Ep. 50b. Powtearoa The NZ Blood Bowl Podcast - Greenstone Cup 2025
Chur peopleHot on the heels of our ASC episode we managed to gather the troops and record again! We felt it important to hear from the other event that ran parallel alongside the ASC. The Greenstone Cup!The oldest BB Tournament in Oceania, The Greenstone cup is in its 21st year and took place at the same time, in the same building so think of this episode as a continuation of the previous one.Representing the cadre of clever Kiwis who put the event together we are joined by Auckland's most enthusiastic player Mahuika. And, representing the gamers themselves, we welcome back the amazing Arlo from the Hawkes Bay. Alongside Toffer and Welshy we get a good rundown of who did what and how it all turned out.Why did people run off to hide in the bar? What is Arlo's breakfast of champions? Why has James disowned his kids? All this will be answered in our other 50th episode!Bobsol's fantastic new AUS/NZ Blood Bowl webpage can be found here - https://www.bbanz.net/Full details of the Greenstone Cup can be found on the Discord but please hold listener, we will get back to this tournament soon.If you are not already on discord, come and join us on the NZBB Discord server here - https://tinyurl.com/joinNZBBC and please visit the NZ Blood Bowl Community FB page here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/NZBBC/ If you are not already on discord, come and join us on the NZBB Discord server here - https://tinyurl.com/joinNZBBC and please visit the NZ Blood Bowl Community FB page here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/NZBBC/ Intro music adapted from Bensound.com.

Running concurrently with the Greenstone Cup (which will be the subject of our 51st episode) a multitude of Aussies descended on Mission Bay to try and wrestle the silverware away from us and drag it back to the West Island.There were several outcomes but on key one was that the Powtearoa Studios have been invaded by Kangaroo Plushies, Cans of VB, Posters of 80s soap opera's and Down Underworld Denizens very own Babs!Babs has long been a Friend of the Show and he returns today as one of the members of the Queensland team who took part in the ASC.

Why is Puggy the best player in the game, Did Muckboot have fun? How come Welshy cant remember any of it?
