    Flimsical (NBL/Warriors/A-League/Cricket)

    (00:00) Southland Sharks/NBL (35:40) Mindfulness (39:53) NZ Warriors (01:15:31) Abby Erceg (01:23:58) Callum McCowatt & Other NZ Footballers (01:34:17) NZ-A Cricket & Domestic Movers This week in the Niche Cache we celebrate Southland Sharks winning the NBL championship with excellent coaching, strong imports and a few impressive kiwis in Sam Timmins, Tobias Cameron and Tukaha Cooper. 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. Nick Kelly's strong form continues and Rishika Jaswal leads the women's movers in domestic cricket.

    Winter at the Beach (Warriors/NBL/Football)

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.

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.
