From Red Rooster to Raiders: The Ultimate Sports Catch-Up

After a brief hiatus, Officially Underqualified is back, and Matt and Greg have plenty to say. This episode kicks off with the usual banter, a Red Rooster lunch review, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation before diving straight into a jam-packed sports chat. From golf clubs and wedge fittings to NRL finals predictions, the boys bring their trademark mix of humour, insight, and chaos to the mic.

Matt reflects on turning 50 and navigating a busy schedule while Greg juggles family life, business pressures, and a back that refuses to cooperate. The pair trade stories from the course and discuss the mental game of chipping, new gear, and how golf has become both a challenge and a form of escape.

But it's footy season that really gets them fired up. They break down the last rounds of the NRL, celebrating a personal connection as a friend of Matt's son makes his debut for the Titans. The boys analyse Penrith's decision to rest 16 players, the Broncos' chances heading into the finals, and why the Raiders might just have the game plan to disrupt Melbourne's dominance. With honest commentary, strong opinions, and a few laughs at their own teams' expense, they dissect what's gone wrong for Manly and what's working for Brisbane.

The chat doesn't stop at league – the boys cover Oscar Piastri's rise in Formula 1, a shoutout to "The Admiral" and his over-35s football triumph, and a look at the EPL season, including Arsenal and Liverpool's ongoing battle.

As always, there's plenty of banter: from the mystery of NRLW scheduling to sponsorship fantasies (ice cream companies, call us), and even a nostalgic story about a McDonald's manager nicknamed "Eat the Profits." The lads finish with their tipping predictions, some lighthearted betting banter, and a promise to bring more episodes now that life has calmed down.

This episode is everything you love about Officially Underqualified: raw, unfiltered sports talk, genuine camaraderie, and a reminder that sometimes being "underqualified" is exactly what makes it fun. Whether you're here for the laughs, the league insights, or the golf chat, this one's a must-listen.
