Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were.
Speaker 2: Gorge where's around fourteen?
Speaker 1: The candy got that stuff nice, nice and firming. The
Speaker 1: candy in the can that.
Speaker 2: Boys were one week off the big one.
Speaker 4: That's it. That's it, and you know what. I was
Speaker 4: going to do a good thing of the week, but
Speaker 4: I had I saw someone on the weekend and they
Speaker 4: asked me a question and I thought I would fulfill it.
Speaker 4: They asked me, what's happened to just Beiner and the rumors?
Speaker 4: So contacted Jess beIN. I've got three rumors. Instead of
Speaker 4: doing the good thing of the week, I've got the rumors.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: Apparently St George, you are about to announce some signings
Speaker 4: for twenty twenty six six. Yep, Michael Flanagan, John Flanagan
Speaker 4: and another other Flanagan related to Shane are going to
Speaker 4: sign five year deals and play wherever they want. A
Speaker 4: nepotism at its best. So that's one room. Apparently she
Speaker 4: spoke to Gus Gould just pena. She just wanted to
Speaker 4: ask him how how training is on the paddock with Straldo.
Speaker 4: Gus reckons he has never been on the training padic
Speaker 4: or he does sit in the office, so being honest again.
Speaker 4: And the last one was Raman apparently spoke to him. Yeah,
Speaker 4: apparently can't understand why the crowd booty him every time
Speaker 4: makes a mistake on the field. Apparently that's why it
Speaker 4: gets boot because it makes mistakes on the field. It
Speaker 4: can't work, It doesn't work. It hasn't worked it out yet.
Speaker 4: But anyway, Actually I heard.
Speaker 1: An interesting interview with him in Reese and today actually
Speaker 1: they're on the Queensland Radio. Let me say, interesting characters,
Speaker 1: very interesting characters and Israel Man. I think it started
Speaker 1: off an origin thing and he turned into the Boa
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think he's in. But anyway, that's what
Speaker 1: that's what them Nick.
Speaker 4: Everyone's been waiting for one thing all week and that's.
Speaker 2: What has been.
Speaker 4: There's two.
Speaker 2: There's two things, and I'll tell you and I've got
Speaker 2: to say this week's going to be a little bit different.
Speaker 2: Neither one of them is a criticism or controversial. The
Speaker 2: first one is there's a breaking news from the super
Speaker 2: coach whisperer, Phil Gould apparently has made a statement. Look,
Speaker 2: I've never met Payne, heass never spoke to him. I
Speaker 2: don't even know what position he plays, but he definitely
Speaker 2: should leave the Broncos immediately and definitely not to the Bulldog.
Speaker 2: And sorry, Josh, I love it, I love it, I
Speaker 2: love it and The second thing is you're going to
Speaker 2: love this. Shout out to my brother Leno who in
Speaker 2: his organization. And you're not going to believe this because
Speaker 2: I was in tears when he told me there is
Speaker 2: actually a driver whose name is such Himsion. I just
Speaker 2: thought that was brilliant, considering.
Speaker 1: He's everywhere, every here, anywhere I go, and I'll go
Speaker 1: to a cab rank right, I don't know where he's
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 2: Now now now we know his moonlighting somewhere else too,
Speaker 2: behind the wheel.
Speaker 4: I'm going to be in Europe. I'll be there at all.
Speaker 2: And that's not a job, that's for real. I had
Speaker 2: to include that.
Speaker 4: That's a good one.
Speaker 5: Let's go.
Speaker 2: There's no one been this week.
Speaker 4: No, okay, there we go.
Speaker 2: So you guys, when do you want to start Origin?
Speaker 5: Origin? There's the Origin.
Speaker 2: Everyone's pumped. Last time we were sidetrack with other stories.
Speaker 2: Tonight we can look forward to the big one, which
Speaker 2: I think it's in Perth, isn't it next Wednesday? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Strange t Perth. Do you guys want to run through
Speaker 2: the teams? Georgie, how do you want to do it?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he wants to run through the Queensland team
Speaker 1: because the new self has been more settled.
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's only one change for the Blues. But
Speaker 2: we'll start with the Ramone Marones. We'll start with the Ramones,
Speaker 2: move on to the sex Pistols. Now we'll start with
Speaker 2: the Maroons. And at fullback we've got Klem Ponger, So
Speaker 2: even though Rese Walsh she's obviously back now I think
Speaker 2: that's a wise choice. Kadon Ponger at one, Xavier Kurtz
Speaker 2: on one wing, Robert Toyer starting in the centers with
Speaker 2: Valentine Holmes, Hamisair Tabio I Fido the Hammer. On the
Speaker 2: other wing, we've got Cameron Munster who's the new captain
Speaker 2: at six five eight and Tom did In a new
Speaker 2: halfback who's replaced the DC Big call there. But forwards
Speaker 2: we've got Molwaiki Fodowacer at prop, Harry Grant at hooker.
Speaker 2: Big Tino is the other prop, and we've got Ruben
Speaker 2: Conner and Kirk Capewell starting in the back row, with
Speaker 2: Trent Loyero at locke. And then on the interchange bench
Speaker 2: she's got Kurt Man, Lindsey Collins, Jeremiah and I and
Speaker 2: Patrick Carrigan and the eighteenth man. This ridiculous reason he's
Speaker 2: causing headlines. He's Ezra man.
Speaker 5: I'm not going there. And Nicola, can I just.
Speaker 2: Say one thing. The guy's back playing footy, he's eligible
Speaker 2: for selection. Everyone's get on with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not going there that, you know what?
Speaker 1: To me, it seems like he hasn't Billy hasn't addressed
Speaker 1: the real issue. What he's done is rearranged the chest
Speaker 1: on the Titanic.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? The half the half
Speaker 2: back slash captain call. That's a big call.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, the okay, so he got he's got Tom
Speaker 1: diden in.
Speaker 4: Now he's asking.
Speaker 1: Tom to steer, to steer home an Origin victory, a
Speaker 1: decider in w A. And I'm not saying he can't
Speaker 1: do it, please, I mean the kids, the kids class,
Speaker 1: kids class, the kids class.
Speaker 5: But he's never done it. And you know that d
Speaker 5: C has done.
Speaker 1: It now to make d C into an escapegoat because
Speaker 1: I don't think he really played that bad And the
Speaker 1: real problem wasn't d C. The real problem is that
Speaker 1: the forwards got annihiliated, completely killed through the middle, absolutely
Speaker 1: slayd through the middle. That is that what that's the problem.
Speaker 1: That is the issue here. It wasn't d C. Now
Speaker 1: does he have to make a change to get a
Speaker 1: different result? Let's say he does? Is is Tom didn't?
Speaker 1: Tom didn't uh that change he had to make. I
Speaker 1: don't think so, Nicola.
Speaker 5: I'm looking.
Speaker 1: I'm looking the forwards here. That's where that's where the
Speaker 1: changes that have have to come.
Speaker 2: I didn't agree with you, George. I mean they lost
Speaker 2: what was at eight and six.
Speaker 5: Six?
Speaker 2: It wasn't you know? And lg to drop your captain
Speaker 2: halfback after one game, and you're talking about d C too.
Speaker 1: Once you why don't you give someone like they see
Speaker 1: because remember he comes with not only experience, it comes
Speaker 1: with a long kicking game.
Speaker 5: Dealen hasn't got a long kicking game.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to put pressure on Paul Ponga to
Speaker 1: come into the front line and kick long because Monster
Speaker 1: has got a good short kicking game, not a long
Speaker 1: kicking game. So you're putting a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: the young man. And I'm sure he can I'm sure
Speaker 1: that Tom didn't can handle the pressure. Like I said, quality,
Speaker 1: absolutely quality, but maybe not maybe next year, not not
Speaker 1: not this year. And I'm looking at the forwards here
Speaker 1: because that's where that is where the that's where the
Speaker 1: issues are came in the first game, and you've got
Speaker 1: actually any young man with any red hair. I really
Speaker 1: don't Corey harse Bro Now. I want to put Corey
Speaker 1: Hawsbro in and absolutely fire fire him, fire him up
Speaker 1: to absolutely cause havoc. He's got to up hit the
Speaker 1: this this yourself. I was packed. You got upset him.
Speaker 1: I don't the modern day way of upsetting. I don't
Speaker 1: care how you gonna upset him. You've got to upset him.
Speaker 1: You've got to get him off rhythm. You got to
Speaker 1: get him off a tiger, because if they start rolling,
Speaker 1: you're in trouble before the game starts. Seriously, and look that,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see it. I don't
Speaker 1: think Harry will start, Howry wont start just.
Speaker 2: Just going back to the selection, I mean Harry Grant.
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, Bellamy said in the last game, that's the
Speaker 2: worst game you've seen Harry play, so you know he's
Speaker 2: going to bounce back so good. Interestingly, with the there's
Speaker 2: been a lot of criticism, you know, on Slater for
Speaker 2: making the change, right, I kind of see it both ways.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's a pretty ballsy move from him.
Speaker 2: You know, he felt like he had to shake something up,
Speaker 2: but the same token. You know, Queensland are always renowned
Speaker 2: for picking and sticking in recent memory, right, But you
Speaker 2: have to remember in recent memory they've won how many
Speaker 2: out of the last twelve inteen? Right, So it's easy
Speaker 2: to pick a stick in your winning all the time,
Speaker 2: you know. So I think maybe that's a little bit
Speaker 2: harsh as well. I think the article, I think the
Speaker 2: headline yesterday was picking flick. But I think you know, again,
Speaker 2: you know, it's easy to it's easier to stay loyal
Speaker 2: when you're winning. He has to win this match.
Speaker 1: He's got to win, he's got and.
Speaker 2: He's putting him so he's putting, you know, more pressure
Speaker 2: on himself by making that cause. But so he's doing
Speaker 2: what he feels is right. He has to win this
Speaker 2: match or he's I think he's lost three games in
Speaker 2: a row now and and this will be two series
Speaker 2: in a row if he drops this one.
Speaker 4: So so so he had to make a change.
Speaker 2: It's and didn't didn't a very good but it's a
Speaker 2: different look to the team, George, Like you said, I
Speaker 2: think it'll be a little less predictable. I think it's
Speaker 2: not about didn't been there.
Speaker 1: It's it's more about he's not he's he's not, he's not.
Speaker 1: He wasn't never the problem, or this was the problem,
Speaker 1: that's the issue. I didn't didn't look if the if,
Speaker 1: the if, the if the pack held its time in
Speaker 1: game one and and he wanted to make this change,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Where, you know where I felt the biggest issue was
Speaker 2: in game one especially. I think they lost in the
Speaker 2: first half. Right, there's an old saying. There's an old saying.
Speaker 2: You guys know you can't win a game in the
Speaker 2: first three minutes. We can lose one. You know. It
Speaker 2: was a discipline. They had given away three or four
Speaker 2: penalties that were unforced and made a few errors that
Speaker 2: were unforced, and that gave yourself far as the momentum,
Speaker 2: So they their discipline never really gave them a chance
Speaker 2: to get wound up and get going. So I mean
Speaker 2: that'd be my first area of focus for sure, because
Speaker 2: if you look back, if you look back to the
Speaker 2: extended highlights, and some of those penalties they gave away
Speaker 2: just unnecessary and it gave it gave news out. But
Speaker 2: when you've got clearing and Moses kicking. The last thing
Speaker 2: you want to do is give away field position because
Speaker 2: these guys the two of the best kickers in the
Speaker 2: game when it comes to pinning teams back in their corners.
Speaker 2: And I think you South, well, I've just got over
Speaker 2: the top of the arm wrestle and and never never
Speaker 2: let the pressure off. So yeah, it's an interesting one
Speaker 2: because you're right. If if they don't give those two
Speaker 2: areas right, the halves really won't make much of a difference, no.
Speaker 1: Difference to Nicolelina. And I'm looking at the at the
Speaker 1: forwards and I'm struggling. I'm struggling to see, you know what, if,
Speaker 1: if by any chance they can they can be equal
Speaker 1: with the new South Rst Pack, If by any chance
Speaker 1: they can hold them and be equal, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I've got confidence that Monster can do something special.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will do something special. Okay, but they
Speaker 1: still but the queenna has got to be in the picture.
Speaker 2: Because if Slayton does what you suggested, who starts a
Speaker 2: hooker is a kurk Man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think kirk Man.
Speaker 1: God got the gut feeling kirk Man's gonna come on
Speaker 1: for twenty just to cop the credit. All you're gonna
Speaker 1: do is for twenty minutes, Pump twenty tackles into what
Speaker 1: they did last time.
Speaker 5: Pump twenty tackles into the uh into what's his name?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: What's his name again? The hooker?
Speaker 2: No Harry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just Pump twenty tackles into Grant and then
Speaker 1: you've taken you've taken his zippiness zippiness away.
Speaker 5: So I reckon I'll do that at least.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I look at the bench, and uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: got Spencer, We've got Harson Young to come on, We've
Speaker 1: got Stefano, which which impact players even Conda Connor Watson,
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lindsay Collins for the for Queensland. Look at Toyer Toiler.
Speaker 1: Uh no, definitely an impact player, love love Carrigan. So look, look,
Speaker 1: maybe you know what history tells us. His street tells
Speaker 1: us that the team that loses the first game, yeah,
Speaker 1: either wins. That comes very close. I did not expect
Speaker 1: a game like last time.
Speaker 2: No, we're not. I think it'll be much closer.
Speaker 1: Mate, They're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna be ready. Because
Speaker 1: I said this to actually that after the first game,
Speaker 1: and he looked at me a little bit strange. I
Speaker 1: think maybe Billy should look at himself because to me,
Speaker 1: that team didn't look prepared, you know, one way in
Speaker 1: the world that they weren't gonna they they didn't they
Speaker 1: didn't look mentally prepared.
Speaker 5: So that falls back onto the.
Speaker 2: Coach again, right, So so looking at Slater, right, so
Speaker 2: this is his third third series? Is it's his third series? Yes,
Speaker 2: he won the first one, he lost the second one.
Speaker 2: He's still learning the ropes too. He hadn't coached prior
Speaker 2: to this either, Right, So he's in a position now
Speaker 2: that he's not been in before, and he's got to
Speaker 2: learn his lessons and make the big cause. And he's
Speaker 2: doing it. I mean, I've gotta given credit like he's
Speaker 2: he's not shying away, but it's still learning. It's still
Speaker 2: learning his way to So yeah, you know, I'm sure
Speaker 2: he is looking at himself, you know.
Speaker 1: I just I just said that because I don't want
Speaker 1: to throw I mean, the players at then they copp
Speaker 1: the issues because they're the ones that get dropped. But
Speaker 1: I find that hard a Queensland team not coming out
Speaker 1: with fire and brimstone in Queensland at Lang Park. I
Speaker 1: just found it strange. Maybe it's the one off, and
Speaker 1: I think it's one off.
Speaker 2: The other.
Speaker 1: The other thing which worries me a little bit is
Speaker 1: is coming out of dirty Book. Because half the night
Speaker 1: you're coming in Origin, you're coming out of dirty Book
Speaker 1: more than half half the night. And they're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna pump it down. Mitch will kick it down to
Speaker 1: coats uh and then you're gonna have the Hammer or
Speaker 1: Valentine bringing that up on two and three to the
Speaker 1: important tackle too. So you got homes homes or the
Speaker 1: hammer bringing that up on two. And what they're going
Speaker 1: to do is what they did last time is just
Speaker 1: pick him up and drag him because he's not a
Speaker 1: big body. I don't, I don't, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: all these little things I can't wait to find out
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 4: Was on the other side.
Speaker 1: Sorry, just let your stable team pretty much, extremely extremely
Speaker 1: good thing team. The only change that they made was
Speaker 1: a force change and.
Speaker 2: Look, well you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got I've got a few things to say, actually,
Speaker 4: New South Wales fans media, I don't understand. Last year
Speaker 4: we had Tedesco our captain who got dropped after Game
Speaker 4: one for Dylan anwards and look at the result. New
Speaker 4: South Wales smashed Queenslan the second game, Quins Istill the same,
Speaker 4: they got rid of their captain the C and they're
Speaker 4: putting didn't. I don't, I don't. I don't understand what's
Speaker 4: such an issue from yourself? Well fans the big deal.
Speaker 4: But I think it's a good move to be honest.
Speaker 4: It's game too. You're throwing d C. They lose that game,
Speaker 4: that's it. Serious is over? So coincsind's going, you know what,
Speaker 4: We're going to throw everything at him. Didn't for d C.
Speaker 4: I can't understand it. I think it's a great If
Speaker 4: he didn't.
Speaker 2: Make that call, the media would have been hammering him
Speaker 2: for sticking with d C. Would have the way right
Speaker 2: because I didn't.
Speaker 1: Didn't in for d C's not not my issue. The
Speaker 1: question to him, he's like, you know the issue? What
Speaker 1: was the issue? What did you just lose the game?
Speaker 1: And he's moved, But he hasn't moved. He hasn't changed
Speaker 1: anything else he's put He's put didn't for d C
Speaker 1: saying what to me that he was the.
Speaker 4: Issue, he was the problem. He didn't do that. But
Speaker 4: he's also made some really really good tweaks. I found
Speaker 4: one of the best players coming into Queensland, which I
Speaker 4: don't understand why he wasn't always out and that is
Speaker 4: Kirk Capable. If you remember a few years ago Coinsland
Speaker 4: were on the outer and he just destroyed your South
Speaker 4: Wales and on that performance, on that performance alone, I
Speaker 4: would have given this guy ten origins in a row.
Speaker 4: But for some reason he got dropped. I don't know
Speaker 4: what happened. He didn't get picked, maybe got injured. But
Speaker 4: I think I think Kurt Capewall is a sensational choice
Speaker 4: by if you want inspiration, that's the guy that's going
Speaker 4: to do it, because he did it in one series
Speaker 4: and I guarantee he will probably do it again. I
Speaker 4: like him and I'm not sure why he's not there
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 5: A very good player, but the question is is he
Speaker 5: really ski?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: He can. That day he did, he scared the wholeness
Speaker 4: of the Whiles. The other thing, I've got to give
Speaker 4: something else. Credit to Maroons right now, Robert Toyer was
Speaker 4: new South Welshman, right, he would have been dropped because
Speaker 4: that's what they did with Catoni Stags, That's what they
Speaker 4: did with all the other new player. Every time a
Speaker 4: player in a young guy and they lose, they and
Speaker 4: drop him straight away. I still don't understand why Stags
Speaker 4: doesn't play for the South Wales. If it was a
Speaker 4: coinsland Tony Stags would be this will be seven Origin
Speaker 4: and the Ray of coins Lay. But for New South
Speaker 4: Wales he hasn't played since that one game. No, I'm
Speaker 4: talking about Stags. No, but he had a chance before
Speaker 4: them and he got dropped after one bad game. So
Speaker 4: keeping Robert Toyer, I think that's a top choice.
Speaker 2: By what's his.
Speaker 5: But the toy didn't play better.
Speaker 4: I know he didn't at all. So Stags didn't play
Speaker 4: bad either if you look at that game. But I'm
Speaker 4: just glad that Toy got another chance. I think he's
Speaker 4: going to do great things for the coin.
Speaker 2: I know we covered it last week, but something I've
Speaker 2: thought about since then, right, New South Wales have the
Speaker 2: potential to be so much scarier and better than what
Speaker 2: they were because one thing that I thought was when
Speaker 2: I was when I watched the extended highlights of the
Speaker 2: game back, I thought, we all know you got your
Speaker 2: six and seven clear is the dominant half right, and
Speaker 2: he did the majority of the kicking and I thought
Speaker 2: to myself, what if they came with a different game plan.
Speaker 2: What if they decided to share the kicking and keep
Speaker 2: flipping sides. I mean, they could terrorize the back line.
Speaker 2: It was it was fairly predictable that it was always
Speaker 2: going and then it was always going to Nathan, right,
Speaker 2: and obviously you got mitched there as well. And I'm
Speaker 2: thinking if they just decide to make it a little
Speaker 2: unpredictable on either side of the rock, who's good? Who's
Speaker 2: you know? You got one of them standing on the right,
Speaker 2: one of them standing on the left, which side is
Speaker 2: the dummy half going to? And you don't know who's
Speaker 2: going to kick that and they're both going to kick. Well.
Speaker 2: I just think that if they if they were to
Speaker 2: take that approach, God, they could be scary. I thought.
Speaker 1: I think, I think that partnership develop on Wednesday, there
Speaker 1: will be three times better than they were last time
Speaker 1: because that was their first time to get Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Just the other thing I just want to say with
Speaker 4: with the coin, the only thing that I don't like
Speaker 4: about the coins and sw is what's this thing with
Speaker 4: Trent Liro, Like, I know he's been okay, but I
Speaker 4: don't I don't understand why he's picked in the starting
Speaker 4: squad off the bench fair enough, but dropping Carrigan and
Speaker 4: Nani for him, I found that a strange one. That's
Speaker 4: the only one that I question.
Speaker 1: The thing is we've trend and this is the ything
Speaker 1: I can think of, an extremely defensive backgrow slash slock.
Speaker 1: So I honestly believe that the Billy wants to hold
Speaker 1: them as long as we can. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think that Grant's going to go onto the bench, hold
Speaker 1: them as long as we can, and then after twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: when the sting's gone, the stings out of it, then
Speaker 1: we bring up. Then we bring when we've been grand on,
Speaker 1: then we bring Nani on to hit the edge because
Speaker 1: we know that Nano makes breaks all the time. That's
Speaker 1: what I can, That's what I can. Anything I can
Speaker 1: think of, because like I said, I would have thought
Speaker 1: fire with fire, I would have brought Pausburgh back in.
Speaker 5: I would have put.
Speaker 1: Some crazy hooker on so you can cause absolute mayhem
Speaker 1: and craziness. They can break the game out. You've got to.
Speaker 1: You know what, if new so f I'll start rolling again,
Speaker 1: winning the ruck rolling because it was the first game.
Speaker 1: It was a John Chris game plan.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something?
Speaker 2: And I've got a question asked before before we finished
Speaker 2: and started interrupted George. But when I look at this
Speaker 2: Queensland team, no one scares me exactly. I mean, Tino
Speaker 2: has got mongrel in him. But I just don't see.
Speaker 2: I don't see that that. You know, in the past,
Speaker 2: you've always had those scary forwards. I don't know. No
Speaker 2: one scares me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're all hard workers, which I don't know.
Speaker 4: Man, I think it's pretty strong.
Speaker 2: I mean Corey there on the bench, the twentieth man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you might, you might, you might be on
Speaker 5: the day, Okay, maybe maybe.
Speaker 2: So the question when I asked before we flip over
Speaker 2: and did you have.
Speaker 4: Something just the last way, I know you want to
Speaker 4: touch az Ramn right, But putting putting as Raman as
Speaker 4: eighteenth man ahead of DC, you think.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean for me, I mean look
Speaker 2: for me, for mine. The guy's back playing, so he's eligible,
Speaker 2: he's available for selection. Get on with it, you know,
Speaker 2: like everyone's up and down. Like I'm sick of hearing
Speaker 2: about it. To be honest, he's an ex factor. He's
Speaker 2: an X factor.
Speaker 4: Are you saying that that Quins and nen't got other
Speaker 4: X factors? I don't know, like I would have put
Speaker 4: maybe I think that's grave or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. My question was going to be
Speaker 2: my question. My question was going to be before we
Speaker 2: go over to the Blues, do you guys see any
Speaker 2: weaknesses on the Queensland bench?
Speaker 4: On the bench, yeah, all, it's pretty solid.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty solid bench. It's a very good I
Speaker 2: probably would have had Charigans starting personally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and Lira and then what that change might
Speaker 1: happen and Lera comes into into twenty three minutes to
Speaker 1: hold the middle as all. Carrigan could be there for
Speaker 1: impact off the bench because he's an impact player. He's
Speaker 1: a dynamic, very mobile among this human beings. So maybe
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. There's there's obviously a plan.
Speaker 4: The plane is. I'll tell you what the plan is. Right,
Speaker 4: who's on the news? The old bench? Spencerland news, So
Speaker 4: they got why are we going to tire out of
Speaker 4: big guys when Spencer comes on? When we can put
Speaker 4: them on fresh when Spencer comes off the smash?
Speaker 2: Possibly? Possibly you know what I mean, they're not.
Speaker 4: Going to start with Spencer, so what are you going
Speaker 4: to start with a big guy.
Speaker 2: Going over to the Blues. Now there's actually two outs.
Speaker 2: Campbell Graham who's on the extended bench. He's out as well.
Speaker 2: It's Mitch Barnett who's something wrong, whose season is over.
Speaker 2: So Dylan, it's The team is basically the same, with
Speaker 2: the exception of the Mitch Barnett change. So Dylan Edwards
Speaker 2: is the fullback, Brian Toto and actually Brian Toto and
Speaker 2: Zach La Max of the wingers. Toto has a hamstring issue.
Speaker 2: He's expected to play. But Jacob carraz was brought into
Speaker 2: the squad today. Yeah, but he's expected to play. But
Speaker 2: with a hamstring, you know he could do something in
Speaker 2: training or whatever. So young Jacob, could you know he
Speaker 2: could be a walk up start? Who knows? But Tito's names,
Speaker 2: Crichton and Mitchell in the centers. Moses and Cleary are
Speaker 2: the halves. Forwards, Max King, what a game you had
Speaker 2: on Sunday, Rees Robson, Hooker, Payne Harset prop in the
Speaker 2: back round. You got Lea man Angus Crichton with Isaiaho
Speaker 2: who's the captain at Locke. Dude, that's a strong, strong
Speaker 2: looking team. And on the bench you got Connor Watson, Spencer,
Speaker 2: Lenny Hudson, Young and stefano U Toykomanu who whose som
Speaker 2: is saying may actually start. I don't think you will.
Speaker 2: What do you guys think about Matt Burton is downeah? Man?
Speaker 1: You know what again, besides besides, it's a really good team.
Speaker 1: It's really really well balanced. It's just a very good team.
Speaker 1: And they get they're going to get better with the
Speaker 1: second time they're playing together, or you can say the
Speaker 1: third time that must have worked together last year. They're
Speaker 1: just gonna get better. And this is what worries me
Speaker 1: about about Queensland. I mean they should in theory, they
Speaker 1: should get better. If paining Husse does pain huss type
Speaker 1: of things, my godfather, look like, there's not too much
Speaker 1: more I can say about this. We saw what they
Speaker 1: and you know what, once it's all gone and the
Speaker 1: heats over and and you know the bashing's done, they
Speaker 1: bring on Hunts and Young.
Speaker 2: Here we go again.
Speaker 5: Bash you, I mean, what do you do? And then
Speaker 5: just what off the French coast?
Speaker 1: Spencer lend you After twenty five minutes it's my this
Speaker 1: team just keeps on rolling role.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm trying to say, Nicota.
Speaker 1: If they don't stop that role, that continuous role, they're
Speaker 1: in deep trouble.
Speaker 2: To stop that role is what gives that role on
Speaker 2: is what gives the house the time that they have
Speaker 2: to do what they do because as you know, especially
Speaker 2: the six does a hell of a lot of defending
Speaker 2: when when you don't have the ball right. So again,
Speaker 2: when I look at this team, when I think about
Speaker 2: Clear and Moses and both of their kicking games, if
Speaker 2: they do decide to alter the game plan a little
Speaker 2: bit and share the kicking a little bit more, Queensland
Speaker 2: won't know what hit them. That's what I mean, because
Speaker 2: the kicking was predicted like it was all Cleary in
Speaker 2: game one for the most part. And don't forget you've
Speaker 2: got Rece Robson who is a good, good short kicker
Speaker 2: as well out of Dummie half. So if they just
Speaker 2: I think if they just mix it up a little
Speaker 2: bit and just make it a little unpredictable, Queensland will
Speaker 2: be training to defend a certain way. And I think
Speaker 2: New South Wales you've got two first choice halfbacks there.
Speaker 2: You know who can really who can really make the
Speaker 2: kicking the last tackle options, unpredictable bombing, kicking to the corners, grubbing.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much talent there. It hasn't been
Speaker 2: tapped it. I don't think you know it's possible. But
Speaker 2: this game is set up for an ambush, isn't it?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 2: It's like every game that I'm just gonna say.
Speaker 5: We say this and we think one thing. But how
Speaker 5: many times have we falling into the same.
Speaker 1: Many times in our lives and we waken up on
Speaker 1: the Thursday morning and I'm hating the world.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: I'm avoiding nineties. Yeah, I'm avoiding Ivy's phone call. It's
Speaker 1: not I don't know. Look in theory, that's what should happen,
Speaker 1: but he never does.
Speaker 2: I promised Tanya, and yeah, she's not here to defend herself,
Speaker 2: so I can. I can go for it. I promised her.
Speaker 2: I'll get my new South Wales Jersey drive clean before
Speaker 2: she wears.
Speaker 4: Honestly, looking at this team, I think the only team
Speaker 4: that can be honestly complacency or anything like that. It's
Speaker 4: a good team. It's very very good team.
Speaker 2: Well we spoke about Slater. Can we touch on because
Speaker 2: there's not much that's come from. No one's really talking
Speaker 2: about Lorry Daily, right, this team kind of peaches himself
Speaker 2: in a way. But what's Daily done differently what he had?
Speaker 2: He had his first spell, he had a few years off.
Speaker 2: What what's different? What's different this time around? Is anything different? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Look, well yeah the cattle number one.
Speaker 2: I think I think as good as Edwards is, I
Speaker 2: still think is unlucky to miss out as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's a good problem to have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, either rule, But I think I think he learned
Speaker 1: from his first tint stint and he's letting letting them
Speaker 1: breathe and letting them be and not doing too much
Speaker 1: to him. And look at the names on paper. You
Speaker 1: don't have to do too much to him. Don't forget
Speaker 1: right next to him. He's a guy from down south.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, and make that mistake if you
Speaker 1: revisit and you have Nicola the game.
Speaker 2: He's sitting behind him to the road.
Speaker 4: Mind me that the.
Speaker 1: Actual game plan, very Craig Bella, and tell you what
Speaker 1: it was more, it was more wrestling done from your
Speaker 1: sofis I was expecting. I was expecting the nature boy
Speaker 1: Rick Flirer stand up at one minute.
Speaker 2: Forget that's that's like having a Polo Creed in Rockies
Speaker 2: Corner never succeeded as the coach himself.
Speaker 4: True, true, and Beam is coaching against lad one of
Speaker 4: his son. Yeah, you know what I saw different? I
Speaker 4: saw a new South Wales saying that was so far
Speaker 4: more physical than any other time I've seen. But I've
Speaker 4: never seen Queensland backtrack and buckle as much. That's what
Speaker 4: I saw different. I just saw this new team fearing
Speaker 4: Coinsland for the first time.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's one thing that's going to happen. They're
Speaker 1: not going to backtrack now. Could just physically make them
Speaker 1: backtrack because the guests were stage after about thirty forty minutes.
Speaker 1: That inside of you, your soul, you know, you know
Speaker 1: you can't hold them. When when pain Husk comes and
Speaker 1: does what he does, then remember the tackle after paying
Speaker 1: Huss when the lines he shock is the issue, or
Speaker 1: even worse now, when the pain Husk comes out is
Speaker 1: a decoy. He drags two to three players in because
Speaker 1: they think they're going to get it. Then bang outside
Speaker 1: Mitchell go.
Speaker 4: So so you saying Huss has been more used more effectively,
Speaker 4: and then he's ever been used in the origin game.
Speaker 4: He might have, he did, there was his best Origin game,
Speaker 4: and that could be bred at the Bellamy to sorry
Speaker 4: sedately daily charge of the defense. Maybe.
Speaker 1: So so if he if he has twenty hit ups,
Speaker 1: which is probably probably no, it's probably got more than
Speaker 1: twenty hit ups, okay, and he has you know, twelve
Speaker 1: decoy runs. Those four decoy runs will probably cause the
Speaker 1: line more angst than the twenty hit ups. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: the line shrinks, the line stops shrinks, and and and
Speaker 1: they come in a little bit. And the minute that
Speaker 1: come in, you've got the polity of halves of of
Speaker 1: Mitch and and you're in deep deep pooper straight away.
Speaker 2: If they dominate, If they it's the forwards dominate, that
Speaker 2: that halves combination is scary.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, very one of the would you say,
Speaker 4: the best halves combination we've had?
Speaker 2: I think potentially, I mean, I mean it could be,
Speaker 2: It really could be. But yeah, because you know, again
Speaker 2: again Moses played all of his early career at the
Speaker 2: Tigers at Seek, so it's no stranger to it, you know,
Speaker 2: And they seem to compliment each other real well. And
Speaker 2: I read I read an article just today about Nathan
Speaker 2: Cleary is saying that they're enjoying training together and picking
Speaker 2: each other's brains and if they you know it, you'll
Speaker 2: see what they're made of. If Queensland are dominating, because
Speaker 2: that's when you see, you know, when they're doing a
Speaker 2: lot of defending, they're they're kicking from deep in their
Speaker 2: own territory. It's when you're on the back foot, you know,
Speaker 2: you find out, you find out what company you're in
Speaker 2: when you're in trouble. Right, But as long as you
Speaker 2: so far as a winning the arm wrestle, those two
Speaker 2: can have a field day with the boot. There's the
Speaker 2: two best kickers in the game.
Speaker 1: And in saying that, if they and runners too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially Nathan, I'm sorry, especially Mitch probably the best running
Speaker 1: half in the game. You know what, and if you are,
Speaker 1: if queens is dominating, the good thing is when I
Speaker 1: look at this fall pack, you've got the ammunition. You
Speaker 1: got the ammunition to stop. If I was half, don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'll do. Half, I'll be screaming at
Speaker 1: our ma to you know, I mean to to sort
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I think for me you know where
Speaker 2: I see real dominance from the Blues. Seriously to Crichton,
Speaker 2: Mitchell Lomax, that is a pretty that when those guys
Speaker 2: are in the mood, especially when those guys are in
Speaker 2: the mood, absolutely wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and and not only that, how easy they
Speaker 1: got out of dirty ball and how how easy they're
Speaker 1: going to get out of dirty ball because because you
Speaker 1: know what, Brian Tohal does things that other wingers don't do.
Speaker 1: Dylan Edwards on one leg, does things still the other
Speaker 1: fullbacks don't do. Even even if he is the second
Speaker 1: best fullback.
Speaker 2: In He's still safe as the bank, isn't he And.
Speaker 5: Like I said, he does things that Teddy doesn't.
Speaker 2: It just looks a bit warter on to me. It's
Speaker 2: got a bit of mileage on.
Speaker 1: So so imagine if Teddy was there, Yeah he does
Speaker 1: so he doesn't, So okay, So when you pick a
Speaker 1: fullback and Teddy can do it, it's about getting out
Speaker 1: of dirty ball forget about not as good as okay,
Speaker 1: But what what thing does better is in play when
Speaker 1: he sweeps.
Speaker 5: That is much better in at tag form.
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking based on this pack and
Speaker 2: the assumption that they are you know are going to roll.
Speaker 2: Imagine having Pappenhausen back there. Yeah, imagine the attacking threat.
Speaker 2: Imagine having clearing Moses and Pappenhouse and following the ball carriers,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like scary just.
Speaker 5: About having Caitlin sweeping in the back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rumored. By the way, apparently Callen is not going
Speaker 2: to be a Newcastle this year, so interesting keeping on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I read today, So that'll be I don't know.
Speaker 4: Afford three fifty.
Speaker 2: They've already got four five eights. I don't know if
Speaker 2: they can get another one or you need to play
Speaker 2: them at full back? What about the new Stars bench?
Speaker 2: I mean I don't see a weakness there at all.
Speaker 5: Nothing.
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't be surprised if Stefano starts and and
Speaker 2: when len You came on, why did they to not
Speaker 2: kick to him? That's what everyone was waiting for. What's
Speaker 2: the go there?
Speaker 4: I don't know, But with the Stefan I just quickly
Speaker 4: I was surprised. Colomba tongue. I think he's been playing outstanding,
Speaker 4: so yeah, who would you rather?
Speaker 2: He would have actually would have picked Klaimba tongue, especially
Speaker 2: especially in his recent form he's there. He's in the
Speaker 2: nineteen jumper. But I think with the finally get obvious
Speaker 2: sized youth. But the way Klamba Toung, he's last couple
Speaker 2: of I'd have him there. I'd have him there. He's
Speaker 2: been enormous. He's been enormous.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: He's so good.
Speaker 4: But you know what you're not going to get. You're
Speaker 4: not going to leed you down. Yeah, yeah, was Sunday night.
Speaker 5: Yeah they should.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a bolt, wasn't it.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: It deserves it.
Speaker 5: He's a bit like the Cannabury Front roller Max King.
Speaker 1: He's one of those hard guys just work hard, put
Speaker 1: your head down and work hard and works for the
Speaker 1: team and and I like those type of players.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, just quickly we know we've got
Speaker 4: the Nathan Cleary and Moses Halves combination, which is really
Speaker 4: during the Queensland nominance, did they have a set of
Speaker 4: arms that was there for the whole dynasty? Was it
Speaker 4: Thurston and Kronk? Okay, so these guys hopefully that Moses
Speaker 4: and before that wasn't a Kronk and liking. I don't know,
Speaker 4: but hopefully Moses and Cleary can start at Dynasty and
Speaker 4: be there for about five.
Speaker 2: Years and quadroon la.
Speaker 4: Forget that, we're not missing They're the best. You can't
Speaker 4: replace them with anyone.
Speaker 2: And you know, you know what.
Speaker 1: Not that they didn't have a good game. Bath of
Speaker 1: them had very good games. Imagine when they have a
Speaker 1: good games. Yeah, both of them together have a good game,
Speaker 1: and it could be it could be Wednesday coming.
Speaker 5: I thought that was pretty good. Both so good but
Speaker 5: good game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know what it looked like, you look
Speaker 4: like the first time out together, you know, exactly to
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 2: What was what was interesting was the goal kicking. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I still maintained I reckon someoney coins. They
Speaker 2: changed the.
Speaker 4: Gave the balloons.
Speaker 5: Is that going to kick?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean most have three three great
Speaker 2: goal kickers there.
Speaker 4: All of them.
Speaker 1: Oh you said I was thirteen plus, but you know
Speaker 1: how many times I've said that. And Thursday morning I'm
Speaker 1: waking up behaving myself.
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 4: I'm going to New South Wales. But I wouldn't be
Speaker 4: surprised if looking at the spots South Wales.
Speaker 2: I'm confidently, confidently going New South Wales. And ten years
Speaker 2: obviously in Queensland.
Speaker 4: What what's your thoughts If Queensland just they lose whitewash
Speaker 4: three nil, is Billy in trouble?
Speaker 2: No? I think he's going another year, another year. Okay.
Speaker 4: I think he's designed for another year.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: Okay, isn't sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, boys, Let's move into the round. That was Round
Speaker 2: fourteen kicked off last Thursday night with the Knights getting
Speaker 2: home twenty six points to twenty two over the Manly Seagulls,
Speaker 2: a comeback of sorts. We were they sixteen nail down.
Speaker 4: I I'm trying to find there were sixteen nil at halftime?
Speaker 4: You're right, man, mainly looked like they had it in control.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Newcastle literal we won it in the dying
Speaker 2: minutes and then they scored a train extra time.
Speaker 4: You know that's a game of two halves, yeah it yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: It was sixteen mill at half time and.
Speaker 2: Then and one of the halves got dropped from coins there.
Speaker 4: Couldn't heator and then he got the sixteen all in
Speaker 4: the sixty first minute and then Tommy Tallow scored to
Speaker 4: make it twenty two and then Newcastle Fletcher, what's what's
Speaker 4: with the Newcastle on the name Fletcher. Do they name
Speaker 4: all their kids Fletcher, Fletcher, Sharp, Fletcher, Gray, whatever, Flecher,
Speaker 4: Fletcher Hunt killing it? Then interesting, Yeah, game of two halves.
Speaker 1: Newcastle for the first half looked absolutely terrible, that old yeah,
Speaker 1: old ball.
Speaker 4: And guess what.
Speaker 1: Mainly wasn't any better? They weren't any better. But guess
Speaker 1: what Newcastle was so bad? Mainly looked like a million dollars. Uh.
Speaker 5: And I'll get it.
Speaker 1: I'll getting them well, getting them everywhere. I'll getting them
Speaker 1: through the edges. They're getting them through the middle. Newcastle
Speaker 1: was generally bad and and and they went into halftime
Speaker 1: and I don't know what was said. You know, did
Speaker 1: did did they talk amongst themselves and said enough so enough?
Speaker 1: Did the coach say something inspirational? Look, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but something happened because when they came
Speaker 1: out they were a different, absolutely different team.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Like I said, mainly didn't wasn't really playing too well.
Speaker 1: But players like HOPOWARTI, which is gonna be the best
Speaker 1: Hopowardi I was absolutely killing them, Willing Moore and Jazz
Speaker 1: through the middle, absolutely destroying them. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Newcastle were physical, they were
Speaker 1: going through the line. They started picking on Paul luke
Speaker 1: Brooks that they found the revolving door, the pork kid.
Speaker 5: They kept on going to the world.
Speaker 1: Luke Brooks, Luke Brooks missing left, missing tackles, the poor
Speaker 1: kid left, right and center culp his poor found his
Speaker 1: moving moving buddy just straight through him every time and
Speaker 1: pop in h then then pops up, then pops up
Speaker 1: our favorite Ponger with his He came into the front
Speaker 1: line and started playing ball and looks sensational.
Speaker 4: I guess what.
Speaker 5: We went to golden point from alls at halftime.
Speaker 1: Sixteen sixteen all of a sudden twenty two all where
Speaker 1: golden point?
Speaker 5: Where golden point? And I'm thinking, what happened?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 5: What just happened? From an absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1: Watch, that's the first half you should show to our
Speaker 1: prison inmates to really punish him, punish them to something
Speaker 1: half sort of decent. Is is ish okay? Then Ponger
Speaker 1: comes to the big play and scores scores a try.
Speaker 5: I reckon. Both teams are still terrible. I still reckon
Speaker 5: both terms.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a great performance.
Speaker 5: Was it wasn't a game that hit great, great heights and.
Speaker 4: What can I say?
Speaker 1: Mainly mainly stop better start pulling their socks up because
Speaker 1: the years slowly starting starting to sleep away from them
Speaker 1: because they should be doing better. I think that, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that just the yeah, okay, sorry, we just
Speaker 1: had some technical difference, Nicol, but we still got you
Speaker 1: on the still got you on zoom. The I think
Speaker 1: mainly's forwards Lexpid. It's just not there. I think they're
Speaker 1: they're I don't know if they're older, but they're just
Speaker 1: a little bit slow. They didn't get they didn't get
Speaker 1: all the Kawatu involved at all. Ben Travoyevich was just
Speaker 1: a revolving door as well. They've got some soul searching
Speaker 1: to do. Newcastle. Let's hope that this is the new
Speaker 1: Newcastle and they're going to power on power on the
Speaker 1: way the way they did for twenty minutes, because it
Speaker 1: was only twenty minutes. Really in the second half, it
Speaker 1: wasn't the full full forty because they actually looked half
Speaker 1: half decent. Paul is leaving them, but col piece Paul
Speaker 1: I saw. I saw the cold piece Paul and I
Speaker 1: saw in England when I first went well, so I
Speaker 1: start talking about him.
Speaker 5: That were good, that we was good. What can I say?
Speaker 4: They were good the second half they were first half
Speaker 4: forget it, sham were still ship but mainly like what
Speaker 4: pack and manly but you know who they bet last week?
Speaker 4: They lost the week before that a big winning out
Speaker 4: the week before Ya. Mainly they've been a good side
Speaker 4: in the list. I think they've beat Broncos, didn't.
Speaker 2: They They've been the Broncos thirty four to six.
Speaker 4: Exactly, So they were mainly they smashed the Broncos and
Speaker 4: then everyone thought this is I think everyone said mainly
Speaker 4: I don't know anyone that.
Speaker 5: She texted me, Yeah, told you what?
Speaker 2: Hell?
Speaker 4: But man, that's that's that's many this year they'll have
Speaker 4: a great winning and I'll follow with a disappointing loss.
Speaker 5: So yeah, look, I don't know. I'd like to know.
Speaker 1: And can I talk about the presser and we all
Speaker 1: know about this. I want to talk about O'Brien. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe it was caught off guard, but if it's any
Speaker 1: fan base that deserves respect.
Speaker 4: It's got to be the apologized.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a bad thing or it was
Speaker 1: a bad thing at the time, but if it's any
Speaker 1: fan base that I would protect. You know, rain hal shine,
Speaker 1: it could be forty degrees, they could be coming last
Speaker 1: with one victory all year.
Speaker 4: They're there.
Speaker 1: It's probably beside Brisbane, it's probably the only fan base
Speaker 1: that does so. And you apologize, full credit to him,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what if if they want to boo,
Speaker 1: because let's get real, Newcastle deserve to be booed, just
Speaker 1: let them boo and say sorry, you know, we will
Speaker 1: perform better next week, because.
Speaker 2: I think the fans were indicated, Beau. Look what happened
Speaker 2: in the second half.
Speaker 5: Yeah again, Yeah, keep doing it, guys. I'm there, I'm there,
Speaker 5: I'm there. But I just found it.
Speaker 1: I just found it funny because, like I said, any fan,
Speaker 1: but any fan base in the league I can I
Speaker 1: can wear because I mean, if we lose four games,
Speaker 1: you know, that's sixty thousand people will probably get down
Speaker 1: to ten thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, newcast teams.
Speaker 1: Newcastle just doesn't matter, rain, hail shine, coming last, they
Speaker 1: just they just go. So they're probably the Brisbane probably
Speaker 1: the two best fan bases in the country.
Speaker 2: The points for this one already.
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, the points for this one is, let's have
Speaker 4: a quick look. Sorry about that. The three points went
Speaker 4: to Fletcher Sharp. He's having a great year ol Kawatu
Speaker 4: for Manly. He was doing some damaging damage in the
Speaker 4: first half. He got the two and Greg Marju made
Speaker 4: close to three hundred meters so he was punching your
Speaker 4: holes through. So he got the one point at the
Speaker 4: end of the stuff.
Speaker 1: I just Fletcher shop, very very very good performance, a
Speaker 1: very very very good player.
Speaker 2: Not a half.
Speaker 1: Put him at fullback, not a half. He's not a
Speaker 1: not a half. And you know what they say, they're
Speaker 1: gonna play. They're gonna Mary Fletcher and Brown up work.
Speaker 2: You never know, you never know, big big score ones
Speaker 2: this week play.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There was so on Friday of the Storm thirty eight
Speaker 2: to fourteen over the Cowboys, so down in Melbourne.
Speaker 4: Wow, Well Melbourne came out of the blocks at halftime
Speaker 4: it was eighteen to four looking pretty dominant. Cowboys somehow
Speaker 4: came back into it. It was twenty four to fourteen
Speaker 4: at one stage, but then at the end the Storm
Speaker 4: ran away with it. But it wasn't a polished performance
Speaker 4: by the Storm. They're very patchy performances there. They're never
Speaker 4: usually patchy, they're usually consistent. But yeah, I can see
Speaker 4: a few little patches there, but it's complacency. I don't know.
Speaker 4: But they're not the same storm as other years, that's
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 1: Not the state, not the same storm as others. Colla
Speaker 1: and I don't think this is about the storm still
Speaker 1: not playing well, that's okay, Nelson, maybe we'll come back.
Speaker 1: He Nelson, You know what he started and he needed
Speaker 1: to run.
Speaker 4: So I liked it.
Speaker 1: And at some stages he looked absolutely devastated. In other
Speaker 1: stages he got it. He got a bit tight and
Speaker 1: it didn't look still eight points. That's what I mean exactly,
Speaker 1: storm storm. You know, you know when you're you know
Speaker 1: you're you've got a good team. When you don't play
Speaker 1: well and you stormin nicol And I say that all
Speaker 1: when when you when you play well, Yeah, we know.
Speaker 5: That's what the That's what they did tell you.
Speaker 1: What if you're a if you're a Cowboys supporter, you'd
Speaker 1: lose your hair, you'd be an alcoholic. Because they like
Speaker 1: they like running with the ball, NiCoT, they like passing
Speaker 1: the ball. They don't like tackling much. I think they
Speaker 1: left their shoulders on the plane. They just left their
Speaker 1: shoulders on the plane because they're not a fan of tackling.
Speaker 1: They had more ball, they had more ball in their
Speaker 1: good their good ball area, and they still couldn't score
Speaker 1: a try. Every time the Storm got down to the
Speaker 1: their good ball or North Queensland's bad ball, they would
Speaker 1: score every time. I mean, Scott drink Water Water scored
Speaker 1: an amazing try. He also letting three others.
Speaker 2: You know, so what do you do?
Speaker 1: The The only guy who can really hold his head
Speaker 1: up is probably per Due, and Tommy did and and
Speaker 1: the rest were really really lacking, lacking something again, even
Speaker 1: even their coach, even the coach said that it just
Speaker 1: wasn't good and good enough and he wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight thirty eight fourteen, probably flat as probably flatter
Speaker 1: as the cowboys.
Speaker 4: But when they're good, they're very good. When they horrid,
Speaker 4: they're horrible.
Speaker 1: And the Storm, look, John Christ was going off in
Speaker 1: the box and going off at him and I understand why,
Speaker 1: but this is what they did there.
Speaker 2: Apparently apparently Todd Peyton Spray was off the charts at
Speaker 2: half time.
Speaker 5: Top and you know what they deserved it, They deserved it.
Speaker 1: The report, you know, halftime report, you know they say,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to kick out the young reporters.
Speaker 5: The other thing, they just said that what's the coach's
Speaker 5: name again? Peyton said he's not very happy was the
Speaker 5: report half to report? Yeah, what can I say?
Speaker 1: There's not much to say about this game. You didn't
Speaker 1: reach any great heights. Didn't reach any great heights.
Speaker 4: Uh, one of the best backgrounds I think going around
Speaker 4: at least Katawa for the storm he got the three points,
Speaker 4: Jerome Hughes got the two, and Drinking got the one
Speaker 4: point for the Cows. He was trying hard in attack,
Speaker 4: but he was trying, he was trying.
Speaker 2: But yeah, all of them good stuff. The second Friday game,
Speaker 2: talk about it.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, this is this is the outstanding.
Speaker 2: We've all been there. Next, we've all been there. Dolphins
Speaker 2: fifty six Draion six up at some court. No boy,
Speaker 2: it was Yeah, it was all one way traffic.
Speaker 4: Wasn't it good for my dream team because I've got
Speaker 4: a SKA. But look, Dolphins. I tip Dolphins to win.
Speaker 4: They are very underestimated. I think they are a better
Speaker 4: team than people think. They were very unlucky start of
Speaker 4: the year with a hurricane or whatever it was, the cyclones,
Speaker 4: But on paper, it's a very very good squad, their
Speaker 4: back lines sensational, Boss Stock, your Man, Boss Hog and
Speaker 4: farm Worth and they're all playing fantastic. Sarco is playing
Speaker 4: well with the hammer. This is a time to watch.
Speaker 4: You gotta you've got to play them to beat them.
Speaker 4: You can't just turn up up against his team. They'll
Speaker 4: smash if you don't. The best young half around, he
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. Yes, yes, he's just wells and yeah, and
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm dying to see. I am dying
Speaker 4: to see them on the back foot. I think with
Speaker 4: his style he can play off the back foot. I've
Speaker 4: ever seen one half back do it in my life.
Speaker 4: One half back play off.
Speaker 1: The back foot. That's a long time ago. So you
Speaker 1: know what, I've got this gut feeling he can play
Speaker 1: off the back foot. But right at this moment, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's pretty close to the best half back without the experience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other two have got experienced the law. The better
Speaker 1: halfback we've got, Yeah, we've got.
Speaker 5: Sorry.
Speaker 4: As for Saint George, being a fan is the most
Speaker 4: disgusting performance I've ever seen. They're an awful team. I'm
Speaker 4: not a fan of the of the heart, of the
Speaker 4: of the centers. To be honest, surely he's made one
Speaker 4: line break the whole season. He's tackling. His defense might
Speaker 4: be okay, but I haven't seen nothing in attack from
Speaker 4: that guy. We had smaller guys like Mark Coin and
Speaker 4: all these guys making more breaks than that this guy does.
Speaker 4: The guy is huge, surely should be making so many
Speaker 4: more breaks, but he doesn't. But it's not all soull
Speaker 4: his fault. It's the whole team's fault. That was all
Speaker 4: terrible Flannagan picking the money Man who had hamstrings injuries
Speaker 4: and lasting five minutes and then having to put cook
Speaker 4: it at the wind, that's just Flanning. That was That
Speaker 4: was very poor coaching from Flannagain, very we do. We
Speaker 4: had Sloan, we had the other kid, Fenu fin now,
Speaker 4: but gamestring injury.
Speaker 2: Cook experiment in the center has happened in Origin.
Speaker 4: Then and trust me, Nicola, it didn't work on Saturday night.
Speaker 2: But he's exposed. He's exposed.
Speaker 4: Money man's got hamstring injuries, like White playing make sure
Speaker 4: he's one hundred percent fit. Obviously the last ten minutes
Speaker 4: he wasn't so. And fel Hams is having a pretty ordinary,
Speaker 4: to be honest, and pretty ordinary season he's making a
Speaker 4: lot of mistakes. I'm surprised he got picked for coins
Speaker 4: and to be honest on his form. But yeah, disappointing
Speaker 4: for the Dragons, our first flogging, really because we've been
Speaker 4: pretty close in all the other games. But this was terrible,
Speaker 4: long year for the Dragons. We're going to fight this
Speaker 4: spooning again.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. But look, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if they were ready or I don't think. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if I were prepared for the game. But there
Speaker 1: was some disappointing performances on the Dragon side. They really
Speaker 1: picked on Carl, Flannag and Nicola. I actually shore sorry
Speaker 1: for Carl, just sorry, just spotted him up every time
Speaker 1: and ran massive forwards to him. I actually felt for
Speaker 1: Car this time. I actually fell for him. How they
Speaker 1: how they will working him over? They haven't worked over
Speaker 1: homes and and and I'm saying more positive things about
Speaker 1: the Fins than Saint George. They just crumbled through the pressure.
Speaker 1: Through the pressure. They just crumbled. I'm not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about St. George because they're up and down and there's
Speaker 1: some issues there. There are working in their work in
Speaker 1: progress that you need some kids.
Speaker 4: To come through.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: I mean, Laurie's got to go. I've got to go.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're getting too much out of too
Speaker 1: much out of Luciano Lazy, even even Mariner's. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: got a question over the pack. But let's let's forget that.
Speaker 1: And Cookie. I think he probably pulled the wrong rain
Speaker 1: when he bought Cookie. I get, I get, I get
Speaker 1: has been good tries every week. But little little three
Speaker 1: signed today that I thought that you were going to
Speaker 1: lose a little Yeah, but thank god, thank god. Look,
Speaker 1: just push more of the kids up and just wait.
Speaker 1: That's the waiting game.
Speaker 5: The Fins.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: And it was right when the year started. I was
Speaker 5: actually worried about the Fins.
Speaker 4: I mean, they couldn't have been trained on their ground.
Speaker 1: They couldn't trained like the coach after super coach always
Speaker 1: has issues. They looked like they had no leg speed
Speaker 1: in the middle. That didn't look physical. This is a
Speaker 1: team that you can see that's being coached so well, yeah.
Speaker 5: Wolfe, yes, so well, he's such a good coach. And
Speaker 5: let me explain to you. We've seen that I call
Speaker 5: it the youngster ball.
Speaker 1: How surroundos are sort of not change the game, but
Speaker 1: he's playing a different style.
Speaker 5: So is a paramount.
Speaker 4: So is Jason.
Speaker 1: Jason started to play a sort of different sort of form.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean he liked he likes a bit
Speaker 1: of power, but he likes spreading the border. Go forward
Speaker 1: and the youngsters are playing a different as the game evolves,
Speaker 1: and so so is Manly. He the professor is trying
Speaker 1: to play a sort of a hybrid game of like that,
Speaker 1: the Finns coach has developed a brand new style, a
Speaker 1: completely different style of play. Abously, a completely different style.
Speaker 1: Why because you've got someone called Katoa. When you've got
Speaker 1: someone called Katoa, you can do whatever you can. Really,
Speaker 1: you can rearrange the deck chairs on anything. It works
Speaker 1: because you you've got him, big physical. The pack just rolls.
Speaker 1: When the minute that Katoa goes forward into the line,
Speaker 1: props goes again. It changes the pace of the tackle
Speaker 1: that it collapses. The defense goes out the back all
Speaker 1: of a sudden. Not only they're on the outside shoulders,
Speaker 1: the line short enough every time the line has to scramble.
Speaker 5: How how does he do it? He's twenty one years old.
Speaker 1: It takes It takes all the other halfbacks and even
Speaker 1: even Nathan does it with a system around him. There's
Speaker 1: no system here. It's it's a very simple system. They're
Speaker 1: all just running straight. It's it's, it's it's truly, truly, truly,
Speaker 1: truly an amazing team. They've got some injuries now, but
Speaker 1: this team will make the eighth and and and they're
Speaker 1: they're very good.
Speaker 4: He's a very good coach. Nick Arema's been a good
Speaker 4: fold to him.
Speaker 1: Nick Aremas loving being outside of No No No when
Speaker 1: he played so well, Nick Arenas loving being outside of
Speaker 1: Katawa Star. And not only that, the forwards are running
Speaker 1: running off, running off him, and Katawa is taking the
Speaker 1: heat off them because because they're all the defenses is
Speaker 1: focused on Katawa. Because he goes even so deep into
Speaker 1: the line, like JT deep into the line, the plays
Speaker 1: in the line is semi collapse the line. It's it's something.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy watching him play. I really enjoy watching
Speaker 1: him play. And he keeps on getting better, and every
Speaker 1: week he keeps on g better and better. And I
Speaker 1: don't have the seling for this kid. I really don't
Speaker 1: have the ceiling for him. Okay Osaka, you called it.
Speaker 1: Continue to have a great game. You know what Jacob. Really,
Speaker 1: he's a fucking good player.
Speaker 5: Didn't need him, didn't want him. He's okay, you know
Speaker 5: Herbie Farm's work.
Speaker 4: He's the best.
Speaker 1: Ak without him, now, okay, Herby Herby Farmer's work. The
Speaker 1: shame his English because let me tell you, he's probably
Speaker 1: the best center of the game.
Speaker 5: He's the best.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe not the best defensive center in the game,
Speaker 1: but he's the best center in the in the game.
Speaker 1: You know what, Boss, one of Nicola's favorite or guess
Speaker 1: what I'm on board, was really good and his pack
Speaker 1: and unfortunately they've they've come down with some injuries now,
Speaker 1: but this pack is such a hard working pack. Marshall
Speaker 1: King is a big inclusion because he takes he he
Speaker 1: takes heat of Katawa, so they've they've slipped off Katawa
Speaker 1: into King. Then he passes the Katawa so he's broken
Speaker 1: down at the A and bit of the B. He's
Speaker 1: going uh B c's and all of a sudden the
Speaker 1: line is shortened. It's it's beautiful to watch. I havep
Speaker 1: it continues on the Max Plath love it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what he's on the Queensland team. If you want,
Speaker 1: if you want aggression, Max plat I love him. I
Speaker 1: love this game. You know what the fifty six points
Speaker 1: any if you played the same you would no one's
Speaker 1: off the six points against you. But they just grind
Speaker 1: you out of the game. They just keep the relentles, relentless, relentless.
Speaker 1: They get you into a corner. You have to come
Speaker 1: out relents relentless, even CONFUSI his it looks like a
Speaker 1: twenty year old, and he was a twenty year old. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to stop because I just I wanted to
Speaker 1: come because I'm really loving Humana.
Speaker 5: I love him. All be the points.
Speaker 4: You know what depressed me? Want to watch dolphins? No,
Speaker 4: not like you watch bos Stock and then you watch
Speaker 4: Tamorlaw and then you watch Lomax and you think George
Speaker 4: could have had a Center's Bosstomax Tomalae. Instead we got
Speaker 4: Sloan Souley and and what's the name and Revla who's
Speaker 4: the bloody Scouts? And George whoever he is, he's bloody hopeless.
Speaker 4: But Herbie Farmer's got the three points, Jack boss Stock
Speaker 4: of the two see it is Mike, and.
Speaker 2: Here you got the one good stuff. The next game
Speaker 2: was a little surprising. The Sharks at home, went down
Speaker 2: forty points ten against the Warriors. I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 4: You're the only one who said he tipped, well, tip
Speaker 4: the Warriors, did you know? Yeah, an idiot, but the
Speaker 4: same Yeah, because I'm playing in the prison, so you
Speaker 4: think the Sharks are gonna win but the Warriors.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, Nick?
Speaker 2: Who was speaking more? Expected more?
Speaker 4: Exactly what's happening with the Sharks? What is happening with
Speaker 4: the Sharks?
Speaker 1: Look?
Speaker 2: I mean the Warriors. How do the Warriors?
Speaker 4: They were fantastic and at half time it was twelve ten,
Speaker 4: so the Warriors put a clinic on him. In the
Speaker 4: second half they scored thirty odd points.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these games were close at halftime.
Speaker 4: Except for the except for one anyway, but Fisher Harris
Speaker 4: had an outstanding game. Right and missing Mitch Barnett. Now,
Speaker 4: what's happened? Did you see that? There was a meme
Speaker 4: that was going around Facebook and it was Adam for
Speaker 4: nor Black looking for a release on compassionate grounds to
Speaker 4: return to the Warriors.
Speaker 5: Did that last year?
Speaker 4: It was the meme going round because the fish is
Speaker 4: killing right? It was a g Yeah, but yeah, they
Speaker 4: played really well. Chanel Harris Metcalf, Kronola Junior. But how
Speaker 4: Knola Junior, he's playing fantastic. Yeah, they looked terrible all
Speaker 4: of a sudden in ten weeks it was lost two games.
Speaker 4: Faith it was only the Bakers came where they were flocked.
Speaker 4: They looked were terrible and I think they to Canberra
Speaker 4: and I think they've lost some big teams like they haven't.
Speaker 4: They've been unlucky. They've been really good side the works
Speaker 4: and one of the hardest seems to break down apparently.
Speaker 4: But credit to Webster who he continues to keep on
Speaker 4: giving us.
Speaker 2: Some And I'm going to say full disclosure, I didn't
Speaker 2: see any of the Saturday games because I was at
Speaker 2: I was at a fiftieth up a terrible over the weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I didn't see any of the games. And shout
Speaker 2: out to Robbo who was teaching me how to play
Speaker 2: darts at about two o'clock in the morning. It was
Speaker 2: about twelve hours after we started drinking, and one of
Speaker 2: my darts went over the fence, so that would have
Speaker 2: been interesting for the next time. Defense was nowhere needed upward.
Speaker 2: But that's so Yeah, I'm relying on you guys telling
Speaker 2: what happened.
Speaker 4: I've got I've got a new men brush. I want
Speaker 4: you to pay attention to this one player every time
Speaker 4: you watch the Worries. His name's le Nick watched this guy.
Speaker 4: He is an absolute machine.
Speaker 5: I love this guy.
Speaker 4: Just keep an eye on him.
Speaker 2: Hea.
Speaker 1: He's a he's a young man the future. He's a
Speaker 1: young man, and the Fish has taken him under his wing.
Speaker 1: And whatever the fish does, he does twice as much.
Speaker 2: He's young.
Speaker 1: Actually, I heard Webster who talk and Webster who said
Speaker 1: that the fish like like Pretter Canoby. He's absolutely changed
Speaker 1: the whole culture at the club. The young forwards apparently
Speaker 1: are in awe of him. And when Fish said there's jump,
Speaker 1: they all jump. Wow, they all jump. And the senior
Speaker 1: players are even even a gidiot. The senior players are
Speaker 1: even getting inspired by him. That's that's and and you
Speaker 1: wonder sometimes how did pen win four rings when you
Speaker 1: had so many leaders in the team. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: can see when they leave, when they leave clubs. But
Speaker 1: this particular game, you said it close close to the
Speaker 1: first half, and I thought we're in for a good
Speaker 1: game here.
Speaker 4: Cornelo.
Speaker 1: Ill doing their best. I was trying to hang into
Speaker 1: the hang in the game. But when the second game,
Speaker 1: the second half came, Nicole. And now let me tell
Speaker 1: you this, This Warriors team is a very well coached team,
Speaker 1: a very very well crouched team. They're the new soul
Speaker 1: Takers because they dismantle you slowly, just slowly.
Speaker 4: They dismantled you with precision, slowly, slowly they kick.
Speaker 1: They kick in the corners. Then the second tackle, the
Speaker 1: tackle two they absolutely ram. Okay, they just keep on
Speaker 1: coming in waves. Then you've got to kick out. Guess what,
Speaker 1: you don't kick out too far because you're kicking into
Speaker 1: your in your twenty Okay. Then then comes the fish.
Speaker 1: Now they bought for no Blake as the big tough man.
Speaker 1: Who's going who's going to win them a competition? Well,
Speaker 1: I guess what. There's a guy on the other side
Speaker 1: called James Fisher Harris who absolutely baffed him. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen uh a four front a front row jewel like this,
Speaker 1: and I haven't seen a guy like Fisher Harris dominate
Speaker 1: another front row at phenoal Blake Blake not saying he
Speaker 1: got scared. Let me tell you who was looking for
Speaker 1: fish in the line, absolutely baffing And guess what the youngsters.
Speaker 1: The youngsters just jump on board. We talked about Metcalfe
Speaker 1: and and Chanel Harris, uh there ten weeks ago. They
Speaker 1: look like Reggie players. How how they look one's one's
Speaker 1: leading to Delian and the and the other one is
Speaker 1: doing his kicks and and and and just complimenting. Metcalf
Speaker 1: is beyond me. Roger looks like Roger with a rooster
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, doesn't he He's he's great.
Speaker 4: And guess I guess.
Speaker 1: Nickel Nickel klo Nickel Klotstad And I'm talking about coming
Speaker 1: out of coming out of dirty ball. He runs for
Speaker 1: three hundred meters hundred and every week and every week.
Speaker 1: When you've got when you got Dylan Dylan, Rick James,
Speaker 1: and you've got Nicol Klaus that coming out of dirty ball,
Speaker 1: and then you give it to your forwards or even Roger,
Speaker 1: you're on the front foot straight away. This is this
Speaker 1: is a dangerous team. They're in a window. They're a
Speaker 1: well coached team. That defense is amazing. Caranola got problems. Ranola,
Speaker 1: there's Fitz has got to make some hard decisions now
Speaker 1: because they're forwards look pedestrian. The forwards look like they
Speaker 1: were running away from the challenge. If they think they
Speaker 1: can move the ball sideways to go forwards, well, guess what.
Speaker 1: Maybe Canary can do it, maybe Paramatic can do it.
Speaker 1: But guess what, they can't do it because they're running
Speaker 1: away from from the real issue, which is in the middle.
Speaker 1: Bitsy do something. It's funny because Brandon Trindle got the
Speaker 1: big the big money last year because they thought he
Speaker 1: was the one, and and he hasn't showed himself all year.
Speaker 1: He's running and hiding. I'm again feeling for Nick because
Speaker 1: for a month he was looking the goods and he
Speaker 1: was running and hiding again on on Saturday and this
Speaker 1: forward pack, Nicola was missing. We talked about for no Blake.
Speaker 1: They've got some they've got's got some some big questions
Speaker 1: to answer, Nicole.
Speaker 2: And and.
Speaker 1: He's got a can't play as simple he's got he's
Speaker 1: got he's got to shake it up. He's got to
Speaker 1: shake it up. He's got to do something to get
Speaker 1: him on the track. Because I thought they're in the
Speaker 1: window there, they're in no window.
Speaker 4: They're in no window. And and and we call them
Speaker 4: flat track bullies, that's exactly what they are. But they've
Speaker 4: got bully on the weekend.
Speaker 1: I love, by the way, I love this game. I
Speaker 1: love seen physical, physical rugby league.
Speaker 4: And it was so good, so good, three two, one.
Speaker 4: Look there's one player to look out for. What's dimetric
Speaker 4: omaga as well?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeh from the worst week another good forward. Okay, three
Speaker 4: points went to the Fish, absolutely outstanding. Chanel Harris Tavita
Speaker 4: got the two and Luke metcalf for the one.
Speaker 2: How good Tea being here?
Speaker 4: Fantastic A later.
Speaker 1: Order game for Actually, yeah, but the fish was oh
Speaker 1: fish was fish fine of bearing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Fisher Harris just fine of bearing. And I tried to
Speaker 1: take the whole crl and pack on by himself. His
Speaker 1: eyes turn turn around.
Speaker 4: And because but wasn't there, he sort of took it upon.
Speaker 5: Absolutely he's crazy.
Speaker 2: Rounding off the Saturday night was the Broncos back at
Speaker 2: sond Corp Stadium, twenty four hours after the Dolphins forty
Speaker 2: four points to fourteen over the hapless Titans. Daisy under pressure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to be.
Speaker 2: What's going on there?
Speaker 5: I don't know, But you know what, you can't sort
Speaker 5: it out. I don't know what coach can.
Speaker 2: So in Brisbane after four in the trot they had
Speaker 2: to rebound.
Speaker 4: They had to read, oh, looks on thet you want
Speaker 4: to go first. Yeah, look at Brisbane as well, they
Speaker 4: had to rebound, but they did another camp what they
Speaker 4: did the can in the first half. They scored twenty
Speaker 4: eight points in the first half, nearly thirty points. It's
Speaker 4: fantastic performance. But McGuire, this is the first time he
Speaker 4: said Ruce Walsh man Reynolds on the field. It was
Speaker 4: Reynolds three the game two as well. They forget a
Speaker 4: special game for Reynolds, but it was the first time
Speaker 4: he was able to run out his best point. Look
Speaker 4: at Hooker would probably complement that in the end, but
Speaker 4: in a match having the arsenal there to finally implement
Speaker 4: what he's got, it showed what they can do. Will
Speaker 4: they do it again next week, we don't know, but
Speaker 4: hopefully they will. They're a dangerous team. Titans terrible, Wooden
Speaker 4: spins looking very good. Desi got to be under the pump.
Speaker 4: It's a shame he's got to be under the pump.
Speaker 4: But I'm dying to talking about Desi and his Titans
Speaker 4: in the second but I gotta talk about the Bronx. Welcome, Welcome, Broncos.
Speaker 4: We've been waiting for this, The whole rugby league world
Speaker 4: has been waiting.
Speaker 1: For this, or yeah, welcome to the to the comp
Speaker 1: Even even when I was watching Super League, they mentioned
Speaker 1: the Broncos and how how, yeah, how well they went
Speaker 1: uh from the first take on Nicola, they came out
Speaker 1: and they meant business, the running, the running, so every
Speaker 1: time they grabbed the ball they wanted to hurt somebody
Speaker 1: with ball in hand. It was beautiful to watch, absolutely
Speaker 1: beautiful to watch catainy stags.
Speaker 4: Where is this?
Speaker 5: Where was this? Forms a wrecking ball? He was a
Speaker 5: wrecking ball.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you about rees. Reese's energy is infectious.
Speaker 1: He goes through the whole team, case, through the whole team,
Speaker 1: and inspired move by the coach moving Carrigan into Locke
Speaker 1: so that means he's next to Man a little bit wider.
Speaker 1: So they had Man had what's his name Carrigan on
Speaker 1: one side and Walsh on the other side, either next
Speaker 1: to him or sweet sweeping. It was inspired, It was
Speaker 1: dangerous and the Chinese guy or the Japanese Shivasaki got
Speaker 1: all the benefits from that.
Speaker 5: But what I liked about it their intent.
Speaker 1: They meant business, and I haven't seen a team all
Speaker 1: year play at that level on maybe the one half
Speaker 1: against Canterbury, the first half against Canby. Then they dropped off.
Speaker 1: But this was more than that. They played more than
Speaker 1: forty minutes here. They played probably sixteen minutes until they
Speaker 1: knew it was over.
Speaker 5: That was good.
Speaker 4: That were scary good.
Speaker 1: Now, Nicole and if they keep on this, and they
Speaker 1: should keep I can't see why they shouldn't do this.
Speaker 1: Ricky was back. Ricky was back in action. I love Ricky,
Speaker 1: I love Jordan Ricky, and he's been missing in action
Speaker 1: for for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: But guess what. He wasn't missing in action. He was
Speaker 5: hitting every holy can paint. Hush my god. He's not human.
Speaker 5: He's not human. He's not human.
Speaker 1: But you know they say that, you know, they talk
Speaker 1: about him and Lazarus and they say, if he keeps
Speaker 1: on playing like this, who he will become like into Lazarus?
Speaker 6: Sort of, I think, guess what, uh uh past Lazarus.
Speaker 6: Lazarus didn't do what Plain Huse is doing. Lazarus was
Speaker 6: very good, very very good. But guess what in terms
Speaker 6: of athleticism can't do it, doesn't do it, has didn't
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 2: He's twenty two completely different style players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what what they what they're talking about comparing
Speaker 1: to is not the play, but sort of the status
Speaker 1: of him, what he's.
Speaker 2: Done, premierships at three different clubs.
Speaker 5: Did he did? He did?
Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give him that. I'll give him that.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about play. I mean, I'm a massive
Speaker 1: laser I'm a massive laser fan. But paying huss not human,
Speaker 1: not human. Don't were outstanding, No, Nicola. They were a
Speaker 1: wrecking machine. They were trying to hurt you with the
Speaker 1: ball in their hand, which I loved. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: understand that. I don't know why the culture must be
Speaker 1: so inbreded in that club, so deeply seated that even Daisy,
Speaker 1: now we know his track record. I thought the second
Speaker 1: season he would have this straightened out. But be competitive,
Speaker 1: because when you see them on paper, Brimston, Kelly Sami,
Speaker 1: you think, well, they are a fringe.
Speaker 4: Eighteen is Cameel Giller played played. He was been a
Speaker 4: good signing, hasn't.
Speaker 2: He He was?
Speaker 1: He's been great. Actually, you know what, he's not the problem.
Speaker 1: He's been He's been Okay. Tina was the only really
Speaker 1: good player. Tina killed himself. That poor guy. He absolutely
Speaker 1: killed himself, Nicola and your man crushed. Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: there's problems, and I have no answers. I have no
Speaker 1: answers to Nicola, and I don't even know. I don't
Speaker 1: even think that he's got answers. And that's the sad thing.
Speaker 1: And when you say he's under pressure, he's definitely under pressure. Actually,
Speaker 1: actually another one from the Broncos. I really enjoyed Corey
Speaker 1: Jensen's game front rower. So they put Carrigan that lock
Speaker 1: and he took Carrigan's job. He shouldn't, he shouldn't change
Speaker 1: the team.
Speaker 2: This is it.
Speaker 5: This is the team. This is the team, and let him,
Speaker 5: let him, let him go. This is this is it.
Speaker 1: This is the one and three hundred games for Reynolds
Speaker 1: from through all the injuries and all the years. Good
Speaker 1: on him, Good on him because it's a long way.
Speaker 1: Is that.
Speaker 4: Quite a few injuries after the Grand Finals South Grandfint
Speaker 4: and he had a couple of years out, so he'd
Speaker 4: be up to three fifty if he would.
Speaker 1: Be he would he would be fifty. So that's that's
Speaker 1: what's trying to say. Through all the injuries and all
Speaker 1: the all the bits and pieces. He's gone through. Good one.
Speaker 4: Tony Steak's got the three points, pain Hauss gets the tube. Mate.
Speaker 4: That guy never misses a point from Annoy and Reese
Speaker 4: Walsh making his return got a point.
Speaker 5: He was pretty good.
Speaker 1: His energy is infectious. I mean, at one stage when
Speaker 1: they scored a try, you could see he was the
Speaker 1: first one there jumping on and congratulated, congratulating the I
Speaker 1: think it was a ship for psarchy and you can
Speaker 1: see that he just ran through the whole team. And
Speaker 1: and his acceleration. When Man's got Reese on his on
Speaker 1: his left because he plays plays left, okay, he knows
Speaker 1: how to those two are so in sync. He can
Speaker 1: pull the line and again Israel Man's got this this
Speaker 1: unique ability to to hips hips sides shoulder square and
Speaker 1: the defense think. The defenders think is coming straight, but
Speaker 1: he's actually drifting. And then he goes bang. He's got
Speaker 1: so much acceleration and he's running in an outline. So
Speaker 1: he's he's got he's got this talent. He's got a
Speaker 1: talent here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And I did say the rest of the years.
Speaker 2: So on Sunday, this was a cracker. The Raiders and
Speaker 2: the Rabbits thirty six points to twelve. Camber home Rabbits
Speaker 2: that got out to a twelve year lead. Yeah, one
Speaker 2: half from Josh Perpali playing his three hundred scored a double. Yeah,
Speaker 2: round nineteenth, three hundred and eighteenth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he breake the he's the.
Speaker 5: Highest break he breaks, he break toots record.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was there that night. Yeah, that was a lost
Speaker 2: to New Zealand. Actually two years ago yesterday was it? Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I saw the Facebook movie You and You two
Speaker 2: years ago. Monday, I should say.
Speaker 1: Monday You're in conwent down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: that day. It was a cold It was a cold
Speaker 1: night too.
Speaker 2: It always easy Chamber. But yeah, big performance from the Raiders.
Speaker 2: I mean, just looking good in the first half. But
Speaker 2: the Raiders, man, they've got something special this year. And
Speaker 2: I'm going to put my hands up because at the
Speaker 2: start of the season I didn't give them a chance.
Speaker 2: But geez have been good. What do you go for me?
Speaker 4: Ricky is building something very special. They've had no buys yet.
Speaker 4: They they've gone to Vegas, Cans, Northern Territory, They've gone
Speaker 4: all over New Zealand, so they've traveled five different countries
Speaker 4: and states, or whatever it is, so a lot of traveling,
Speaker 4: played thirteen or fourteen games, no buyers, and they're two
Speaker 4: points from the top, so what it seemed. But Ricky's
Speaker 4: building something special here. Ethan Strange was phenomenal. I think
Speaker 4: he's one who pull them back into the game with
Speaker 4: a couple of really individual enformances. Fantastic player. Papali hit
Speaker 4: his three hundred and eighteenth, so the way he kicked
Speaker 4: the goal at the end like a professional, so smooth.
Speaker 4: He looks so good. And then they zoomed to Ricky
Speaker 4: Stewart and no Ja, the guy was crying. You could
Speaker 4: see Ricky crime in the emotion in the guy. They're
Speaker 4: playing with full emotion. That's what I love about the Raiders.
Speaker 4: And at twelve six down, whatever RICKI said to me
Speaker 4: a halftime, they came out and they did it for Papati.
Speaker 4: You can just tell they're a same that just play
Speaker 4: for each other and there's something special, brilliant the Raiders.
Speaker 1: You know what they say, usually a team reflects their coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and this this team definitely reflects their coach.
Speaker 1: They're they're they're but they're both seas, but they're very easy.
Speaker 1: They're very they're very, very emotional rugby league team, and
Speaker 1: I really enjoy watching them because they're they're very physical
Speaker 1: and because they're emotional like the Warriors. I love watching
Speaker 1: that type of rugby leage because it reminds me of
Speaker 1: a of a period back in the eighties where where
Speaker 1: Caribby and Paramount had along a four year dual sort
Speaker 1: of thing, you know I mean, and that was exactly
Speaker 1: the same sort of scenario there on this game. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go too much about selves selves.
Speaker 4: Do you know what, George. At the study of the game,
Speaker 4: everyone had him to come bottom forward. I thought they're
Speaker 4: not going to do surprising to be in the top eight,
Speaker 4: don't make. It's amazing they'll make. You've got to give
Speaker 4: it to them. There's there're at least challenging other teams
Speaker 4: and not and they're getting the trips back slowly walkers
Speaker 4: out again. But once they get cam Murray in, I
Speaker 4: don't think they're going to get him mother.
Speaker 2: They're not going to have him this year.
Speaker 4: That's a shame.
Speaker 1: You know what they didn't They didn't play terrible, They
Speaker 1: didn't play terrible, just just the camera on a on
Speaker 1: a different different on a different on a different platform.
Speaker 1: And and I'm just going to say, I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about one thing. We we we've we've waxed lyrical.
Speaker 1: How good they are. I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: youngsters and Josh's Josh's two tries. Oh and Paddy had
Speaker 1: had come on at that stage, and it was near
Speaker 1: the line, and he's come out and he's isolated Big
Speaker 1: Papa on a half.
Speaker 5: That's really good. Then the second try. Look at this,
Speaker 5: How how old is Paddy had?
Speaker 4: Twenty?
Speaker 5: I think we saw twenty one and twenty one.
Speaker 1: He came out, he came he came out. Now the
Speaker 1: seed defender, okay, he doesn't expect to make a table.
Speaker 5: So his heads on a swivel.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's come out, he's engaged the two a's and b's. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's looked at he's looked at the he's looked at
Speaker 1: the seed defender. He's had him, he's had him on
Speaker 1: a swivel in cement, okay, and he's he's past it
Speaker 1: to Big Papa last second. But because he was in
Speaker 1: cement and his head was on a swivel, he just
Speaker 1: went straight over him. Now it sounds simple when I
Speaker 1: say it but when you see what he did and
Speaker 1: how skillful.
Speaker 5: That is, he's a.
Speaker 4: He's probably the second best hooker in the corn something
Speaker 4: you now, and he hasn't played rugby league, he hasn't played.
Speaker 1: First And you know what's scary? What what Ricky has
Speaker 1: got underneath? He's fucking scary. He's been buying three years
Speaker 1: under seventeen, started Origin teams.
Speaker 5: No great idea big good nic. God, they're in a window.
Speaker 5: There is no window thirty six to twelve.
Speaker 2: Well they had first spot for a while. Yeah, one night,
Speaker 2: you know, the.
Speaker 5: One more games than the Bulldogs they have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Uh, Ethan's strange. Did you want to talk to
Speaker 4: anything else now?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: No, that just just that that was That was so cool.
Speaker 5: I saw that was so cool. He had him, He
Speaker 5: had him in incinment animous wivel. It was so cool.
Speaker 4: Ethan's strange. He got three points for that one. Josh
Speaker 4: Papalii got the two points since sotional performance and Calum
Speaker 4: A Tangi from the Rabbit Oz tried hard or game
Speaker 4: very well.
Speaker 2: And he got the one very good ranny. At Sunday
Speaker 2: afternoon at Combak Stadium, Panthers eighteen points to fourteen over
Speaker 2: the Tigers close one.
Speaker 4: It was three trays each.
Speaker 5: Yeah, entertaining as well, very entertaining game.
Speaker 2: I mean the Panthers, they're just not the Panthers anymore,
Speaker 2: are they?
Speaker 4: What do you go for me?
Speaker 5: You watch it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I did.
Speaker 4: I watched parts of it. But there was a good
Speaker 4: little drill between Cleary versus lou Lou. I got him
Speaker 4: a good one, didn't he. I tried hard. I nearly
Speaker 4: want it in the end, it wasn't for Dylan Edwards
Speaker 4: taking those bombs and they was sons and tackle right
Speaker 4: on the line right at the end. Tigers win that game.
Speaker 4: So that's how close they came. They were literally millimeters away.
Speaker 4: I think Buller was millimeters away from scoring right at
Speaker 4: the death off a kick. But look, Tigers, you've got
Speaker 4: to give them credit. They stayed in the game. I'll
Speaker 4: kicking them down as far. I think they was probably
Speaker 4: the better team.
Speaker 5: That saying the better team probably didn't win this game. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was just some some little things.
Speaker 1: Like the sirens and table that was and Dylan Edwards
Speaker 1: which got him out of trouble. Now, Penriff, look some
Speaker 1: of the some of the young kids are starting starting
Speaker 1: slowly to look a bit like a bit like Panthers.
Speaker 1: I still say that Dylan Edwards is on one leg.
Speaker 1: I still say that I can't believe he's playing. I
Speaker 1: would have set him out for the origin. Nathan's is
Speaker 1: trying to harvele for Panthers. He's trying too hard. He's
Speaker 1: trying to do everything, and he can't do everything. He
Speaker 1: tries to put his hand into everything. The youngsters, like
Speaker 1: McClain again, they're starting they're starting to look a bit,
Speaker 1: a bit more like Panthers.
Speaker 4: You told me about that Jenkins ARTI mate, the girls
Speaker 4: were kind of playing. All he wanted to achieve this
Speaker 4: year was making into the knock on effect and ended
Speaker 4: up playing first grade piece. He scored a hat trick.
Speaker 4: But one thing I just want to quickly mention about
Speaker 4: the Tigers, right, You've got to feel for the Tigers
Speaker 4: because you've got to think if Lachland Galvin probably was
Speaker 4: part of that team, they probably beat Penrith and Benji
Speaker 4: is planning for the future and had had him as
Speaker 4: his five eight NIX.
Speaker 2: That's four losses and the tu for them too.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, so losing they're the top of games of
Speaker 4: Tigers really confused. Unfortunately, but you think of it this way,
Speaker 4: think of it this way. They can't.
Speaker 1: They've had a few wooden spoons this year. They're not
Speaker 1: going to make the eight, but there'll be ten to eleven.
Speaker 1: So yeah, really good year. Absolutely, that's a pretty good
Speaker 1: gem and building.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Panthers, Panthers. Yeah, Thomas Jenkins.
Speaker 5: Jenkins Jenkins uh.
Speaker 1: Leolda is starting to get back to some of his
Speaker 1: best form. Scott Sorenson. You know what you don't see Scott,
Speaker 1: but what he does cleans up all those little things.
Speaker 1: But he just said that he saved match match winning try. Actually,
Speaker 1: so he he's doing great, yes, and and and he's
Speaker 1: actually starting to hit some form. He's been battling it
Speaker 1: in and out trying to hit some form. So you
Speaker 1: know what, they had to win, had to win, and
Speaker 1: they won. Now any more than that future in the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, We've got a good friend. He
Speaker 1: says that they're going to make the eight. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: About one point out of the eighth.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think I'll make the eight,
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. It's it's still wearing me
Speaker 1: halfway through the season. Jerome Bull Bulla is just a
Speaker 1: special human being. He's just going to keep on keep
Speaker 1: on getting better. I love staff for Tower, but I
Speaker 1: think he wants out. They haven't signed him and he's
Speaker 1: looking to explore, and that's not good because he's probably
Speaker 1: one of the best players. Geral Skeleton, I said.
Speaker 4: Tailor Made might be going this, hes going, he's signed,
Speaker 4: so they lose. I'll take Tower and.
Speaker 2: Interesting Taylor Made didn't play in any of those Grand
Speaker 2: Final wins.
Speaker 1: I I I also heard the Super League guys saying
Speaker 1: that the Tyrone Tyrone is agitating to come.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so they all want to play together. So look,
Speaker 1: if that happens, good, I wish the best best for him.
Speaker 1: Gerant Skeleton.
Speaker 4: I like Keleton.
Speaker 1: What's his name, Skelton, we'll call him Skeleton. Gant's Joe
Speaker 1: a lot whatever his name, Skeleton, Skelton. I like him
Speaker 1: at the Bulldogs. I like him even better in Tiger's jersey.
Speaker 1: Happy is happy and Tyler should have won. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying about that. And I know that
Speaker 1: I know that Benji blew up on some of the calls,
Speaker 1: and he's right. And the officiating is terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
Speaker 1: We can't speak about him. He's going to get a fine,
Speaker 1: isn't he? I think so probably? Yeah, he's right morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that was the
Speaker 1: calous for them losing because they did score off of
Speaker 1: one of those one of those issues, one of those penalties.
Speaker 5: But they're on tream one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Anyway, let's move on.
Speaker 2: Will we get to the points?
Speaker 4: Are points for that game there? Let me just have
Speaker 4: a quick sorry about that. Three points went to mister Cleary,
Speaker 4: two points went to Lui and one for Thomas Jenkins.
Speaker 2: Was yeah, one for d cool. And the last game
Speaker 2: in the round, the Monday Public Holiday Bulldogs thirty over
Speaker 2: the I was twelve. How many people were there? Fifty
Speaker 2: sixty thousand, sixty.
Speaker 5: Thousand, sixty something, which is good? And you know what,
Speaker 5: how how good is that?
Speaker 1: And I keep on saying I say once, I say
Speaker 1: it again because it's Canterby, but Canterby, Paramatta, Saint George.
Speaker 1: Some of these teams, if they start h I don't
Speaker 1: know about challenging, but being in the eight, we'll get
Speaker 1: we'll get crowds like this every every week when Paramatta
Speaker 1: and it's just a matter of time because they're actually
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. I think once they start being a
Speaker 1: top top eight, top six, top four team, U se
Speaker 1: paramounta stadium just be full every week. Well I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. But you watch his games, tell us
Speaker 1: your thoughts.
Speaker 2: I mean, I was obviously happy with the first half,
Speaker 2: but in the second half the dogs ran away with it.
Speaker 2: Parent they were hanging in initially, but a lot of
Speaker 2: dumb errors turning over possession. But you know, I guess
Speaker 2: again I was. I was happy with you proving in
Speaker 2: defense and you know they can tested, but they just
Speaker 2: weren't good enough in the end.
Speaker 5: I think Para pretty good.
Speaker 1: Actually, I think, like I keep on saying that they're
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, I think, well, I think that Jason
Speaker 1: Rolves has done an amazing job. I didn't think he'll
Speaker 1: he'll get him at this stage so quick. And I
Speaker 1: do like the style they play. They like I said,
Speaker 1: he's one of those young coaches, the players, that young
Speaker 1: style which I'm starting to starting to enjoy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And they weren't far off, just a few crucial errors
Speaker 1: at some crucial times. And you don't give teams like
Speaker 1: Canterbury because that's what they beat off. That's what they
Speaker 1: live on and live off the top three four teams
Speaker 1: and live off of the other team's errors. And that's
Speaker 1: that's all he was. So if they tire you that
Speaker 1: up there in the hunt and and and they're in
Speaker 1: the hunt big time. I think Junior Polo was was
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Williams just keeps on impressing me. I like
Speaker 1: this kid, Yeah, I really do. Again, a few dumb errors.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. They're a young team.
Speaker 2: And you know what.
Speaker 1: I can I ask about Jermaine Hoffgood he's sort of
Speaker 1: gone off the cliff. Yeah, yeah, I liked him and
Speaker 1: I still like him, and I think there's there's something
Speaker 1: that keeps it keeps on picking it.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you guys a question. And don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, I had nothing to do with the outcome
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But Matt Burton's innocent try the
Speaker 2: first one. Yes, did everyone miss the fact that he
Speaker 2: was standing in an offside position?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: He was standing in the level of the scrum, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: I looked up. I looked up the rule. I said,
Speaker 2: once the scrum begins, how much the scrum half of
Speaker 2: the team non in possessions stand and the answer is
Speaker 2: a take up position with both feet behind the ball.
Speaker 2: He close to the scrum, but not in the space
Speaker 2: between the lock and the flanker, which is exactly where
Speaker 2: he caught the ball. Okay, he got there in about
Speaker 2: half a second.
Speaker 1: It was strange because because I'm looking at a blind slide,
Speaker 1: a short blindslide rate, and all of a sudden I'm
Speaker 1: seeing I'm seeing running the other wag what happened?
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 2: But it was interesting. Two intercepts opened the game.
Speaker 1: Actually, I like I like Mitch's mitches geez quick, jeez quick.
Speaker 1: But you know the best part about Mitch's innocent If
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the tape. Look look
Speaker 1: what's behind and Mitch, there's six blo white jerseys chasing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's that's the Bulldog is a way
Speaker 1: talking about the Bulldogs, same thing.
Speaker 5: They got into the arm wrestle, that got into the fight.
Speaker 1: I had some doubts. I thought, like, you would would
Speaker 1: upset the chemistry of the team. I don't know what
Speaker 1: goes off the field, but on the team, I was wrong.
Speaker 2: On the field, he was great. He's definitely upset chemistry.
Speaker 2: I mean, what what happened there was shocking to me that.
Speaker 2: First of all, you're saw the footage of read Money
Speaker 2: in the locker room, right. What what I can't believe
Speaker 2: is that Sexton didn't know who was going to hook her?
Speaker 2: Didn't Is that not something you trained for in the
Speaker 2: week leading up to the game, where the newest kid
Speaker 2: on the block tells you half back he's changing positions
Speaker 2: so he can replace him. That that's definitely between Sexton
Speaker 2: and Money upset the chemistry in the locker him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you saw the footage. Money is obviously on the
Speaker 2: way out.
Speaker 5: You can say that obviously on the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, probably, probably, But on field, on field, it
Speaker 1: seemed pretty seamless.
Speaker 2: Still, he could stot straight in half back. I reckon,
Speaker 2: you can start straight in.
Speaker 1: I think it will, but let's see what happens. That's
Speaker 1: what happens. But yeah, I thought he might. I thought
Speaker 1: he might affect the chemistry on field. On field, I
Speaker 1: think I think Sorodo is big enough and strong enough
Speaker 1: to sort it out off the off the field thing.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens. See what happens then. Then stylistically,
Speaker 1: I thought that luck he wouldn't fit in because Lucky
Speaker 1: Tigers goes across field a lot, and I've talked about
Speaker 1: he goes across and and then then uh forward. But
Speaker 1: you know what, in one week, he's completely changed his
Speaker 1: game so stylistically thick. Then then I've heard some of
Speaker 1: the coaches there say that he's the last piece or
Speaker 1: the missing piece, and I had my I had my doubts.
Speaker 1: I think they're right. I think for the ten minutes
Speaker 1: that I saw, the fifteen minutes that it was on,
Speaker 1: I think that might be right. Yeah, because what happens
Speaker 1: is that he freeze Burton to run. I would just
Speaker 1: want to run. I don't wanted to think. I wanted
Speaker 1: to kick and to run.
Speaker 2: I think I think he ran more than I've seen
Speaker 2: him running any game for the whole time. Yeah, I haven't.
Speaker 5: And that's my thing about Burton.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's a genuine five eight and he tries
Speaker 1: to all play whatever, run run your runner.
Speaker 5: When you want to ring, you ran.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm interested to see what happens in
Speaker 1: between now and the September. There'll be more drama there.
Speaker 1: And as we said, Read is not happy, nor is uh.
Speaker 2: I think they're both on the way out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I said this to the I the other day.
Speaker 1: Last year or the year the year before that? Did
Speaker 1: you know who take me sex to them?
Speaker 2: Was? We all did? He was at the Gold Coast,
Speaker 2: but he wasn't He was just another player. He wasn't
Speaker 2: a yes, But don't build that up as a reason
Speaker 2: to go. He's coming. We've done him a favor and
Speaker 2: he's leaving a better man. Proper ship. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: no ye, try and sell that.
Speaker 5: Not selling that.
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is that there's two years he
Speaker 1: spent a Cariby. It's not it's not forgotten or lost thing.
Speaker 1: He hasn't spent two years in Reggies. All of a
Speaker 1: sudden he's going to be asking for six six hundred
Speaker 1: thous on three now.
Speaker 4: Well, no one's chased him, man, I haven't heard any
Speaker 4: offers yet, has anyone? Are you sure? What if he doesn't?
Speaker 5: He's good, he's a good he's a good half back.
Speaker 4: Maybe Perths's good. Oh we didn't talk about that anyway.
Speaker 4: But who's who's I haven't heard anyone chasing him. Most
Speaker 4: everybody that he gets a job. Maybe St. George can
Speaker 4: deal with him.
Speaker 2: But he was always going to get He was always
Speaker 2: going to get a job. You got a job at Cannabury.
Speaker 2: He was never a dud.
Speaker 4: It's not a no no.
Speaker 5: I've always said that he was the one between him
Speaker 5: and the other one. Who was the other one?
Speaker 1: No no, the guy went to the Warriors. The half
Speaker 1: back they had they had at the dog case. Remember
Speaker 1: that's two half and I said the Secon was the
Speaker 1: one sexton and h can boyd boy. There was two
Speaker 1: half backs. And I remember having debates who was the
Speaker 1: better one, And I used to say sex and here
Speaker 1: and you you were on Tanner boys and all of
Speaker 1: us are not wrong.
Speaker 5: They're both very good.
Speaker 4: Is that the worriest the worst. He's injured.
Speaker 1: So it was a fun game, NICOLEA. The school probably
Speaker 1: that doesn't indicate the because they all came late in
Speaker 1: the game. The school probably doesn't indicate the game.
Speaker 5: But it was fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I reckon, I actually disagree. I reckon.
Speaker 2: The score is a pretty good reflection of the game.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I was happy Power hung in and
Speaker 2: then can we just there were too good in then
Speaker 2: they just ran away with it. But I'm seeing the
Speaker 2: small improvements from Power. It was a pretty good game.
Speaker 2: First half was really good game. Yeah, you got you're
Speaker 2: probably like at the start of the year what we saw,
Speaker 2: they're probably ahead of time. They probably two biggest criticisms
Speaker 2: at the start of the word defense which was horrible
Speaker 2: and there was no ball movement. So now we're seeing
Speaker 2: a bit of both. Absolutely, I'm happy with that.
Speaker 1: I'm happy with that's that's that's the the Jason plays
Speaker 1: lots of ball movement.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think of the kickout? Nice?
Speaker 2: That wasn't.
Speaker 5: Changing the fabric of the game, changed the game, didn't.
Speaker 2: Tell he did take out the kicking leg, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: Did he get any suspension for that or did he
Speaker 4: get no?
Speaker 2: You got nothing?
Speaker 4: Okay, that says it all.
Speaker 2: Really, I'm sure Moses milked it, but he didn't take
Speaker 2: out the kicking the right leg. Yeah okay, and he
Speaker 2: has got form in that area too.
Speaker 1: Well, if they do it every week consistently, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to argue that every every time you touch a
Speaker 1: half back kicking, which now they've got a free rein
Speaker 1: little ships. But okay, yeah, fine, the fine is fine.
Speaker 1: You got ten minutes in the bin too.
Speaker 2: Forget Yeah he did what were the points for that
Speaker 2: one only.
Speaker 4: Three two one. Matt Burton got the three points. I
Speaker 4: don't know, this might be controversial, but two points went
Speaker 4: to Junior Polo was probably outstanding. Junior Polo was one
Speaker 4: of his best games for the year. And another guy
Speaker 4: you might but Harry Hayes got one point. This was
Speaker 4: good player, Harry Hayes. He's on the outer Yeah, George, George,
Speaker 4: He's going somewhere wishing we win it.
Speaker 2: Someone.
Speaker 4: If he changes his name to Harry Flanagan, we might
Speaker 4: get anybody, won't happen and.
Speaker 2: The Roosters had to buyer.
Speaker 5: Are the Roosters.
Speaker 2: Moving into We've got to split around this week Round fifteen.
Speaker 2: Obviously it's Origin Week next week, so all of these
Speaker 2: teams will be missing their Origin stars and kicking off
Speaker 2: Thursday night tomorrow, the Sharks are hosting the Dragons. Addie,
Speaker 2: what's going to happen here? Are you guys?
Speaker 5: He won't be here. He'll be on a plane.
Speaker 4: Sharks Dragons. If Sharks don't win by more than thirty,
Speaker 4: I'll be surprised. I'm tipping the Sharks by miles Josh.
Speaker 1: We've got the two last week losers and they've got
Speaker 1: to respond and this will be a better game than
Speaker 1: ADI thinks because they've got to respond. Don't think that
Speaker 1: the Sharks are all there, because we saw what they
Speaker 1: are last week. For them in the middle, they crumbling,
Speaker 1: and they crumbled far fast. Are they playing that they're playing?
Speaker 1: They're playing at the dungeon. They're playing at the dungeon. Okay,
Speaker 1: the prison, the prison, They're playing at the prison. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Sharks with no confidence, with no confidence.
Speaker 4: You know what, Shark's got no origin players, so they
Speaker 4: don't bring anyone.
Speaker 5: Injured.
Speaker 2: I think he Carla, Yeah, it's a big I'm I'm
Speaker 2: tipping the Sharks, tipping the Dragons the Dragons.
Speaker 4: One thing I wanted to tell.
Speaker 2: What's the name?
Speaker 4: Sorry, one thing I wanted to bring up for George.
Speaker 4: There's a guy named Nick. I was going to say,
Speaker 4: I agree his tipped to make his debut this week.
Speaker 4: They've named Corey Allen in the starting seventeen. But I
Speaker 4: remember seeing in the Dragons thing that he's out till
Speaker 4: round seventeen. So I don't know if I find against
Speaker 4: picking for when he's out. Got a bad injury, so
Speaker 4: I think they're just trying to cover it. But it
Speaker 4: looks like another greet guy is going to make his debut.
Speaker 2: If there's if there's if there's a Greek kid playing
Speaker 2: in the underage Northern Territory warm back. More guys know about.
Speaker 4: He's been killing it in the reserve grades. Actually he's
Speaker 4: a background, but he's been playing centers in the last
Speaker 4: four or five works, and so yeah, look out for him.
Speaker 5: I'll be looking out for him.

Speaker 1: both a train wreck. There's two teams. I'm going to

Speaker 1: teams are both trains better.

Speaker 4: Dom Young, Nat Butcher, doctor Clay, Sam Walker is bag
Speaker 4: n fur White is back. Jackson Jackson Hastings has been
Speaker 4: named for the Knights. Oh no, they're going to be
Speaker 4: arguments on the field. But yeah, so fans beware that
Speaker 4: might be that might have to bom from the start.
Speaker 2: I'm tipping the Roosters in this one.
Speaker 1: The I don't believe the Knights. I don't believe the
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of perfection as they call it. The Roosters
Speaker 1: are building for something. Will make the eight. They will
Speaker 1: make the Hongsters, they will make with their youngsters, and
Speaker 1: they will win. Who would station I'll tell you, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you rocks for me. Okay.

Speaker 4: The race stones back for the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves Dolphins winmen win, Dolphins winning and win well

Speaker 4: walk Mitchell and you're Campbell, Graham, Jacob Host and Joe
Speaker 4: Gray coming in.
Speaker 5: Joe Gray, what what, Nicole?
Speaker 1: I know, you just picked the dogs and I'll probably
Speaker 1: pick the dogs as well, but there's less less disruption
Speaker 1: there for the South and ALFs are looking for for
Speaker 1: a victory as well. So I'm going to go Dogs
Speaker 1: in good faith. But the Rabbits, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised. And then the victory that
Speaker 1: they've lost a few in the rye, haven't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah they have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going Rabbits because of that. Yeah, they're desperate
Speaker 4: they to win. Joe Grays a good inn like Mitchell.
Speaker 4: Joe Gray has made done wonders and Campbell gram is
Speaker 4: also a good inn as well, So they're.
Speaker 5: Not really losing.
Speaker 1: Joe Gray's outstanding rugby lueplay and so is so is stretched.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we actually lose. We actually lose quality players.
Speaker 2: And the teams with the buyers are the Broncos, Eels, Panthers, Raiders, Storm,
Speaker 2: Warriors and Tigers.
Speaker 4: That's a lot.
Speaker 2: That is a lot. Yeah, guarantee two points in the bag.
Speaker 2: In the bag, in the bag.
Speaker 4: Now getting on the plane and going oh the way
Speaker 4: to England. We had the Challenge Cup Final. How much
Speaker 4: fun with George. You got to tell me about this,
Speaker 4: So that was fun. Hul Kingston Rovers eight Warrington Wolves six. Halftime.
Speaker 4: Warrington was up six to two. In the closing minutes,
Speaker 4: last minute, the last minutes, Tom Davies dives on a
Speaker 4: little grubber ball by Tyrone May into the corner. They scored,
Speaker 4: and then Wembley waited for Mikey Lewis to kick up
Speaker 4: kick the winning goal to win their first trophy in
Speaker 4: forty years. Well done Willie Peters the next and a
Speaker 4: real coach in waiting, I think so.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 1: Nicotta outstanding game. One of those it's genuine final games.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen him in Darby's soccer or European
Speaker 1: Cups whatever, this was a cup. I just said the scores.
Speaker 1: No one got away. I think I thought Warrington was
Speaker 1: gonna win. Warrington through eighty minutes, probably was the better team.
Speaker 1: But you could he couldn't. They couldn't put a hell
Speaker 1: kr away. Just couldn't put him away. Couldn't put them.
Speaker 5: Away, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: The last the last ten minutes Warrington was in was
Speaker 1: in whole kas reporter trying to score a try roll
Speaker 1: and they didn't getting the ball rolling it in.
Speaker 5: They got two chances in the second half and I
Speaker 5: scored a try.
Speaker 1: I scored a try. So you know what, they're a
Speaker 1: good team. Who k is a good team, very well
Speaker 1: coaged team. I can't wait to see Michael Lewis against
Speaker 1: Australia because they've got big tickets on in Sorry Nicolson,
Speaker 1: Mikey Lewis. They've got some big tickets on Michael Lewis,
Speaker 1: big tickets.
Speaker 4: I like lose.
Speaker 1: And it was just a really good game to watch.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to watch it all and I couldn't
Speaker 1: get away from the screen. Yeah, those games I couldn't
Speaker 1: get away. It was physically I give. I give English
Speaker 1: simply one thing. It's very physical, very very physical, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean they tackle and they tackle hard English forwards.
Speaker 5: I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. And twenty seven years.
Speaker 4: You say, okay, forty years, forty years trophy for forty years.
Speaker 1: Well there you go.
Speaker 5: Good on them. And that's one one of one of them.
Speaker 1: The whole team, yeah, the week of one. Usually the
Speaker 1: whole whatever they're called is the Glamour team.
Speaker 4: They're the Glamot team and hul Kingston Ravers is the
Speaker 4: week of the Poor Brother.
Speaker 5: Or the poor Brother. But Willie Peters sorted that out.
Speaker 5: It was good fun.
Speaker 4: It was good fun.
Speaker 5: That got it good fun. I loved it. Yeah, I've
Speaker 5: watched some. I was coupan. I even watched some something
Speaker 5: board this week. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I on my on my own new iPad I and
Speaker 1: watched the fleg and wow, problem, I've got some mental issues.
Speaker 1: I've got some mental issues.
Speaker 5: I'm just looking. I'm looking for youngsters.
Speaker 4: Warrior is the leading that day that you can not
Speaker 4: can effect.
Speaker 1: War Warriors have lost one game all year and they've
Speaker 1: got a plus two hundred or something, absolutely smash.
Speaker 5: But I think Paramos coming second there, George coming second.
Speaker 4: And Warries just burt us there a few weeks ago
Speaker 4: in the last minute. I think that's right. Yeah, Reagon's
Speaker 4: are doing very well, that's right, and in the Warriors
Speaker 4: and Warriors are doing well all the grades and and
Speaker 4: and Paramou actually, so there's yeah, there's a lot of promising.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: Jackson is doing something right with the youngsters. You know
Speaker 4: what I was telling George the other day. This year
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of good young players come through you.
Speaker 4: Now we're saying, oh, there's a bit of training in talent. Well,
Speaker 4: we've got some superstar halves coming out out of the
Speaker 4: woodwork this year to look forward to in the future.
Speaker 4: We're losing the Reynolds they see and that are getting older.
Speaker 4: But then we're seeing Katowa Galvin, We're seeing Nathan Strange.
Speaker 4: You know this season Santa is going to be a star.
Speaker 4: Then we say, yeah, we're just saying starts everywhere, youngie.
Speaker 4: You know, we're saying massive, you know, which is good
Speaker 4: to see. So I decatta go. Everybody didn't want to
Speaker 4: They didn't want to breed.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to spend the money on breeding, because
Speaker 1: we're talking Ennardy, five million can be three something million, you,
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's going millions to breed kids. So they
Speaker 1: thought I will go and buy it. Well you can't
Speaker 1: buy it. It's hard to buy now you can or
Speaker 1: you can't. Yeah as well, okay, but team but breeding
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, they're breeding as well. So everybody across
Speaker 1: the board on the board now is putting lots of
Speaker 1: money in kids, and and you know what, feathers how
Speaker 1: much I think sometimes I don't like the decisions his
Speaker 1: heart's in the right place when he wants to go
Speaker 1: to England and France and have the international game to
Speaker 1: elevate it. He's thinking breeding youngsters. He's thinking about bringing
Speaker 1: bringing kids from outside into the into the NRL. That's
Speaker 1: what he's thinking. He wants, he wants the lifeline the
Speaker 1: pacifica Islands. Well, that's what he's thinking. Yeah, the P
Speaker 1: and G think it's about kids coming into NRL. So
Speaker 1: that's that's what he needs, and that's what we all need.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens in Europe with Psycho if
Speaker 1: they all breed, but we Need's such a small market,
Speaker 1: you've got to breathe.
Speaker 4: What's your thoughts on Perth Bears. Meninger announced they get it.
Speaker 2: By the time he coaches his first game, it'll be
Speaker 2: twenty seven years since his last club job. So I mean,
Speaker 2: if you know, if the Titans are interested, I'm sure
Speaker 2: wyn Ryan's available. Makes no sense to me whatsoever at all.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're hoping you can attract players, but I think
Speaker 4: that's the only thing that draw card. It depends on
Speaker 4: his assistant coach is so I think they approached Burgess maybe,
Speaker 4: but he's not the fact I didn't. So that's the
Speaker 4: big talking point. Now let's say, who's going to.
Speaker 5: Be knocked it back? Your guy? But he knocked it back.
Speaker 1: They asked him no, no, no, as head coach, and
Speaker 1: well he's tied up at he's taken serious, he's taken
Speaker 1: lead seriously now, so he knocked it back. They said
Speaker 1: on SCN that they offered it the brad first and
Speaker 1: then he said no. So that's when that's when they
Speaker 1: went to maw. But you know what, it's it's a
Speaker 1: really really really really big job Nicola, because think about
Speaker 1: it when when the Finns came, they had a base
Speaker 1: at a club and they had juniors and they're they're
Speaker 1: a big club in in Brisbane. Okay, Perth Bears starting
Speaker 1: with zero.
Speaker 4: Did don't they have a junior? Don't they have rugby league?
Speaker 1: I thought they had a rugby lea they might, but
Speaker 1: then they haven't got kids like they've got no, No,
Speaker 1: they won't.
Speaker 5: So they've got to get a squad of thirty.
Speaker 1: They've got to find a third the first grade rugby
Speaker 1: league players plus pathways plus kids they playing all in
Speaker 1: the junior competitions.
Speaker 4: So it's a big thing.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that I have a feeded team in a
Speaker 2: different state.
Speaker 1: They will have thirteen. But you've got to find these
Speaker 1: kids now, so you're going to have to look underneath.
Speaker 1: They're going to rape all of us. They're going to rape,
Speaker 1: They're going to rape Paramount, They're going to break Can.
Speaker 1: They're gonna rap and George are going to rape every
Speaker 1: everybody that can underneath. They're going to go to They're
Speaker 1: gonna go to New Zealand, They're gonna go anywhere England
Speaker 1: just to rape the youngsters to bring because there's no pathways.
Speaker 1: They're going to find their own pathways, put their part
Speaker 1: and they could be all in New South Wales, they
Speaker 1: could be in Brisbane. I don't know where they're going
Speaker 1: to be, but they're going to be somewhere. Plus thirty
Speaker 1: first grade rugby league players, which here we go. Now
Speaker 1: they're going to rape all of us again, the top liners.
Speaker 1: Just wait a couple of years. I think Henry will
Speaker 1: probably released another thirteen players. Get all the thirteen pace.
Speaker 4: Probably good, so it's a break Tap will be there
Speaker 4: will be there, good play, good player.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a massive job what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: And they've given him one year to do it. Really, really,
Speaker 1: it's one year, one and a half year. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of things to do to get you know, that's
Speaker 1: they got the GM they got. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know much about him, but apparently he's hated in a
Speaker 1: w A. He's done all the all these shunky things
Speaker 1: with Cole's and all these other other companies.
Speaker 4: Apparently.
Speaker 1: I heard that on s c N. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's true or not, but it's not good that, yeah,
Speaker 1: worse than good. And the media and the media is
Speaker 1: trashing the Bears already. They're just ridden them off. They're
Speaker 1: death in them already. So yeah, so he's got a
Speaker 1: big male and and then I've always got a massive
Speaker 1: job to get them up and running. So look, I
Speaker 1: wish I wish him all the best. They should have
Speaker 1: given given him more time. They should have given him
Speaker 1: two years.
Speaker 4: To they'll find plays.
Speaker 1: What they'll find now, I guess they will find players.
Speaker 1: But all they're gonna do is rape us. They're going
Speaker 1: to rape all of us, Jacob aside. Now, what they're
Speaker 1: going to do is they're going to pick the eyes
Speaker 1: out of every good youngster. And if someone's agitating like
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, one of your players might
Speaker 1: agitate and they're all going to you see it's going
Speaker 1: to happen the next star and you see how much
Speaker 1: over they're going to get. You see how much overs
Speaker 1: they're all going to get. Just what your guy in
Speaker 1: the back row because you heard that someone's going to
Speaker 1: put one point eight, he's going to say, well at
Speaker 1: one point eight too, So they're going to disrupt the
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 5: But anyway, happy chorus.
Speaker 4: They're talking to him about being their first big name
Speaker 4: and d C side for a years, So maybe d C.
Speaker 5: Might be there just to seven. He's going to go there.
Speaker 4: Cameron Smith might come out of it's one too. Maybe.
Speaker 1: Look, I want I want Perth to succeed and the
Speaker 1: Bear pass of it because I had a soft spot
Speaker 1: for the Bears.
Speaker 5: I think Nicola had a.
Speaker 4: If I'm not wrong, is there a Bears reserve? Great
Speaker 4: team Bears? Well, that's their feeders. All those guys still
Speaker 4: got to think half a team there already. They still
Speaker 4: better than that. But anyway, yeah, so I've got a
Speaker 4: so so I want him to do well.
Speaker 1: But in the next two years, it's going to be
Speaker 1: it's going to be Cande and they want the team
Speaker 1: to be competitive. They need the team, they said, to
Speaker 1: go on the field and not to get flogged because
Speaker 1: then they'll lose. They'll lose w A, I lose the
Speaker 1: Perth people. So they need to build a team, Mouse
Speaker 1: said on on SCN, and the Feathers said to him,
Speaker 1: we need to build a competitive team. And they're not
Speaker 1: giving him any dispations either.
Speaker 5: They should be.
Speaker 1: They should have given given him a five year get
Speaker 1: out of jail card like they did the the AFIL
Speaker 1: team Western Sydney. Shouldn't but they don't. They're not giving
Speaker 1: him because they promised that all the other teams there
Speaker 1: will be no you know, Joel, I.
Speaker 4: Could see super League, but I could say now raiding
Speaker 4: all the super League.
Speaker 5: We said that.
Speaker 4: He's getting all the players there. We'll get Bevan French,
Speaker 4: all right, what's his name, Trician sailor a lot of
Speaker 4: good players over there.
Speaker 1: So I agree, you never knows. Wait to see there's
Speaker 1: Tristan anyway. That's the best.
Speaker 2: That's the episode. That's a wrap done, that's done.
