Millsy & Guy

Millsy & Guy is afternoon sports radio with rugby in its bloodstream and enough side roads to keep the hour moving. It is quick on its feet. A Super Rugby preview can start with Blues and Highlanders form, turn into All Blacks selection signals, and still leave room for a jab about local loyalties. The show likes matchups. First fives, halfbacks, hookers, loose forwards, midfield combinations, and return-from-injury stories all become talking points, especially when the next national squad might be shaped by them. It also keeps league close by, with Warriors expectations, Cowboys-Manly history, Gold Coast Titans structure, and weekend NRL tips sliding naturally into the mix. Basketball gets serious treatment too. Burton Shipley’s appearance opens up New Zealand pathways, European competition, NBA defence, the Olympics, and how winning changes a sport’s public energy. The interview episodes give the show a different weight. Taine Randell’s conversation moves from school and early sport into All Blacks captaincy, media pressure, and the difficulty of doing the job while carrying everyone else’s expectations. Sir Michael Jones brings a deeper, more reflective tone, talking about rugby family, faith, hard work, injury, amateur-era memories, and the people around him. Scott Sattler gives the practical inside view of building a football department at the Gold Coast Titans. Joe Wheeler brings colour, bias, and proper analysis to a Highlanders-Blues preview. The regular texture is still banter. There are jokes, interruptions, racing asides, stat segments, and mock-serious weekend rankings. The show is not polished into blandness. Its appeal is the mix: informed questions, live-radio looseness, old rugby memory, and guests who are allowed to tell the longer version.
