About this listen

Having started a podcast that was originally about "everything" before morphing into an almost total cricket related podcast, and then starting up a separate podcast to talk about sport with his son (who soon discovered his folly and walked away before going insane), this has become the third iteration of that overwhelming obsession with talking sport. Published whenever something needs to be said, these are the opinions that no one asked for, but you are getting anyway. Opinion from the Sports Bar. Lovers of sport, experts on none.Bill Peters

  • Episode 50: England's Demise Follows the Script at Champions Trophy
    Mar 4 2025

    On today's episode of Opinion from the Sports Bar:

    • The Champions Trophy has reached the semi-final stage. We take a look at the match ups and predict the results.
    • England unsurprisingly have once again failed to reach the finals stage of an international tournament, and the repercussion from former players has been immediate. We have a discussion on England's problems and where they may go from here.
    • The NRL kicked off in Las Vegas, and beyond the two games results, the decision making process has already come into the spotlight. We corner the market on a couple of decisions made and whether they were correct or botched up.


    The agenda is set for this episode. Why not tune in and be ill informed?

  • Episode 49: Peters and Peters - NRL Ladder Predictions 2025
    Feb 26 2025

    On today's special episode of Opinion from the Sports Bar:

    Peters and Peters are back!

    After the huge success of last year's predictions... yeah that is dripping with sarcasm... Peters and Peters return to give you their non-expert opinions on just where the 2025 ladder in the NRL will end up. They have meticulously worked through the ladder predictor at NRL.com.au and come up with a fool proof methodology to predict this season's outcome.


    Why not join the conversation and laugh along as these two mediocre punsters discuss where they think the season is headed.


    Chapters:

    00:00 - Introduction.

    01:53 - Bottom Team Predictions: 17th to 15th.

    08:24 - Mid-Table Team Predictions: 14th to 10th.

    19:15 - Table Predictions: 9th to 5th.
