Balls, Sweat and Tears

With less than 24 hours til Origin 1 kicks off we throw around our final thoughts about the big game. We also take a brief look back at the 4 games that were, and the 7 games that will be. And finally, take a journey into the mind of a fantasy genius as Tom picks his Dream Team Origin roster : )

The first of the “bogus” rounds of the NRL is coming up this weekend… nevertheless we take a look at the games, discuss all the action from last weekend and give our thoughts on the NSW and QLD Origin teams. A few technical difficulties this week means this might sound even worse than usual!

We record this weeks episode of Balls, Sweat and Tears from the middle of a major road in Brisbane’s northern suburbs! In addition to our normal NRL ramblings we have a chat about Origin 1 which is just two weeks away.

Albany Creek Crushers win and the Melbourne Storm lose their second straight…. We break down all the action from last weekend, take a look at the upcoming games and talk Dream Team with BSAT fantasy league heavyweight BIRDS WARRIORS!

Tom almost loses it early in this weeks episode of Balls, Sweat and Tears but he finds his feet and we pump the usual “goodness”. The Storm lose, the Rabbits win and SBW continues to impress.

NRL fixtures are back - we discuss all the games, except Cowboys vs Raiders, in a bit of detail and submit our tips for Round 8. We also take a look back in the week that was Dream Team with the two of us going head to head in the BSAT league. A windy night at Balls, Sweat and Tears HQ…

In this episode we look forward to the NRL ramping up again after an “exciting” round of representative footy! Enjoy.

The teams in the NRL are having a week off and to be honest I was tempted to do the same… nevertheless we’re back with the new episode of BSAT. We discuss all the action from Round 6, take stock of how the season has unfolded to this point and look ahead to the first couple of representative games.

Just like the teams on the field, Balls, Sweat and Tears is running into something resembling decent form. Normal stuff… results, upcoming games and Dream Team - plus a healthy dose of the beeper courtesy of TVJ!

Everyone’s a winner! Busy week in the NRL and we jump into all the major talking points - results, news, predictions and Dream Team… so pretty much that gold we’ve been putting out since Round 1. Why is the gold in this episode so much shorter? Good question.

On this weeks episode of Balls, Sweat and Tears we discuss all things NRL while chewing ice, taking sips of beverages and coughing. We also take a look ahead to Round 4, talk some Dream Team and struggle to come to grips with player name pronunciation.

On this week’s episode we dive into the NRL news of the week, review the weekends games and make some predictions for the round ahead. We also spend a few minutes talking Dream Team strategies and respond to some of the Coaches Box chatter from the Balls, Sweat and Tears league. Our most energetic effort yet!

The first round is in the books… we look back on each game, top individual performers and Channel 9′s awesome coverage. We then jump into a few noteworthy items of NRL news, the upcoming round and spend a bit of time talking Dream Team.

So here we go… first episode of Balls, Sweat and Tears. We break down each teams chances in 2013, look at the first round of games and get to a bit of NRL Dream Team. There’s also plenty of mistakes, awkward pauses and incorrect information. Enjoy!

We’ll post something a bit more substantial before Round 1 kicks off… hopefully a better quality recording.
