On today's show, the lads talk all things NRL. But... a little basketball first. Shout out to the Australian Opals opening up their FIBA World Cup campaign in Australian tonight. These French players don't know what's coming!On to the NRL and the lads bring back the Yeah/Nah report. From all things David Fifita's money to the Penrith Panthers potentially being fleeced of a lot of talent, all is covered. Is the pressure on the North Queensland Cowboys after having the week off? Is David Nofoaluma out of a job now Sua'ali'i pledges to Toa Samoa? Huge ripple effects throughout the entire Rugby League World Cup there!The boys venture down Prelim Lane and talk all things NQL Cowboys and Parramatta Eels. The Eels window is closing, and has been all year, but do they have one more win in them to make it to the big dance for the first time since 2009? Or will the same day travel screw them and give the Cowboys the advantage? What a joke same day travel is. Either way, we are going to have a salty Matty or salty Sherpa!Then, Penrith Panthers and South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Forbes Ferrari (Charlie Staines) comes in for the suspended Taylan May which may force Brian To'o over to the other side of the field. The versatile can do it all, so don't be shocked if he is moved. On top of that, Alex Johnston has an asterisk next to his name after the injury suffered in the last game against Cronulla. If he is out, how much strike does Josh Mansour/Richard Kennar actually give? Only time will tell how deadly that left edge is but make sure you close down Latrell Mitchell. He is on another planet with his form right now and even though it isn't "Trellianz Stadium" he will be humming at home.All this and a much bigger deep dive on this week's Pre-Review Pod. Check it out!

Melbourne Boomers and Australian Opals superstar Cayla George joins Adam Gibson on Gibbo Goes One-on-One driven by MG to chat about her experiences in the WNBA, the upcoming WNBL season, her best moments with the Opals and much more.

What an exciting episode of SBL Shootaround we have to bring you to coincide with the opening round action of the West Coast Classic as the replacement for the SBL season in 2020 here in Western Australia.   It has taken until Episode 9 of Women's SBL Shootaround but co-hosts Chris Pike and Randy Miegel now have some real basketball to dissect and review following Round 1 of the West Coast Classic.   Not only that, but we are delighted to announce the first winner of the Wandering Distillary Player of the Round. The inaugural winner is Stacey Barr of the Warwick Senators and she receives a voucher to The Shoe Bar as a reward.   It's then time for our very special guest of this week and it doesn't get much much better than Tanya Fisher. In 141 games in the WNBL, she was a championship winner and Grand Final MVP for the Perth Breakers while also playing 222 games in the SBL including being named MVP when at the Perth Redbacks in 1995.   She now has daughters Eryn and Bree following in her footsteps, she was recently coach of the East Perth Eagles the last two years and still remains heavily involved in basketball today, and is never afraid to express her thoughts on a whole lot of topics on how basketball in WA can still improve.   And if that's not enough for this week's show, we then provide a full preview of Round 2 in the West Coast Classic and then announce our guest for Episode 10, which just happens to be SBL, WNBL, WNBA and Australian Opals legend Tully Bevilaqua.   All made possible thanks to Bassett-Scarfe Realty (www.bassettscarfe.com.au) and Wandering Distillery (www.wanderingdistillery.com.au).

Join us this week as we talk about the new Australian Opals announcement with a big call up to the national team squad for Capital's guard Maddi Rocci. We then catch up with Maddi on the phone to help her celebrate and to see how she's been surviving in COVID land. We finish the episode with a look at this week's WNBL player movements. 

We are back with the third episode of Women's SBL Shootaround and we have a very special guest in the form of an SBL, WNBL and Australian Opals superstar along with further discussion of how the SBL season was looking, the West Coast Classic, the new Perth Lynx coach and plenty more. First up on Episode 3 of SBL Shootaround with Chris Pike and Randy Miegel is a discussion about two-time Rockingham Flames championship-winning coach Ryan Petrik being appointed new head coach of the WNBL's Perth Lynx. Randy reflects on his year's coaching against him, talk about how good it is for an SBL coach to get this opportunity and plenty more. It's then time for this week's special guest and it is three-time SBL championship-winner and dual WNBL championship-winning superstar Darcee Garbin. In a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion, Darcee opens up about her time with the Flames in the SBL and with Ryan Petrik as her coach along with what her plans were for this 2020 off-season and what her plans now are. Darcee also discusses being a free agent in the WNBL ahead of the 2020/21 season and what she is weighing up in choosing where she'll continue to play her basketball with an eye to continuing opportunities with the Australian Opals with the ultimate goal of next year's Tokyo Olympics. There's plenty more discussed including her bond and rivalry with netball superstar sister Sophie, dreams she is working towards and plenty more. Chris and Randy then come back to have a look at how the Lakeside Lightning, Mandurah Magic, Perry Lakes Hawks and Perth Redbacks were looking for the 2020 SBL season, and now for the replacement West Coast Classic. We also welcome on board our first ever sponsor on SBL Shootaround - big thank you to Bassett-Scarfe Realty (www.bassettscarfe.com.au).

We are back with the second episode of Women's SBL Shootaround and there's once again plenty to talk about in the world of basketball in Western Australia. We have our very first special guest while dissecting four SBL teams for 2020, talking about what looks likely to still happen this year and plenty more. SBL writer Chris Pike and Goldfields Giants legend and two-time SBL Coach of the Year Randy Miegel team up once again to bring you the second ever episode of SBL Shootaround as basketball action begins to get closer to happening in 2020. First up the co-hosts reflect on the first episode, talk about the possibilities of what might still happen on the basketball court in 2020 and then get ready to speak to this week's guest, a former teammate of Randy's at the Giants along with being a dual championship player at the Perry Lakes Hawks, Dion Dagostino. Dagostino is now also a three-time SBL Grand Final coach and took the Warwick Senators to last year's decider in his first season in charge of the Women's SBL club. That's only the tip of the iceberg of where the discussion goes and it includes looking back on his playing career, the pain of being let go as coach by Perry Lakes, what brought him back to the SBL and also he reveals exclusive details on the 2020 season he and his Senators are still preparing for. Chris and Randy then dissect how the Cockburn Cougars, East Perth Eagles, Joondalup Wolves and Kalamunda Eastern Suns were shaping up for the 2020 season with predictions on how they were destined to perform. It's then time to wrap up this episode and look ahead to Episode 3 which will include a very special interview with Rockingham Flames, Townsville Fire and Australian Opals superstar Darcee Garbin.
