FILE NOT FOUND- The hunt for truth

from The Grapple · host The Grapple

The grapplers are wearing shorts and it’s f**king not even summer, but let’s put away complaints about this darn weather and focus on the arrival of the Grapplers Summer Series. Ben Hunt is on the hunt, AJ Brimson is being hunted, and the hunt for some sort of actual detailed information from new Broncos Michael Maguire continues. Tonga are the toast of the rugby league world but can they out-hop the Kangaroos? Does Josh Addo-Carr’s new labouring gig have a bit of a whiff of a politician on the election trail? And on that note, how about some clueless insights from two non Americans on the progress of the US Election and its absolute irrelevance to the world of sport? Also on the grill plate: the wallabies MUST play Suali’i, the English have mastered the art of losing the unloseable, and Australian cricket finds itself grappling with a fatiguing format and more selection confusion than the diabetic in the candy store. Also, it’s summer, so why not a few random references to 90’s films, the early career trajectory of Chris Pine, and a ponderance of whether many athletes get bigger paycheques at a new club after being sacked by the old one. Also- Barkley NFL. Google it. And you’re welcome. The grapple is a movement, it’s making sport podcasting great again, and it will take out both the popular vote and the electoral college without the felonies. Dig it.
