Two Englishmen in Australia, talking sports and life in a new country

© 2025 They've been doing it all day sir!
  • NRL Christmas Wish List
    Dec 16 2025

    Faster decisions, fewer stoppages, and a competition that rewards smarts as much as grit. We start with the simple win that fans keep asking for—names on jerseys with permanent squad numbers—then dig into the bunker’s scope, speed, and how to rebuild consistency across an NRL season without killing flow or excitement. From time-limited reviews to a 60-second conversion shot clock and a sensible yellow-to-red upgrade system, we map out small, practical changes that make a big difference on game day.

    Manly fans get a focused look at 2026. We talk Jamal Fogarty’s aerial game, how a Brookes–Fogarty combo can keep structure, and why a healthy, hungry pack could unlock cleaner sets and field position. Add a Tolu Koula extension and a drama-free season, and the Sea Eagles could shift from streaky to steady. We also zoom out to the code’s future: a true world round in 2027 to grow the audience, plus an Origin series that brings back high-intensity contests without becoming a whistle-fest.

    Then we switch codes and face England’s Ashes problem head-on. It’s not just about unplayable spells; it’s judgment and patience. We outline a route back: bowl first if the toss allows, attack with pace and intent, and bat with discipline against the new ball to build a platform. Across both sports, the theme holds—consistency beats chaos. Tighten the rules, respect the clock, and trust the audience’s intelligence.

    If you enjoy clear takes and practical fixes, tap follow, share this with a mate who lives for footy (or cricket heartbreak), and leave a review to tell us your top wish for 2025. Your ideas help shape the next show.

  • Two Sports, One Theme......
    Nov 27 2025

    Two sports, one theme: Australia’s method beats England’s emotion unless we change how we play. We kick off with rugby league where the Ashes series underlined a harsh gap—Australia’s defensive reading and set-for-set control shut down England’s predictable shapes. We unpack what England must do before the World Cup, why the Tonga opener in Perth is the hinge that decides the route, and how more NRL minutes for English forwards and playmakers is the only sustainable fix. We also go inside Manly’s reset: a new CEO, Kieran Foran’s rapid move into coaching, Tom Trbojevic with the armband, roster questions around Garrick and the backline, and a mobile middle rotation that could grind out a competitive season if the stars stay healthy.

    Across the league, we weigh the Roosters’ win-now bet, Storm’s reload under Bellamy, and the market noise around departures and arrivals. The most urgent topic is player welfare: the Eli Katoa head knock in warm-up exposed a serious blind spot. We talk gumshield tech, automated HIA triggers, and why pre-match protocols must match in-game standards if the sport is serious about brain health.

    Then we switch to the cricket Ashes. England produced a magnificent new-ball spell—control, hostility, and precision—only to hand momentum back with impatient batting. We break down why discipline beats bravado with the pink ball in Brisbane, how selection should rotate raw pace to keep speeds high, and what England’s top order must change to turn pressure into partnerships. Australia’s attack wasn’t at full strength, which makes smart decision-making even more critical. Leave better, score off the right balls, and manage the night session—do that and the series can swing.

    If you care about smart tactics, honest selection, and turning passion into results, you’ll feel right at home here. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves their code, and drop your call: does England level the Ashes in Brisbane or fall 2–0 behind? Your take might feature next time.

  • Ashes Torture!
    Oct 30 2025

    The scoreboard said 26–6, but the real story was tempo, chemistry, and a crowd that never tipped the pitch. We dig into how England’s ruck speed, defensive depth, and selection choices handed Australia the angles they wanted—then map a clear route to flip the tone in Game Two. From Reese Walsh’s sharpened decision-making to Angus Crichton’s gut-punch try on fifth tackle, we unpack the moments that swung the match and the adjustments that can still turn a cold, wet northern night into a cauldron.

    We also tackle the sport’s bigger horizon. The NRL’s global round—Vegas, London, Dubai, Miami—promises new eyeballs and big tourism dollars, but what does it cost core fans who lose a home game? We debate a smarter rollout and explore how a potential stake in Super League could fuse Australia’s on-field quality with the UK’s terrace culture. Get ready for a vision of double-headers, better venue picks, and atmosphere-first scheduling that grows the game without thinning its soul.

    The Pacific Championships brought pure theatre: Samoa pushing New Zealand to the edge, Tonga-Samoa delivering collisions that rattled screens, and refereeing decisions that reignited the fairness debate when a concussed player sits and the tackler stays. We examine what consistency should look like and how Tonga can trouble New Zealand with early line speed and middle dominance. Plus, a rapid-fire tour of roster moves—Turbo’s extension, Manly’s evolving pack, hooker succession puzzles, and league-wide signings that could reshape the top eight.

    If you’re into sharp analysis, selection debates, and the future of international rugby league, this one’s for you. Tap follow, share with a mate who bleeds footy, and drop a review telling us the one change you’d make before Game Two.
