The Not-So-Serious Sports Rant. Quick, bantery sprays on whatever’s happening in sport — NRL, cricket, tennis, and anything else that deserves a raised eyebrow. Short rants for the drive, plus stitched compilation episodes when there’s enough madness to go around. I’ll leave you with that thought.
Episode 5: Head Knocks, Human Limits & Origin Rules
Episode 5 of I’ll Leave You With That Thought takes a look at three very different sporting debates connected by one question — where are the limits?
We cover CTE and head knocks in rugby league, the breaking of the two-hour marathon barrier and what it means for human performance, and the new State of Origin eligibility rules that have fans questioning what Origin really represents anymore.
Three topics. Three emotional audits of sport.
I’ll leave you with that thought.

Episode 4: Shield Cricket, FIFA & The NRL Bunker
In Episode 4 of I’ll Leave You With That Thought, The Sportzologist takes a sharp, deadpan look at three talking points across sport — the changing standard of the Sheffield Shield and what it means for Australian cricket, the expansion of the FIFA World Cup and whether more teams is diluting the game’s biggest stage, and the ongoing NRL Bunker debate as technology promises accuracy but often delivers frustration. Three topics, one underlying question: are we improving sport… or just changing it?

In Episode 3 of the I’ll Leave You With That Thought podcast, The Sportzologist brings together three sharp, tongue-in-cheek observations on T20 cricket and whether Australians really care, the rise of sports betting and “gamble responsibly” culture, and the growing pressure on NRL coaches after early-season sackings. From pyjama cricket to punt ads to coaching chaos, this episode explores how modern sport is changing — and not always for the better.
Is T20 cricket just entertainment rather than identity? Has betting become louder than the game itself? And are NRL coaches now judged before the season even settles? This is a deadpan, thought-provoking take on the noise, pressure and shifting landscape of sport.
I’ll leave you with that thought.

Episode 2: Ice Capades, Vegas Sizzle & Lomax Drama
Ice Capades, Vegas Sizzle, and Lomax Drama — three stories, three flavours of sporting madness.
We start with the Winter Olympics: where the margins are microscopic, the pressure is enormous, and someone’s dream can melt faster than an ice rink in a power outage.
Then it’s NRL in Vegas — the bright lights, the big pitch, the American curiosity… and the simple truth that rugby league is either genius in neon, or the world’s most expensive experiment.
And finally, the Zac Lomax saga — because footy contracts now come with plot twists, mood swings, and enough headlines to qualify as a streaming series.
Segments: Winter Olympics | NRL Vegas | Lomax Drama
I’ll leave you with that thought.
