    Whoso Diggeth (Blackcaps/All Whites/Breakers/NRL)

    This week on the Niche Cast we begin, as we often do, with a chat about the Blackcaps following the limited overs tour of Sri Lanka... leading into some stat crunching about the young players taking international cricket by storm. From there we delve into some of the top performers in the Plunket Shield and Hallyburton Johnstone Shield and then football takes over, with a few takeaways from the latest All Whites games and the Wellington Phoenix Women's poor start. The Breakers keep winning and they also keep doing weird things so the Freddie Gillespie/Tacko Fall situation gets a few words. Then finally a few key NRL/NRLW offseason moves for you to stay attuned to, including a sneaky trend of NZ Sevens reps flocking to rugby league.

    Helter Skelter Razzle Dazzle (Wellington Phoenix/Blackcaps/Kiwis & Kiwi Ferns)

    This week on the Niche Cast we offer some musical jam and ponder what NZ Breakers are capable of in the NBL. We also chat through the best kiwis in Tauihi before covering all things Wellington Phoenix after the men won 3-0 vs Central Coast Mariners and women lost 0-1 to Canberra United. There are a few National League nuggets as well, then we discuss the Blackcaps T20I series in Sri Lanka and the start of Plunket Shield cricket. Logan van Beek may be the best player in domestic cricket and Bevon Jacobs is an all format batter for Auckland Aces. We finish with a Pacific Championship debrief for New Zealand Kiwis and Kiwi Ferns along with Kiwi-NRL/NRLWahine notes about Salesi Ataata at Rabbitohs, Jeremiah Mata'utia/Henry Teutau at Cowboys, Shaniece Monschau/Shaquaylah Mahakitau-Monschau at Bulldogs.

    The Pantheon (Blackcaps/A-League Derby/Kiwis vs Tonga)

    This week on the Niche Cast we touch on NZ Breakers being at the top of the NBL ladder and then we react to the Blackcaps Test series sweep in India. We discuss New Zealand's team contributions, fitness, the end of the golden generation and plenty more kiwi cricket including some Ford Trophy notes. Auckland FC defeated Wellington Phoenix in the Aotearoa A-League derby so we break it all down, from Alex Paulsen's defensive influence to the young Phoenix building. Then we roll through Flying Kiwis updates about Milly Clegg, Chris Wood, Katie Kitching, Michaela Foster and Tyler Bindon, before chatting about Tonga's experience, the young Kiwis, and the joys of international rugby league. And we polish things off with the sneaky signing of Tanah Boyd for NZ Warriors.

    Ancient Recipes (Blackcaps/Kiwis & Kiwi Ferns/A-League)

    This week on the Niche Cast we celebrate a Blackcaps Test series win and how tours of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka led to success in India. White Ferns tied up the ODI series with India and Ford Trophy is humming along with youngsters like Tim Robinson and Zak Foulkes lining up for the ODI/T20I tour of Sri Lanka. Chris Wood is still bagging goals and Elijah Just loves whipping in goals from outside the box, while Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix both had wins in the A-League. We finish with New Zealand Kiwis and Kiwi Ferns losing to Australia which was a bummer, but they showed enough positive signs to build on and there is a fun young core of players settling into international rugby league.

    Ram Diggity (Blackcaps/NRL/Breakers/All Whites)

    This week on the Niche Cast we celebrate another win for NZ Breakers before chatting through another Blackcaps loss in Sri Lanka and concerning trends in New Zealand Cricket. Losing organisation stuff weaves into Brisbane Broncos who have a similar record to NZ Warriors in recent years despite NZ Warriors enduring far more pandemic era adversity. There are a few NRL/NRLW Grand Final notes such as Alec MacDonald's gritty mahi, the excellence of James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota as well as Annessa Biddle's incredible performances at centre for Cronulla Sharks. We finish by breaking down the latest All Whites squad and our viewing habits when watching Chris Wood and Steven Adams, along with observations from the first round of National League football.
