    Doin' A Randell (Blackcaps/NRL/A-League)

    (02:20) Blackcaps (23:10) Mindfulness/Herbs (32:12) White Ferns (36:27) Plunket Shield (44:44) NZ Warriors/NRL (01:08:56) Auckland FC (01:24:54) Phoenix men (01:41:10) Phoenix women & Football Ferns (01:47:11) Ben Waine This week in the Niche Cache we reflect on the Blackcaps T20 World Cup final loss and flush the dunny to move forward ... with a T20I series vs South Africa right around the corner. White Ferns have named their T20I squad to play South Africa as well and Brett Randell wasn't the only Plunket Shield bowler to take 7 wickets with Otago's Thomas O'Connor showing New Zealand's depth with delightful left-arm swing. NZ Warriors dished out plenty of offloads against Sydney Roosters and we'll have to wait to see if this is a new addition to their footy, while the Jersey Flegg Cup Warriors played their first game of the season so we offer some deep cuts there. Siale Faeamani made his NRL debut for Titans which means two Kiwi-NRL players made debuts in the first round along with Setu Tu. Both Aotearoa A-League men's teams had draws although the vibes are completely different as Auckland FC prepare for a monster battle vs Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix aren't changing much. Phoenix women return to action after an international break and there are plenty of funky Football Ferns angles to discuss, plus Ben Waine is commanding a World Cup spot with his form for Port Vale.

We break down some key points for their semi-final vs South Africa and then highlight Izzy Gaze as the most impressive White Fern after the T20I series win vs Zimbabwe. White Ferns and Football Ferns are both playing against weaker nations so we compare the two teams, also chatting through some of the emerging Footy Ferns who took their opportunities in Oceania qualification. Plunket Shield rolls along with Northern Districts defeating Auckland and we discuss Simon Keene's sneaky batting ability as well as Zak Gibson's efficient seam bowling for ND this season. Tall Blacks had two wins in Asia over the weekend with New Zealand's basketball depth on show. NRL started over the weekend with the Otahuhu wing combo for Dragons coming close to a win vs Bulldogs and Dylan Brown showing his growth in the halves for Knights. We finish with a trip into the A-League where Auckland FC are still one of the best teams and Wellington Phoenix are the worst team.

Ben Old's a left back now and Elijah Just is still scoring goals in the Flying Kiwis department, then we roll through news that Mitchell Barnett will depart NZ Warriors after this season. NZ Breakers won the Ignite Cup and we prepare for their offseason. Finishing with a wrap of Northern Districts winning the HBJ Shield and Central Districts winning Ford Trophy with Nensi Patel, Kayley Knight, Holly Topp and Curtis Heaphy in the spotlight.

    The Grasshopper Angle (Blackcaps/A-League/Warriors)

    (00:00) NRL Māori v Indigenous (11:30) Melie Kerr & HBJ Shield (30:50) Mindfulness (34:28) Blackcaps (44:27) Ford Trophy (49:35) NZ Breakers (55:18) NZ Warriors (01:11:44) Penrith Panthers (01:17:18) Phoenix Women (01:43:00) Phoenix Men vs Auckland FC This week in the Niche Cache we enter the Melie Kerr era. She was announced as White Ferns captain and we chat through Kerr's leadership ability, as well as previewing the HBJ Shield final between Wellington and Northern Districts. Then we check in with the Blackcaps at the T20 World Cup and how Rachin Ravindra's bowling has been better than his batting, plus a dip for Jacob Duffy. NZ Breakers missed the NBL finals but still have the glorious Ignite Cup to look forward to. NZ Warriors lost their NRL preseason game vs Sea Eagles and didn't show any funky additions to their mediocre attacking movements, while a bunch of Kiwi-NRL juniors caught the eye for Penrith Panthers as they build out their Aotearoa flavour. Then we finish with a stinky loss for Wellington Phoenix women and Aotearoa A-League derby prep for the men.

We also discuss Ford Trophy and HBJ Shield cricket on the domestic circuit before checking with NZ Breakers as they chase NBL finals, while kiwis like Flynn Cameron are already comfortably in the finals mix. Mason Barber showed his potential in NRL preseason footy for Cowboys and NZ Warriors started their U17/U19 season with a couple of losses. We finish with lots of A-League football starting with Sarpreet Singh returning to Wellington Phoenix before diving deep into defensive styles, Auckland FC's win and Phoenix women being the most entertaining kiwi team in A-League.

Then we swing back around to dive deeper into the Blackcaps bowling performance in India and Bevon Jacobs intrigue for the upcoming T20 series.
