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.

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, 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

the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108order.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105attendant.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'm not a steering wheel attendant. I.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Big steering wheel attendant
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I show up.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105warmer.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105seat
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You've been a bench warmer all your life.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, I haven't. I won you a grand final fuck off.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You did not win me a grand final.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I was there when we won.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108enough.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105win it. For me,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I did because I, Dr. I broke old mate's nose and sent him to the blood bin.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105my tactical brilliance as a coach.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108was that the game wasn't Uber.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I dunno, I can't
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105looking at you thinking what the fuck's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105bloke?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105he hit, did he hit him with your head?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Naomi shoulder square in his nose. I busted his note. He went to the blood nin
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108in a game of soccer.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105it'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_201108That was, that was one time, and
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I shouldn't have been there.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It 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_201105Please do.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108you know, an orange peeler that had cut me finger off.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105do
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Uh,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105just do it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108anyway,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Although,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108got that little bit outta the way.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105big enough for all those gray hairs,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I can shave my head.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105yes, that would be a, an improvement
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108they'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_201105Is that you?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, I am more of a
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105wouldn't be
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108long 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_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108He 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_201105Hey, this is the vintage.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, I know. It's not really, but yeah. I didn't like those ones.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105this is the nineties. This jumper.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105This is when, this is when Stacey Jones was running in this Ivan
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105is.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105played in one of these.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108no.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I I'm gonna Google.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105you'll see.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105that's.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the Vodafone
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. I still think,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the line bidder.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105I can't see. I know it's an Excel.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108All 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_201105It doesn't say, it just says Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it's from Best in Less. S
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, no. It's an actual jersey. This is
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108joking.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Zealand. This one
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So it wasn't the best
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I got one of
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108New Zealand warriors
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108start
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105warriors were
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105it's got the Telstra Premiership on it. That's how old it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Silver and Black Street.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105a photo of your head.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It 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_201105You are wrong.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108for one year?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105You're
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you said two.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, I said 2002.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You said
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Hey, 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_201108yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105AS score and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108you got it.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105score as well.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So you're betting outside of your fucking thing.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105It was a little side bet. I thought,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I've found the exact jersey and it says 2003.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105well, you are wrong.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So 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_201105pretty much just, just give everyone the six points straight away. All get rid of it all together.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, 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_201105it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105At the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108but
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105the season, everyone
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105You're winning though, aren't you? You're still winning.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You are not because you're not playing. You're not, you're not.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105the buyer.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, you're not. It's dumb. No, it's dumb. It is so dumb, so dumb.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it does not affect anything.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105know you can say no because I know it doesn't affect anything.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it's so pointless.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Uh, no, it's not. You get two points.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It's like put,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105pointless.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it'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_201105Sometimes you can,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, that's right. Do you even math.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You know what I mean? What is math got to do with it? Fucking hell.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah. China.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Ugh. 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_201105A game haven't.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108But 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_201105and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108well, 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_201105mm.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So, 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_201105do 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_201108when, 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_201105thoughts, because
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the 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_201105Nah, they won't.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105because they'll, there'll be more games, which is, yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108But 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_201105doesn't.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the 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_201108I 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_201105yeah, well,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105They'll,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105o'clock. That's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. 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_201105they'll play at that time. be over there.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105well, 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_201108Yeah, 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_201105but 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_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I think it'll be super Saturday, super Sunday. I don't think
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it'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_201105Two teams in New Zealand?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You 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_201105Well, 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_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105It'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_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105could, 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_201108That's your big call is they're gonna kick Aaron, Matt, out of the comp.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, I don't know.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108We want listeners dickhead. Zach,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, because one of my mates, he's a good, he's a mad Paramatta supporter and one
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105He's a weird fucker. Then
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105and 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_201108let's go.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, 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_201108What was the sign going? Warriors or something?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, let's go. And Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Let'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_201105I reckon by the end of the year they're gonna announce midyear internationals again.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108you reckon?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yep.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105can see it coming back. They're gonna have, as, as the world game grows, they're
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108grows.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I think it will. This whole Vegas thing's slowly taken off.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105but
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108they 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_201105That's never
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No. Oh,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105talking about that. International games growing and they want more internationals,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. Well, he wants to do the global round.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105we're gonna see. Tonga and Samoa start playing international throughout the year
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105we're gonna see the Anzac test come back
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. I wouldn't mind sending,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105gonna 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_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105they'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_201108Yeah. All right. Well, the next.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105due 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_201108You reckon?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. Make a full week, fortnight, month,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105was gonna say, gonna need more than a week?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105full month of it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Business expense.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108see 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_201105You didn't even wanna spend the money to drive to Newcastle
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Me because, yeah,'cause fuel's fucking expensive.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105He wasn't
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Like
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105about the, he did not be down there
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108who? Like that's said, there's money in oil. She's know there's money in oil
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108and it started just digging in the backyard. Probably hit a sewer pipe and got fuck found oil
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105a shit.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108bes 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_201105No, I don't reckon they played five and six.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I, I think the top six.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I reckon they played one and two.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I think that top, oh yeah, they could do that. That would make sense. Gives an advantage, but
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105because your, your top teams get the buy
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105straight
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. 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_201105I'd, I'd
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I don't think they do.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the through.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You don't
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105your team play through.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105the buy
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105no one and two get the buy.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. One of,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Three
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105say
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105to 10. through to 10 play.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, but nine and nine and 10 are gonna be the teams that are the actual wild card.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. Well, that's
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, that's right. They've got.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105other, so nine and 10 play each other
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105then.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108But 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_201105Yeah, but
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108not.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the 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_201108Yeah, 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_201105or learn to tackle.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108And 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_201105No, it's his light in the background.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, it's coming up. Network's struggling anyway.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105not
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Anyway, 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_201105Yeah, that
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Like, 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_201105yeah. They see, they might not be,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105On the.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105They may not even change it. It's, they, it may just be top eight.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It's too little of a thing to actually run the finals off.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105but it's gonna make teams want to be better.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, but if I'm looking from an NRL
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105only gotta win half a games to get into the top 10
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105just 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_201108Yeah. But if I'm looking at it,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105better.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108if 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_201105I don't think they're gonna change the date.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Well, I think,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105gonna be on the long weekend and it's gonna stay there,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105when they finish. The grand Final will
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. But they'll shorten the season up. So we'll probably be starting now.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105bring, which is what I said.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105bring internationals in.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105We'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_201108yeah, I think there's a whole rugby league's. Very,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105want fucking Australia and New Zealand to bash each other on Anzac Day.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108you want that? Send us a message. What would you rather see? Would you rather see the traditional?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Fisher Harris wants that and he is a fucking purebred Kiwi and he can't
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, but
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105back.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108so 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_201105It doesn't matter.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108uh, I think it does,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105club games that week.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108but that's what I'm trying to say. Rugby league,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105test
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108rugby League leans heavily on traditional shit and you go change that traditional shit.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it's tradition to play the Anzac fucking test.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well see the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It's not,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105this year
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It is.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Day
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. They're swapping and changing with those two,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105test
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the only traditional ones, the Roosters and Dragon One
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Roosters. Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105play Thursday night football the following round.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108But 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_201105Will you put New Zealand versus Australia? The SCG?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, I know. I, I understand. Where is it coming from?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105that would be a really good bank.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105On Anzac.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I, 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_201105don'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_201108Well, 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_201105night suck.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Nights didn't suck.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105no. We suck again. Mm-hmm.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105He is back, baby. He's fucking back.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So Metcalf's coming back in
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105has been named as number six.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108with 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_201105See, the thing is, but they've dropped, they've,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105from the inside,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108and
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105below the hip knees going again.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105well, the thing is they have named Chanel on the bench as
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Well, 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_201105they dropped to a picky, they did drop to a picky
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108see, I'd leave to a peaky there and move Charles to a, to a fucking center or something.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well see Pompey's back.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105he, he only missed last week because the birth of his child.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108They, they just, they um, they're very signed to Peaky though, haven't they? Last week.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, yeah. He's, he's, I think he's on until the end of 28 or 29.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105boys, 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_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105They've, they've signed'em on big time.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. And I'm pretty sure Cox's Dad's deals over the end of this year.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105We'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_201108Barnett.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105no Barnett Barnett's gone, but there's talk that they might be getting Grant Anderson
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Brisbane, 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_201108Well, 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_201105I, I hope he stays at the Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I hope he stays at the Warriors too, but he is also done a lot for that club.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the 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_201108Yeah, no,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105cannot bench him. He's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108no, that,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105good.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108that'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_201105Clarksdale is a really good player. Like
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, he
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105he had
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108is, he is.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105his, 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_201108Yeah,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105wanted to come back from there. So yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. But to Peaky, I've worked out why.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105good headache to have.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105good headache to
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. 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_201105and I mean absolutely fucking nobody. Is anyone like the mango?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108There's any news that
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Reese Wesa. Yeah. Reese
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108with, I,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105reckon.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108worked with Rece weer.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105uh. You showed up and stole the wage. He happened to be on the same job site.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105anyone could be as Matt Bowen. I reckon Reese weer
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105the man, the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105is in a league of his own.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So I wanna find out what a New Zealand version of a mango is. Is it a kiwi fruit?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105bird. You're spastic.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108What? Be a kiwi fruit? Do they come from New Zealand?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105No,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105Hey, I've, I've actually thought about flying over there for a game
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'm coming.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105speed,'cause the Speedway season also starts like very shortly
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you can't afford fuel to go to Newcastle Cunt.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105know. Well at the moment I'm close to it.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I'm talking about this fucking Muppet. Oh, I'm coming.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. Jump on the Coltrane and fucking write it down.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Eh. Might be worth, I've got a passport. I don't have to pay for a passport, so
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Oh
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'm allowed outta the country somehow.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You are allowed the country, but you're not allowed near schools.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. 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_201105in round one though, did it?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the only team that is capitalizing on the six again, rule
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Warriors the other night.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105is 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_201108I 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_201105saying thank you.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it'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_201105You know how you get your six agains hooker
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105because 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_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you what?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105it. Wade Egan's doing
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Speak. Speaking of hookers, I wouldn't be
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108What sort of hook
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Well,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108bro, ones.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105of rakes, I wouldn't be too surprised if
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So the hook is in rakes.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105is moved on.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Who's
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I don't mind that young hooker coming off the bench.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Um, what's his name?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Um,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Uh.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105he come on for eagan on the weekend and I
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105was watching him.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105been doing that for the last season and a half now.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Egan's only been since Eagan. He's hurt his, he hurt his elbow there
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. 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_201105Oh, see
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105He'd be a good nine to
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105last year?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105pick up.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105that, well, last year they were saying that Eagan should be New South Wales. Number nine.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Uh, I think Bray's got a, got him covered.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105The
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105he'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_201108No, 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_201105Um.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105football. Really.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You 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_201105I wasn't fucking, like I said, I was outta service. I was outta block.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108How,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well, we left home, I think it was like one o'clock ish
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108how can you afford the fuel?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105and then didn't get home until, I think it was 1130
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. No, it's all, it's all good.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108He's gave me the promise of playing farm and simulator. You didn't show up.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I was doing real life farming simulator out there.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, I offered a tractor.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, 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_201108Oh. 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_201105Oh, yes.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108They come outta the woodwork and they carry on. And it's like you've won one game, dude.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105so
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Won the,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the 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_201108he probably does.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105And I'm like, fuck off mate. I said, they won one game. He goes, yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105They get beat this weekend by the dolphins. You pain houses out
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I, I could name, I could name three teams that are playing better than the Broncos right now.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105The Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Warriors is Panthers,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108and Raiders.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105That's four. Can you count?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. I wouldn't say
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105No.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Raiders. Haven't the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Nah. 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_201105better than the Broncos right now.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108are.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Then in the same sentence he said,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Also said that I could name three teams and I named four.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, you're drunk.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, 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_201105Um, 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_201108yeah. 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_201105it did.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So 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_201105Like I said, um, they got the Dolphins this week, battle of Suncorp,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and I think Dolphins, the way they played against the Sharks the other night,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I think the Dolphins could, could beat them.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. I think
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Herbie's in
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108IQ 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_201105there was already,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105last year.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105there 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_201108you reckon?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105he, he misses out on a lot of
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Accolade? Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105because of who's in front of him. Like,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105was stuck behind Thurston and Cronk for so long. was up there and probably deserved a shot.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105And Ka could be very much the same with Cleary Lui. Moses,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105he, 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_201108Uh.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105right. Depending on who you pick, if Latrell gets picked at left center for New South Wales,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you could play Cody at six.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You got strange.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, you got strange in there as well. I think that's the future though. And qa ka,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105there's,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105next seven and six.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Cleary's still got a fair bit of time left, I think.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Oh 27?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, something like that. Around, about there. Um,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105alright,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105at too is with Nathan is fucking, what's his future look like? Or like,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105right. Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105outside of Rugby League look like with Mary?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105If 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_201105come back to the Warriors. Ivan Cleary goes assistant coach to and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108That was Viagra.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105And
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108That was Viagra.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108He's playing with it now.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Jet. They bring in
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. Yeah. Right. That's not happening. Well,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105but there's every, there's every chance that Nathan does walk away. He's then won everything.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, it,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105If he can, if he can even win a, Rugby League World Cup this year,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the 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_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108though.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105not,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108If he was to go to somewhere,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105team
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, 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_201105Well
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108And 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_201105I
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108gotta 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_201105Oh
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108in New Zealand
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it'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_201105Well, that's the thing. You gotta look at it this way. They sold out fucking two rounds
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the fucking NRL even kicked off.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105two games already sold out.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108And 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_201105Oh, fucking no.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108They'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_201105they, they weren't always as good as what they are, though.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, 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_201105no, but Japan's,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105number one?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Japan's out there
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I thought the US was in women's soccer.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105us is right up
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Massive.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105in the women's,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Brazil, England.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105But, 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_201108No.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it 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_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Um, and then we'll start to see how much depth
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108But they, those girls are setting the foundations for the ones that come behind them though, to improve it?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105they 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_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it'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_201108There'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_201105yeah, 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_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105so.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. 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_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108The 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_201105no, I, I don't have any more sports to really talk about.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I watched a little bit of the a FL. The sun seemed to be
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Oh,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108going all right.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I 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_201108I,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It doesn't excite me.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It freezes up.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105KO the moment. I was reading an article earlier, lot of
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105are
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I just,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it. The prices.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108that'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_201105actually most of the game of the a FL on the weekend,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Really?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Adelaide 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_201108Yeah.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105what the fuck they were doing, but um, yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, 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_201105Yeah. But if it, if it, um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Or even if it is the pa.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105if 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_201105No,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105figure out is
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Not if it bounces.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, it can bounce and go through the middle.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105they've got the oval for the outline. They can't fucking run around outside of it anyway.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh no. The ball's gotta stay within the line. It's the same as soccer.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, like fucking, I was watching
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108The line. So rugby,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105was running on the fucking fence there on the weekend
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108rugby league.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105to any sport.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Rugby 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_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108past the boundary. That's why they do that. Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105The soccer has to be whole ball. The ball can be on the line.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108AFL's the same.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105So,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108The whole ball
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and rugby league, you can run around outside.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108over. Yeah, that I know. You just can't touch the ball while you're out there.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You can't touch a ball in soccer or you are standing outside of the pitch as well.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh really? Oh yeah. Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105it as it's going and you can run out and then come back in.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Can you do that in afl? I dunno.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105So,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I don't know. I'm not that into it.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105uh,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108All right.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Can you get around it?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108uh,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105can not get around it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108can 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_201105um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108What are you around this week, Zach? We'll bring back right now
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105to win 13 plus this weekend.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the wires win 13 plus.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Dewey's. Dewey's been named. So Dewey not as
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105doesn't mean anything.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105everyone thought, but Lui
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105He's a hamstring little's, gone four weeks.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Well, 95% of tips on Super Coach has gone the way of the Warriors
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah. But see, the funny thing is the easy games that the Warrior should win, they fucking lose.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108until this year.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you what, the, that game, that's the battle of the hookers Eagan and,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and it, it'd be a good matchup for May against Fisher Harris.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yep. We'll
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It'll really see,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105coming off the bench as well,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105uh, um,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Barnett's still Barnett. You can't drop Jackson Ford at the moment for Barnett.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I don't think they do, knowing the Barnett wants out.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105That'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_201105I.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105team, then come to the Warriors as a bench player. And now is
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Leading the Ds.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105leading 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_201108All right. Well we've jumped the game ahead, but hey,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Did you get around him?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108get around the what, what.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Did you get around Jackson Ford?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Um, 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_201105Yes. They played last season together.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, did they? Okay.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Um, they play Friday, six o'clock. Told you it's a,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Who's

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108All 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_201105but they beat the buyer at four points.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108They didn't beat the buyer. They were given two points for no reason. You're full of shit.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Hmm. That's an interesting one. I'd like to take me in the wind. Um.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I can't, Robson played well last week. I think if DCE takes a little bit more
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105the

sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105um,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105watch. It'll be a fucking upset. Manly will come out and fucking annihilate him.

hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No,, I reckon probably eight points in it.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105see who else you got.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108mainly have been very average. The last two games they played,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I dunno. I think.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108they should have beat the Knights. They sh
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105gonna just fucking jam. DCE from the inside. And,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, maybe. I don't think so, but.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105but 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_201108I 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_201105Bradley's knocking on the door.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108he's, he's up there with Harry Grant, like
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Braley was good the other night. Um.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108New South Wales have come up, come off a loss though. So how many changes do you make? So,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I don't think the changes are in the spine. No.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108well,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Other than
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108does, does a
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105possibly
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Does a Braley serve a Moses in a Clery Better?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105no.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Um, 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_201105Um, drink water.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So we've all got roosters.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yep.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105Yep.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108They 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_201105Probably not. I'm gonna go to Dolphins.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Dolphins that,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I am on the fins. I said that before.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108oh, did you do it?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. I said the Fins will beat Broncos this week.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105No. 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_201108Um, 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_201105Well
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Fletch still hasn't come back. Really? He was named last week. But is he ready to go?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, 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_201108I don't, I don't mind gamble. He can fill a spot. He is
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Gamble's a 14 and he's no better than a 14.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108so 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_201105It shouldn't even be playing the wanker.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105are even a true supporter.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105Do, do you wanna ask the, the viewers what they reckon?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Does Hoover carry this podcast or are we dragging Zach behind us?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Please, please answer us Fiy.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. 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_201105impressed about the, the blog that introduces a podcast to start off with. Now we've got a
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, you do that now? Okay, fine. Fine. You can, you can do it. So, um, yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you fucking learned to edit properly, we wouldn't have half the drums. We do. I,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I, 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_201105me, it's you.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Stadium, 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_201105the other night?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. He'd learn
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Did you see Milky Jenkins on the other side?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So I,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105were putting 40 on him.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, yeah. Jenkins is playing well.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Parramatta is gonna have 50 put on him twice in the first five rounds. That's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I've already added Jenkins.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105confident
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105So
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So he was horrible at the Knights. I can't, I dunno what's happening.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105think Dominic Young's good?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108He'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_201105he
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108working on it.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105He didn't have the ball when he'd done that.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, he did.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108He 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_201105hate Parramatta.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Uh, we're supposed to be giving expert advice, not opinions on what we like and dislike anyway.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105my expert advice
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108All right. So give me your expert advice on Cowboy Storm.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105storm.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Storm.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Fuck 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_201105Cowboys can beat'em in Melbourne. They have,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I don't think they have.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105they, they have.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108The 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_201105Yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Raiders sharks at GIO Open the window and shatter a glass and cut your hand stadium. But
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105sharks are gonna fucking wanna bounce back after last week.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105Um, I can't remember actually. I think I took the Raiders,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I think it'll be the Raiders Hoover. You on the Sharks.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105shark,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I'm gonna,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105shark
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Sharks.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it's gonna be, it's gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a good game.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I'm gonna say sharks.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So 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_201105I'm leading in both tipping comps that I'm in.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, I I'm about the same in both I men. So,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105What happened is that the weekend,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Hey, what?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105to is that the weekend?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108half of them. So
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105you, you
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108he is
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105chirpy last week. You, you're at the bottom of your jonesie. You're fucking shit.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108get one point in front of him. Oh, you still at the bottom?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105one point behind you sitting in fourth.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105so he's, Jones's excuse was, he's forgot to put him in on the super cage.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, 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_201105I was gonna say the dragons as well.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105round, round, round six.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108they play the Knights
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, they play the Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108or Titans are a bogey team, aren't they? For the Warriors?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105They are a fucking buggy team for the Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. Everyone's on dragons.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Titans were very flat
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105night. They, um, they copped a few, six agains and
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Well, I,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105been the, the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I think that's what.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105opening few rounds, but
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, 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_201105not gonna dictate games
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105giveaway six Agains on fucking purpose.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Did you see that? That one that he put up on the podcast
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I've missed it.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I went back and actually watched a few highlights and Penrith giveaway, six on fucking purpose just to defend.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yes.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It gets their line set
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and they're able
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108that
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105as a full line.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108that'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_201105The
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105so.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105that he is been saying lately is fucking spot on by.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh 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_201105Oh yeah, yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108don'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_201105a bit of
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105A plow in the field.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I be, I've done a bit of speedway before. I went out at the farm
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah, I've been playing the online ones at the moment versus all the Americans.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105they're fucking good.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. 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_201105yeah,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108free,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I think it was, it was free there the other day, but I don't know Now I.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108uh, 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_201105I 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_201108So 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_201105Yeah. Do you know.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You was just really excited to play our fields?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Uh, 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_201108Yeah. Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and then, yeah, back to the farm.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Well, 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_201105Yes. But then sitting there yesterday evening
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You've got BMX Street in you.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I did not, I did jump on and have a game of FIFA or fc,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, fc. Do you reckon you could ever get used to calling it fc?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105nah, it's fifa.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Hmm. 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_201105I can't even work out the fucking map at the moment, so.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Hoover. 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_201105Well, that'd be fucking easy, wouldn't it?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108heaps 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_201105No 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_201108Mm. 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_201105No, no, no. I click on it.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Do you open it up
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. Yeah. I open it up, I look
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108to full size?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. 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_201108Oh 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_201105Yeah. 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_201105No, it doesn't.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Mine keeps driving.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105stay outta the water.'cause when the tractor goes in the water, it breaks.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Don'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_201105I
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105from zero
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108was you doing? You was, you was, yeah. But the other,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105tanks up
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the other,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and, um,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105fill up my greenhouses.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, 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_201105Yes,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108was literally, I was literally trying to help.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105out over the weekend, Hoover
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'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_201105I'm gonna poison your field.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I don't think you can.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105steal your 10.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh 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_201105it for 55 and sold it for 24. It was in my way. It
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Give
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105when I first started, and then I didn't need
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I don't know. What are you doing this week, Hoover? You running away again or,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Um, I'm working on Saturday
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah. Or you
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I what
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108The current fuel crisis. It's probably best you go to work.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105does it cost you fuel?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah, 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_201105Fucking last week.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Like is it gonna be work? Like going to work costs you money?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yes.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It's three 20 up. It costs me money every day.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. It's$3 10 down here at the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Do 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_201105No, I think they were talking about odds and evens numbers on your number plate.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108What if you got both?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, it goes off the last number on your number plate.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108What if I just
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I'm a, I'm an even.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108lot 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_201105No, 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_201108What if they do the last number on your bin or something? They'd find a way around it.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105a lot of people won't, won't know where their VIN number is.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105Oh yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108So, 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_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I think that that'll be the way that it'll go.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105how it is out at Wewa as well. of the surveys out there. You go
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108There's AVO or Wewa.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105there's
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'm not,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105of them. Your
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I'm joking. I know there's a town of Wewa. Great, great. Jamie Line comes from there. So,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105there's two surveys.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108yeah, I know
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You don't.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108we went to the pub there and got fucking mixed grills.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105That wasn't the survey though, was it?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No. Was it? I don't know. Probably could be.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You don't even know what you're talking Can't
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Your tips for this week?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Um, I need to know what yours are first. Ho. Hey, what'd you say Zach?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105I said tips are the bets.'cause my tips are roosters, bars, fins, dogs, rifts, or,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No. Do the bets. Bets
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105and tell me what to do. You know Me a real dad.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Ho
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Mm-hmm.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108what are yours?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Uh,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You got super
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105super Cage, uh, soup. Yeah. and Collingwood in
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Collingwood. And who's Collingwood playing?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105The other team, GWS I'm pretty sure.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Do 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_201105fucking 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_201108And you had to change it.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105me. So Yeah. So I've had to change it
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108That's what I mean.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105you know who I changed to both times? them?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Both times you lost
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Are they still in relegation?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well they
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105not
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105they they got beat by a fucking, what's the other team that fucking, the old
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105then narrows it down.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Wasn't liver Liverpool
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No. What is it? Norfolk or whatever it is.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108or, um, north Northwich.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108It Northwich,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105what's the coach that got sacked by both of them?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108uh, um, Anang.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Nottingham
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105yeah. Yeah.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah. Ang.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah, 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_201108Liverpool lost to Burnley badly.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105It little full of shit.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Next question.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105city proved a point though.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105They, they beat Arsenal this morning, two nil
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Yeah.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105in the Carrabba Cup. So that's just a taste of what's to come for Arsenal.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Uh, 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_201105I did not.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108and 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_201105guess what? That's because you cut out my haru every week.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I don't cut out you. So every week,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105to
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108week, 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_201105I had a piss.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108and 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_201105I talk really fast and it goes like this, and then what is it gonna do then?
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108we'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_201105I do not.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108it 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_201105Jonathan just doesn't appreciate the fact
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108nah,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105that I'm a better bloke than him.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108nah. Um, my, my sure bets for this week are,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105They're not sure. You are fucking useless.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I was the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108uh,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105got one.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105ever.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I was the only one that got one right. Last week.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105No, you weren't. I've got mine. Right.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108oh, I got both mine wrong.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, I was
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Um,
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105that got one. Right.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108what's that?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Mel Melbourne lost
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105they?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105A FL. Yeah, they got beat. They got done.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, 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_201105you can't put it on a after the race is done.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I didn't I put on before. So
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105backed sa second place as well. Did you Hoover?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No, I backed three first and then two fifths on the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I, I've done the actual golden slipper. Um, yeah, I,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Yeah. And I backed second place
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108anyway, 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_201105can't
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Why
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105because you should asked me what my,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108every 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_201105yeah, well you're gonna have to change yours
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Which one?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105because I've had mine all day. Both Port Adelaide the was,
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108You are joking.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105nah, not really. I took the
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105Uh, dogs. 13 plus.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Dogs bulldogs. Not a FL Dogs,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Nah, only you are the fucking silly fucker that does that. And other one was the, was
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108the Warriors. Yeah. No, I, I can, I can You want Warriors 13 plus?
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Mm-hmm.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105Well, you can always do Warriors to win as well.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No. I'll let him have it. I'll just find another one.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105and a Warriors.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108No, well, I'll, I'll just go, um, I'll go storm 18 plus over the Cowboys.
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105You can only go 13 plus or one to 12. So you are not a real smart.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Uh, storm 13 plus then do you, do you want a 13 plus on one of yours too, or?
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105No,
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105Don't just pick 13 plus because I did.
hoover_1_03-24-2026_201105I'm
sonic-host86_1_03-24-2026_201105do you have to copy me? This is because me and Hoover carry the podcast, isn't
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh, 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_201105you? Yeah, you did.
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108I 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_201105so, but it won't be because the nights are gonna get flogged by the dogs. 13
the-incoherent-podcast_1_03-24-2026_201108Oh 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_201105leave session.
