Podcasts about Penrith

Newcastle hooker Phoenix Crossland has been handed a four-match ban by the NRL judiciary for the hip-drop tackle that broke Penrith halfback Nathan Cleary's left leg during the preliminary final. He has apologised for taking the focus off the decider this week, during 85 minutes of evidence. Crossland will not only miss the grand final against the Roosters, but also the majority of the World Cup for New Zealand. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further.

In this episode, We're back!! After disappearing off the face of the earth for a while, CSP has returned with no explanation, no structure and somehow 50 minutes worth of absolute nonsense to get through.We kick things off with where the hell we've been, before immediately questioning whether FC 27 is actually an upgrade or whether EA have just changed the number on the box and expected us to hand over another $100. From there we run through everything happening in the sporting world, including the Nations League, which nobody really gives a fuck about, Australia somehow holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw and the Newcastle Knights producing one of the most unbelievable wins you'll see over Penrith.Nathan Cleary's injury gets dissected, the hip drop debate continues and then we get into the Group 1 Punt Off. Warwoven wins the Golden Rose, Fremantle absolutely shit the bed in the Wharfie, Everest slots are still available and everyone is scrambling to work out who gets the remaining spots. Then, after apparently finding his way back from whatever Belmont-shaped cave he was hiding in, The Goatmen returns with five winners. From there the episode completely falls off the rails. Is Grand Final pre-game entertainment actually worth the hype? Haaland has scored against every Premier League team he's faced, and somehow this leads us into the completely unrelated topic of waking up blind drunk, smashing your shin into the coffee table and then having to negotiate your way to the kitchen like you're escaping a war zone.We question why grown men are still doing choreographed entrance dances at their mates' weddings, why influencers are spending their lives recreating recipes that already exist, and whether it's socially acceptable to support two teams in the same sport without being labelled a complete fraud.We then move onto players getting booked for celebrations, the unwritten law of how close you need to be to an elevator before someone is obligated to hold the fucking thing, people absolutely abusing the horn for no reason, and the ongoing battle of trying to get an Uber Eats delivery to a house with no number, no lights and apparently no intention of being found.And finally, because this is supposedly a sports podcast, we remember there's an NRL Grand Final happening and get stuck into the preview, the match-up, the tips and whatever we can come up with before kick-off.CSP is back. An hour of sport, punts, arguments, questionable logic and conversations that absolutely did not need to happen.Stay up to date on our socials @coastalsportspod (0:00) Where The Fuck Have We Been?(4:38) FC 27 — Any Fucking Upgrade?(7:37) What's Going On In Sport?(8:11) Nations League — Who Cares?(12:23) Australia 1-1 Brazil(15:05) Knights Stun Penrith(19:22) Cleary Injury & Ending The Hip Drop(22:17) Group 1 Punt Off(22:37) Warwoven Wins The Golden Rose(24:03) Wharfie Time — Fremantle Bottle It(26:51) Who Gets The Remaining Everest Slots?(30:11) The Goatmen Returns From Belmont(30:58) Is Grand Final Pre-Game Actually Worth It?(32:37) Haaland Has Done It Again(33:34) Blind Drunk vs The Coffee Table(35:34) Groom's Parties Have Lost The Plot(36:54) Influencers Recreating Recipes Nobody Asked For(39:56) Can You Support Two Teams?(43:50) Booked For Celebrating?(44:45) How Close Is Close Enough For The Lift?(46:41) Everyone Needs To Stop Fucking Beeping(48:02) Finding A House With No Number(50:59) NRL Grand Final Preview & Tips

Sorry folks this one took a while cause I was away and had no idea it existed. But it's still good! Pick it up, dust it off and have a listen. As usual this one is brought to you by Google Gemini - Flash 3.8 with enhanced thinking. What does that mean? I'm not entirely sure. But you have to pay for it. Well, I do. They don't. TCRP COMING SOON I PROMISE! It's that part of law school but it's gonna get much better very soon. ENJOY! In Episode 173 of The Two Jacks, hosts Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack break down a confronting and wide-ranging week in Australian news, politics, and culture. The episode opens with an urgent discussion on Australia's domestic violence epidemic following three fatal incidents across regional and metropolitan communities, examining stubbornly high homicide rates, non-intimate familial violence, and the breakdown in enforcing intervention orders. Turning to Canberra, the Jacks assess Anthony Albanese's slump in Newspoll ratings, Siobhan McKenna's appointment as Consul-General in New York, and the persistent political headaches surrounding ministerial perks—headlined by Transport Minister Catherine King's lifetime Qantas Platinum status and the exclusive culture of the Chairman's Lounge. The conversation heats up around Pauline Hanson: her widely condemned remarks regarding First Nations Australians, the unprecedented united condemnation from Indigenous senators across party lines, and her targeted attacks on Albanese's late mother over historic public housing tenancy. The hosts also tackle the national immigration debate, contrasting One Nation's drastic visa-slashing platform with Labor's incremental policy adjustments against a backdrop of acute regional labour shortages. They explore border enforcement anomalies—including the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer in connection with a tracking device placed on former detective Gary Jubelin's car—and examine systemic child welfare failures in Port Hedland. Rounding out the program, the Jacks debate proposed legislation to introduce an opt-out switch for social media algorithms, answer listener mail on the future of the US Republican Party post-Trump and the legendary 1935 Sydney Shark Arm case, debunk birth-order IQ myths, and unpack the $100 million sale of Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel. Finally, they deliver their verdicts on the AFL and NRL preliminary finals and share a laugh over a bizarre weekend in Australian cricket. Comprehensive Show Notes1. Australia's Domestic Violence Crisis & Systemic FailuresJack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack reflect on a harrowing weekend where three Australian women were killed in separate domestic violence incidents, including a 90-year-old grandmother in Sydney, a 23-year-old woman in Wagga Wagga, and a woman in northern New South Wales. The hosts analyse national homicide data, highlighting that domestic and family violence accounts for approximately 40% of all homicides in Australia, split evenly between intimate partner killings and broader familial homicides. The discussion covers the front-line pressures faced by police attending volatile call-outs, historical reporting shifts, and the frequent failure of Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) and Intervention Orders (ISOs) to deter determined offenders. Reference is made to the need for deeper cultural accountability and education among young men rather than relying solely on legal remedies. 2. Federal Politics, Polling Pressures & Diplomatic GigsAnthony Albanese faces a slump in public polling with Labor's primary vote falling to 27%, coinciding with his visit to the United Nations to receive a global citizen award. The appointment of Siobhan McKenna as Australian Consul-General in New York is examined, with Hong Kong Jack outlining the historical business and political ties between the Murdoch organisation and the prestigious posting. The hosts weigh upcoming electoral tests for both major parties in Victoria and New South Wales, alongside One Nation's polling gains. 3. The Qantas Perks Furor & The Chairman's LoungeScrutiny lands on Federal Transport Minister Catherine King after her parliamentary pecuniary interest register disclosed a lifetime Qantas Platinum status gift. Jack the Insider questions whether transparency around declared gifts should trigger public outrage, warning that relentless scrutiny over minor perks deters capable people from entering public life. Hong Kong Jack counters that Qantas's historic practice of handing out elite access and Chairman's Lounge memberships creates an undeniable perception of undue corporate influence across politics, the judiciary, and senior public service. 4. Pauline Hanson Controversies: Indigenous Remarks & Attacks on Maryanne AlbaneseIndigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy and all four Indigenous federal senators deliver a united cross-party condemnation of Pauline Hanson following her offensive description of First Nations Australians. The Jacks analyse Hanson's history of race-based political rhetoric, her qualified apologies, and whether such controversies place an electoral ceiling on One Nation's growing vote. Hanson's public criticism of Anthony Albanese regarding his late mother, Maryanne Albanese, remaining in her Camperdown public housing home until her death in 2002 is placed under factual review. Jack the Insider details the reality: Albanese was on a standard backbencher salary at the time, while his mother was an independent disability pensioner entitled to retain the home she had resided in for over six decades. 5. The National Migration Debate & Enforcement LogisticsOne Nation unrolls an aggressive migration strategy fronted by Barnaby Joyce, proposing to cut 750,000 temporary visas and enforce negative net migration before settling on a 130,000 annual intake. The hosts critique both One Nation's economically disruptive targets and the Albanese government's modest adjustments, noting strong pushback from the agricultural sector over backpacker reforms. Practical realities of border enforcement are weighed, questioning the feasibility of One Nation's plan to involuntarily deport 80,000 non-compliant visa holders annually. 6. Crime, Deportations & Child Welfare in Remote AustraliaThe hosts review the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer following the discovery of a tracking device attached to the private vehicle of former NSW homicide detective Gary Jubelin. Jack the Insider questions the administrative processes behind visa cancellations, contrasting Offer's circumstances with historical deportation appeals where national service exemptions were successfully argued in the High Court. Revelations from Port Hedland concerning vulnerable Indigenous children living unsupervised in squalid state housing prompt a discussion on caseworker burnout, state jurisdictional obligations, and the historical sensitivities of child welfare interventions. 7. Regulating Social Media & The Proposed Algorithm SwitchA look into legislative proposals aimed at curbing algorithm-driven content feeds on social media platforms, including proposals for an opt-out toggle. The hosts assess the risks of algorithm-driven radicalisation and anger loops on young users alongside concerns regarding censorship and government oversight of digital content. 8. Listener Inquiries, Science & Sydney FolkloreListener Lawrence asks what lies ahead for the US Republican Party post-Trump, prompting discussion on party fundraising capture and congressional dynamics. Listener Ray prompts a retelling of Sydney's infamous 1935 Shark Arm Case, where a captive tiger shark in Coogee coughed up a murdered boxer's tattooed arm, culminating in an acquittal based on the argument that an arm does not constitute proof of death. Debunking birth order stereotypes: a review of the 2015 study revealing that firstborns only average a negligible single IQ point advantage over subsequent siblings. Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel commands a record $100 million sale price, sparking nostalgic yarns about Sydney identity John Singleton, underworld figure Stan "The Man" Smith, and colourful characters from decades past. 9. Sports Round-up: AFL, NRL & CricketAFL Preliminary Finals review: Hawthorn's contentious holding-the-ball finish, Brisbane's path forward without the suspended Lachie Neale, and Fremantle's push for a historic maiden premiership. Listener James's query regarding the Adelaide Crows' 2025 performance, assessing midfield deficiencies and trade rumours involving Chad Warner and Nick Blakey. NRL finals overview featuring Newcastle, the Sydney Roosters, and the Penrith Panthers. Weekend cricket highlights: an extraordinary sky-high "moon ball" delivery dismissal, Australia's nail-biting one-wicket win over Zimbabwe off the final ball, and Marnus Labuschagne's expensive bowling spell for Queensland against Victoria.

Episode 190 features Erin Kilpatrick sharing how she has built a fully nomadic lifestyle around points, miles, and travel. After selling her home, car, and belongings and moving to Ecuador in 2023, Erin has spent the past several years living one to three months at a time in different countries. Award travel is a major part of making that lifestyle possible, covering roughly 80% of her flights and 30% of her lodging, while she also maximizes credit-card offers, shopping portals, credits, and other opportunities. The episode also covers current points-and-miles news, including changes to the Chase Aeroplan card, Hyatt ending its American Airlines partnership and adding Delta, and elevated Hilton card welcome offers with free-night certificates.A major focus is Erin's strategy for buying hotel points. She emphasizes that this is not a beginner strategy and should only be used when the math clearly works for a specific redemption. Using a Melbourne Choice Hotels stay as an example, she bought points at 0.57 cents each, reducing a $165 cash rate to about $85.50 in points. She also discusses buying points during unusually low-priced sales, while acknowledging the risks of devaluations and poor redemption values. Erin highlights several under-the-radar destinations she enjoyed, including Penrith in England, Alicante in Spain, and Sofia, Bulgaria.The episode also takes a nuanced look at AI in travel planning. Erin avoids using AI for tasks where established tools are more reliable, such as award searches, points tracking, exact transportation schedules, and precise directions. Instead, she sees AI as a brainstorming partner for building itineraries, researching neighborhoods and transportation options, troubleshooting, and visualizing complicated travel plans. The episode wraps up with advice on renting a car in Ireland, emphasizing the importance of reading rental and credit-card insurance policies carefully, confirming coverage, and obtaining the proper documentation before arriving at the rental counter.Episode Links:Delta/Hyatt partnershipAeroplan card refreshHilton Business card- New offerWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our April 2027 Meetup in Nashville now. award.travel/bna2027Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

It's a sudden death match for the Warriors. They're going up against the Knights in a knockout clash this weekend at Eden Park in front of what's set to be the biggest Warriors crowd on New Zealand soil. If they win, they face Penrith for a spot in the Grand Final. Assistant Coach Stacey Jones told Mike Hosking it's disappointing they couldn't get the job done last week, but they have it sorted for the upcoming clash. He says they know their game and the players are clear on what their roles are and how they want to do them, so if they get that right they'll be tough to beat.
