EDITORIAL: We haven't had a proper discussion about the Warriors' capitulation at the end of the season, have we? And yes, I'm disappointed. Another season, another opportunity gone. But let's be fair. Newcastle beat us 12–10. They were the better team on the day, in my opinion. End of story. Except it isn't really the end of the story, is it? Because now we've got referee Ashley Klein reportedly dropped from this weekend's preliminary finals after missing a crucial penalty that could have given the Warriors a chance to level the game. The NRL has reportedly acknowledged the mistake. But here's my question. What on earth are we doing publicly hanging a referee out to dry? Why are we doing this in this way? We've already seen the disgraceful scenes at Eden Park. Bottles, cups and rubbish thrown at Klein as he left the field. Absolutely disgusting. And now the NRL effectively puts him in the town square, ties him to a post, gives everyone a tomato and invites everyone to have another crack. Why couldn't this have been dealt with internally? Yes, referees make mistakes. Yes, they need to be accountable. Yes, they need to be tough enough to handle the criticism. And accountability is key, but put it out there so publicly to appease the Warriors, I don't agree with. But there's a massive difference between accountability and humiliation. And this goes well beyond rugby league. I've been watching the opening round of Australia's NBL basketball. Coaches constantly challenging referees. Players getting in their faces. Arguing, complaining, carrying on. It's becoming a hobby across sport. And what's happening at the grassroots? We've had situations in Wellington club rugby where games have been affected because there simply weren't enough referees available. We're crying out for officials, yet we seem determined to make their lives miserable. Who in their right mind would volunteer to referee an under-nines game if they're going to be screamed at by parents on the sideline? Who wants to referee a senior game if they're going to be abused, threatened or have rubbish thrown at them? We've got to stamp this out. By all means, review refereeing decisions. Hold officials accountable. Improve standards. But do it professionally. The Warriors lost. A refereeing mistake may have changed the result. We'll never know. What we do know is that without referees, we don't have sport. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An experienced captain is steering the NZ Breakers' ship for the next two years. Gordon Herbert coached the German national basketball team to their first ever FIBA World Cup title in 2023, and his teams have won championships across a wide range of leagues. Now he's taking over as Breakers coach, replacing Petteri Koponen in the role, although he has remained in charge of, and will continue to coach Canada's national men's team. Herbert told Mike Hosking it's been somewhat of a difficult pre-season, as he's been jetting all around the world, from New Zealand to Canada, to Australia, and then back to New Zealand. "It's been somewhat of a short preseason with our team, but it is what it is, we gotta move forward." The mark he wants to make on the Breakers is one of a team mentality – saying although there is an 'I' in win and individuals are needed, a team mentality is needed first. And it's that mentality that will hopefully allow the Breakers to achieve this season's goal: to be a top 4 team in the league. "We've had some injury problems in the pre-season, but to a certain extent, we can control our own destiny, the way we practice, the way we prepare." Herbert told Hosking he's not sure how long he'll be in this role, but he's taking it one day at a time. "I'm trying to get this team to play really good basketball, and we're, you know, not only do we represent the community, and the town, and the city, but we represent the whole country, which is pretty neat." "We want to have a really good product on the floor for our country." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bryson Johnson's path runs through Waterloo, Ontario's St. David's Catholic High School before landing at Bucknell University, where he became a four-year standout and two-year captain under head coach Dave Paulsen. He helped lead the Bison to two NCAA Tournament appearances (2011, 2013) and an NIT trip (2012), finishing 11th in program history with 1,384 career points and earning Second Team All-Patriot League honours. After college, the 6'2” guard played professionally with the Fraport Skyliners in Germany and spent a season with the Orangeville A's in Canada's NBL, before pivoting to coaching. His coaching career has run almost entirely alongside Paulsen: a graduate manager stint at George Mason, an assistant year at Brown, a return to George Mason, then two America East Championship seasons at Vermont, where he helped coach two straight America East Players of the Year. When Paulsen took over at Holy Cross in 2023, Johnson followed as associate head coach — a role he still holds, with Paulsen calling him the best assistant in his 33-year coaching career.

Host Dan Boyce chats with Garrison about arriving in Wollongong as a mid-season import, accepting an unusual role coming off the bench, the Hawks' controversial 2001 semi-final win over Adelaide and the championship run that followed. Garrison also discusses leaving Wollongong for Cairns, being released by the Taipans after only 10 games, joining the very Adelaide team he had eliminated the previous season and becoming the first player in NBL history to win consecutive championships with different clubs.
