167 - NRL GF, AFL GF, NFL
October 02, 2018 23:04 - 3 hours - 83.4 MBAnother footy season done and dusted. Two of the more memorable Grand Finals played out over the weekend. West Coast outwitted Collingwood but it took all 4 quarters. An absolute belter of an AFL Grand Final. The Eagles finally winning 11.13.79 - 11.8.74. In the NRL Grand Final the Sydney Roosters apparently played with 12 men but still completely outplayed the Melbourne Storm. It was a huge performance from the Roosters, eventually winning the game 21-6. In the NFL Big Zacko outlasted...

164 - NRL, AFL, NFL
September 12, 2018 23:03 - 2 hours - 60.9 MBIs Episode 164 the last ever? What could happen to force one member of the team to walk out? Can the other two members carry the show without him? Will he ever come back? All those questions and more will be answered in this explosive episode of Bats and Balls. The NRL threw up a few surprises forcing Pies to eat a big piece of humble pie and apologise, not for the last time, to the Panthers and Dragons. Can they keep the roll on going next weekend? And can anyone stop the Roosters and Sto...
163 - NRL, NFL, AFL, Soccer, Motorsport, Supercoach
September 05, 2018 23:20 - 2 hours - 79.5 MBIn the third and final NFL Preview show we're joined by Ben Sudderth III of BS3 Sports. Ben is a Cowboys fan but we won't hold that against him.

160 - NRL, AFL
August 15, 2018 10:32 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBAfter putting the finishing touches on a very exciting project (stay tuned for more info) we thought it'd be a very short one. But there's just so much going on in the world of NRL and AFL. We don't have any answers to the mess that is the Panthers saga. And we have even less of a clue why the Dragons have fallen off a cliff. One thing we do know. The race for the wooden spoon has never been hotter! In the AFL there's a log jam at the bottom end of the top 8. Teams that aren't the Tigers...
159 - Rugby, NRL, AFL, Supercoach
August 10, 2018 04:11 - 2 hours - 58.3 MBThe Producer has outdone himself. Or at least turned back the clock to when we were organised! Show notes, scores, ladders. It's almost like we're a proper podcast again haha. Kicking off the show is Swainy recapping the Super Rugby Finals. The Crusaders won their 9th Super Rugby title. Confirming their status as the Real Madrid of provincial Rugby. Heaps going on in the NRL including the Rabbitohs looking real good.

July 27, 2018 10:24 - 3 hours - 83.4 MBNSFW. Due to popular demand, Pies is back in the studio. Things get a little heated as we discuss the latest round of NRL. Robust discussion covers the Parramatta dominance over Canterbury, how many people are in the ears of the refs, and whether we want to hear from the referees coach directly after the games. The Giants continue to Never Surrender as they surge into the AFL Top 8. The Eagles are flying high in the top 2, and the Swans continue to lose at home. This time to the Gold Coast...

Have a listen to see how close the boys were to predicting the Final. And can we pick the winner of the whole thing with only 4 contenders? Also stay tuned for one of the best or worst Stat Attacks in history depending on where you stand. The NRL sucks. We put out some feelers on social media and received a few questions. Have a listen to what is burning up...
155 - World Cup, Tour de France, Masters of Rugby League, NRL, AFL, Basketball
July 05, 2018 15:29 - 2 hours - 60.6 MBIn a cruel twist of fate, The Producer has a lot to say and no voice to say it. Pies and Big Zacko manage to get through the show with ease with The Producer merely pushing buttons. Colbee joins us to present Pies his Black Shorts and to preview the upcoming split Masters of Rugby League module at Mittagong and Merrylands. The World Cup is into the Quarter Finals. The draw appears a little lopsided, but it's the World Cup and we never know what will happen in the knockout phase. Can Engl...

There were plenty of woeful performances over the weekend. But because a bloke used some dirt attached to some tape to scuff up a cricket ball, we never heard about any of them. While the rest of Australia were outraged by the ball tampering issue, The Producer and Pies were watching the rest of the poor performances on the sporting field. ...
