The last time South Australia won the domestic one day title, they played out a thrilling tie against a star studded Tasmanian team that featured eight players who had represented Australia. That included the Test captain at the time, Ricky Pointing, and the one day captain at the time in George Bailey.

EPISODE 3 - Always My Hero - “Superman…I'm Me”Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. First image dropped of Superman with Krypto and all I have to say is, he's a good boy.Let's talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 2 - A World WithoutDirected by:David GiuntoliWritten By:Brent Fletcher and Todd HelbingThe Apple TV and Imdb description is: Reeling from failure, Jordan begins to spiral; Jonathan discovers newfound strength; Gen. Lane recruits John Henry and Natalie Irons, before making a choice that will change everything.I CAN'T SEE THE SHOW IT'S TOO DARK! Make TV Turn Up Brightness Again!“Can you ever truly explain how much a person meant to you?” The opening montage with Lois' monologue is almost too much to handle. They are really laying it on thick. Is that a funeral? Did they bury him or are they just talking in front of a tree?I don't understand the conversation Sam is having with the other DOD agent. Is she a superior? Or is he ordering her around?Oooh flashback! Omg I loooooove that Clark is awkwardly telling Sam the secret lol. “Superman - I'm me, we're the same person” Haha the slo mo glasses reveal. I have to say, he does look and seem different! Very reminiscent of Reeve in that famous scene from STM in Lois' apt!Great seeing John Henry and Nat!What a scoop for the Smallville Gazette!I actually really like that Jonathan is mad at Jordan and needs some space. This is real brother shit. Especially with twins. “You were never trying to save dad, you were trying to be a hero and now he's dad, my dad is dead and I never get to see him again.” This was great acting. JONATHAN HAS POWERS!!! FUCK YES!!!!“Can't believe he's flying already” - me too Lois, me too. They call freeze breath, “ice breath,” what do you think about that?Lois calls this bad timing, but I think it's GREAT timing. The more stable brother got powers. Let's fucking go.They are doing a great job with keeping Tyler in the mix with these flashbacks. “We don't get to sign up for the friends and family program.” This is great showing us these conversations between Sam and Clark because we've earned these flashbacks from what we went through with Sam in the first season and then seeing him come around and then now seeing that version of him again, seems like a familiar reminder.What's Doomsday eating? Lex: “The difference is I like him” That's messed up lolWow I love Jonathan cutting up fruit and smelling it! I don't think I've ever thought about that particular power being intense for Superman. “Your father hated limburger cheese”Do you feel it's realistic that Jordan still plays video games? I feel like if I had powers I would fly to every place in the world I've always wanted to see. Instead of a racing game I would actually race. “G'afternoon Superboy” lolOhhhh F, Lois chose Jonathan. Damn. Didn't see that coming. All this backdoor politics in the DOD is boring to me. MARTHA!!!!!!! “Clark you're gonna be a great husband and a terrific father” Love that she has the signature bun tooLois: “don't you ever say that to me again, EVER. “Lex Luthor is using you to hurt me”Who is “Jones?!” J'onn J'onez?jesust how many times is Sam Lane going to almost die. Super-Sam let's GO! Did NOT see this coming. “Suit up John.” Oh yeah they're both suiting up! Double STEEL. Lois in a Wedding Dress! She looks beautiful, I'm crying. “You fell in love with Clark Kent but you're marrying Superman.” “Ok Pumpkin, I trust you. But I see how much you love him….you have my blessing.” That actually is a huge revelation that they got the blessing.You called Superman with a human heart!!!!Great character arc for Sam Lane. I love that he got to be the hero saving Lois, the kids and Superman. “He's gonna come back, I'll be there too for every beat”Ah so the funeral was for Sam, not Superman. Nice twist. What was the significance of the matching shirts the boys were wearing? Update - the shirts were gifts from Sam for their fishing trip. This is long term story telling.  Follow us on twitter at https://x.com/SupermanPalsPod!Check out a video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/@gonzo3249! Click subscribe!

EPISODE 1: The End & The Beginning - “Sometimes I'm a Little Dorky”Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Catch up on Superman movie news, how that affected S&L, Super/Man Chris reeveLet's talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 1Directed by:Gregory SmithWritten By:Brent Fletcher and Todd HelbingThe Apple TV and Imdb description is: Superman is locked in a brutal battle with Luthor's monster; Lois and the boys race against time to save General Lane.Opening shot of cape torn apart was perfectBiker jacket badass Lex music was great - he's SCARYAmanda McCoy - from early in Byrne's run. She's the scientist who figured out Clark was Superman in Issue #2Boys picked up on Clark's fear vs DoomsdayThe flashback kills me - “Sometimes I'm a Little Dorky”I never thought in a million years that I'd see Superman lose his virginity, unless that happened on Smallville lol. “Get ready to have a new best day of your life.”The fight was really really good. I love that it was in space - away from civilians. They Did the thing - Man of Steel #19!The Flashback of Lois in her signature Purple with the vest is almost too much for me to handleSo a tiny shard of Kryptonite in Clark's neck doesn't hurt him?Gretchen Kelley is luthor's personal physician, but here it isn't her real name - “No one can hide from Luthor.” Wasn't she also Lex Luthor II's fake mother?Luthor sitting down with the kids scared the crap out of me and just when I thought he couldn't scare me any more he slammed on the table and WHOAWhat did you think of Luthor's bushy flashback look? I kinda liked it!What did you think about the whole source of the plot is that Lois screwed up, and screwed up big? I have a problem with it. To me Lois is infallible when it comes to journalism. Are there other times when she was just flat out wrong and it cost someone their life? I love Sam Lane being a guy who has 9 lives. I feel like he has more depth as a character than he ever had in the comics, with exception of around Krisis of Krimson Kryptonite when Lois' mom was dying, and he accepted Clark etc. Sam said, “Luthor tried to kill him for years and failed” but does the timing work out? Seems like Luthor would've gone to jail right around Superman's debut? The timeline is still fuzzy to me. Superman's last stand when he emerges from the asteroid was an appropriate use of angry red eyes of anger. While I appreciate we needed Doomsday to take superman's heart to have a plot for the next episode and because Lex said it early on, I don't like that Superman didn't die saving everyone. That should be the thing. Paying the ultimate sacrifice. Doomsday just straight up beat him. Don't like that.“Milton,” “Brainiac going to his head…”The last few moments were really hard to watch. The combination of Lois' horror with all the flashback moments was a lot. This is ACTING. I got to say to Bitsie in person last year that she was robbed of an Emmy nom. And She agreed lol. I know we talked about how these kinds of shows don't get those kinds of awards and I just don't accept that.  Follow us on twitter at https://x.com/SupermanPalsPod!Check out a video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/@gonzo3249!

In a massive day of sport Sam Lane and Lehmo chat team and club culture with Matthew Elliott, they get a comprehensive wrap of the Moto GP at Phillip Island, and they discuss cricket, rugby union and a whole lot more on Summer Grandstand. 

Hello Super Fam of Steel. Lots of tears here on the Waverider as we mourn Sam Lane. Join us as we discuss “Always My Hero.” The Kent family privately mourns a funeral on the Kent farm, foreshadowing what's to come this episode. Later, Lois decides she needs to tell the world, Superman cannot save them anymore. With Lex and Doomsday still on the loose, Sam asks the Irons family to step up. Giving them brand new call signs, Steel and Starlight, the power duo suits up and are ready to help defend their new world. Jon is frustrated with Jordan. All the complaining about his powers, not being able to stand up to Lex, and also blames him for their dad dying. In anger and frustration, he punches a barn beam breaking his hand. All of this emotion, trauma and stress awakens his powers in one of the greatest scenes of the show. He has all of his dad's powers and is ready to train at the D.O.D. with Sam. Lex has control of Doomsday. It seems like he cares for little else than revenge on the Kents and finding his daughter. He spreads division by playing Jordan against Lois when he plays the audio of her choosing Jon over him. He sends his inside man to Sam, but he will not give up Elizabeth's location and Lieutenant Jonell Jones shoots him. The wound is mortal, and Doomsday is on the way. Sam takes the serum Bruno used to make Doomsday and sacrifices himself to Doomsday who crushes him in one hand while Lois and the boys watch.  Steel flies the body to the Fortress and explains to Lara that Sam's heart can be a donor heart for Clark. She has reservations until John explains that Cal's blood was running through that heart, and she decides to try it anyway. The procedure seems to work ask Clark's eyes open with a gasping breath. The funeral continues from where we began the episode, as Lois says her goodbyes to Sam in a tearful moment. Can the Irons, Jon &  Jordan stop Lex and Doomdsday?   Contact Information: If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to TomorrowsLegendsPodcast@gmail.com.

“I mean, who doesn't date a mermaid in college?”Superman and Lois Lane: The Heart of My Adventures with SupermanIn this episode of the Superhero Ethics podcast, hosts Matthew Fox and Riki Hayashi are joined by Superman expert Jessica Plummer to dive deep into the animated series My Adventures with Superman. The trio explores how this fresh take on the iconic characters breathes new life into the Superman mythos, particularly through its portrayal of Lois Lane's and Clark Kent's relationship.Does a Superman story need Lois Lane? Our hosts argue that Lois, and to some extent Jimmy, are not just essential, but the key to humanizing Clark Kent and creating a compelling narrative.

The podcast discusses the show's diverse cast, including an Asian Lois Lane and how these choices open up new storytelling possibilities. The hosts also praise the series' anime-inspired animation style and its ability to balance superhero action with workplace comedy elements.What makes this version of Clark Kent's and Lois Lane's relationship unique? The hosts explore how the younger age of the characters and their more contemporary dynamics create a fresh take on the classic romance.
