We are back thanks to Amazon Prime delivering us 'The Test'. The Against All Podds team has got together to recap what we believe to be essential viewing. Join us as we take a lighter and somewhat tragic look at the the 8 part series that has us wondering who we actually like in Australian cricket.

Against All Podds

2020 Ep.60 – PODDLE BOX – REVIEWING THE TEST

Well we can’t say we expected swimming to be the front and centre this week… but here we are! The Lunatic is joined by Tub and the Jinx to run through the usual NRL action. Is Ben Hunt a little hard done by and has the NRL backed themselves into a corner with the suspension to Billy Kikau? Penrith are now surging but are we just destined to see the Storm cruise to another Grand Final, or will Manly give them a warning shot? Mug and Champ gave us some live gold as all hell broke loose in the Swimming world! Surely they can’t take out both awards?

2019 Ep.50 – YANG GUY VS THE WORLD – NRL WEEK 20

The Jinx and Lunatic are on board for their rapid reaction to Game III, that was simply a game for the ages. The Blues have gone back to back, but there is plenty of silver lining for Queensland as they look towards 2020! The boys will run through all the big moments and discuss who has cemented their spots for another year. I guess we have to face the reality that we won't see a better game than that this season, cheers Freddie!

2019 Ep.58 – BACK 2 BACK – NRL WEEK 18

This week Tubba is joined by the Lunatic and Jinx to discuss all the fallout from Origin 2 (2:05). It was a night to forget for Queensland and is a New South Wales dynasty now back on the cards? The NRL action returns after Rep Round and we are treated with a Grand Final rematch (31:00). Will the Storm continue their dominance and keep the Roosters sliding? Outside the NRL it was a big week in the sporting world for Mugs (37:45) and Champs (50:30). Israel Folau simply hasn't learnt and our Aussie women have had a week to remember (except the Matildas). But as usual only one will take home the cake.

2019 Ep.57 – NSW GRILL QLD – NRL WEEK 16

Panic Stations! That's the theme of this week's podcast with the fallout from Origin selections. Has Freddie lost the plot or is this a masterclass? Who really knows... but we'll sink our teeth in nonetheless. Joining Tubba, the Lunatic and Jinx this week is long time fan, Matty (Bieber) to discuss Origin II and why there's still a chance the Blues can bring a decider back to Sydney. As for the NRL action we are yet again talking negatives with the crusher tackle rearing its ugly head more than once this weekend. But it's not all doom and gloom, Tommy Turbo was back with a bang and forces us to discuss who is the best fullback in the game. As usual we love to look around the globe for the best and worst in sport, you won't want to miss this edition of Champ and Mug of the week!

2019 Ep.56 – MERCURY RISING FOR FREDDIE – NRL WEEK 15

With so much to catch up on since our last pod. We'll touch on what the team has been up to, like going to parties with no reception and buying overpriced shoes whilst on holidays. But we know you deserve more than that! Tubba will run the Lunatic and Jinx through the Rugby League trade circus and Origin fallout that has the Blues on the ropes according to some. The season is starting to shape up and we may be looking at the worst team to make a finals series in recent memory. It's round 14 in the NRL and we'll touch on every game as usual, plus look around the world with our Champ and Mug of the week (Including a new Aussie hero!)

2019 Ep.55 – BACK LIKE PEARCE – NRL WEEK 14

The Lunatic and Jinx are on board for another week to discuss the week in Rugby League. Gus has run out of things to do in Penrith and has packed his bags, while Nathan Brown is still learning how to coach in Newcastle. We finally got our first taste of Bankwest Stadium and the Eels didn't let down their fans. Will it become a fortress for the remainder of the season? Round 7 again throws us some do or die match ups, we'll touch on every game with our picks and look at who took home the Champ and Mug of the week.

2019 Ep.54 – THE GUS BUS DEPARTS – NRL WEEK 7

After a few weeks on the sidelines Tubba, the Lunatic and Jinx return to the field to sink their teeth back into the world of Rugby League. We farewell a champion of the game in Greg Inglis and look at a few other players that should hang up the boots or look at new careers. Should the Panthers and Knights start getting desperate as they enter round 6 of the NRL? We'll touch on all the games and where we see them going. Plus look at a few memorable moments in sport, including Tiger's incredible feat at Augusta!

2019 Ep.53 – FAREWELL GI, WELCOME BACK TIGER – NRL WEEK 6

Tubba returns from her bye week and is ready to run the boys through another eventful week in Rugby League. As usual the Lunatic and Jinx are onboard, but this week Dougie has been struck by blue and gold fever and couldn't help but join us! Is Fergo already the signing of the season? Should Widdop farewell the Dragons? And are the Sharks actually good? All this and much more as the team runs through the key talking points from round two in the NRL and what's on the cards in round three. Plus the infamous Mug and Champ of the week!

2019 Ep.52 – BLUE AND GOLD FEVER – NRL WEEK 3

The Lunatic and Jinx are fresh off their visit to Panthers Stadium over the weekend and things may be worse than they seem at the foot of the mountains. Are the Broncos in the same pickle as last year? and are the Storm potentially a better side in 2019? Join the boys as they run through the key talking points from round one in the NRL and what's on the cards in round two.

2019 Ep.51 – PENRITH IN A BLACK HOLE – NRL WEEK 2

Tubba is back in the hot seat and joined by the Jinx and Lunatic to run through everything round one plus touch on how we see the season unfolding. Bragging rights are on the line as usual and now it's time to sit back and enjoy the show!

2019 Ep.50 – HELLO OLD FRIEND – NRL ROUND 1 PREVIEW

Join Tubba, the Lunatic and Jinx as they touch on a bizarre week in sport and look forward to a massive Derby Day at Flemington! Unfortunately Australian cricket is in a spiral that we're not sure they'll get out of anytime soon... Which means we've had to look elsewhere for positivity! The NFL and NBA seasons are in full throttle now and there just might be the next crop of superstars emerging. But let's be real... we are here for one thing only this week and that's Derby Day! As usual we will run through all the news and tips for what will prove to be a another magic day of spring racing.

2018 Ep.49 - PLEDGE, SWEAT & TEARS + DERBY DAY

After a week off the Lunatic and Tubba are here to run through a massive weekend for Australian horse racing! Winx will be flying the flag on Saturday as she aims for an astonishing 4 straight Cox Plates. As usual we will run through all the main races on the day and tip you into yet another positive weekend. Plus it's not all just racing... there's always plenty to talk about thanks to the world of sport!

2018 Ep.48 - WINX GOES FOR 4 + WEEK IN SPORT

It's the week that kept on giving! The Lunatic and Jinx have been chomping at the bit to run through the last 7 days of sport. From the JLT Cup Final (1:00) to Australia's gritty draw in the UAE (5:40) in the cricket world and the UFC brawl we really should have seen coming (12:10). Thanks to all that (and more), it was easy to find our Mug and Champ of the week (25:20). Plus to top it off, we have Tubba running us through another Saturday full of spring racing (40:00) to help fill those pockets!

2018 Ep.47 - 477 BALLS, BRAWLS + SPRING RACING SERIES

After another successful week on the punt you can't blame us for wanting to call ourselves the 'Pod of Gold'! Tubba and the Jinx have once again got out the form guides for a red hot weekend of racing. Randwick will be a day for the mudders, while Winx will grace the Flemington track to warm herself up for another slice of history. There are plenty of other big guns looking to flex their muscle and we'll do our best to get you looking in the right areas.
