Benching Nico, Blaming Seibold & Beating the Kids at Golf

Whitey and Greg are back in fine form on a frosty Thursday night, wrapping themselves in sarcasm, rugby league rants, and some surprisingly deep dad chat. This episode of Officially Underqualified kicks off with a classic Top Dog domestic drama — one involving open bifold doors and misinterpreted signals, and somehow ends with a heartfelt moment about parenting on the golf course. Welcome to the chaos.

The lads dive headfirst into NRL turmoil, spotlighting the Sharks’ ongoing woes, Nico Hynes’ million-dollar conundrum, and why paying big bucks for underperformance seems to be the NRL’s favourite tradition. They ask the big questions: is it pressure or complacency that ruins star players once they cash in? And more importantly, why can’t anyone make a bloody tackle in the last 15 minutes?

From there, it’s a rollicking dissection of Origin chaos, Panthers’ late-season surge, and the potential fall of Seibold at Manly. Greg brings the insight, Whitey brings the rage, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed from two blokes watching way too much footy.
Off the field, things get nostalgic and hilarious. Greg shares how a well-timed Under-11s video session (complete with pizza and a projector) turns into a coaching masterclass. Meanwhile, Whitey delivers one of the greatest stories of junior rugby league ever told, starring Declan, the self-appointed centre who’s mastered the art of falling over. Twice. In one game. It’s a cautionary tale and a laugh-out-loud moment all in one.

There’s also talk of US Open golf carnage, 64-foot putts to win majors, and the trials of parenting while being caddied by your own 11-year-old son. Greg opens up about the unique joy of still being someone’s hero — and trying not to scream when your kid quotes all your life lessons back at you mid-round.

And in true Officially Underqualified fashion, it all ends with a cathartic rant about tax myths, Land Cruiser leasing logic, and why "writing it off on tax" doesn’t mean what most Aussies think it does.

This one’s got it all: footy, farce, fatherhood, and financial advice. Buckle up.
