Speaker 1: Welcome to the Code NRL show.
Speaker 2: Dave Ricky he has always with Michael carrianas as always,
Speaker 2: and the other as always is not always here. No,
Speaker 2: because he's gone today. Brent Ferree read zone a great
Speaker 2: day for everyone. He's still recovering from Origin. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: going to get therapy on how to better understand Origin.
Speaker 3: What about it? What about is he?
Speaker 4: Tigers are gone, Broncos are no good, Storm a struggling
Speaker 4: Manly have hit a wall.
Speaker 1: All his teams are gone.
Speaker 3: Sorry Brent.
Speaker 1: Oh Well, the show rolls on, Mickey.
Speaker 2: It's been an incredible week of news in rugby league,
Speaker 2: as it always is, but not havely The West Tigers.
Speaker 2: Jerome Lui the story that broke last I think it
Speaker 2: was last Thursday. It was last Thursday afternoon that the
Speaker 2: news of lou eyes impending departure from the Tigers unfolded,
Speaker 2: and he has just fronted the press today to discuss
Speaker 2: that departure.
Speaker 1: He speaks pretty well, doesn't he.
Speaker 4: He's great talent, Jerome, and he's pretty direct, pretty forthright.
Speaker 4: Takes ownership and there's a couple of interesting things that
Speaker 4: he said around you know, if I derailed the season
Speaker 4: because of my move to PNG, I'll wear that right,
Speaker 4: that's on me, right, And then you know, some conversations
Speaker 4: around his form and if he's not playing well, well,
Speaker 4: he's had a conversation with Benji to pick other players
Speaker 4: if he doesn't feel like you know, if he wants
Speaker 4: to make that change. And you know said he was
Speaker 4: shocked and surprised by the Tiger's decision, but after he
Speaker 4: wore it and came to terms with it, understood what
Speaker 4: they wanted to do. Yeah, Jerome is a great media talent,
Speaker 4: and you know, he's one of the he's one of
Speaker 4: the good interviews in the game.
Speaker 2: Interesting at that point that you made in relation to
Speaker 2: the exit from the Tigers and going to someone with
Speaker 2: P and G and he said, I if that moment
Speaker 2: in time derailed our season, that's on me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How do you think Tigers fans and Tigers teammates feel?
Speaker 4: You know, what was he supposed to do, Dave? Because
Speaker 4: of the structure of that contract. You know, the Tigers
Speaker 4: are to blame in a way as well for putting
Speaker 4: the clauses and the time ins around those clauses in.
Speaker 1: But you can understand why they had to.
Speaker 4: I understand why they had to, but this was always
Speaker 4: the risk that when you did that, this was going
Speaker 4: to be the outcome. I understand all parties in this situation, right.
Speaker 4: I understand your own chasing the cash and going to
Speaker 4: P and G. I understand why the Tigers put those
Speaker 4: clauses in because they were you know, they signed a
Speaker 4: premiership winning player when they'll bottom of the competition, right,
Speaker 4: And I understand why the Tigers have said to him,
Speaker 4: all right, thank you mate, but you're going at the
Speaker 4: end of the season. So I understand it all. Whilst
Speaker 4: it's created headlines and you know, some strong storylines for
Speaker 4: us because it's big story. They're all big stories, right,
Speaker 4: But I get it, and I'm not critical of anyone
Speaker 4: in this situation. It's it's the circumstances which have led
Speaker 4: to these decisions.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the social media posts weren't brought up at the
Speaker 2: press contest.
Speaker 3: Found that weird.
Speaker 4: I would like to have known, because I'm not an
Speaker 4: anime expert. I don't understand what any of that means.
Speaker 1: You Dave.
Speaker 2: Probably not how crazy mate, Brent really do? I understand,
Speaker 2: To be honest, he would have some type of theory.
Speaker 1: I don't know that didn't come up interesting the club captains.
Speaker 1: He didn't come up either.
Speaker 2: That'll be interesting to see if he if he retains
Speaker 2: that for the remainder of the season.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts there.
Speaker 3: Like, I think he should play.
Speaker 4: I've got no issues with him playing and captain in
Speaker 4: in the interim well for the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Well he's only there for the rest of
Speaker 3: the year.
Speaker 1: I understand. But but what if it.
Speaker 2: Just goes a bit even further south for the West
Speaker 2: Tigers over the next three matches.
Speaker 4: Where they lose in they lose, depends on his performance,
Speaker 4: depends on injury situation. But they're you know, they still
Speaker 4: talk and Benji was quite defiant about playing finals footy
Speaker 4: or if there are any chance of playing finals footy,
Speaker 4: they need.
Speaker 3: Jerome to be playing near his best.
Speaker 1: YEP. Agree.
Speaker 4: So whilst they're in finals contention, whilst they feel like
Speaker 4: they can, they need your own playing there.
Speaker 3: So I don't. I wouldn't be banishing him, I just wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Does it set the West Tigers back next season?
Speaker 4: Well, they're not a better side with Jerome Luai out
Speaker 4: of it, all right, So that's that's the point. But
Speaker 4: I get what they did. I understand and they can,
Speaker 4: you know, spread the love a little bit. We heard
Speaker 4: Benji talk around their depth and their lack of depth
Speaker 4: this year, and that's hurt them because they've had injuries
Speaker 4: to keep players. And you know, it doesn't matter which
Speaker 4: club you are. If you lose your top five players,
Speaker 4: and they've probably lost their top five players at times
Speaker 4: throughout the season, you're going to struggle.
Speaker 3: Right So, but their depth levels aren't there.
Speaker 4: They've had blokes out are trained and trials play first
Speaker 4: grade and stuff this year, right so, but the market's
Speaker 4: pretty bare. So if you sat there and go, well,
Speaker 4: their squad's going to be improved next year, don't see
Speaker 4: it because they've signed Jaca Varello and that's really it
Speaker 4: at the moment. So unless they get a few more
Speaker 4: signs between now and next season, they're a weaker squad
Speaker 4: without Jerome LAWA next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 4: Paramatta great good, not a great signing. Good signing for Paramatter,
Speaker 4: good signing for Paramatter. Look, the reason everyone's been so
Speaker 4: critical is the mixed results of the Jonah Pezzant deal
Speaker 4: this year. Right, Jonah Pezzert and Jerome Law are completely different,
Speaker 4: completely different in terms of stylistic right, Jerome Lawa is
Speaker 4: a five eighthjon isn't on the ball half in terms
Speaker 4: of what they've achieved in the game, in terms of
Speaker 4: the relationship already with Mitch Moses, and the fact that
Speaker 4: you know, Paramatta have these two young hars that they
Speaker 4: believe will be first grade ready by twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 4: not next year. Okay, So this buys them some time,
Speaker 4: and it also allows you look at Talon of Silver
Speaker 4: and Aziyongi in another twelve months time, they're going to
Speaker 4: be eighty plus gamers into their career. They might by
Speaker 4: that stage they can have a rookie five eighth in
Speaker 4: that spine you throw them in next year. These guys
Speaker 4: are still learning, but three four years into first grade
Speaker 4: now they should be able to take that next step
Speaker 4: by twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Interesting point you make, Dear Mick about Jonah with comparisons
Speaker 2: with Jonah Peazant and maybe Paraffins are a little bit
Speaker 2: nervous about picking up another.
Speaker 1: Twelve month player.
Speaker 2: I just don't think Jerome's been Jerome like the elite
Speaker 2: level Jerome. Yeah, on a consistent basis at the West Tigers,
Speaker 2: I think that's.
Speaker 1: A level of concern. Of course, of course all paraffins.
Speaker 4: But who if you sat down and said, who's one
Speaker 4: of the closest players to Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 1: In the competition, closest players to Nathan Cleary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in terms of half backs, well, Mitch and Moses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you feel that that combination from Penrith can
Speaker 2: be replicated.
Speaker 4: Jerome's at his best when he's carefree, ad lib stepping
Speaker 4: on the inside, playing off the cuff, and Mitch's at
Speaker 4: his best when he's run on the side and getting
Speaker 4: players to into the field. Right, So it will work.
Speaker 4: That combination will work. But I feel like that freedom
Speaker 4: hens mark too well. I wouldn't go that far with
Speaker 4: well for Paramatta, I just caught playing finals. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like that combination will work, and not going
Speaker 4: with the expectation of being the man in the halves
Speaker 4: and this will be his challenge of the Chiefs because
Speaker 4: it might have to be the main man in the hearts.
Speaker 4: It goes to Paramatta. It's Mitch's team, it's not Jerome's team.
Speaker 2: Paramattera still need a front railer as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 2: they still need an outside back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're desperate for those two positions.
Speaker 1: I'm just wonder whether they go.
Speaker 2: I wonder if the influence of what we saw of Jerome,
Speaker 2: because I firmly believe he did shift the dialog of
Speaker 2: the West Tigers of being a more attractive club now
Speaker 2: makes it Paramatta.
Speaker 1: More more of an attractive club. And Spencer lenu but
Speaker 1: that's high.
Speaker 4: They are tight, and Spencer lives in and around Paramata's
Speaker 4: training facility. But yeah, I thought that would have moved
Speaker 4: by now, but it hasn't. That Spencer deal, you know.
Speaker 4: Jerome was asked, was your time at the West Tigers success?
Speaker 4: And he thought, back on the journey, I think from
Speaker 4: the gun, but.
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's hard to measure success, but
Speaker 4: it's easy to measure success.
Speaker 1: Jerome was saying, what do you think? Of course I
Speaker 1: have partly partly, but he and I know I don't
Speaker 1: dare as I said, he shifted the doll.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't sign. They don't sign to RuvA. They're
Speaker 4: not They're not in. They're in a much better situation
Speaker 4: because they signed you are. No doubt, wins and losses
Speaker 4: haven't equated to that. But the club is in a
Speaker 4: much better spot.
Speaker 2: I said, we're not playing for wooden spoons anymore, which
Speaker 2: is it wasn't.
Speaker 4: The same lofty expectations that he set when he went.
Speaker 4: But they're not playing for spoons anymore. They're in a
Speaker 4: better spot. It was a good signing, and I think
Speaker 4: the Tigers in a way because Jerome's Drame's interesting, right,
Speaker 4: Like is one point two Salary's he a one point
Speaker 4: two me and all the play right? Yeah, but they've
Speaker 4: got the best out of him in terms of what
Speaker 4: he's been able to deliver off the field on the field,
Speaker 4: in terms of players that have been able to recruit.
Speaker 4: So I think, and I understand this is not a
Speaker 4: criticism on Tigers. We're putting those clauses in No, I
Speaker 4: get it right, But I think he hasn't done his
Speaker 4: job at the West Tigers. Our job would have been
Speaker 4: playing finals. But they're in a better spot than when
Speaker 4: he got there.
Speaker 2: Mixed significant story broke yesterday Zach Lomax in talks with
Speaker 2: the P and G chiefs.
Speaker 1: What's happening here? Will he end up signing.
Speaker 4: The story's twofold right. Firstly, Brendered had the story that
Speaker 4: Melbourne had approached Zach Lomax about playing for the club
Speaker 4: next season. Paramatt had given their blessing because Paramad owned
Speaker 4: the rights to Zach for twenty six twenty seven, but
Speaker 4: and they wanted Jack Howarth in return. Zack said no, right,
Speaker 4: which let's rewind a little bit. This is what kills me.
Speaker 4: Six months ago told Zach Lomax Stager could have been
Speaker 4: done and dusted if Melbourne agreed to release Jack Hawth
Speaker 4: to sign Zach Lomax, because that would have been done
Speaker 4: in the preseason because that's who PARAMOUNTA won it.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Zach said, no, not happening. And why is that
Speaker 3: not happening? Right? Because you know.
Speaker 4: He's got contracted to Australian rugby at Western Force for
Speaker 4: next season, so you can understand that. And then here
Speaker 4: come the Chiefs made a pitch for Zach Lomas. I
Speaker 4: think it's a three year offer on the table for Zach,
Speaker 4: and I think it's probably more likely than not that
Speaker 4: he ends up as a Chief in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: He's heading up to to have a look around.
Speaker 4: He will at some point, yeah he will, at some point.
Speaker 4: He's been there before for some PMS games, but yeah,
Speaker 4: he will. He will head there. And I think if
Speaker 4: everything's okay. He will sign with the Chiefs, and I
Speaker 4: think it's a it's a really good sign. Like there's
Speaker 4: been some criticism of Zak as a gun player. He's
Speaker 4: a gun player at the top of his like I
Speaker 4: have not like when he was playing on the wing. Right,
Speaker 4: There's been better wingers, okay, but in terms of the
Speaker 4: outcome an influencing results for their team, I'm not sure
Speaker 4: if I've seen that too often of the influence that
Speaker 4: a winger had on results, and Zach did that in
Speaker 4: his last year at the Dragons and paramatter we'd have.
Speaker 2: Got Na Barney with Paul Crawley on three sixty about this,
Speaker 2: about how Paramatta have desperately missed Zach Lomax this season.
Speaker 2: He led them meters. He made the most amount of
Speaker 2: meters at Paramatta tackle bus. He's a goal kicker. He
Speaker 2: shifted the game of which at times this season Paramatta
Speaker 2: have desperately needed that that circuit breaker.
Speaker 1: Of a player.
Speaker 2: And yes, he was a winger, but he was able
Speaker 2: to You'd seen him move infield and change games.
Speaker 3: He's an elite player.
Speaker 4: And if you throw him in and you know, you
Speaker 4: look at the Chiefs and if you go before before
Speaker 4: November one. So November one is when they're really you know,
Speaker 4: they've been able to have a double on the open market,
Speaker 4: but November one is when they hit the ground running
Speaker 4: in terms of you know, they've already got Jerome, They've
Speaker 4: got Connor Watson, Alix Johnson, maybe Zach Lomax, Maddie Lee's
Speaker 4: from the Super League. That's a pretty impressive call. Five
Speaker 4: before before their real trade window opens in November. So
Speaker 4: they've done a great job and they've got this opportunity
Speaker 4: to now when it gets to November one, if Nathan
Speaker 4: Clear is on the market, if Sam Walker's on the mark,
Speaker 4: whatever marquee, you go, well, yeah, we want you, we
Speaker 4: need you, and but you're not taking a leap of
Speaker 4: faith because we've already got this surrounding you. Usually for
Speaker 4: new clubs, and it's been the same with Perth and
Speaker 4: the Dolphins were similar case. They've been waiting for something
Speaker 4: like they needed a marquee to set the tone. Well Perth,
Speaker 4: so PG I've already set the tone.
Speaker 2: My question is how and how the heck have have
Speaker 2: the Perth Bears. He's playing with Western falls over the
Speaker 2: back fence of the Bears and.
Speaker 1: Well, not a play.
Speaker 3: I don't understand. I don't know how he's not.
Speaker 4: Like if you sat down if the news break yesterday
Speaker 4: that he's signed with Perth, I'd be like, yeah, awesome,
Speaker 4: get it right. The fact that p G have slipped
Speaker 4: under their guard and it look like they're going to
Speaker 4: get the deal done just shows things that are happening
Speaker 4: with Perth, and I don't know how slow things are.
Speaker 4: And they start training this November, you might be playing
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 1: Oh I've got a little bit of speed out of
Speaker 1: dummy ars.
Speaker 2: Crafty, crafty, extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Zach Climax, I reckon he'll be there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Good to have him back in the game too. And
Speaker 4: you know there's obviously the rhetoric around his contracts and
Speaker 4: things and stuff. But I think if Zach Climax is
Speaker 4: available and your PNG, you have to get him.
Speaker 3: And they're doing a great job.
Speaker 2: Make a huge game at Ocean Protects Stadium, Sharks Verse
Speaker 2: newcast all the Shark's coming off an extraordinary sixty six
Speaker 2: niel thrashing of the Dolphins. I just couldn't believe my
Speaker 2: eyes when I saw that performer. We'll stop more so
Speaker 2: to score on yeap. Huge game bit of breaking news
Speaker 2: in the Telly yesterday Toby Rudolph set to stay at
Speaker 2: the club.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I had a long term three year off on the
Speaker 4: table from Catalan's Dragons, but has opted to take a
Speaker 4: twelve month extension at the Sharks. Look, it's all but done. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they've agreed to Look, it will happen. He hasn't put
Speaker 4: pens of paper yet, but it will happen. Toby Rudolff
Speaker 4: will remain at the Sharks for another twelve months. And
Speaker 4: it's interesting because the've probably offered similar deals to other
Speaker 4: players in terms of twelve month contracts, but they've gone
Speaker 4: and chased longer term deals, which is their prerogative. But
Speaker 4: Toby Rudolph to stay there, and I think he's been
Speaker 4: really good and really important.
Speaker 1: For super consistent. He's a really really important member of
Speaker 1: that that forward pack.
Speaker 2: And while we're talking about the Sharks beating it at Dolphins,
Speaker 2: it must be said that Toby's not part of that
Speaker 2: and he has been a mainstay of that pack. So
Speaker 2: too Brandon Jesse Calhoun didn't play. Britain Niker It didn't play.
Speaker 2: So here they are up against the Knights and there's
Speaker 2: a real sense within this Shark's team for everything we
Speaker 2: just spoke about me that this is it, this is
Speaker 2: the window, this is the chance they have to go
Speaker 2: for the throat with Jesse Raymian, Cameron mcinness, talks for
Speaker 2: Talakai all moving on at the end of this season.
Speaker 2: And these these that's been the core group of Craig
Speaker 2: fitzgibbons past four years that have made problems and certainly
Speaker 2: internally at the Sharks that's been spoken about brought by
Speaker 2: these players. They've only got this chance. And it's an
Speaker 2: interesting thing that Sam Stonestree had played a long block
Speaker 2: of games for Kanulla with injured now was given the
Speaker 2: chance to come back into this team out of the
Speaker 2: words of Craig Fitzgibbon, because he earned he had earned
Speaker 2: the right to finish, to finish his career with the
Speaker 2: goal that he's attempting to achieve and that he's a
Speaker 2: premiership and I reckon you can see it in their
Speaker 2: performance is we and tomorrow?
Speaker 4: No, it's huge, huge game, Yeah, huge game and the
Speaker 4: form of Braidon Triple bro I think Blake Bradley is
Speaker 4: their most important playoff but Bradon Trindle is just if
Speaker 4: he can We've spoken about this before. If he can
Speaker 4: mirror Will Kennedy in a way and bridge the gap
Speaker 4: between his best and worst performance, which has been will
Speaker 4: strength over the last two seasons, I think we will right.
Speaker 4: If Braiden can just bridge that gap, like his ceilings
Speaker 4: bigger than wheels, obviously, if he can bridge that gap
Speaker 4: between his best and his worst, they can do damage.
Speaker 4: I know everyone focuses on Nico, but Brandon Trindle is
Speaker 4: the chief playmaker there, and it's Nico's the past two
Speaker 4: performances that being the best for the past season and
Speaker 4: a bit. Yeah, right, so, but I think that comes
Speaker 4: with what where Braiden's ad and Braiden's game For mine,
Speaker 4: Braiden's the most important half. But Nico's running game is
Speaker 4: his strength and he's shown it the last week. So
Speaker 4: they've been impressive.
Speaker 3: The Sharks.
Speaker 2: You're right about Trindle because there are there's nine out
Speaker 2: of ten games and then there's the Sixers, and if
Speaker 2: he can get the Sixers up to a seven and
Speaker 2: eight and sit at seven and eight, then the Sharks
Speaker 2: are serious, serious threat.
Speaker 3: And that's what Will Kennedy's done.
Speaker 1: Will Kennedy has been an eight every week.
Speaker 4: That's it right, like there's not much fluctuation between his
Speaker 4: performances where they used to be right, but now I
Speaker 4: think he's just found that level of consistency and he's
Speaker 4: doing a great job for him.
Speaker 2: Credit to Fitzi there, because he's copped a lot of
Speaker 2: crap over the over the past four years about not
Speaker 2: shifting this roster, and he's a coach that that backs.
Speaker 2: He's well backs, he's judgment, back's what he's seeing and
Speaker 2: if you actually assess it, he has slowly drip fed
Speaker 2: a player or two out of his his roster over
Speaker 2: the past four years. And with the greatest respect to
Speaker 2: each of those drip fed players that have left the roster,
Speaker 2: they haven't gone on and been household successes. When he
Speaker 2: makes the call, he makes the call. But when he
Speaker 2: sticks by the player, he has every reason to do that.
Speaker 2: And I think they're repaying him. Will Kennedy is an example,
Speaker 2: Brandon Trindle another example.
Speaker 4: They got to repay him in the business end, they
Speaker 4: Dave's got to get this has been the look. I
Speaker 4: think there's three elite teams in this competition, Penrith, Warriors, Roosters,
Speaker 4: and I think Sharks said that that's fair that that
Speaker 4: next year yep, and the question still remains can they
Speaker 4: mix it with the big boys?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I put them on part with the Warriors to be honest.
Speaker 2: I just think this year because they've beat them.
Speaker 4: But Newcastle, Yeah, that performance on the weekend has been
Speaker 4: coming for a few weeks like that.
Speaker 3: Like, I know they probably should have.
Speaker 4: Scored earlier, but they got blown away and you know,
Speaker 4: did world of salvage the game? Really But I feel
Speaker 4: like that's been building, Like they've got away with some
Speaker 4: oh yeah we got against Saints and Ty like they
Speaker 4: were ugly, Like credit to them, they still winning. That's
Speaker 4: that they found a way to win, which is so important.
Speaker 4: But like that performance has been coming and I'm very
Speaker 4: concerned around their middles when the Jacob Seffidi now a
Speaker 4: few other injuries have now crept into their forward pack
Speaker 4: and that's a concern for Gran. McEwan has been a
Speaker 4: good player, we've got a hop, we've got a shot
Speaker 4: and then he's out now, so there's a few of
Speaker 4: they don't have the depth in the middle of the
Speaker 4: field and I think that's where Brayley can have some
Speaker 4: real joy.
Speaker 2: Well that's the I think the matchup is Coronella are
Speaker 2: much stronger through the middle, and then you would argue
Speaker 2: that the Knights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Edges still more potent.
Speaker 4: It's not a bad edge for Cornala when you got
Speaker 4: not bagging. I've got some Bradman best is in doubt
Speaker 4: for this game, so keep it eye on it and
Speaker 4: also Greg Marzoo so if they are out, there're two
Speaker 4: big outs for Newcastle.
Speaker 3: Bradman needs to play for it.
Speaker 2: Let's rip through these tips, just on that one. Who
Speaker 2: are you going with, Sharks? That's a night's game, Broncos.
Speaker 1: Come on now. If RIDI was here, I.
Speaker 3: Went to there first game. I always te Brisbane.
Speaker 4: I don't know why he sounded like buzz. Then it's
Speaker 4: Penrith all day for me. I know it's.
Speaker 3: Chips all day, not all day, it's Chips.
Speaker 2: All in for Milcom the squad. He's a very good team.
Speaker 2: Interesting left out, Billy Waltters the good team. It's a good,
Speaker 2: great day. But Penrith, Yeah, Penrith, Roosters, Storm.
Speaker 3: Melbourne, no Monster, no Hughes, Oh my goodness, Risters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, rosters. They're my minor premiers. Uh yeah, tip them
Speaker 1: the tip the chicks to be my minor premiers.
Speaker 3: Are you still on that?
Speaker 1: Can they catch them? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Now the Brisbane beat Penrith and then they went I
Speaker 4: had Penrith Roosters in the Grand finals.
Speaker 3: But yeah they're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon raised the tough Ones Raiders Rabbits down in Camberra.
Speaker 1: That's a tough teap. I struggled there, Yeah, definitely struggled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Raiders a good look.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The compleasing thing about the Raiders was the form of
Speaker 4: party and Ethan Sanders.
Speaker 3: Last week they were really good.
Speaker 4: And we heard Rickie come out of his press there
Speaker 4: and walk around the middle playing the platform and easier
Speaker 4: for their boys.
Speaker 3: But they were super impressive last week against the Dogs.
Speaker 2: But flip a coin for me, sous, Yeah, I'll go
Speaker 2: the Buddies Warriors, Dragons got together Warriors.
Speaker 1: Again, so George and La Warrior.
Speaker 2: I think they've shown glimpses and they're coming off her
Speaker 2: last start win against the West Tigers.
Speaker 1: They had to buy and they're flying over today being Thursday.
Speaker 3: A couple of tough ones. The round out round out
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 2: Bulldogs Tigers Bulldogs for me, yeah, not with great confidence,
Speaker 2: only because I think the West Tigers are struggling.
Speaker 4: I just haven't liked what I've seen from the Tigers,
Speaker 4: like not like this energy.
Speaker 1: It's gone.
Speaker 3: Yep, it's gone.
Speaker 1: It's gone.
Speaker 3: That's the concern. So yeah, the Bulldogs were really bad
Speaker 3: last week too. I'll go Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: And is Manly on Sunday afternoon. Absolutely massive game for Mely.
Speaker 3: This is a toss of the coin, this one.
Speaker 1: You like, Yeah, the Gold Coast are going good.
Speaker 3: I'm going Manly, but.
Speaker 4: Like, I don't think it's as big of an upset
Speaker 4: for the Titans to get the job done.
Speaker 1: No, no, I agree with you, but it's mainly for me.
Speaker 3: And this one too.
Speaker 2: Dolphins Cowboys Final game of the weekend Dolphins Cowboys. Okay,
