Podcasts about Parramatta

On NRL Sunday, current Panther and future Bear Scott Sorensen joins Andrew Moore, Luke Lewis and John Gibbs. We go inside Queensland Origin camp with second rower Kurt Capewell, reflect on Parramatta's win with acting captain Jack Williams, and go back into the Origin archives with Darius Boys. We chew over the big topics in Six Again and our First Thought is players who changed positions.

It was an afternoon we'd all like to forget at CommBank Stadium, with the Wests Tigers proving little more than cannon fodder against a white-hot Panthers. Losing 68-nil is about as low as it gets for an NRL fan, but despite the awful afternoon, we thought we might try and make some sense of the events in Parramatta.So, this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a little different: it's just Joel and Nick, and we keep things pretty short and to the point.Of course, all the 'One Word' responses from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum feature, along with some key talking points:Where to from here for the team and club?What went so drastically wrong?Were the Panthers just that good?What areas of weakness has this result exposed?It's a tough go presenting or even listening to (or watching) a podcast after a performance like that, but let's soldier on, Wests Tigers fans!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

Over the past 12 months, Wests Tigers has achieved a feat that is more than admirable - a 50% win record. But while that's a really solid base to build on, what exactly do we need to do to take a big step up to being a team that wins most weeks?On this big midweek edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Josh and Jordan to discuss that very topic. Each of the boys gives their opinion on how that big step can be taken by the club and team. Got a thought on that? Did we miss something? Feel free to leave a comment, or join in the discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.Also on this edition, Jordan shares his thoughts on the six-point win over the Bulldogs, and we have an injury update too, with one Wests Tigers star player expected back much sooner than we thought.The news is not so good for Alex Twal, though; the big fella is going to be sidelined for up to six weeks. How will losing Twal affect us? And does it give us the chance to tweak the way we play, having someone else at lock?And the future and career of Latu Fainu is also up for discussion, with Joel asking: are we ruining his development by using him as a Mr. Fix-It at this early stage in his career?Finally, attention turns to our big match this Sunday against the Panthers at CommBank Stadium in Parramatta. Are we any hope against a side that will start as red-hot favourites? At least two members of the podcast team are feeling an upset is on the cards.We hope you enjoy this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and we look forward to bringing you a post-match edition following the clash with Penrith. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

An embarrassing inability to complete a multitude of premium attacking opportunities has cost the Eels dearly in Magic Round. While the Melbourne Storm eventually ran out easy winners on the scoreboard, Parramatta squandered an infuriating amount of chances to seize both the initiative and the momentum on Saturday night. Sixties and Forty20 debrief on the incredibly frustrating loss as the Eels now move into a bye and look to reset with some key players hopefully back in the fold in Round 13.

Gus Gould has publicly admitted the Lachlan Galvin halfback experiment isn't working — and Mick Carayannis isn't holding back, firing up at the Bulldogs boss over the Galvin gamble at Canterbury. With Sam Walker off contract and under pressure on State of Origin's biggest stage, the panel debates whether his Queensland debut can convince the Roosters to keep him — or whether Reece Walsh's Origin snub was the right call. Plus, we dig into the Billy Slater and Aaron Woods rift — is it real? — and take your questions on Dean Young's future at the Dragons, Junior Paulo's contract at Parramatta, and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vegas for Leigh? Parramatta DUO Offered and KR vs Wigan Dilemma... EP 14 The Love Rugby League podcast is back for another episode and there's plenty to get stuck into after another big week in the sport. Aaron and Matt discuss the latest twist in the race for Super League's next trip to Las Vegas, with Leigh Leopards emerging as surprise contenders to face Bradford after Hull FC and St Helens appeared to distance themselves from the States fixture. The boys also react to reports that two Parramatta Eels players, Dylan Walker and Bailey Simonsson, have been offered to Super League clubs for next season, debating where they could fit and whether either would be smart business. There's also a look ahead to a fascinating fortnight between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR, who meet in the league before going head-to-head again in the Challenge Cup Final – but do either side rest players, or go full strength in search of a psychological edge? And finally, with a growing number of low-quality contests this season, Aaron and Matt ask the big question: has Super League become too hard to watch at times? Learn more about your ad choices.

Some big NRL news interrupts the preview podcast as Sixties and Forty20 discuss the most recent developments surrounding Luke Metcalf and Ivan and Nathan Cleary. The Dragons continue their spending spree as they look to remodel their roster after signing Metcalf for 3-years while Ivan Cleary's decision to step back from coaching at the end of 2027 has created intense speculation around Nathan's future. As for the Eels - because this is a Parramatta focused podcast after all - they are in action in the NSW Cup and the NRL as both grades play out of a singular venue this weekend. For the NRL it is Magic Round at Suncorp Stadium while the NSW Cup is hosting its Festival of Footy at North Sydney Oval. The boys preview both games as the Cup look to bounce back from a heavy loss to the Bears while the NRL are looking to build on a crazy win over the Cowboys and bury some Magic Round hoodoos against the Storm.

With State of Origin just around the corner, Billy Slater gives a rare insight into the pressure and preparation behind selecting a Queensland team. After Tom Dearden’s injury rocked the Maroons picture, Billy explains why selection decisions sit with him and why he’s been watching every Queensland player closely for the past 10 weeks. Billy and Peter Psaltis break down the Cowboys’ heartbreaking loss to Parramatta, the impact of Dearden’s injury, and the growing debate around Queensland’s halves and bench makeup under the new 19-man squad rules. There’s also a deep dive into the changing speed of the modern game, why recovery and fitness are becoming more important than ever, and whether Origin itself is evolving. Plus, Melbourne finally snap their losing streak, Billy shares a funny airport moment with Terrell May, the Raiders and Panthers produce a classic in Canberra, young halves continue to emerge across the NRL, and Billy opens up emotionally on the Stories of Origin Podcast and the game that meant the most to his hometown of Innisfail.

Round 10 sees the Eels traveling all the way North to Townsville as Parramatta face off with the gunslinging Cowboys. The Tip Sheet has the Spaghetti Western music blaring and the tumbleweeds rolling and Sixties and Forty20 get their hands over their holsters and ready to draw in the blink of an eye. All signs point to a massive shootout on Friday night as the boys break down the keys to victory. The lower grades have a mixed slate of opponents. The NSW Cup will host the high flying Bears while the Jersey Flegg welcome the Kaiviti Silktails to Kellyville in a bumper double header at Eels HQ.

The North Queensland Cowboys are square in Parramatta's iron sights this week as the Eels head to Townsville for a gunfight in the tropics. It just so happens that the Eels are also targeting a Cowboy off the field with reports emerging today that Harrison Edwards could be a midseason transfer to the Blue & Gold. Forty20 is the lone sheriff in town this week as The Tip Sheet shoots from the hip. The weekend in review features wins for every grade beyond the NRL including a historic double for the Tarsha Gale. The pain just piles on for first grade as Ryley Smith and Will Penisini are both consigned to the injury ward. That directly impact Team List Tuesday as coach Jason Ryles continues to try and make adjustments on the fly with whoever and whatever he has available. The Cowboys flavoured podcast leans into a shootout on Friday night but the NRL is in a perpetual state of shootouts presently with the points flowing to an absurd degree. The Round 9 wrap looks at some of the more telling score lines as the field starts to shake out. Jahream Bula has inked a long term deal with the Tigers, Daniel Saifiti has bowed out of the NRL due to a shoulder injury while Cody Ramsey had an emotional return to first grade in the best (and worst) bits of the round.

Billy and Psaltry dig into one of the NRL's most pressing storylines - Jerome Lui's move to the PNG Chiefs and what it means for the Perth Bears' ability to compete. Billy breaks down why Perth faces a uniquely difficult challenge, with the Chiefs effectively operating on double the salary cap thanks to tax-free dollars and third-party arrangements. Then it's Round 10 preview time - the Dolphins v Bulldogs, Cowboys v Parramatta (and what Reed Mahoney’s journey tells us about what clubs get wrong), and can the Raiders back up their Gold Coast ambush against the Panthers at home?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Warriors have extended their winning streak to four after a 36-14 NRL win over Parramatta in Sydney, perched second on the table heading into their bye weekend. Incumbent halves Tanah Boyd and Chanel Harris-Tavita guided the team to victory in this clash. NRL journalist Brad Walter joined Piney to discuss what this win means for the Warriors.

For this special episode of Race Matters, we are joined by Boe Spearim from Frontier War Stories, Gamilaraay and Kooma activisit and Dad who has been archiving so called Australiaʼs first wars since 2020. Frontier War Stories is a podcast that details across the continent, the wars waged by the colonising British, the massacres and horific dehumanisation that was used as a strategy of genocide by the settling empire and the profoundly dedicated resistance held by Aboriginal warriors. Joined by King, a Ghanian/Wiradjuri creative and newest member of the RM team, these episode dives deeper into the lore of Pemuwluy and Dundali. Pemulwuy, being the first resistance fighter against the colony, organising and leading mob to retaliate against the genocidal regime. Dundali, being the last publicly hung warrior, a symbol of the colonisers to others considering resistance. Over a weekend that memorialises one version of history that seemingly erases the Truth about what happened on this land, this episode reminds us of the ways colonising nation states utilise propaganda and dehumanise resistance. With a special thanks to Clothing the Gap for sponsoring this episode. We are so grateful to be joined by Boe as we attempt to subvert the revisionist history of so called Australia.

The Warriors are rolling into town in Round 9 as The Tip Sheet previews a trio of contests against the New Zealand franchise across the NRL, NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg. Craig, John and Chris go into extra depth in the Flegg and Cup this week as the Eels make some bold calls surrounding the acceleration of some talented prospects including Cameron Bamblett, Ryda Talagi and Chris Petrus. Parramatta were let down by a sloppy third quarter against the red hot Sea Eagles last week - can they lock in for the 2nd placed Warriors on Saturday? The show discusses some crucial selection decisions while the boys speculate on some possible changes to the team to combat the outstanding forward pack of the Warriors.

"I remember being a young bloke as Lord Mayor and I was almost reticent to ask my small team to do the job. I felt guilty. Over time I realised that delegating is actually giving people opportunities." In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to David Borger, Executive Director for Business Western Sydney and former NSW Politician, on Building alliances with your enemies, finding your executive courage, and championing legacy projects.

This week on The Big League Podcast, Newstalk ZB's Nick Bewley and the NZ Herald's Michael Burgess break down another gritty Warriors outing, as they grind out a scrappy win over the Dolphins in Wellington. The boys dive into Andrew Webster's intriguing team list for the clash with the Eels, debate the key selection calls, and reveal who's leading the charge in the round‑by‑round tipping. With momentum building, focus quickly shifts to what's next - a crucial showdown with Parramatta in Sydney this Saturday night, kick‑off 7.30pm NZT.

Chris Ricketts is back! The Tip Sheet, like the Eels, gets some reinforcements for ANZAC Round as the boys preview a trio of games against the Manly Sea Eagles. The boys break down Flegg, Cup and NRL match ups against the Eels' fraternal twin in the Sea Eagles. The returns of Sean Russell and Kelma Tuilagi cause a trickle down impact of playing talent for Parramatta. In the Flegg there is also a significant injection of SG Ball talent as Cameron Bamblett, Ryda Talagi, Chris Petrus and presumably Jackson Koina bolster the side. How big of an influence can they have for the Eels? Kieran Foran has the Sea Eagles flying on a 3-game winning streak while Jason Ryles snapped the Eels out of a funk with their stunning upset of the Bulldogs in Round 7. So who prevails on Sunday?

What do those transitions mean for their spine, their edge, and their identity? There’s also a close look at Jonah Pezet’s move to Parramatta and how he could slot in alongside Mitchell Moses. Is this a partnership that unlocks the Eels’ attack, or will it take time to find rhythm? Billy shares his thoughts on Eli Katoa’s return from injury and the quiet leadership he’s beginning to show at the Storm. It’s about more than minutes on the field. It’s about standards, presence and influence inside the sheds. And we finish with a blockbuster preview as the Brisbane Broncos host the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium.

After a major blackout cut short our previous interview, Martin Willis interviews Bill Chalker — one of Australia's most respected UFO researchers — returns for a deep dive into historic Australian UFO encounters that shaped the country's extraordinary UFO legacy. From the mysterious 1868 Parramatta contact case and the 1927 Fernvale “Mothman-style” phenomenon, to the postwar wave of landings and close encounters, Bill brings decades of meticulous research, field investigations, and scientific inquiry to light. With his background in chemistry and forensic analysis, Bill discusses how historical cases still hold valuable clues to the modern UAP mystery, and how Australia's UFO story connects to the global enigma.SHOW NOTES
