We weave in a few Dragons thoughts, kiwi coaches losing and a Warriors women update before checking in with how the NZ Breakers squad is looking. The NZ U18 basketball team has won their first three games at the Asia Cup and Cashmere Technical is in both the Chatham Cup and Kate Sheppard Cup finals to be played in Christchurch. Chris Wood was joined by Tyler Bindon in a preseason friendly for Nottingham Forest, Alex Paulsen's piling up pressure on Max Crocombe in the Aotearoa goalkeeping ranks and Finn McKenlay's got a new opportunity in Ireland.

Then we roll through a Dragons NRL win vs Sharks and NZ Warriors defence that has seen them restrict lots of opponents to less than 20 points including Panthers on Friday night. We react to the news that Abby Erceg will join Wellington Phoenix Women this season and chat about a bunch of New Zealand footballers performing well in Europe with Zac Jones and Callum McCowatt leading the way. The NZ-A cricket squad was announced for their Aussie adventure and it features three guys yet to play for Blackcaps in Matt Boyle, Max Chu and Zak Gibson.

  Winter at the Beach (Warriors/NBL/Football)

  Aug 3, 20261h 55m

  (02:01) Steven Adams (06:15) Super Smash rant (12:46) Tim Payne (19:37) Top Shelf/Caru & Brandn Shiraz (27:24) Mindfulness (30:54) NZ Warriors (01:00:17) NBL (01:15:39) Auckland FC Women (01:27:09) Callum McCowatt, Tyler Bindon, Matt Dibley-Dias, Luke Brooke-Smith (01:47:04) Cricket This week in the Niche Cache we quickly roll through some Steven Adams, Tim Payne and Super Smash stuff as well as celebrating some awesome New Zealand music from Top Shelf and Caru/Brandn Shiraz. New Zealand Warriors had a win in the NRL and loss in NRLW vs Gold Coast Titans, both of which highlighted fundamental aspects of their footy. Warriors have individual brilliance in NRLW but are struggling to keep up with the speed of the league while Warriors are scoring points all across the park in NRL, can bounce back from losses and had excellent contributions from local juniors vs Titans. Kayliss Fatialofa is also departing Warriors to join Sea Eagles and that leads into an edge forward depth check at Mt Smart. Southland Sharks host Wellington Saints in the NBL final and we chat through some kiwi footballers to watch out for in the Auckland FC Invitational squad, before checking in with Callum McCowatt's situation at Silkeborg and Luke Brooke-Smith at Portsmouth. We finish with a few quick kiwi cricket topics featuring young batters in T20 leagues and Cameron Paul's winter development.

  Cool Goofy (Warriors/NBL/Football)

  Jul 27, 20261h 56m

  (00:00) Commonwealth Games (07:18) NZ Warriors (43:52) Mindfulness (47:16) NBL (56:28) Auckland FC (01:02:15) Wellington Phoenix (01:17:30) Elijah Just & Marko Stamenic (01:26:21) Helena Errington (01:34:45) Future Blackcaps This week in the Niche Cache we start with a quick look at the Commonwealth Games before sliding into NZ Warriors matters. We ponder how the NZ Warriors loss vs Bulldogs fits into their NRL season and how the NSW Cup team is just as good with Jett Cleary at halfback as it is with Luke Metcalf there. NBL finals are here and we chat through some of the match ups as well as the best kiwis around the league, then we have plenty of football to discuss. Marley Leuluai popped up for Auckland FC, Alex Rufer is staying with Wellington Phoenix and Luke Brooke-Smith is departing for Portsmouth and we have Elijah Just building a funky combination with Marko Stamenic for Swansea. Helena Errington has been in great form over the last few months as well, then we finish with a round up of the best emerging cricketers in the Blackcaps pipeline.
