The final show of the year before the Christmas and New Year break! The lads look back at 2025 in the best way they know how: drafts... A top sporting moment of 2025 draft (I'm sure they missed some). Blind ranking the most popular sports to bet on with betcha in 2025. And of course, a heap of predictions for 2026, including the Football World Cup, Super Bowl and more. Thanks for joining The Group Chat this year. We'll be back in the new year! Merry Christmas!

What was the better display of Test Match cricket: Australia vs England or New Zealand vs West Indies? Probably the game that had players chirping one of the fastest bowlers in the world and proceeding to ramp and pull him for six! The boys have plenty of cricket to discuss, as well as UFC 323, which delivered some shock results. Can you celebrate too much when you win a UFC title? Apparently so... United are in the wins column; meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool find themselves in the Losers' section of this week's show. Finally, a wrap-up of the weekend of punting, including some huge UFC bets and an 'oh so close' touchdown multi in the NFL. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

There's an abundance of sports this weekend with the F1 finale and UFC 323 taking centre stage. Of course, there is the Kiwi Derby too, and then a wee bit of college football action. The lads have their punts on all of the above, as well as their Locks and Laughs for the weekend. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

We have a three-way in Abu Dhabi this coming weekend after Max Verstappen took out the Qatar Grand Prix. McLaren are doing their best job to make things difficult for both their 'golden boy' Lando and Oscar Piastri. And big boy Eben Etzebeth got put in the naughty corner in the Springboks' huge win against Wales. The lads get into their 'Winners & Losers' from the EPL Matchweek 13, and there is no doubt, Spurs were the BIGGEST losers of the week. Finally, an Odds On recap from the weekend of punting and the Chiefs sold big time, the rest... not a bad weekend. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

Ross Taylor joins The Group Chat to chat about The Ashes, the NZ vs West Indies series and his career statistics. Parties at Chris Gayle's house, slog-sweeping Lyon on 290... and playing for Samoa! Ross Taylor Chat (00:49-38:52) Following our catch-up with Ross, the boys dive into this weekend's action, including NFL Thanksgiving games, the EPL & A-League, as well as the Springboks' last Test match of the year. Arsenal, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is the big one this weekend after two big wins in the UCL

It's all go on The Group Chat! The New Zealand rugby season is done and dusted, so the boys get into that last game in Cardiff with their MOTMs, their takes on the World Rugby Awards and a season rating for Razor's side. How about Bazball vs Travball... The Barmy Army can have a quick trip to Bali for some Bintang on their way to Brisbane. They've got plenty of time to kill before the second Ashes Test starts. Sticking with the English theme, the boys delve into their winners and losers of the Premier League, matchweek 12. As well as what's next for Dan Hooker after his loss to Arman Tsarukyan. Finally, an Odds On betting recap. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

With the last test match upon us, Charlie and Phil get into their favourite bet for Sunday against Wales, and surprisingly, they're on the same page. Charlie couldn't be more excited about the Ashes starting, and he's got more than a few plays he likes for the first Test Match in Perth. Dan Hooker is back in action in Doha, and it's set up to be a fight you won't want to miss. And of course, Phil shares his insight on the card. One thing both the boys are stoked about... the return of the Premier League and there is a Matchweek 12 special that's caught their eye. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

The boys recoup after a Tuesday show hiatus thanks to the Melbourne Cup and NZ Trotting Cup. But they're back and get straight into the New Zealand loss against England at Twickenham. Are the media's reactions fair or a total overreaction? Razor should stay! The lads reckon you have to stick with Razor until the end of the next World Cup at least! Do you agree? How about UFC 322!? It started with a bang! There were plenty of knockouts, and then the title fights came... To their credit, the best two fighters won at the end of the day, and neither JDM nor Zhang could do anything about it. Onto an Odds On recap where Phil had a good weekend, and Charlie, not so much.All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

UFC 322 is on the way with the current Welterweight Champion, Jack Della Maddalena, defending the belt for the first time against Islam Makhachev. It's a quality card from top to bottom, so the boys run through it and their picks. New Zealand take on England during the early hours of Sunday morning at Twickenham, and we have a wee same game multi play in store for the game. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

It's Derby Day in Wellington this week with top of the league, Auckland FC, heading down to take on the Nix, who sit in fourth. What can we expect after a clean sweep in the series last year and Auckland FC's 10-2 aggregate scoreline... Can the Nix fight back? We can't forget about the PAC Final between the Kiwis and Samoa, nor New Zealand taking on Scotland at Murrayfield, with some new combinations. So what are the plays on all these...? The lads cover it all with their locks and laughs, 50/22 and 40/20's and Super Boosts for the weekend. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

It's Halloween time, and the lads have got into the spooky spirit, coming up with some scary storylines for their punts. What's worse, having to face the Kiwis in a revenge game of facing an angry Jofra Archer bowling 145km's? New Zealand head back to the place where the Irish first tasted success against the ABs. Soldier Field will host New Zealand's first match of the Northern Tour. There are plenty of good matches to watch out for in the EPL this weekend as Liverpool continues to tumble. They then serve up their 50/22 and 40/20's as well as their locks and laughs. All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.
