Bloke In A Bar
Ivan Cleary HUGE NEWS! Where next for NATHAN and IVAN? + Magic Round Preview
14 May 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Matty, I'm heading up to Brizzy for a big week of footy soon, you in? Of course. I'm super keen for the Friday matches, but I'll be there all weekend.
Chapter 2: What huge news did Ivan Cleary announce regarding his coaching career?
Yeah, same, massive games on. The whole week's going to be chaos. Actually, I was thinking, my place is just going to be sitting empty that whole time. And I'm thinking like, why wouldn't I just put it on Airbnb and make a bit of cash while I'm away? And you've been to my place too. Good spot, good location. I know people who do it every time they go away. They call it a cheat code.
A couple of nights while I'm away alone and I would make enough extra income to pay for our next trip to Queensland. That is actually a great shout. I'm telling you, it's a no-brainer. If your place is just sitting there, you may as well make it work for you. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com.au slash host. What is up, ladies and gentlemen?
Welcome to an episode of Back In My Day. And don't forget, Saturday between 11 and 1, the live show will be there. Roo, Timmy will be there, Tommy Bomb. So make sure to get down. We will be there with NRL Roast, counting down his hottest 100.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Nathan Cleary's potential move to another club?
Plus, we've got a very dribbly announcement to make, which will be super fun. So make sure to be there. There's a few jerseys left, but we sold out of most of our jerseys. So if you want one, go to bloke.shop. And what else? Oh, also, if you're heading to Magic Ground, be sure to swing by the Macca's Fan Zone next to Suncorp.
I'll be there most likely either Saturday or Sunday for a cheeky cheeseburger and some merch.
Chapter 4: What strategies do teams need to adopt for success in the NRL?
So make sure to get down there, guys. But the great Rennie, Rennie04, baby, what's going on?
No much, Camp Dog. I've been up in Rockhampton for the Arthur Beeson Foundation. Yep. Spent five days up there.
Chapter 5: How does the Queensland halfback situation impact team dynamics?
We actually had a fishing contest in Fitzroy. Fitzroy? I think it's the Fitzroy River. I think there was 12 fish caught in two days between 30 teams. They caught 700 barramundi the year before. So it wasn't a great time. Do you know what rod you used? No. Was it the T900 from the – Mate, I decided to do mainly community work.
Chapter 6: What does the NSW spine look like for the upcoming matches?
You're not getting me on a boat for, I don't know, eight hours of the day.
Do you get seasick?
No.
Chapter 7: What insights are there on the upcoming Magic Round?
No, I just don't want to – I'll eat fish. I just don't want to kill them.
Yeah, fair. Oh, okay. You're a loving little fighter.
I'm impatient.
Oh, yeah. True, yeah. Are you a big fisher?
Um, the DJ. Yes. But, um, no, I, uh, I've fished here and there. Um, old roommate, Christian Randall up at the Titans. He used to take me out fishing on his reef radar back in the day. Um, right near the headland. Is that, is that, is that cheating technically? Uh, you know what I mean? Yeah, it was quite a spiritual boat.
But he used to take me out there with our great mate, Mac Baker, who plays for the Blackhawks up there in Townsville. He actually has a page called Outdoor Livin' up there in Townsville, and he does heaps of fishing content, and they took me out one day. It was a wonderful day.
We didn't catch anything, but it felt like you were going to catch things, which I kind of like because I'm very much a mystery box sort of guy. You could offer me $1,000 for the mystery box, and I'm going for the mystery box.
No way. Yeah. Far out. So you like edging. Edging? Yeah, you like edging.
Oh. I didn't know that was this sort of podcast.
