Cannibal Island (NRL/A-League/NBL)

from The Niche Cast Hosted by Nick Robinson

This week on the Niche Cast we start by working through the most concerning pockets of our New Zealand sports beat which ends up being Wellington Phoenix. Steven Adams is about to start NBA playoffs with Houston Rockets and NZ Breakers have signed Reuben Te Rangi, Taylor Britt and Rob Lowe, plus we roll through a few key points from the NZ NBL. Brett Hampton, Logan van Beek, Jacob Duffy and Blair Tickner have started their County Championship winters in England, then we chat about the women's cricket system in New Zealand. NZ Warriors had losses in NRL, NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup over the weekend and they have also signed another young Aussie in Jye Linnane. We discuss the theme of young Aussies joining NZ Warriors and how Newcastle Knights are doing the opposite in recruiting young halves from Aotearoa. There are a few more Kiwi-NRL notes on offer such as Tyrone Thompson's debut and Starford To'a doing career best mahi. We finish by celebrating Marko Stamenic then the weekly check in with Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC.
