What is discussed at the start of this section?
This is an ABC podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, jet ski loons looking for a picnic to splash and fat tyre e-bike rodeo clowns creating untold mayhem on footpaths across the nation. Our great code stands on the precipice of international sporting greatness. So, with soul in the shorts, feeling in the feet, and joy in the jumper, it's time to bump, it's time to thump, it's time to sink the slipper. Let's pull the cord on the Evinrude two-stroke and set off for the far horizon. It's another blast of bludgeoning on the blindside with the master of midfield mayhem, rampaging Roy Slavin, and the man with a fistful of bait and burly, Captain Flathead, HG Nelson.
Yes, TF much. Cedric Espen Sump, AO, aka The Drain, torching the World Cup blindside blue paper for another week. Yes, that's the familiar sound of the Sumpster camped in the ABC spot. ABC soundproof booth on ABC local radio. And remember, this is the home of ABC Rapid. Ah, yes, and remember, Friday night is dog night here. Hello, Australia. HG Nelson lifting the lid on another magnificent week of consenting concussion magic. And what a week. What an incredible week. A week when too much sport is barely enough. We join you with the second half about to get underway in the World Cup. USA 3, Paraguay, blot. And blot is the theme of the day. It's another super set day here on ABC Sport. Aussies from start to stumps.
It'll be fantastic. Fully sick! Bludgers, remember, this is still the trip of a lifetime. And so did The Greatest Game of All, and what a week. The scores tell one story, but again, the code is chock-a-block full of subplots groaning with scheming trickery as silly as the Witch's Coven, who we've referred to in other episodes of The Bludge. Witch's Coven's, you know, camped under the black dot, being hit by a UFO from the planet Coosbane. We haven't mentioned that before, so that's a new plot detail. Releasing hundreds of nude aliens running amok. Well, that is one reading of the events of the week. There's nothing so far in season 2026 that stretches the bounds of good taste and plausibility. But if you want another dose of surreal, you've certainly come to the right place.
You know, this week it's been melting time pieces draped over the branches, the leafless branches of a tree and technicoloured dreams that make no sense in a space patrolled by the sheriff of nothing. And speaking of the big nothing, the King's birthday weekend was a festival of human zeros. It produced the bizarre from a reality beyond the fifth dimension. We don't often go there, beyond the fifth dimension. I'm not sure what's out there, but I'm licking the lips in anticipation. In two matches, one side scored literally nothing. Last week's fixtures, look up the scores for yourself. That's after 80 minutes of rocking and rolling rugby league, two sides scored nothing. Have a squiz at these numbers.
In the house of rubble, the big chooks ran in 26, while the men of Horne... You know, Men of Horn, Canberra's Finest, Sticky, a.k.a. Carlos Smith, and they could only manage, well, a big fat nothing. And I'm not being sizist here. Sticks' mob fell into a hole in the ground, and after the hooter, a blot went into the book. Ah, you thought, okay, fair enough. Sticks says it wasn't us out there, and I took a deep dive into the mess and discovered it was actually a team of under-12s from Clovelly. Nothing could be done about it, and we had to move on, and we did move on. Then at Combank the following day, the Panthers clocked, wait for it, 68. Well, the Braindead Tigers, now, that's not my assessment, that's Coach Marshall's assessment, managed the donut.
You know, sometimes I think they really tried for the donut too, the way they played. They weren't thinking about scoring, they were thinking about preserving the donut. It can happen in rugby league. This is a record score for the men from Panther Town and a record, you know, blot generating system by the Braindead Tigers. In a week of two record scores, it doesn't end there. Two record scores to zero.
