Episode 30 - Round 5 Wrap: Battle of the West

We are now 3 weeks returned from the COVID-19 lock down and
crowds are again on the agenda. The timing couldn't be better
with the quality of footy improving each week (overall
anyway). 


Round 5 provided arguably the game of the year so far as
Parramatta and Penrith battled out West, while the Sharks and
Dragons had a passionate local derby of their own. North QLD's
woes continue while the Warriors continue to surprise. 


Injuries are beginning to have an impact as are mid season
signings and the continuing fallout from the COVID pandemic with
our first game postponement upsetting the preparations for both
the Roosters and the Bulldogs. 


We also analyse the obstruction debate and how the coach's
knocked back a rule change in 2018 and are sticking by it. 


Thank you for all of you around the world who are supporting us
by listening in, sharing and interacting with us daily! 


Adam's Craft Beer of the Week:


Brewery and Beer: Little Bang Brewing Co. in collaboration with
Collective Arts (Canada) Roadtripper DIPA 


ABV: 8.1%


Style: West Coast Double IPA


Country/Location: Stepney, Adelaide, Australia.


First of all this is a coooool looking can. Think pretty much Tie
Dye  on a beer can. Little Bang is a brewery I have been
sampling lately and their Roadtripper DIPA is a seriously big
IPA, with attitude to spare. With hops for days, a dryness, and a
bitterness that really packs a punch. Nothing but beer in here,
but it's big, very big– 114 IBUs big. The finish is huge, as the
end of any road trip should be, according to the brewers. I'm
loving working my way through the Little Bang portfolio and I
hope you give them a crack! https://www.littlebang.com.au/
