This week Condo and Mr Matrix are putting the NRL board under the microscope. Did you know that 56% of games are ending in blowouts? We're talking scores of 70, 80 points—does that sound like NRL to you? It’s becoming glorified touch football, and that’s raising some serious questions in this podcast about the game’s integrity. We’re seeing a spike in ‘six again’ calls—up 55% this season alone! This isn’t just a tweak; it’s a transformation driven by TV revenue and a push for more tries per game. Tune in to join the discussion!

At its core, The Ball and All is a podcast aimed at normalising adversity. From a humble farm shed in Lennox Head, former Wallaby Berrick 'Barnesy' Barnes, sports business mentor, Steve 'Condo' Condon and former Junior World Surfing Champion, James 'Woody' Wood chat community, connection, challenges and of course, a little sport too. From former and current sportspeople to coaches through to parenting experts, artists and musicians, The Ball and All keeps things light while often going deep.
