Beyond The Sidelines

This week Angus travelled to Everton Park to interview former top-grade rugby league referee and now Liberal National Party (LNP) politician, Tim Mander. Tim had plenty to say about his career as a referee, where he officiated both the 2004 and 2005 grand finals. Tim also gave his opinion on the new NRL rule changes and the importance of community sport amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Let us know your opinions in the comments!

A story that's been dominating the headlines this week is the possibility of an exhibition game of hybrid rugby between the Australian Kangaroos and the New Zealand All Blacks! This week, Campbell played the role of mediator as he kept the passionate arguments of both Gus and Finn to a friendly exchange. How would a hybrid game even work?

Do you think Australian sports could benefit from a draft? Who would be the number one pick in the NRL draft? This week, the full contingent of armchair experts were joined by the glorious orange walls of the UQ radio studio, as we debated the idea of a Draft in Aussie sports.

What's a new rule your favourite sport could implement to spice things up? This week, we outlined some of the innovative new ways the NRL has adapted the rules and implemented new ones to satisfy the demands of the fans and grow the game. We thought we'd give our takes on these changes and have a punt of what some of our other favourite codes could do to spice things up a little. Should the AFL bring back the NAB cup 10-point Supergoals? Does Rugby AU need to rethink their whole strategy? You'll just have to listen to find out! If you haven't followed us yet........

It's been a while since we've posted one of these but we thought it was a fitting time to do so. With the NFL draft kicking off on Friday morning, we thought we'd outline who we think will be the top 10 draft picks and why. Of course, the NFL draft always provides it's fair share of surprises but we thought we'd give it our best shot! Let us know who you want your team to take.

Hope you're staying safe and healthy Faithful - this week we're bringing you our 35th episode to help you get through isolation. No footy this week, and probably not for a while yet, but that doesn't mean we can't chat about it. With us 3 being nothing more than a collection of armchair experts, we thought we'd have a chat with a BIG name (literally). Standing at 211cm, Mason Cox is the tallest player currently playing in the AFL. He's also the only American, and has quickly risen to fan favourite status during his years at Collingwood. Was a good laugh with one of the nicest athletes you'll ever hear from, so go on, cure your boredom and give this a listen! Better yet, jump on a Zoom call with you mates and listen to it together (but on different platforms because come on, we need to get those listens up. What? Can you blame me? Don't look at me like that. Just do us a solid, thanks). If you haven't already, make sure you check us out on social media. We're just shy of 2k followers on Insta so why not help us get there? The lucky 2000th has full bragging rights: https://www.instagram.com/_beyondthesidelines_/ https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheSidelines Special thanks to Big Dogg and MyClubTap for their continued support. Also of course, thanks to Mason Cox for joining us.

It's been a crazy week so far Beyond the Sidelines of the sporting field so hope you're staying safe and healthy Faithful. It definitely puts sport into perspective but hopefully we can bring a smile to your face with the newest episode. With so much sport being called off, we'd forgive you for thinking that there wouldn't be an episode this week. So, we had to step up our game. Enter Jeff Horn. We all know his story: the former school teacher turned national hero after defeating legend Manny Pacquiao in the Battle of Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium. More recently, he's coming off a disappointing loss and then gutsy win in 2 bouts against Australian Michael Zerafa. Horn's next date is set against Tim Tszyu. Well, it was a few days ago. Unfortunately the heavily anticipated bout in Townsville has been postponed due to COVID-19, but it will go ahead! It's just a matter of when. It's a critical fight for both fighters, with the winner set to earn a World Title Fight in the U-S of A. Also spoke about everything else Jeff Horn, so treat yourself - give it a listen and tell some mates. A true Aussie icon.

Fresh off the back of Gussy's quest for bog roll and a healthy breakfast at the Rockhampton Woolies, the boys sat down with the Brisbane Lions and AFL superstar small forward Linc McCarthy! A man used to a bit of altitude sickness at this point, he must like the view up there. He even features in our intro theme! We spoke to Linc about all things footy ahead of the 2020 AFL season, and how he thinks the Brisbane Lions will fare. We even had a chat about a funny old story of him rocking up late to pre-season training after a fresh trim and a handful of chicken and avo but you'll have to listen to get the full story.

In this episode of Extra Time, it's League vs Union as Angus and Finn go head to head to debate the recent rumours surrounding Kalyn Ponga! Recent reports are suggesting that the Newcastle Knights are looking to extend Ponga's contract through to 2023 - but with a clause that would allow him to walk away from league, and follow his dream to play for the All Blacks at the next Rugby World Cup in France. Should he go? Would he make it? Are the Broncos his best option? We discussed all this and more, but let us know your opinions!

On this episode of Extra Time, Finn and CJ are in the studio to preview what could be the fight of this century! Well, so far at least. With what could be the most anticipated fight of the last 20 years, we thought it would be good to give people a little rundown on the fight for those who are new to the sport and those who maybe have a little bit of experience.

Have you ever wondered what a national second division football competition would look like in Australia? A B-league if you will. Have you ever wondered what the logistics of that might be? How could this work? This week on Extra Time, Finn and CJ are in the studio to discuss just how this competition could work!

This week the lads will be joined by Brisbane Lions AFLW captain, Emma Zielke. We discussed her Aussie Rules career from playing with the University of Queensland and Coorparoo in the QWAFL to making her debut in the AFLW as the Brisbane Lions inaugural captain. She now has 25 appearances in the AFLW - quite the achievement considering the length of each season and it only being the leagues 4th season!

Rugby Australia have had another week to forget, but what might this mean for the code in Australia going forward? Join Finn and Campbell for this new episode of Extra Time as they discussed the week that was, and what it might mean for Australian rugby in both the long and short term. To begin with, Rugby Australia have allegedly knocked back a broadcast renewal offer from Foxtel - putting 25-years of partnership into strife! Optus are apparently the front-runners for a takeover, but answer me this: would you pay $10-15 a month to stream the 15-man game? Probably not right? We also spoke about the reports out of the UK that have suggested that World Champions South Africa are set to join the 6 Nations as of 2024! Can the Rugby Championship remain without one of its biggest teams? If not, what are the alternatives? We have some theories, but we'd love to hear yours so let us know! Make sure you tell 2 friends too. Trust me, they'll love it - not biased or anything.

This week we are joined by Olyroos superstar Alex Gersbach. He discusses the recent AFC U-23 Championships, and Australia’s qualification into the Olympic Games - the first Australian men's football team to qualify for the Olympics since 2008.

NFL really took off Down Under a few years ago when the Hayne Plane left Australia and landed in San Francisco. Since, we've seen Jordan Mailata sign for the then Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles, and State of Origin star Valentine Holmes get so close to making the final roster with the New York Jets. Matt Leo is no different. He grew up playing amateur Rugby in Adelaide, but moved over to the States to pursue this dream from the college level. Like Mailata and Holmes, Leo was selected for the NFL International Player Pathway Program late last week - getting one step closer to making it. In a matter of months, Leo will likely be drafted or signed in Free Agency by any of the 32 NFL franchises. The former plumber was honestly one of our best guests so far! Respectful, humble, determined - tune in to hear from Australia's next big NFL star! Also this week, we spoke about Latrell Mitchell's contract saga coming to an end - the former Rooster ending months of speculation to sign with rivals South Sydney. Melbourne Victory also sacked their coach Marco Kurz - right more or a recipe for disaster? And of course plenty of other sport including the A-League, Bulls Masters, ABL and BBL. Tune in and why not tell your mates? Go on. Live dangerously.

This week on Extra Time, Campbell went solo! Even though he was solo as a host, he was joined by the hard-hitting contributor for the Auckland Tuatara - Andrew "Pinky" Marck! Andrew is currently has a batting average of .360 and is having an extraordinary season at the plate in general with a .417 on-base Percentage but what makes this even more remarkable is that he used to be a pitcher. Andrew spent two seasons with the Brisbane Bandits as a reliever in 2011 and 2012 before heading back to his home country of New Zealand. Finally, when New Zealand got a professional baseball franchise, "Pinky" made a drastic change to become an outfield player and transform his batting. We think it worked wonders! But without any further ado, hear everything he had to say!

The Brisbane Grammar School old boy was recently rewarded for his hard work with a 2-year contract extension with the @nqcowboys .

We've released another episode of Extra Time and this time Campbell and Gussy are chatting about all the athletes and sporting teams helping out those doing it tough in the Bushfires running rampant across Australia. With Nick Kygrios kicking off the appeals to Chris Lynn continuing it - we spoke about how our athletes are uniting the nation.

Happy New Year to the Beyond the Sidelines faithful! We're kicking 2020 off with a bang, as we sat down with Pavel 'The Bodyguard' Florin, a Romanian cricketer who quickly rose to fame after his unorthodox bowling style made its way around social media. But for all the talk about his bowling action, you won't find anyone who loves cricket more than Pavel - don't believe us? Well you'll have to listen to the interview to know for sure. Pavel's story goes well beyond what goes on out in the middle. After stumbling upon cricket, Pavel soon personified what the spirit of the game really is. After playing in the European Cricket League, he had to overcome visa issues to come to Australia, after being invited to play for the Surrey Hills Cricket Club in Melbourne. He spent a month in Victoria, playing some form of cricket almost daily, as well as mingling with some of the greatest players to have ever played such as Shane Warne and Brian Lara. Thanks again to Pavel, and we hope to see you back in Australia soon!
