Speaker 1: Hello super coaches, and welcome to the Preview podcast, brought
Speaker 1: to you by Yui Origin verified massive game last night.
Speaker 1: I'm still getting over the trauma, to be honest. We've
Speaker 1: got Jet Hatton and Tyson Jackson in the studio today.
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. Jet. Just initial thoughts on that
Speaker 1: match last night.
Speaker 2: It was a tough watches in New South Wales fan,
Speaker 2: I was a bit confident going to the second half
Speaker 2: half for a good first half, but when Queenslane got
Speaker 2: that momentum and they couldn't really wrangle it back. So yeah,
Speaker 2: a bit deflating, but hopefully they can put it back
Speaker 2: in game three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the middle, they were just so tired in the middle.
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. No one could even move, no, like,
Speaker 1: no forward got over one hundred meters. It was just
Speaker 1: rough pain hass I have never seen him shut down
Speaker 1: like that ever, and that means that guys like Nathan Clear,
Speaker 1: etcetera can't do much.
Speaker 3: What were your thoughts, Honestly, I'm all Origin down after that.
Speaker 3: It sucked the life out of me. But yeah, it
Speaker 3: was a poor performance. I mean, I think as a
Speaker 3: Blues fan, obviously you wanted to see him win, but
Speaker 3: it's kind of what they needed. They snuck away with
Speaker 3: it in the first game, which I think clouded how
Speaker 3: poor we really were. There's no excuses now. It needs
Speaker 3: to be match changes for game three if there are
Speaker 3: any chance of going up to some call ben and winning.
Speaker 1: So we're going to go through all the players who
Speaker 1: like to look back up, not likely backup, already ruled
Speaker 1: out all that sort of stuff. Tyson has done a
Speaker 1: story It is on our website, with the likelihood of
Speaker 1: every player doing that. Let's run through a couple of
Speaker 1: key guys to start with. Calen Ponger is probably the
Speaker 1: most urgent because he plays that first game of the round,
Speaker 1: so only a forty eight hour backup slightly less probably,
Speaker 1: plus he copped a bit of a hit. I know
Speaker 1: he didn't go off for a concussion, but is there
Speaker 1: a duty of care there, Calm Ponger, what do you
Speaker 1: reckon his chances are?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I've rated him as unlikely to back up.
Speaker 3: It's a Friday game traveling from Melbourne Sydney, so they'll
Speaker 3: be going from Melbourne, or actually from Melbourne to Newcastle,
Speaker 3: so pol we'll be traveling back, which kind of takes
Speaker 3: away all of today kind of gives him one day
Speaker 3: to recover. I copped a big hit yesterday off to
Speaker 3: Tody Stags, which we saw Stags get sent off SimBin
Speaker 3: for so I have him as unlikely. He backed up
Speaker 3: after the first game, but he didn't play that long
Speaker 3: in the first game. It was eighty minutes. He was
Speaker 3: a target yesterday, a couple of big hits. I have
Speaker 3: him as unlikely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he probably is unlikely as well. If
Speaker 1: he does play, though, I'll be checking the VC on him.
Speaker 1: Do you own him and what are your plans? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I own him. Also in Fletcher Sharp, who'd expect to
Speaker 2: come in play fullback? They were Santa Smith there, so
Speaker 2: you think he comes straight in? Yeah, I've just got
Speaker 2: him there. I don't have the reserve on him at
Speaker 2: the moment, just expecting that he's not going to play.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so Fletcher Sharp one more game at fullback
Speaker 1: and he'll actually earn dual positioning. Now he's played a
Speaker 1: bit of center as well this year, so he's all
Speaker 1: over the shop. So that would be good for Fletcher Sharp.
Speaker 1: We'll get to some buys later on, but I reckon
Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp is a sneaky purchase. For this week, let's
Speaker 1: do or Dylan Lucas. I think we've probably covered it
Speaker 1: with the Knight's big travel, massive almost forty tackles last night,
Speaker 1: played the full eighty. It's going to be tough for
Speaker 1: him to back up. Let's go to the Panthers boys
Speaker 1: Cleary and Yo. Coming into this podcast, I thought Cleary
Speaker 1: would be no chance. They've got the Titans. It's big
Speaker 1: travel up to the Goldie, no chance for the Panthers
Speaker 1: to back up. Then Cleary had the game that he
Speaker 1: did last night, with ten mess tackles, a bunch of
Speaker 1: defensive reads that cost tries, a bunch of poor kicks,
Speaker 1: like it was so un Nathan Cleary like one of
Speaker 1: the you know, you can usually rely on Nathan Cleary
Speaker 1: in defense, which is quite rare for fullbacks to be honest.
Speaker 1: But he had an absolutely barry last night. So often
Speaker 1: when players have a chakra in origin, the coach just
Speaker 1: gets them back on the field straight away to try
Speaker 1: and wash it out. Reckon that will happen with Cleary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, Ivan Cleary, his dad is a is an
Speaker 3: interesting cat when it comes to I guess the situations.
Speaker 3: One year, he'll choose to back everyone up the next year,
Speaker 3: you'll choose to sit everyone out. I was Isaiao and
Speaker 3: Nathan Cleary at the start of last night had a
Speaker 3: highly unlikely beside him. They've moved to it unlikely for me.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to feel the need to
Speaker 3: push them a bit more like that's a hard game
Speaker 3: of Isaiao played seventy two minutes in the middle. Nathan
Speaker 3: Cleary obviously didn't have his greatest performance, but he was
Speaker 3: peppered a lot as well, so I know there is
Speaker 3: that push to I guess, get back on the field. Look,
Speaker 3: we saw the Panthers go against the Warriors without their
Speaker 3: Origin stars and win. They won. Well, we've seen in
Speaker 3: the past there's been a lack of push to try
Speaker 3: and get them back on the field. So I've got
Speaker 3: him still unlikely. I don't think with the travel and
Speaker 3: everything else, they're going to get pushed straight back in.
Speaker 3: Maybe off the bench. We've seen that happen before, but
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be expecting both Nathan and Isaiah to play
Speaker 3: big minutes.
Speaker 1: They've got the buy after the next Origin game as well,
Speaker 1: so that's a fact of taking too account. If they
Speaker 1: get rested this week, they'll be getting rested after every
Speaker 1: single Origin match, which when you're coming first in the
Speaker 1: competition by that much, then why not. What are your
Speaker 1: plans with Cleary? I've got Nico Hines sitting there as
Speaker 1: a backup, So if Niko gets ruled out and Cleary
Speaker 1: gets ruled out, I'm in a bit of curry there.
Speaker 1: What are your plans.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to hold clearly. I've got Tamai Martin
Speaker 2: in a half back, so a bit of insurance there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if he did back up, but
Speaker 2: as you said, if he does, it's probably going to
Speaker 2: be off the bench in that capacity. We saw him
Speaker 2: do that last year I think it was, and he
Speaker 2: actually scored quite on Super Coach too. I think he
Speaker 2: scored about ninety in limited minutes, So yeah, i'd be yeah,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be selling him though, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, onto Munster and Grant, the Storm boys who we
Speaker 1: actually care about. There's no no, there's no travel for them,
Speaker 1: so you'd hope that they're a good chance. But Grant
Speaker 1: got taken off at the end the game was over,
Speaker 1: but he did get benched after the first Origin match month.
Speaker 1: There's no backup there for a lot of people because
Speaker 1: a lot of people have camera. Sorry Brandon Smith who
Speaker 1: is on the by this week, so he could be
Speaker 1: playing without a hooker. If Harry Grant doesn't play, what
Speaker 1: do you reckon? The chances are.
Speaker 3: Well, Actually, I think that first game off memory, I
Speaker 3: think Harry Grant scored particularly well off the bench. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he did, so it might be a blessing if he
Speaker 3: does play off the bench. But I've got both storm
Speaker 3: boys Ken Munster and Harry Grant at a fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3: Ken Munster obviously had a bit of a scare with
Speaker 3: the head slam towards the end of the first half.
Speaker 3: Obviously he passed his HIA, but they're still lingering effects there,
Speaker 3: like you know you're gonna pull up pretty s soorid.
Speaker 3: He was another one where the Blue sent a lot
Speaker 3: of traffic down his way. When it comes to Harry
Speaker 3: Grant played big minutes in the middle, was on ballmost
Speaker 3: the whole game until getting taken off right at the end.
Speaker 3: I don't know there's any major injury concerns there from
Speaker 3: my analysis, but I think it's going to be a
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty kind of coin flip whether they're going
Speaker 3: to play it or they need to play though for
Speaker 3: storms sake because Melbourne. They might see him out of
Speaker 3: contention at the moment, but they still have an equational
Speaker 3: chance of getting into the eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean they need everyone to play every single week.
Speaker 1: It's just whether they could do it. Like I before Origin,
Speaker 1: before everything happened, I just assumed that he would back
Speaker 1: up from this one because there's no travel. That's the
Speaker 1: that's the big thing you got Harry Grant.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not a Harry Green or a Monster owner,
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't be I'd be happy if none of
Speaker 2: them backed up. There's a super coach player, Oli Pasco
Speaker 2: man So Pasco. Yeah that's good, but yeah, they probably
Speaker 2: need him to play if they want to make the eight.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Teddy, he made the most runs or made
Speaker 1: the most meters of any News of last player. He was.
Speaker 1: He was everywhere, which just nothing opened up for him.
Speaker 1: Marknaan Knittle Wazi had an absolute blinder in attack, scored
Speaker 1: an impossible try, I almost scored another impossible try, but
Speaker 1: try assist.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 1: It was great to see him in the Origin arena. Defensively,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was his fold or Catny Staggs.
Speaker 1: As far as problem, it's a system problem either way.
Speaker 1: Do you think those guys are going to back up?
Speaker 3: I think Mark will back up. I think Mark left
Speaker 3: the game pretty unscarthed, obviously had those great moments, and
Speaker 3: would want to back up his great performance last night
Speaker 3: with a performance of Riches. Again. Another team that needs
Speaker 3: their guys back with all happened last week without those
Speaker 3: players playing. James Tedesco, I'm a little bit concerned about
Speaker 3: he backed up after the first game. When I spoke
Speaker 3: to Teddy after the first game, he said, it's my
Speaker 3: job's back up. I've got him at fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3: I think he'll want to back up, but you know,
Speaker 3: his age and where he's in his career might warrant arrest.
Speaker 3: Interesting They've got Rex Bassingswede off the bench for Sunday's game,
Speaker 3: which is a four day turnaround. Rex proved last week
Speaker 3: that he's more than capable of holding himself in first grade,
Speaker 3: So I think Trent Robinson will have confidence in moving
Speaker 3: Rex there and then giving Teddy arrest if that's the
Speaker 3: way they need to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they pulled bassing Thwaite out of the under
Speaker 1: nineties Origin, which signals that he's going to play somewhere.
Speaker 1: Maybe on the right wing. They might go, O Katie
Speaker 1: Rams at full back, something might happen with Teddy. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let's chat about with Dolphins lads. So
Speaker 1: Plath had an absolutely blind up, probably more minutes than
Speaker 1: a lot of people were expecting. They've already ruled out
Speaker 1: three guys. Plath played big minutes, so you'd think if
Speaker 1: they've ruled out three, ruled out Plath as well.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I have I have Max Plath as highly unlikely.
Speaker 3: Fifty six minutes, fourteen runs, twenty six tackles, has to
Speaker 3: go to Campbelltown on Saturday. It's on a Saturday night
Speaker 3: game either a Saturday afternoon three o'clock. He's been named
Speaker 3: in the reserve, so I don't think there was actually
Speaker 3: much push for those guys to play. And then obviously
Speaker 3: Hamaso not even in the squad, Selvin Cobo not in
Speaker 3: the squad. So yeah, I would think Max.
Speaker 1: Plath is going to get a rest on Saturday and
Speaker 1: FINDI Furiaki only eight minutes, so we really hope he
Speaker 1: will play Jet Hatton, who's been burning the midnight oil
Speaker 1: covering the racing to like what three am running up
Speaker 1: to the office trying to get origin matches in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Royal last got week, so it's a big week
Speaker 2: for racing over in England, massive canal over there. So yeah,
Speaker 2: last night I went straight into bed after the game,
Speaker 2: go back up twelve thirty, worked a couple of hours
Speaker 2: after that, So got my high back in the office
Speaker 2: this morning and do it all again tonight.
Speaker 1: That's a great comeback story. That's they're talking about backups
Speaker 1: that someone's going to someone's going to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been nice if the Blues had
Speaker 2: a lot of it, it would have been a lot easier.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it reminds me of having a newborn again
Speaker 1: listening to that sleep schedule. That's disgusting. Trades this week?
Speaker 1: What do you think of?
Speaker 2: No trades for me?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a very deep squad. Yeah, I can
Speaker 2: comfortably feel a team. I've actually got some hard to
Speaker 2: be start like decisions this week. So yeah, I've gotten
Speaker 2: I've run through my trades this year. I've got thirteen left.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm just going to hang tight and not
Speaker 2: make any of this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a I'm in a similar boat. I think
Speaker 3: if I am going to trade, it's going to be
Speaker 3: during the round rather than before the round. Just see
Speaker 3: who's kind of getting picked. I have a little bit
Speaker 3: of question marks over to Murray Martin who's currently in
Speaker 3: my squad. Luke Metcalfe just seems to be kind of
Speaker 3: lurking around there. I think Tomorrow Martin has been playing well.
Speaker 3: I don't think Tomorrow Martin is the reason they've lost
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks. But losses start making pressure,
Speaker 3: which means I'm a little bit worried about the money
Speaker 3: I've spent on Tomorrow and I might have to look
Speaker 3: to trade him, but I'm in a hold until I
Speaker 3: have to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really hope he plays. I've got back up
Speaker 1: this week hopefully, so it doesn't really matter, but I
Speaker 1: want him to be a hold for a fair bit longer,
Speaker 1: hopefully it happens. In terms of my trades, I've got
Speaker 1: kpp out did you own? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I brought him in last week, so he was one
Speaker 2: of my trades last week. But I think I'm just
Speaker 2: going to hold him there until after Origin and I'll
Speaker 2: just bring him in for painhass or something.
Speaker 1: So yeah, right, that's decent cool. I'm thinking of going
Speaker 1: to Nick to Suka, who will get to Tony Sukha
Speaker 1: part of the we'll get We'll get to Suka and
Speaker 1: fur in a sect. But you've got some good chat
Speaker 1: about Suka and then I'm thinking of going Cody Ramsey
Speaker 1: up to Jenkins as well. I think Jenkins just has
Speaker 1: massive upside compared to the other guys you're going for.
Speaker 1: I mean, Homoli is really tempting, Dylan Edwards is really tempting.
Speaker 1: I love both of them, but Senna Wing is where
Speaker 1: the big upside is and Jenkins is going to go
Speaker 1: up in price. Were your thoughts on Jenkins?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never been a Milki owner. I'm a big
Speaker 2: fan of him. I love watching him play footy, especially
Speaker 2: you know from where you come from at Newcastle a
Speaker 2: few years ago. I just can't justify doing my squads
Speaker 2: so deep. I'd be having to move on someone really
Speaker 2: good to get him in. Have you thought about Isaac Tungo,
Speaker 2: He'd be a bit cheaper than Jenkins. Yeah, in left
Speaker 2: center for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: You'd think I've had a good look, but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: probably a short term play. Whereas Jenkins, I can bring
Speaker 1: in and he'll be there for the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Tango would be you think it'd be a chance to
Speaker 2: get dual position as well when he's played quite a
Speaker 2: bit of back roy off the bench this year.
Speaker 1: So putting the pressure on dual position.
Speaker 2: I've got a tight.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. Round eighteen is the next updates.
Speaker 1: If you think you're a big Origin fan, you can
Speaker 1: prove it. You can get Origin verified with Yui and
Speaker 1: win for your state. Now I'm obviously verified, got this
Speaker 1: badge here cranking. You get a score out of two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand when you get verified. I've got one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety thousand out of two hundred thousand. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: proud of my rank. But I did get one trivia
Speaker 1: question wrong. I'm going to put your guys to the
Speaker 1: test now. It's multiple choice for you. Just yell out,
Speaker 1: yell out if you if and when you know the answer.
Speaker 1: Which New South Wales player captained New South Wales to
Speaker 1: their twenty fourteen State of Origin Series one quick although
Speaker 1: we had to wait.
Speaker 2: Okay, but in for this one, Sharks, I'm not missing out.
Speaker 1: Which year was the first official State of Oh too easy.
Speaker 1: I didn't even finish the question. Pressures on what is
Speaker 1: the name of the award given to the player of
Speaker 1: this too easy? Too Easy? And who holds the record
Speaker 1: for most points scored in State of Origin history? In
Speaker 1: Cameron State of Origin History, Cameron Smith has mel Mas
Speaker 1: Nathan Clearing, Jonathan Thurston Smith, Jonathan Thurston. That's all because
Speaker 1: he he kicked during that entire Oh he did too,
Speaker 1: But basically Karen Smith barely kicked you in Origin even
Speaker 1: though he played heaps of games. So look, you guys
Speaker 1: did pretty damn well. I reckon you could get up
Speaker 1: there with me at one hundred and ninety thousand. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if that's just for me. I definitely got
Speaker 1: definitely got a verification, said to my email, which I'll
Speaker 1: print out and chuck on the wall. You can get
Speaker 1: verified yourself. There's some great prizes, including a trip to
Speaker 1: Auckland for the twenty twenty seven State of Origin and
Speaker 1: having been to magic around recently and seeing how New
Speaker 1: Zealand fans are around Rugby League, Auckland would be completely
Speaker 1: loose and wild for Origin in twenty twenty seven, brought
Speaker 1: to you by you Get Origin Verified now at NRL
Speaker 1: dot com slash verified in terms of supercoach origin from
Speaker 1: last night, how did you go yet?
Speaker 2: I didn't have one to remember, that's for sure. I'm
Speaker 2: the big fan of Catoni Stags. Thought he was in
Speaker 2: for a big game and unfortunately you didn't have a
Speaker 2: big game. He scored, He scored pretty early. I'm sticking
Speaker 2: bit of a genius year. I was checking my score
Speaker 2: quite often, but you know, in the second half I
Speaker 2: sort of just turned it off. I was like, I'll
Speaker 2: bug a super catch I origin, but now I scored
Speaker 2: about six and fifty five, so nothing to write about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had just did not or sell On Cobbo
Speaker 1: definitely didn't have him and he was the top score
Speaker 1: of the night. Captaincy On Nathan Cleary and honestly, like I,
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary never has games like that. It was it
Speaker 1: was just rough.
Speaker 3: The mistackle cow was quite between both yeah, Nathan and
Speaker 3: Mitchell Mos. I think there was nineteen miss tackles, so
Speaker 3: it would have been a rough night tab either of it.
Speaker 1: It was nuts. So yeah, he couldn't have overloaded too
Speaker 1: much with New South Wales players. I did in the
Speaker 1: back line in those tough those positions, but I did
Speaker 1: get Marky Mark in there.
Speaker 2: No, I had actually had Hammer in so Hammer scored
Speaker 2: pretty well. It's about one hundred and something.
Speaker 1: So yeah, welcome to Coach's Edge, brought to you by
Speaker 1: tab where on. So I got up last week Fuller
Speaker 1: to score a try, Herbert to score a Tryer, Dolphins
Speaker 1: to win four dollars eighty you would have got for that.
Speaker 1: So I'm doubling down this week. I've got the Dolphins
Speaker 1: to win even with the guys not backing up. Trey Fuller,
Speaker 1: who I just love. We've got three hundred meters last weekend.
Speaker 1: He should be playing NRL. The fact that he decided
Speaker 1: not to go to the Dragons this year went off
Speaker 1: to go to the Dragons is just an indictment on
Speaker 1: the Dragons because this guy should be playing NRL without doubt.
Speaker 1: So I got him to score a try again. Tavita
Speaker 1: and Afar who to score a try as well. This
Speaker 1: guy every time he comes into first grade he says
Speaker 1: to score a try and goes absolutely nuts. So it's
Speaker 1: basically the same bet as last week, just taken out
Speaker 1: Herbie and added Defeta Nafar who in there. He's got
Speaker 1: eight tries out of ten games over his NERL career,
Speaker 1: so you can get some decent odds for that. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts?
Speaker 2: Can't knock it, especially the way Trey Fuller and Tavita
Speaker 2: player when they come into first grade. I've tipped the
Speaker 2: Tigers this week, so you could be in a bit
Speaker 2: of bunny rubble there. But yeah, all right, bet.
Speaker 1: The Tigers will win this week.
Speaker 3: I've tipped the dog. Look, and everyone knows I'm a
Speaker 3: Tigers fan. I've tipped the Dolphins, and I hope that
Speaker 3: I improven wrong.
Speaker 1: So you can check out that same game multi in
Speaker 1: the tab app. The chances are you're about to lose
Speaker 1: for free and confidential support. Called the number on screen,
Speaker 1: or visit the websites. Alrighty, cheapy Bible time. You wrote
Speaker 1: a great story this week on Tony Suka. He's the
Speaker 1: top cheapie of the week. You spoke to him today, Sorry,
Speaker 1: he expect to him this week? What did he say? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Look, well I never talked about super Coach when I
Speaker 3: interview Peeld but we were talking before and you said, hey, Tony,
Speaker 3: Tony Silker, he's very popular. I let him know and
Speaker 3: he was. He was quite happy. He was surprised, but
Speaker 3: he was happy. So he's promised supercoaches that he's going
Speaker 3: to go out there and have a great game to
Speaker 3: try and get you guys points back at him in So, look,
Speaker 3: he's a top buy for a reason. Look, I'm personally
Speaker 3: probably not going there, but that second rost part of
Speaker 3: the Tigers is vacant. Clipe his pool out probably for
Speaker 3: the rest of the year. They haven't put it down
Speaker 3: on it. But that Peck injury, he's in surgery today.
Speaker 3: Confirm his insurgery today. That will rule him out until
Speaker 3: just about the end of the season. So maybe he
Speaker 3: might go one or two games left, but Tony Sooker
Speaker 3: he could lock that spot down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the thing that I liked about that interview
Speaker 1: from Suka is that he said, I've been playing eighty
Speaker 1: minutes in Nisopil's Cup every single week, So there hasn't
Speaker 1: been a spot for me on the bench in first
Speaker 1: grade basically because he's just playing massive minutes in Newsoplal's Cup.
Speaker 1: And he's not that style of impact guy who can
Speaker 1: come off the bench for twenty minutes and you know,
Speaker 1: just rip him there for twenty minutes and change a game.
Speaker 1: But he's been playing huge minutes in Newsopalas Cup all year,
Speaker 1: he's the lead. Probably a couple of guys like they
Speaker 1: did have Ethan roberts play there.
Speaker 3: Robertson's injured at the moment right, but he's had an
Speaker 3: injury riddle kind of season. Ethan roberts Maverick Gier has
Speaker 3: been given opportunity. They've tried out on the edge. I
Speaker 3: think he's going to play in the other second row
Speaker 3: this week, Alex Safarth. They've preferred to put in the middle.
Speaker 3: So the Tigers, just like we were speaking off about
Speaker 3: their wingers, their second rowers have been very movable all year.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of lot of moving parts. Does
Speaker 1: that bode well for job security? I don't know. Would
Speaker 1: you just go enough instead? It's tough.
Speaker 2: It is tough. You probably would just go enough, But
Speaker 2: I don't know. The way this season has been and
Speaker 2: the trades getting low, all these players getting injured, it's
Speaker 2: probably you're probably better off rolling the dice on a
Speaker 2: Tony Suka and hopefully that he's a warm body and
Speaker 2: if you don't need to play him, you can.
Speaker 3: So he played. He played well at the end of
Speaker 3: when he played most of the game. Last week when
Speaker 3: Kuype Paul went off and any game on and did
Speaker 3: a job. So I mean that's probably one tick to
Speaker 3: his hat that you know, the Maverick guys and whatnot
Speaker 3: haven't got because they've kind of been pulled after one
Speaker 3: game in the second rope position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Benji is I mean you mentioned it with the wingers.
Speaker 1: Winger has a bad game, they get pulled off straight away.
Speaker 1: Second row has a bad game. There's so much chopping
Speaker 1: and changing from him. Which also brings me to the
Speaker 1: next guy on the Cheaper Bible, who is not actually
Speaker 1: a cheapie, but he's just above cheapy price. You're bringing
Speaker 1: him in to make money. Alex save Hath. Is he
Speaker 1: going to get any minutes? Yeah, yeah, he'll play big minutes.
Speaker 1: I think they kind of well, he played the game
Speaker 1: of his life last week. I think Benji has been
Speaker 1: really happy with Alex over the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and when he brings to that kind of team, they
Speaker 1: need an inspirational kind of voice, you know, put away
Speaker 1: the errors and things that he carries and those little
Speaker 1: brain fights because they're down on troops at the moment.
Speaker 3: So I dare say he will stay on the field
Speaker 3: a lot of the game he's got a big motor
Speaker 3: and he's just the worker. But you're just obviously going
Speaker 3: to risk he does have an error in him. He
Speaker 3: does have a penalty in him as well.
Speaker 1: So they got Alex Twell potentially back next week, he
Speaker 1: was saying all the week after, so could be slightly
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule or maybe on schedules and say, Hath it's.
Speaker 3: No for me.
Speaker 2: Historically he's just not been a great supercoach player. He's
Speaker 2: a good player to watch. He's you know, fire redhead
Speaker 2: that has a crack, but has he signed there long
Speaker 2: term or looking for a contract.
Speaker 3: So the situation at the moment is he's they're trying
Speaker 3: to resign Samuel Afino, and he's been kind of tossed
Speaker 3: around as one of the guys that may make way
Speaker 3: for for samuela to get resigned. Obviously Royce Hunt another
Speaker 3: one of those players. So yeah, there's his future has
Speaker 3: a bit up in the air. So if he keeps
Speaker 3: having games like he did last week and kind of
Speaker 3: earns that starting spot in the in this Tigers team,
Speaker 3: and might I might say his career at the time.
Speaker 3: I know for a fact he does not want to
Speaker 3: play anywhere else. He loves that club to death, So
Speaker 3: it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks for
Speaker 3: Save Bath.
Speaker 1: Let's do the no Goz is the player to avoid
Speaker 1: this week? Who's popular? What are you think I had?
Speaker 2: There's just three thousand and thrill seekers out there bringing
Speaker 2: Tommy Turbo tour. It's yeah, definitely a thrill SECDS, especially
Speaker 2: the re injury rate for those hamstrings always really high
Speaker 2: in the first one or two weeks, I.
Speaker 3: Think, especially with him too, especially with him Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've also chucked in Himala in there, just
Speaker 2: because you'd think he's every chance to get recalled to
Speaker 2: the blue side, so you won't have him for that
Speaker 2: round eighteen. Yeah, he's a great trading as for this
Speaker 2: week and that, but long term you're probably going to
Speaker 2: miss him the next few weeks if he does get
Speaker 2: recalled into the team.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Dylan Lucas, look, I thought he was I
Speaker 1: thought it was all right, Like everyone was absolutely gone
Speaker 1: in that NSA last pack. Everyone was completely tired and
Speaker 1: run off their feet, and Dylan Lucas made almost forty tackles.
Speaker 1: Thought he was okay, but it was just realistically he
Speaker 1: was there as a defender, not as an attacker at all.
Speaker 1: He couldn't he had no no energy left to run
Speaker 1: the ball. So does Dylan Lucas get dropped and they
Speaker 1: bring Homoli back? I think then that was the criticism
Speaker 1: of Homole in Game one, the sort of couldn't keep
Speaker 1: up with the game and the efforts off the ball
Speaker 1: weren't working. Yeah, I think there's a big chance that
Speaker 1: Dylan Lucas.
Speaker 3: I think he definitely loses his starting spot, and he's
Speaker 3: a good chances it's not even included on the bench.
Speaker 3: He's got Homoli to compete with. They've also got Liam
Speaker 3: Martin to compete with, who's played a couple of games
Speaker 3: now and will find himself back in that Blues team.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if there's mass changes to this
Speaker 3: Blues team. So, I mean, there's a couple of guys
Speaker 3: that you can look at from that played last night
Speaker 3: that you can start looking to bring into your super
Speaker 3: coach teams. Because there's a good chance I didn't get
Speaker 3: picked again.
Speaker 1: Reckon, we can do mass changes on the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: In the middle of the middle of the series.
Speaker 3: We ask how colleague Brent reid Love should have been
Speaker 3: sacked halfway through your game one. But look, I mean
Speaker 3: we're a bit far from God. I have the great
Speaker 3: theory that they should just blow up the team and
Speaker 3: just start again for game three. You just have to
Speaker 3: pick one team that's going to win the game. Get
Speaker 3: all fresh guys, get get some fighters in there. But
Speaker 3: that's why I'm a journal I'm not the coach.
Speaker 1: So exactly exactly for me, I've got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of guys on my list here. Fletcher Sharp I actually
Speaker 1: have as a nogo, even though I love him, It's
Speaker 1: just because I'm brought in Jaden Campbell, and Campbell's going
Speaker 1: to get your position. He's going to be my five eight,
Speaker 1: So I just don't have a room. And I've got
Speaker 1: months to there too, so I just don't have room
Speaker 1: for Fletcher Sharp. That's the only reason Dylan Lucas is
Speaker 1: the tenth most purchase player. Maybe that does make sense
Speaker 1: if he's going to get dropped.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it could be a big possibility. I've gone
Speaker 3: a bit rogue on my nogoz and I'm avoiding Oliver Pasco.
Speaker 3: I missed the boat on him initially, and then I
Speaker 3: was looking at him. He got ran over by alex
Speaker 3: A Farth last week and I went, you know what,
Speaker 3: I can't have him in my team. I've got Harry
Speaker 3: Grant who's going to miss a bit of time obviously,
Speaker 3: but I'm willing to hold and get around it without buying.
Speaker 1: Pasco just slammed down his favor across his arms.
Speaker 2: I'm a massive fan of Passo.
Speaker 3: I like him. I just I could do it.
Speaker 2: I feel like buying him now, sially like especially if
Speaker 2: Brayley's on the extended bench. He's probably going to come
Speaker 2: into a lot of super coach teams soon. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: just love Passcal. I think he's a massive gower and yeah.
Speaker 1: So well guilty pleasure segment, We'll go to you.
Speaker 2: I'm probably going to run with him the rest of
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 3: Is my number one.
Speaker 2: Number one I traded when Brayley broke his arm. It
Speaker 2: was it was before Origin when Brayley I think the
Speaker 2: Sharks had to buy Male was that brother was going
Speaker 2: to make the team. I traded him to Oliver Pasco.
Speaker 2: He was like two hundred and fifty k at the time,
Speaker 2: so been a nice little investment for me. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to run with him for the rest
Speaker 2: of the year, You're guilty.
Speaker 3: No'm I like my team. I don't think any of
Speaker 3: my team is like a guilty pleasure pick. But I'm
Speaker 3: looking potentially trying to bring key On in. I don't
Speaker 3: know why. I just after the buy. I think he's
Speaker 3: got a good run ahead of him, and I think
Speaker 3: the Rabbit is going to start to pick up skiing.
Speaker 3: But I'm looking a couple of weeks ahead.
Speaker 1: I've liked what Keyon. I started with him at the
Speaker 1: start of the year, had that off season surgery, so
Speaker 1: it was obviously a bad idea, then reaggravated or did
Speaker 1: something to his PCL, and he's really been struggling a
Speaker 1: little bit like what happened with Fletcher Sharp at the
Speaker 1: start of the season. But the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: I've liked what I've seen. You can get him for
Speaker 1: a pretty good price, so I don't hate.
Speaker 3: That y a couple of weeks ahead, buts my.
Speaker 1: Guilty pleasure is Jenkins. I mean, there are so many
Speaker 1: good buys this week, including Edwards and Homoli. Maybe not
Speaker 1: Homo after given that we think he might get caught
Speaker 1: into the Origin team, but certainly Edwards Jenkins, though, I
Speaker 1: just think Santa wing is the position where you make
Speaker 1: up ground. I'm ranked three thousandth at the moment. How
Speaker 1: am I going to make up that ground. It's probably
Speaker 1: not going to be by you know, playing it safe
Speaker 1: on Ford. We're going to go to the upside. So
Speaker 1: I think Jenkins could be that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't hate it. Don't hate it at all when
Speaker 2: you say he is pretty popular. So it's not like
Speaker 2: you make it that much ground if you probably is.
Speaker 2: It's more of a defensive move really than an offensive move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you put it like that, well let's talk.
Speaker 1: That's a perfect seaway to Pot of the week.
Speaker 2: I'm not It's no one that I bring in this week.
Speaker 2: It's something I've had since about round two or three.
Speaker 2: He's had a really underrated season. No one's talking about him.
Speaker 2: It's Isaiah Papali. I think he's flying, averaging about seventy
Speaker 2: four on the left edge outside Blas Delaney. He's had
Speaker 2: he's had four scores over ninety this season, so he's flying.
Speaker 2: His base seems to be about sixty to sixty five.
Speaker 2: So those attacking stats are going to come when you're
Speaker 2: outside Blaster Langey in that red hot side. He's got
Speaker 2: dual position as well, so he covers around eight team byers.
Speaker 2: So I think he's a good bye.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've gone, as we're talking about itself. Ever, I've
Speaker 3: actually gone with that beichorus. Our scores well against the Dolphins.
Speaker 3: They've got a couple guys out. I think Tom Taker
Speaker 3: won't play Max Plath we said is a big chance
Speaker 3: of missing out, So I think around that middle Saturday
Speaker 3: afternoon dry track at Campbelltown. I like what he can
Speaker 3: do this week. I think there's a big scorer in
Speaker 3: him despite historically or this year at least not scoring
Speaker 3: too too well.
Speaker 1: I like the Tigers obviously have a great draw, so
Speaker 1: I've got a Tiger as well. You're gonna hate this,
Speaker 1: I guarantee it. But Taylor may even though he's had
Speaker 1: two shoulder dislocations this year, on the weekend it looked
Speaker 1: like a world but like you would not have known
Speaker 1: at all, And I know that shoulder can pop out
Speaker 1: at any stage. But he's got a great buy schedule
Speaker 1: coming up. What are your thoughts on him just as
Speaker 1: a real real left field guy.
Speaker 3: We had a great view with him at the start
Speaker 3: of the week with Tailor just about that shoulder injury
Speaker 3: and what he can do. He told me it's it's
Speaker 3: so restricting. The taping that he has to go through
Speaker 3: to ensure that that arm does not move is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And I spoke to him after the game and he's
Speaker 3: telling me this, And I thought he played really well
Speaker 3: on the weekend. So if they can keep doing that,
Speaker 3: keep wrapping that shoulder up so it can't move it all,
Speaker 3: I think you are ahead of the curve on that bike.
Speaker 1: So what's the go like if it pops out again,
Speaker 1: is he gone for the season? I can just keep.
Speaker 3: Popping in and it keep yes. So what what he
Speaker 3: said was he need get the surgery at the end
Speaker 3: of the year. So you can either you know, stop
Speaker 3: playing now and get the surgery now, which will speed
Speaker 3: up the recovery, or you just get it when the
Speaker 3: season's done. And he does not. He thinks this team
Speaker 3: has a chance to make the finals and he's not
Speaker 3: missing out on that.
Speaker 1: So he said, I'm going to go until the wheels fall. Great,
Speaker 1: We've got on our captaincy for this week. What are
Speaker 1: you thinking.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking it'll depend if canum Plumber backs up, So
Speaker 2: if he doesn't, I'm going to go VC on fletchor Sharp,
Speaker 2: I think is a good shout. They probably Herbie Farnworth,
Speaker 2: You're just flying at the moment. Yeah, probably probably Herb
Speaker 2: be fine with it. Maybe even Terrell May. But through
Speaker 2: a load of work last weeks.
Speaker 1: Yep, so Herby as of last night, so this is
Speaker 1: not the updated numbers from this morning post origin, Herbey
Speaker 1: was at forty two VC. It's hard to honestly, it's
Speaker 1: going to be hard to go against that, except that
Speaker 1: him and Terol May are playing in the same game,
Speaker 1: and I'll like both of those guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got I've got Herbie as my VC at
Speaker 3: the moment, and then I'm actually captaining Terol May. Like
Speaker 3: I said, in that middle of the field, I think
Speaker 3: for the Dolphins will be a little bit weaker, and
Speaker 3: it's it's something that the Tigers for which could capitalize on.
Speaker 3: I don't like the Tigers out wide beat, but in
Speaker 3: that in that middle, I think I think there's points
Speaker 3: to be had in.
Speaker 1: Terms of a pod captaincy option this week. You're a
Speaker 1: Sharks fan and we're still not sure if Niko is
Speaker 1: going to play.
Speaker 4: That doesn't respond to my damn yeah, and we'll get
Speaker 4: someone chasing that for sure, we will find out for
Speaker 4: late mail, hopefully before that twenty four hour cutoff three percent.
Speaker 1: And in the final game of the round.
Speaker 3: Well I could.
Speaker 2: I could do that because I got to Murray Martin
Speaker 2: there also plays on the Sunday, so you think by
Speaker 2: Sunday you know if Niko is going to play or not.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to that game. So I might
Speaker 2: actually bring him in, depending how I feel were.
Speaker 1: The game, because your rule is usually if Niko's playing
Speaker 1: at Ocean Protects Stadium, Captain Systory. Yeah, yeah, even coming
Speaker 1: back from three or four weeks out with that calf injury.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's only three or four weeks, you think
Speaker 2: it's only your minor concern.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't like him though, I will say this,
Speaker 3: I don't like him against the Roosters this week. I
Speaker 3: think the Roosters are in for a big performance. The
Speaker 3: last probably four weeks haven't been great for him. At home.
Speaker 3: It's their first home game in a while. Sunday Night
Speaker 3: Sharks have been up for a little bit. I think
Speaker 3: it's a risky one.
Speaker 2: They get to buy next week too, so maybe they can't.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Brayley could be there. He's on the extended
Speaker 2: as well. I thought the Sharks were awesome last week.
Speaker 2: I thought they had like they just didn't have any
Speaker 2: tacking flair without Heines and Braley. So it's going to
Speaker 2: be a good game, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Right Well, that is it for our preview podcast. Big
Speaker 1: thanks to Jet Tyson. Check out Tyson's story on who's
Speaker 1: going to back up from Origin. Big thanks to you.
Speaker 1: We'll catch you next week.
