Episode Summary:
This week’s Weekend Review is a wide-ranging, no-nonsense breakdown of a massive few days in sport, blending sharp analysis with the kind of raw honesty fans crave. Ian Hawkins and Steve unpack the latest West Tigers saga; a club seemingly trapped in self-inflicted chaos. From boardroom dysfunction to the long-term damage being done to loyal supporters, the conversation goes deep into why the Tigers’ problems aren’t just on-field, but cultural and structural.
The episode then shifts gears through some of the weekend’s most talked-about moments; Oscar Piastri’s frustrating position in Formula 1 politics, a bizarre WBBL incident that saw a match abandoned after a pitch roller ran over a cricket ball, and the electric scenes from the Australian Open golf, where packed galleries and clutch performances showed why Australian sport, when done right, is world-class.
The heart of the episode is a detailed, passionate analysis of the Ashes series so far. The boys dissect Australia’s ability to win big moments, England’s Bazball reality check, and why fundamentals, pressure, and accountability still win Test matches. From standout performances to leadership questions, crowd intensity, and what lies ahead in Adelaide and beyond, this is a must-listen for cricket lovers who want more than headlines; they want context, edge, and truth.
