Screech & Roll is back — and so is the most requested guest in podcast history.

Former Hawk and certified basketball sicko Taylor Goodall joins Chibbs and Mad Dog to break down the new-look Illawarra Hawks heading into NBL27.

After last season’s flaming shit sandwich, have the Hawks finally built the balanced roster Justin Tatum needs?

We get into Milton Doyle and why he could be the perfect guard alongside Tyler Harvey, Kelan Martin’s ridiculous shooting, the return of Darius Days, what William Hickey’s role should look like, the lack of a genuine backup centre and whether small ball could actually become one of Illawarra’s biggest weapons.

Plus Kyle Adnam returns and forces Chibbs to relive one of the most traumatic inbound passes of his life, Taylor explains why the Hawks’ bench could be among the best in the NBL, and we look at how Tyler Harvey becoming Australian completely changed the construction of this roster.

NBL27 is here.

Screech and Roll, baby.

The Illawarra Hawks came into this season as defending champs… and somehow ended up on the brink.
In this solo episode, Chibbs sits down and works through seven clear reasons why it all went sideways. From early-season travel chaos and key injuries to roster misses, turnovers, rebounding issues, losing Trey Kell, and a bench that never quite showed up.

It’s honest, a bit grim, but fair. No hot takes for the sake of it, just a Hawks tragic trying to make sense of how a championship team unravelled so fast. If you’re a Hawks fan, this one might sting. If you’re an NBL fan, it’s a case study in how thin the margins really are.

Let us know what we missed and where you think it all went wrong.

This one hurt.

The Hawks lose a grim game of basketball in Perth and we’re officially at the point where a six-point deficit feels insurmountable. We unpack the worst first quarter imaginable, the free-throw numbers that don’t make any sense, and why it finally feels mathematically and emotionally cooked.

We talk:

• Perth’s 37 free throws vs Illawarra’s 12
• Why the Hawks feel capped at the stripe
• McGee getting doubled into irrelevance
• Harvey stuck in foul trouble and forcing it
• Wani doing everything, again
• A four-minute Johnny Narkle cameo that somehow changed the vibe

Plus: Player of the Match, the Flop Award, and a brutally honest look ahead to Tasmania and Brisbane — one terrifying, one a must-win, and both season-defining.

This is Screech & Roll — Illawarra tragics talking hoops the only way we know how.
