports to really talk about.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I watched a little bit of the a FL. The sun seemed to be

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

going all right.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I did, I did a couple of minutes of it, but not march. Um, the, yeah, it's, it's hard to, it's hard to get into the A FL and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It doesn't excite me.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I tried to, I tried to watch Fri um, I tried to watch the splits view on ko, and this week I sent yous like, whose KO's playing up and stuff. I've had trouble with Koko all weekend. The split screen won't play properly.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It freezes up.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

KO the moment. I was reading an article earlier, lot of

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

are

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I just,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it. The prices.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

that's what I mean. They've up, sorry. They've upped the price on the Kao to something ridiculous, which I'm gonna pay because I wanna watch every rugby league game every week. I'll watch the NFL games and all that. I'll watch all the shows. I have Kao going constantly almost, so it's worth it to me. But to somebody who only wants to watch Ave Supercars game about race, which. They're every, what, three weeks apart? They don't need it for those other two weeks, so they're not watching it. It's pretty pricey and it's hard to, you can't watch supercars otherwise, or it's stupid, but to up the price and then the quality of the actual product goes down is a bit, they're not gonna refund it, it's just not what happens. So, yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

actually most of the game of the a FL on the weekend,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Really?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Adelaide game. Yeah. Because I had a bet on, on that game. But, um, yeah, it wasn't too bad.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

what the fuck they were doing, but um, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, you get the ball and then you kick it to someone and then they kick it to someone, and then you've got a, you got, you got two, three chances of scoring. If you get it in the middle, you get full points, and if you miss, they'll give you a point for try.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. But if it, if it, um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Or even if it is the pa.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

if it bounces before the line rolls through or if you punch it through is a different score as well. But what

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

figure out is

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Not if it bounces.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, it can bounce and go through the middle.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

they've got the oval for the outline. They can't fucking run around outside of it anyway.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh no. The ball's gotta stay within the line. It's the same as soccer.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, like fucking, I was watching

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

The line. So rugby,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

was running on the fucking fence there on the weekend

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

rugby league.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

to any sport.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Rugby league is the grounds, the out the air's not soccer. And a FL, it's like there's a wall sitting there and once it touches that wall, it's out.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

past the boundary. That's why they do that. Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

The soccer has to be whole ball. The ball can be on the line.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

AFL's the same.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

The whole ball

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and rugby league, you can run around outside.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

over. Yeah, that I know. You just can't touch the ball while you're out there.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You can't touch a ball in soccer or you are standing outside of the pitch as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh really? Oh yeah. Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it as it's going and you can run out and then come back in.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Can you do that in afl? I dunno.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

So,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't know. I'm not that into it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

uh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Can you get around it?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

uh,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

can not get around it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

can I get it? We gotta bring back to get around it. We don't get around. Nothing this way. We'll do Zach's. What's Zach around this week again?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What are you around this week, Zach? We'll bring back right now

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

to win 13 plus this weekend.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the wires win 13 plus.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Dewey's. Dewey's been named. So Dewey not as

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

doesn't mean anything.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

everyone thought, but Lui

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

He's a hamstring little's, gone four weeks.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, 95% of tips on Super Coach has gone the way of the Warriors

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah. But see, the funny thing is the easy games that the Warrior should win, they fucking lose.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

until this year.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you what, the, that game, that's the battle of the hookers Eagan and,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and it, it'd be a good matchup for May against Fisher Harris.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yep. We'll

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It'll really see,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

coming off the bench as well,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

uh, um,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Barnett's still Barnett. You can't drop Jackson Ford at the moment for Barnett.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I don't think they do, knowing the Barnett wants out.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

That's right. Jackson Ford is leading the D ems. Fucking hell. For a player that couldn't get a run on side two years, three years ago, got kicked

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

team, then come to the Warriors as a bench player. And now is

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Leading the Ds.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

leading the d EMS class as one of the, one of the best props at the moment going around.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. Well we've jumped the game ahead, but hey,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Did you get around him?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

get around the what, what.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Did you get around Jackson Ford?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um, we skipped a game. See? Who have you just got on the Warriors? I'm, I'm loving the way the Warriors are playing at the moment. They're really good to watch. Tana Boyd's killing it. Metcalf coming back. I, if I, well, I'm home that day, so I'll get to watch to see how they combine together.'cause I don't know. I don't think, I don't think boy and, um, met Kafa played together yet, have they?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yes. They played last season together.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, did they? Okay.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um, they play Friday, six o'clock. Told you it's a,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Who's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

a New Zealand game.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Who's the Thursday night game?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. U u's Got you both got warriors. I've got warriors.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Everyone's on the wires.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. Um, Thursday night's game is the seagulls and the roosters. Yeah, I'm on the, I've got the roosters and my margins. It is at Four Pines, which the night's better at. Four Pines. So that's a, that doesn't mean anything anymore.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

but they beat the buyer at four points.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

They didn't beat the buyer. They were given two points for no reason. You're full of shit.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Hmm. That's an interesting one. I'd like to take me in the wind. Um.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I can't, Robson played well last week. I think if DCE takes a little bit more

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

control,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Have you got the teams list up for that

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the team list, I haven't got the team list. Uh,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I heard that DCA was benched and Sam

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

in

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

surely not.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

fucking,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Hang on.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

seen something. There's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, I, I got the team. I.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

not gonna bench the six to play the seven that's already in,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

And they're, I gonna bench Cherry Evans. Cherry Evans is named is SIGs

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

right?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and Walker,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Rude is.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

you know, and Roosters because they've been piping it up as Fri Deli, cherry Evans, um, return Home.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

um,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

watch. It'll be a fucking upset. Manly will come out and fucking annihilate him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I've got, 18 points. Roosters

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No,, I reckon probably eight points in it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

see who else you got.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

mainly have been very average. The last two games they played,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I dunno. I think.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

they should have beat the Knights. They sh

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

gonna just fucking jam. DCE from the inside. And,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, maybe. I don't think so, but.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

but I think D C's, well, how many years did he spend there? 15. And so he's gonna have of secrets from that ground, from the way that that team plays. I think, yeah, they'll, chooks will just be, they'll be too good. Robinson's playing for his New South Wales shirt.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I dunno if it's warranted for him to be dropped from New South Wales, but Braley is probably the,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Bradley's knocking on the door.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

he's, he's up there with Harry Grant, like

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Braley was good the other night. Um.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

New South Wales have come up, come off a loss though. So how many changes do you make? So,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I don't think the changes are in the spine. No.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

well,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Other than

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

does, does a

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

possibly

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Does a Braley serve a Moses in a Clery Better?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

no.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um, fullback maybe. Does Edwards get the nod? I don't really. Who do you reckon it'd be putting their hand up for that New South Wales one jersey. Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, drink water.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So we've all got roosters.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I have a feeling that this week we are gonna be all the exact same bets. Just looking at the draw. Um, so we've got Broncos, dolphins at Suncorp, you've got dolphins.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yep.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

They just proved that wrong because I've got the Broncos.'cause I'm not sure. Has the Dolphins beat the Broncos?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Probably not. I'm gonna go to Dolphins.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Dolphins that,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I am on the fins. I said that before.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

oh, did you do it?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. I said the Fins will beat Broncos this week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No. Has, I think the way the Bron, the Dolphins played last week, they, they were the fins that I predicted at the start of the year to play finals.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um, yeah, I got Bulldogs nights at ACO Stadium on Saturday. The Bulldogs are playing Knight Reserve grade, PO's out Brown's out. Trey Mooney's out. Don't really know, or I'll have a look at the team list. I don't even know who was named. I, I think they've got too many players out.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Fletch still hasn't come back. Really? He was named last week. But is he ready to go?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, but gamble's pretty good. He'll, he'll, he's all right. He'll, he'll feel the spot.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't, I don't mind gamble. He can fill a spot. He is

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Gamble's a 14 and he's no better than a 14.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

so Fletch. Fletcher's been named, Frizzell's been pushed up front, which I expected. And then you've got Croker coming in at lock. So I expected that change, that fra be pushed up front.'cause that's what they did last year.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It shouldn't even be playing the wanker.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think it's once you get, uh, I don't, I don't think the Knights have enough NRL experience on the bench to cause an upset and we don't have enough creativity in the halves. To score points.'cause really last week they, they scored points, but they struggled to find the line. They were fatigued. I, I'm happy to give this one to the Bulldogs and I know outta the four rounds we've had, I've picked the Knights once, but I'm just trying to be realistic. So I've got the Bulldogs, he's on the dogs.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

are even a true supporter.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm being realistic. I'm a supporter who also tries to teach you how to do a podcast properly. How about you earlier saying that Hoover carries me on the podcast. Why could your tongue, his asshole, any,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Do, do you wanna ask the, the viewers what they reckon?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Does Hoover carry this podcast or are we dragging Zach behind us?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Please, please answer us Fiy.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Well, he's not the only one that listen to a few boys at work that are, um, impressed by the new, um, the new intro music. So if you're listening to it, you know about it. So.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

impressed about the, the blog that introduces a podcast to start off with. Now we've got a

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, you do that now? Okay, fine. Fine. You can, you can do it. So, um, yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you fucking learned to edit properly, we wouldn't have half the drums. We do. I,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I, I've been through why. All right. We're working on it. This one will be fine'cause you won't cut it up. Um,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

me, it's you.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Stadium, five 30 on Saturday. You have the Panthers against the eels.. I've picked the Panthers. But Parramatta have a habit of beating the Panthers for some reason, no matter how good or bad they are. I can't pick against the Panthers'cause they're playing so well. But the eels have put big scores on'em at starts of seasons and through the season, no matter where they are on the, on the ladder.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

the other night?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. He'd learn

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Did you see Milky Jenkins on the other side?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So I,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

were putting 40 on him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, yeah. Jenkins is playing well.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Parramatta is gonna have 50 put on him twice in the first five rounds. That's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I've already added Jenkins.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

confident

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I've already added Jenkins to, to the list of players that learned how to play after Lou in the Knights.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

So

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So he was horrible at the Knights. I can't, I dunno what's happening.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

think Dominic Young's good?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

He's very quick. He, I'll give Dominic y some credit this week. He actually ran through a line for one play. He didn't stand there and try pushing him off and he nearly broke through. Nearly. So he is getting there.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

he

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

working on it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

He didn't have the ball when he'd done that.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, he did.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

He did. He ran through the line once. But Marjo, I would hate for him to be running at me full pace. Fuck that. Um, so, but we're all on Panthers. Anyone going the Eagles? Anyone gonna Roughy? I feel like Zackers, they're gonna be going, nah, I'm going The Eagles. No.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

hate Parramatta.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh, we're supposed to be giving expert advice, not opinions on what we like and dislike anyway.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

my expert advice

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

All right. So give me your expert advice on Cowboy Storm.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

storm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Storm.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Fuck you. You're not a true supporter. Yeah, Broncos played'em in Melbourne. Why can't the Cowboys beat'em in Melbourne?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Cowboys can beat'em in Melbourne. They have,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't think they have.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they, they have.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

The rabbit days are never one in Melbourne. There's all stat for everybody when they play each other in Melbourne, I'm on the storm as well.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Raiders sharks at GIO Open the window and shatter a glass and cut your hand stadium. But

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

sharks are gonna fucking wanna bounce back after last week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think the Raiders are gonna want to bounce back at home. I've got the Raiders, I've lived in Canberra. I know how passionate that team is and that was, they were half decent. They made the finals so. What are you on Zach?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, I can't remember actually. I think I took the Raiders,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think it'll be the Raiders Hoover. You on the Sharks.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

shark,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm gonna,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

shark

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Sharks.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it's gonna be, it's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a good game.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm gonna say sharks.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So Hoover's actually thinking about what he's saying'cause he is leading the tipping comp at the moment and he doesn't wanna drop it because he doesn't wanna be

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm leading in both tipping comps that I'm in.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, I I'm about the same in both I men. So,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

What happened is that the weekend,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Hey, what?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

to is that the weekend?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

half of them. So

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you, you

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

he is

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

chirpy last week. You, you're at the bottom of your jonesie. You're fucking shit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

get one point in front of him. Oh, you still at the bottom?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

one point behind you sitting in fourth.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

so he's, Jones's excuse was, he's forgot to put him in on the super cage.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, there we go. Um, Titans Dragons wraps up the round this week. I think the Dragons are pushing for a win, and I think the, I think the Titans are gonna get to them.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I was gonna say the dragons as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I actually, I can't see where the Titan's First Wind's gonna come from. So unless they play the Knights,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

round, round, round six.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

they play the Knights

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, they play the Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

or Titans are a bogey team, aren't they? For the Warriors?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

They are a fucking buggy team for the Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Everyone's on dragons.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Titans were very flat

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

night. They, um, they copped a few, six agains and

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, I,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

been the, the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think that's what.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

opening few rounds, but

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, I think that's gonna dictate games as the six again, and it just basically comes the end of possession. If you hold the ball, you're more than likely to get a six again.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

not gonna dictate games

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think it will.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

'cause I listen to Willie Mason the other night and then I actually went back and had a look at

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

giveaway six Agains on fucking purpose.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Did you see that? That one that he put up on the podcast

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I've missed it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I went back and actually watched a few highlights and Penrith giveaway, six on fucking purpose just to defend.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yes.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It gets their line set

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and they're able

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

that

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

as a full line.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

that's been a thing since the six again, come in. That's why they started sin biding people for too many repeated ones that that's been around for a while. They're just better at doing it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

The

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

so.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

that he is been saying lately is fucking spot on by.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh no. Willie Mason's great with like his podcast and all that and he, he doesn't take a backward step. He like the take the take the Gordon Tallis thing that's been going on lately, for instance, right? The Broncos fighting with Tallis.'cause Tallis said some mean words to him and stuff like that. Gordon Tallis is a media personality now. He is no longer a football player. He is a former football player. He's on the media, right? He's paid to say that controversial stuff. So if it comes up, that's selling papers. That's selling subscriptions on your phone, that's making people watch 360. That's making people interact on the Facebook. That's all it is. That's what he's doing, right? Yes, he probably means it. And he's coming out and he's saying it. Otherwise he probably goes, you know what, I'm just gonna stay quiet on this or whatever. And the, the, the thing, the reason that I say it like Willie Mason, he's on his own podcast. He's got his sponsors and that's what people want and what they wanna listen to is his legit opinion. That's why he is good to listen to on that and why he is good with it. Right. And the thing is, so when people are watching the commentary for like origin and stuff, right? And you've got like Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Andrew John, you, they're always biased to their, to their own origin team to their state. Right? I remember listening to when um, Dan and Kemp was doing the Cameron Smith thing on SAN and he'd do the podcast version on the podcast. I'd listen to it and I remember Cameron Smith being on there and he asked him about like how he's passionate about Queensland and all this. And I'm not saying that he's not passionate about Queensland.'cause you can't'cause. One of the best Queenslanders has been for him, right? He literally said that when he went into that for the first time, he wanted to have a completely non-biased opinion on everything, and he didn't want to get into all that shit of frigging Yahoo and frigging, you know, Queenslander and all that shit. And then they come and approach me. They said, what are you doing? NBN? Or Channel nine? Their producers told him to be bias. Why do they tell him to be bias is because that's what sells papers. That's what, that's what interests people. Cameron Smith comes down and goes, this player's better than that player because he is a Queenslander. And then that player gets it over the Queenslander. Then you've got people interacting going, oh, you didn't know shit and all that. That's why they do that. They're media people. They're paid to make controversy and make views and likes and all that stuff. That's what they do. Willie Mason, he's on a podcast where he can, he can say whatever he likes on that. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They're not gonna sack him being on his own podcast or his own thing. He's, he's generating his own money through. That's why that stuff's good. And that's why, that's why that stuff's good. And that's why generally, people will go and listen to that stuff and they'll relate more because they don't have, they're not biased to it. They take his opinion. And I, I listen to heaps of those sort of things where they talk. I, I like some of the stuff that Fri Mitchell Pierce and Todd Kearney say on their one. And, that's why we're on an NRL podcast. Even though we love watching NRL, we talk a lot about NRL. That's just easier for us to talk about. We try to cover other things'cause there's too many of'em out there. But we're not former players. We're just fans who just love the game and love to talk about it and record it and hope someone else does too. So, yeah. But those media people, they're paid to say what they say. Journalists have, have paid to find what the scoops are and say things, and sometimes they try to get that scoop before someone else does. So that they can sort of big note themselves, you know, like I know that there's people that hated Paul Kent being on 360, but there's that many people that go and listen to his podcast because he is just open and doesn't do doesn't, he's not held back by anything anymore, you know? And yeah, it's just unfortunate the three won, like, anyway, so yeah. All right. We're done. Our tips for this week anyway. Everyone else go and remember to do your tips. It's in the Super Coach tips. Um, Hoover isn't winner neither. There's that other bloke, the Bronx,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh yeah, yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

don't even know who it is. So good on you. Thanks for listening to the podcast and thanks for beating us. So I suppose, but yeah. All right, Hoover, do you get up to any gaming, because I know what Zach was doing. No point in asking him.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

a bit of

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

A plow in the field.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I be, I've done a bit of speedway before. I went out at the farm

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, I've been playing the online ones at the moment versus all the Americans.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

they're fucking good.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. I, I don't know. I've thought about buying that, but see how I go? I've got enough to do

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

free,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I think it was, it was free there the other day, but I don't know Now I.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

uh, yeah. I, anyway, before we get to what Zach was doing,'cause I know what Zach was doing last week, I was excited. Crimson Desert was finally getting released. I've been talking about it and that I was excited. It's supposed to be massive and all of that. I did buy it. I did download it. I have played it. I've only played about two hours. And it's not because the game's bad, it's not because of any reason other than I'd be sitting there playing and I couldn't concentrate because I just wanted to play farming simulator. So I spent a whole weekend playing farming simulator anyway and had to restart from zero again because I couldn't figure out how to unload past nips and ended up$80,000 in debt without any loans. So I've since restarted. I now have a nice little property with a, with a paddock. I have a little tractor with a mower, and we're doing well at the moment. We're looking at getting some bees. We're looking at getting some chickens. We're looking at planting some, some, um, corn. I've got an iron, another field that's very cheap across the road. I'm gonna fill that with grass. We've got a plan going forward, so the empire from zero is gonna happen. But I really wanna play some crimson deaths. I really do because it's just it. It is good. The puzzles make you think A little bit. I'll admit I had to Google how to solve one of them because I was sitting there for ages and I couldn't figure it out. And it was just the order that you hit the thing in. But other than that, it seems like it's gonna be real good and I don't even think I've gone past the um, tutorial to it. It's not really a tutorial, you're just kind of playing it. I don't actually understand what's going on yet. And I'll get back to you is once I've put some time into it, like it's supposed to be a massive game, like 80 hours for the main story and the extra content on side of it. It's, it's pretty massive. So I didn't realize you could cut down trees and shit in it too. It's pretty cool. I dunno if you can build anything yet. But I'm gonna see. So anyway, how's your farm going Zach?'cause that's all you did all weekend.'cause I was there talking.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I did, um, log a few hours, plow in the fields on the grass, even cut the neighbor's grass.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So when you, as a teenager coming through chasing girls, did you ever actually think that you'd be on a podcast talking about plowing and it'd have nothing to do with what you was thinking about back then?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. Do you know.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You was just really excited to play our fields?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh, um, a couple hours of arc the other night, check on the base, make sure the dinosaurs were well stocked up on feed, ready to go another week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and then, yeah, back to the farm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Well, I think between Crimson Desert at the moment and farming simulator, I don't think there'll be playing much else, um, for the time being anyway. So,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yes. But then sitting there yesterday evening

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You've got BMX Street in you.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I did not, I did jump on and have a game of FIFA or fc,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, fc. Do you reckon you could ever get used to calling it fc?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

nah, it's fifa.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Hmm. Have we found a way to make farming simulated competitive yet? Well, I, I thought the other day that we could do our own farms first do a million, no loans at all. But you can do contracts, you can lease gear, but you can't get loans. So you can't just sit there and just click it till you've got a million dollars. I've seen a lot of them where they'd say that you can't lease stuff. You can only do contracts. But I don't think that's really fair.'cause a lot of that stuff's expensive. Like

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I can't even work out the fucking map at the moment, so.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Hoover. Hoover, I'll give you a little tip. I was listening to the podcast, both when I was editing it and when I was listening to it back to, you know, fine tune myself and you said quote, I walked. I thought this field was very close, so I started walking to it, then realized I went in the wrong direction. So I went back and got me tractor and drove there, and then I forgot that I didn't lease the shit. Right. That's what you said last week, Hoover. If you go into the map and you put the little cursor over the field number and you push in your right analog stick, it'll come up view, and you can transport there instantly,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well, that'd be fucking easy, wouldn't it?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

heaps easier. You can go check out what you need. Well, ultimately you didn't lease the gear to do the job.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No one of them. I did lease it, but I had to go pick it up at the store and I didn't know where the store

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Mm. Yeah. Also, I think what you're having trouble is when you say you are using the map, are you like clicking it and have a look to see whether you're going the right way or are you using the one little one down in the corner?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, no, no. I click on it.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Do you open it up

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. Yeah. I open it up, I look

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

to full size?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. And then I just go, righto, I've gotta go this way. And then I start going that way, and then I just get all the way there and I'm like, where the fuck's this number at? Then I go back into the map and I'm like, yeah, I'm going the wrong way.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh no. Don't do that. So if you hold down the L one button and click the left analog stick, it'll open up the map in the corner bigger. And then if you click the left analog stick again while holding L one, it opens up the full map on the screen while you're walking, so you can watch where you're walking.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. It doesn't make it easier. I think it's too, when I, when I go into the map, if I'm driving, when I go into the map, the tractor keeps going. It doesn't stop. It

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, it doesn't.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Mine keeps driving.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

stay outta the water.'cause when the tractor goes in the water, it breaks.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Don't. Yeah, exactly. You had to buy a whole new trailer and everything. That was actually quite funny. You went,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

from zero

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

was you doing? You was, you was, yeah. But the other,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

tanks up

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the other,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and, um,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

fill up my greenhouses.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, the other, um, the other idea that I come up with or we come up with me and Zach was to start at a hundred thousand the other day rather than zero.'cause that gives you, everyone's got the same amount of money. You go onto the map, you buy the property that you want, or you do with the money what you want. Whether you go just buy farm and equipment so you can go do contracts. Buy property, start setting up greenhouses and you know, do it that way. And we kind of thought that'd probably be an easier way for you to do it, Hoover. Because the reason I wasn't making fun either that you didn't know the buttons.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yes,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

was literally, I was literally trying to help.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

out over the weekend, Hoover

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm, no, I'm just pointing out that there is a big gap between us and you. And you don't play games near as much as we do.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm gonna poison your field.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't think you can.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

steal your 10.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh fuck. So, oh, steal me tent some dickhead bought a freaking, what'd you buy? Caravan for a hundred grand and then sold it for how much?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

it for 55 and sold it for 24. It was in my way. It

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Give

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

when I first started, and then I didn't need

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't know. What are you doing this week, Hoover? You running away again or,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Um, I'm working on Saturday

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah. Or you

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I what

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

The current fuel crisis. It's probably best you go to work.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

does it cost you fuel?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like at what point is it gonna get cheaper to stay home than put fuel in your car?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Fucking last week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Like is it gonna be work? Like going to work costs you money?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yes.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It's three 20 up. It costs me money every day.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. It's$3 10 down here at the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Do you know? Do you know what? Do you know what we're gonna end up with? Remember how like back in the day you buy a phone and you pay for minutes and then you, and then they're like, oh, we'll give you free text messages after a certain time. And then it went to this and then that, and now you pretty much just pay a subscription to Telstra. We're gonna end up having fuel subscriptions. You're gonna have to subscribe to bp. Then they give you so much fuel for the week.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, I think they were talking about odds and evens numbers on your number plate.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What if you got both?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, it goes off the last number on your number plate.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What if I just

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm a, I'm an even.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

lot people wouldn't just go and get other number plates and put on there to, so they have one that's a two and one that's a one at the end. And some number plates don't have numbers.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, but it's a fucking world. That's their fucking fault. They can't drive the car at all.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

What if they do the last number on your bin or something? They'd find a way around it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

a lot of people won't, won't know where their VIN number is.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think that we're coming up to, we're gonna have to go in and pay for fuel before you can pump it, because people are just gonna be doing runners.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Oh yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

So, yeah. That's what it does at Costco. You put your card number in there, how much you wanna put in there, and if you go past the number that you put in there, it just refunds it back to your card. So

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I think that that'll be the way that it'll go.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

how it is out at Wewa as well. of the surveys out there. You go

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

There's AVO or Wewa.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

there's

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm not,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

of them. Your

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I'm joking. I know there's a town of Wewa. Great, great. Jamie Line comes from there. So,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

there's two surveys.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

yeah, I know

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You don't.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

we went to the pub there and got fucking mixed grills.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

That wasn't the survey though, was it?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No. Was it? I don't know. Probably could be.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You don't even know what you're talking Can't

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Your tips for this week?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um, I need to know what yours are first. Ho. Hey, what'd you say Zach?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I said tips are the bets.'cause my tips are roosters, bars, fins, dogs, rifts, or,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No. Do the bets. Bets

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

and tell me what to do. You know Me a real dad.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Ho

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Mm-hmm.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

what are yours?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You got super

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

super Cage, uh, soup. Yeah. and Collingwood in

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Collingwood. And who's Collingwood playing?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

The other team, GWS I'm pretty sure.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Do you know why I keep asking who they're playing?'cause I also have a FL teams, an A FL team in my bets and. I swear one day we're gonna have bets where we're conflicting because we're bet for the opposite team.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

fucking Zach's already done it to me where I had, where Zach ti one, and then I had the opposite team. And

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

And you had to change it.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

me. So Yeah. So I've had to change it

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

That's what I mean.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

you know who I changed to both times? them?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Both times you lost

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Are they still in relegation?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well they

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

not

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

they they got beat by a fucking, what's the other team that fucking, the old

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

then narrows it down.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Wasn't liver Liverpool

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

It Northwich,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

what's the coach that got sacked by both of them?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Nottingham

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah. Ang.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah, but don't, don't, don't stress about that because Nottingham beat, um, city a few weeks back, so it's all right. It's okay to lose them.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Liverpool lost to Burnley badly.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

It little full of shit.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Next question.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

city proved a point though.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

They, they beat Arsenal this morning, two nil

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

in the Carrabba Cup. So that's just a taste of what's to come for Arsenal.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh, um, my bets this week'cause I didn't actually get my bets on the podcast. If anyone wa listened through to the end and we just kind of suddenly stopped. Zach dropped out

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I did not.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and we decided not to say goodbye. Zach decided not to say goodbye. I might add. Me and Hoover were there ready to go. And Hoover's like, and Zach's go, we're not doing it. So, yeah.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

guess what? That's because you cut out my haru every week.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I don't cut out you. So every week,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

to

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

week, every week we go through do our talks on the podcast. It sounds like we're very fluent. We've, we talk nicely, we talk at a nice speed. We don't sit here and um, and are, and fucking sit there and have great big pauses for no reason where, Hoover gets up and goes and has a smoke or something

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I had a piss.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

and then, right. So I put into the AI algorithm for the editing tool that I use, minimize word gaps to two and a half seconds so that there's not big 32nd pauses where nobody's talking.'cause we do it every week. That's why I put that in there. Then when we get to the,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I talk really fast and it goes like this, and then what is it gonna do then?

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

we'll find out this week, I suppose. But because that goes in and because he talks real fast and sounds like fucking, Scooby-Doo when he does it,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

I do not.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

it cuts it out'cause it doesn't recognize it as a word. So that's why Zach Guru got cut out every week. So

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Jonathan just doesn't appreciate the fact

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

nah,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

that I'm a better bloke than him.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

nah. Um, my, my sure bets for this week are,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

They're not sure. You are fucking useless.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I was the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

uh,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

got one.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

ever.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I was the only one that got one right. Last week.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, you weren't. I've got mine. Right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

oh, I got both mine wrong.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, I was

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Um,

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

that got one. Right.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

what's that?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Mel Melbourne lost

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

they?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

A FL. Yeah, they got beat. They got done.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, we might have to. We might have to change from Sportsbet too. They robbed me the other day. I came up with a notification, pick a horse in the golden slipper and if your horse runs second, we'll pay it out as a winner. So I went and put frigging, I know the horse that runs second, I went and put frigging 10 bucks on it to win it. It comes second. Nothing. I activated it and everything

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

you can't put it on a after the race is done.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I didn't I put on before. So

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

backed sa second place as well. Did you Hoover?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No, I backed three first and then two fifths on the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I, I've done the actual golden slipper. Um, yeah, I,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah. And I backed second place

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

anyway, my sure bets this week that hopefully come first and not second is I've got, um, poured Adelaide to win their game in the a FL and the New Zealand warriors to win their game against the Tigers.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

can't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Why

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

because you should asked me what my,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

every week? Normally. Normally it's whoever gets in first. Whoever gets in first. We text each other what our bets are, and then the other person goes, oh shit, I've gotta do'em. And then they text him so that we can guarantee our teams and then whoever's last, and that's the struggle to find something that they want to do. But this week I was back at work and I have not had time today to have a look at it. I had a look at it while we've been recording it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

yeah, well you're gonna have to change yours

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Which one?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

because I've had mine all day. Both Port Adelaide the was,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

You are joking.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

nah, not really. I took the

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I just crossed it out. This is like when we started and you said, we've got video going. And I went and got out and tried fucking around. Couldn't figure out how to fix it. Come back and you was laughing your head off.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Uh, dogs. 13 plus.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Dogs bulldogs. Not a FL Dogs,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Nah, only you are the fucking silly fucker that does that. And other one was the, was

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

the Warriors. Yeah. No, I, I can, I can You want Warriors 13 plus?

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Mm-hmm.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Well, you can always do Warriors to win as well.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No. I'll let him have it. I'll just find another one.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

and a Warriors.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

No, well, I'll, I'll just go, um, I'll go storm 18 plus over the Cowboys.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

You can only go 13 plus or one to 12. So you are not a real smart.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Uh, storm 13 plus then do you, do you want a 13 plus on one of yours too, or?

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

No,

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

Don't just pick 13 plus because I did.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

I'm

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

do you have to copy me? This is because me and Hoover carry the podcast, isn't

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh, no, I only did it because the storm played the Cowboys. That's the only reason. No other reason it wasn't'cause you did it.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

you? Yeah, you did.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

I just want to, I just, if we go through and we win it, if this was our first bet, I can always remind you that, remember when I put that bet on that the storm would beat the Cowboys 13 plus and you won money from it, from the Cowboys winning, losing.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

so, but it won't be because the nights are gonna get flogged by the dogs. 13

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108

Oh no, I know that. They're, I I've already accepted that. I'm, I'm already looking at, um, I'm already looking at like six weeks from now, like, when's Ponga come comeback. So, so yeah, no, I'm, I'm already, I'm looking forward to the buy to be fair. Like we play the war, the Raiders next week, so, and then. There'll be another one. I probably won't be picking the ninth unless they run out their reserve road, and then we play the tigers the week after. Who I could probably get around just beaten, because that's when Brown's back.

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105

leave session.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105

Yeah,

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108
