Michael Carryanus, 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:10.920 you'd be pretty happy about Magic Round. 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:12.560 Sure, why. 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:15.400 Excited? 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:17.079 I was excited for a weekend. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:17.480 I foot it. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.599 We're not there, so my excitement's tempered. 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.160 Well, the team that is there is Dave's Cronella Sharks, 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.720 but there's lots of teams out of there. They've been 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:26.119 dune it. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.800 Yeah, yeah, they've been doubtable. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:30.400 They're coming up against your Eels Mobs. 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.479 You so look, I know what you're referencing, and it 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.919 was actually to your credit, you highlighted this yourself. And 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.200 it is the short turnaround from being the last game 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.400 of the weekend against the West Tigers in that Golden 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.640 Point thriller and being the first cab off the rank 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.120 in Magic Round at six o'clock on Friday night against 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.680 the team coming off the buy ten day break ten 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.360 day break. If you even go a little bit further, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.240 we'll come back to this game, go a little bit further. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.640 The Sharks play next week. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:06.600 They play mainly mainly have the buye. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.200 Off the back of all their travel they did earlier 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:08.120 in the year. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.680 And what we do know about the Sharks is they 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.800 were with one of the Vegas teams and since then 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:17.880 they've gone to Townsvill, Canberra, Perth like last week, Newcastle, yeah, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:22.720 and now Brisbane. It's going to be a very tough 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.040 task for this Shark's side. 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:26.959 To find the energy. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.000 Against a paramoutic side with the with the kicking game 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.480 of Mitch Moses. Oh look, I'm sure, I'm certain they 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.959 can win. But a they're in a very very tough 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.760 spot with the amount of travel and the draw they've 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.600 been exposed to. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.320 The good news is mobbs that they've had a pretty 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.720 soft draw for the last few years, so it's caught 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:45.960 up with Oh okay. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:47.960 Wow. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.200 It is and they battled COVID and sickness and stuff 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:57.600 like that, right the Sharks, So. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.000 Two injuries creeping into the team as well. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.760 It's a battle for them just to sort of stay afloat. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.840 And I don't know how affected they will be by Origin. 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.880 I don't think that'll be all. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.560 That's going to be a massive bonus front where you know, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.360 hopefully by that stage, you know other sides are struggling 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.560 and battling around that period, they might be able to 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:18.320 cash in a little bit. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.160 What do you mean, hopefully other teams are struggling. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.560 Well like for them, you right, because they have have 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.160 have copped it. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.800 From what I understand is this week, the week consisted 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.119 of one training session. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.960 In preparation for paramatter. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.240 They fly to Brisbane today being Thursday, and get on 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.000 get on the field, and maybe maybe that's the perfect 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.360 response they need after a pretty disappointing performance with the 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.760 opportunity to win that game about six to seven times 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.160 against the Tigers. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.959 The best way to respond is to get back out there. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.480 But it's just a little case study in something you've 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.560 done over at Code Sports on the draw itself and just. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:05.760 Yeah, it's it's the hot It's incredibly lopsided and the 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:11.000 NRL acknowledged that it needs to be better and in 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.000 the future we'll see AI technology become involved in the 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.000 formation of the draw once we get Perth involved. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.880 But it's simply lotsided. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.920 The amount of travel some teams do compared to other 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:29.040 teams is extraordinary. The Bulldogs have got a terrific draw 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.360 this year, not leaving New South Wales sorry, leaving New 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.160 South Wales only a handful of time. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.280 First time last week. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.560 Last week yep, he got protroounced. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:42.000 And Brisbane's another great example, hardly leaving Sun Call and 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.080 you've got the Raiders the Sharks. Manly Anthony Seabe highlight 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.880 highlighted this three games in eleven days, like it's just 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.720 in a competition that is so physically taxing, how one 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.400 team can copy it. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.640 So much more severe than another. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.280 It's unfair games eleven days is crazy. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:01.760 It is. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.160 It shouldn't be happening. I know, like the travel and 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.760 the things like that. It's hard to maneuver because there's 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.560 never going to be a fair draw unless you play 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.119 everyone twice home and away, which is never gonna happen again. Right, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.120 So it's not gonna even if you play everyone once, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.000 teams are still going to travel more than others and 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.880 stuff like that. So unless you play everyone twice, we're 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.560 never going to have a full leaf fair draw. But 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.800 you shouldn't be playing three games in eleven days, or at. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.159 Least they gave the Broncos and Dolphins the away games 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.440 for magic this weekend. Yeah yeah, far you talk about draw, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:39.279 look team, I want to talk about the Newcastle Knights. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.000 Can they get a win against an injury rap injury 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.839 and suspension ravage South Sydney? 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:49.440 Well if they, if they can't jeez, like, if this 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.600 is if this is. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.960 Not their chance that when when? Yeah? 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.920 When, Like it's been a tough year for the Knights 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.520 attack wise, and then and the Rabbit O's have lost. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.839 So much in LUs, in their spine and in their leadership. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.320 Now Jack Watton gone for four weeks, guys with a 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.040 calf injury. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.039 Big loss. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.320 And so Lewis Dodd gets his opportunity against a Night 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.080 side that are just so desperate. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.520 He only needed five other people to drop off because 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.920 have a look at this south half's pecking order, Cody Walker, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.880 Jamie Humphries, Ji Gray, Latrell, Mitchell, Jack Whitton, Lewis Dodd 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.920 sixth in order to mike what's going on with Aden Sullivan? 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.640 Jaden Sullivan? You know seven? 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.800 Yeah, it's. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.840 There's lots of unpacking this game. Firstly, the day it's 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.760 point Newcastle, Like they obviously have struggled for points, they've 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.280 struggled to go forward. They're probably the best side they've 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.200 been able to put on paper this year. Is this 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.159 weekend right with all those forwards back and so you 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.160 know that helps them. But yeah, they need to win 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.520 this game Newcastle against the depleted South Sydney side, and 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.640 then you look at you know, on the flip side, 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.000 you look at Sous and you look at what Lewis 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.920 Dodd's going to do. All eyes will be on him. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.960 It is strange to see. It probably wasn't strange to 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.760 see him overlooked for the start of the season because 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.040 he had a shoulder injury and then that suspension, so 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.800 I was ineligible for week one and Jamie humph has 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.080 killed it and then you know, all right, jaded Sullivan 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.520 had started well with Katie work. I say, okay, so 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.919 I get it, but now I was shocked that they 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.479 didn't name him this weekend to start. So let's hope 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.240 he goes and puts in a performance that can keep 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.279 his spot because he's under a lot of scrutiny for 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.240 a kid that's out here on big money with big expectations. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.359 The big thing for the Knights is something you just 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.440 mentioned in relation to Cronulla, and it's how the Knights 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.919 get through the origin period because they will be without 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.400 Kylam Ponger, who we know in this game against South 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.279 Sydney will be the men that the Knights will be 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.520 looking to turn it on at Magic Round KP and 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.280 if they don't start banking wins now with him. It 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.840 doesn't augur well for when he is out due to origin. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.400 They have to win. They have to win Newcastle and 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.920 you know Ponger and Sharp and even Brad rebst there, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.000 they're front foot players right like Sharp and Ponger particularly, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.720 they just haven't had the forwards to get him on 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.040 the front foot of the Newcastle Knights because you know 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.840 the long injury told that they've had and you know 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.200 Lea Thompson's been basically trying to carry that forward pack 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.000 on his own to start the year. So I think 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.600 that helps THEEFEEDI back Elliott back, that that will give 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.680 him some go forward that they haven't had and they're 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.880 going to need that so they can have Sharp and 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.720 Ponger hopefully playing off the front foot. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.520 Do you think they'll lose potentially Bradman best of original 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:35.840 or you don't think he's in the running. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.840 I think he's in the running, but Newcastle's poor start 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.120 the season is going to hurt him. He's had cracking 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.320 performances when he's played for New South Wales in the past, 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.720 so yeah, he's definitely in the running, but he's sport 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.160 may depend on Tom Dravoiovich Latrelle. You know Stephen Crichton 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.000 will be there, so there are some things to play out. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.560 But yeah, he's definitely in the running, but they need 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.840 to find some points on the origin front. Who's your 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.720 Newspals Blues fullback. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.400 It's a great debate because. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.040 Due to the current form of the Penworth Pantss, Dylan 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.880 Edwards is suddenly under some scrutiny. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.239 Looked for me, I would stick with Edwards and I think. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.280 In that environment, elite players play to an elite level 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.560 and that's what Edwards does. He put him in the 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.800 environment and he will maintain his high standard of football. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.720 In saying that I just should should they go to Desco, Well, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.600 I wouldn't be shocked. Teddy's just flying at the moment. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.640 But for me, I would stick with Dylan Edwards. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:36.880 Yah. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.360 It's probably been in the same sort of debate the 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.959 last at least two seasons, and like I would pick 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.720 James Desco. I just think he's in outstanding form. And 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.719 you know Dylan that has been okay, but it hasn't know, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.240 he's been slow to find his feet, like look at 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:51.360 the Penrith side. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.120 So I do remember what Edwards did in last year's 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.400 years when he came back from injury, Teddy got his chance. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.000 Teddy didn't play bad at all. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.199 He was okay Teddy in the game one. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.720 Yeah, it wasn't It wasn't horrible. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:05.320 It wasn't horrible. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:05.720 No. 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.120 No, Like, I'm not going to sit and say they 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.280 have to pick James Tedesco because if they pick Dylan Edwards, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.319 I'll be like sweet, Like I'm not going to die 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.080 on this hill. But I would lean towards Tedesco just 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:17.560 because he's been incintilating form. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.040 Well. Blues coach Laurie Daly says that if I'm picking, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.680 I'm going to pick on form. So where does that 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:22.840 put Ryan Pappenhausen. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.960 Yeah, he's closet and he's been in and around that 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.120 new South Wild squad, you know, injuries of crawling from 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.160 playing making his debut. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.720 Butchies are a huge call to go Papenhausen over Edwards 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:36.280 and Tedesco. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.800 Yeah, it's a monster. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.080 Call for Laws. Yeah, he's got a couple of big ones. Mate. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.160 But if not, now for Papenhausen, when when does he 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.160 play Origin Because obviously injury could tailed him a couple 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.240 of years ago the Blues Undermadge seemed to move on 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.560 from Teddy last year. You could argue that Edwards isn't 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.240 in the greatest to form this year. I think he's 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.160 playing okay, but you know, it's tough in that pedes 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.719 Papenhausen is just such a freak moment. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:01.959 And he was close to the bench spot for a 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.640 couple of years as well, the very least because obviously 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.840 Tedesco was going to be the fullback and you know 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.160 that versatility that he offers in that and you know 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.360 he's done that job in Melbourne. You're going years back, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.680 but you know he's lost it. Like Connor Watson offers 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.000 more as a fourteen now and Tyrone Wish those sort 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.360 of players. So I don't I think it's either start 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.160 or nothing for Pappenhausen now, where a few years ago, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.800 the way the game was played, you probably would have 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.120 carried him or they were going to carrying him at 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.200 some stage on the bench. But yeah, I just think 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.360 that the way Teddy's playing, he's he's just. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.680 There's been plenty of great players that had to buy 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.400 their time. I mean the dealing Edwards is one of them. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:43.880 Such a way behind Teddy so perhaps just might have 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.040 to wait his time right. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.000 Something to watch out for this weekend. I need your 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.360 sinbin predictions. I need a number we have. Last week 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.280 we had eighteen. Just for a bit of context, we 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.680 had eighteen. Last round. We had eighteen in the first 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.960 five rounds. Yep, and Rabdo has obviously come out this 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.040 week and said there's probably been an over correction, and 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.440 so they're going to look at that. Give me a number. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:10.800 I'll go six. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.520 I was going to say six. I'll go seven. Yeah, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:17.480 I was going to go six. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:18.600 Yeah, why so few? 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.160 They won't want to frenzy last week. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.720 They won't want to ruin Magic Round. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.800 I did miss some last week. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.840 They won't want to done it before. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.160 We start earlier this year, so they got ahead of 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.880 all the resulting ground curve. Yeah, I'm going to what 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.760 are you saying, Mom's half that yeah number? 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:40.040 Yeah. Yeah. It's funny because I'm worried about the ground 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.880 at Magic Ground as well. Players are slipping. There's pretending 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.160 for high shots, that's what you're saying. Well, i'd have 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:47.640 it at eight. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:48.320 I have it. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:49.600 I don't think there's going to be an eight. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:50.120 Yeah. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.120 I've had eight text messages from trumpet. Oh my goodness, 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.680 that's what I've had eight of today? How only today? 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.839 How are they going to guarantee three percent home loans? 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.079 What about the iron can? I okay, wait for this? 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.839 Where's trumpet? Trumpet? 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.280 Let me alone for the election to be gone. I 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.520 didn't know this. You're an election hound? Love it? Oh? 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:14.760 He loves a worm? 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:20.120 I love? Don't you love news? I love tals rights? 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.160 Who's your bell? Weather seat? Like? I just love the 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:24.920 seven mania? 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.320 I love so earlier earlier today, at the top of 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.280 the show, Mobbsy said no one more excited about Magic 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:31.800 Around than Mick. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.040 Did you see his response? 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.640 He forgot it was on because the election is on 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.080 and he's an election hound. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:45.040 Last state election, I sort of had got the ABC 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.760 boys to switch the game, well, especially the seven thirty game, 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.599 so we could do the three pm game so I 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:50.840 would go home and watch the election. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:51.920 Wow. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.920 Yeah, this is believable. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.880 It's a lot harder year old. I don't even know 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.960 if I can watch the football the. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.880 Top off the top of my head, I don't know. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.480 Wich is the five point thirty Saturday game in Magic Round? However, 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.800 you will not be watching that game. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.000 No, of course we were in an ideal world, but 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.480 my household doesn't operate in an ideal world. At the moment, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.040 I'd have the footy on the big screen, and I'd 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.319 have the hypad. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.440 Out with the election costany Saturday, five point thirty pm. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.640 Warriors Cowboys, you were a million to one. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.719 I've got some very important Warriors fantasy players. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.160 Right which I want to move straight into that Lechahalacinoh, yeah, 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.240 this kid is really impressing. And you talk to the 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.320 people over at the Warriors and they're just they're saying, 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.360 we're just scratching the surface of what this kid's capable of. Obviously, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.880 we saw that try against the Tigers a few weeks ago, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.840 which just opened people's eyes. But this little production line 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.520 of Fords have got going through, and you take on 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:51.400 the Warriors, given how bad they were at Magic Round Vegas. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.880 Yeah, vegasrific. That was so bad in Vekers, it was 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.120 so bad. Yeah, And like they were so bad. I 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.080 had a good time a couple of weeks ago. They 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.000 had a good time also bad a couple of weeks 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.760 ago as well. But I think that stems in from 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.520 an inexperienced Hars parent that haven't played a lot of 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:09.760 first grade and had a lot of played a lot 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.760 of first grade together, and then into those young rising 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.960 forwards who aren't going to find that level of consistency 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.640 that they need. But there is tremendous upside in this 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.080 Warriors side. And you know, one of the unsung players 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.640 of the competition at the moment's Wade Egan like and 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.720 he looks fit like the probably way like towards the 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.120 back end of the years, the last few years, he 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.080 looks batter, you know, but he's looking free and stuff 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.760 like that. So yeah, they're just sneaking along quietly. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.400 The word boys, we're rocked tough out that way. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:43.440 So he might be a great buy for the grades. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:44.680 He's been real good. 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.200 Yeah, you've been, I've been. You talk to the Warriors. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.400 For the last three to four years, the name of 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.920 Lekka hallis seem has been the one name that just 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.640 keeps coming back to us for the last three or 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.720 four years, and to the point of which when they 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.760 released Zion Mayou earlier these year, to the Bulldogs, Warriors 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.160 fans were up in arts, how could you do this? 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.080 We love the look of Zion. Well, they knew exactly 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.680 what they were doing. They knew what that was coming through. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.520 And he's not alone. Apparently they got a couple all 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.800 those rises forwards that they just as you said, they 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:16.560 don't know how good they. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:17.040 Can be yet. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.360 Yeah, have a look at the Harold Matt's team as 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.560 well as a young fullback there just lighting things up. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.960 They're just starting to really get that production line going, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.680 which could bode really well for him. Another young kid. 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.680 Want to talk about like in King Tongia. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.120 Yeah, gets his opportunity Mobs. He's played a couple of 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.640 games last year. Last year, Yeah, I look talking to 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.440 the Dragons coaching staff about like, and they're excited to 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.280 see his running game. He doesn't mind taking the line 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.080 on liking so and that's something that they wanted Lachlan 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.840 Elias to do more of and it just wasn't forthcoming 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.800 and so like, and he's got a lot of confidence 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.080 and has been playing very well in the New South 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.240 Wales Cup. He's defender as well, which is certainly something 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.160 that Elias has been spotlighted for. As far as his 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.200 relegation to reserve grad what about Lachland Alias, he goes 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.880 from the potential of playing in front of forty forty 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.400 five thousand magic round to lid come over on Sunday 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.080 against in front of about five hundred people to get 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.480 his career back on track into the new South Wales Cup. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:30.160 It's good enough for Locky Galvin mate for it's key 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.240 for the Locke eh yeah Queenslander. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.720 Yep, yeez. Come played his junior footy with Dorby. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.680 Okay, yep Derby Devils. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.240 Maybe I might be wrong there, but yeah he's a 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:45.080 very good talent. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.880 Just three signed h castle are in for him, so 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.880 it's I think the Dragons definitely need some spark, they 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.880 need some speed and that's probably the criticism of the 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.120 Dragon so far is just a lack of running threats. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.160 To Dave's point. You know, with Kyle, Funny is always 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.840 in the game, right you see him were with the Boy. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.600 He's always supporting, he's always pushing up, he's always the 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.879 one leading the kickchase, He's doing all those effort areas. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.080 But what he does like his speed, right, and this 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.080 is what you know the Dragons and that's why they 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.600 bought Daniel Andkinson. Who's going to provide a bit of 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.800 spark I guess next year in the hars but like 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.280 and gets an opportunity now to hopefully just kickstart that 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.360 dragon's attack a bit. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.520 Yeah, what are the Gold Coast Titans have to do 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.400 this weekend? Well, I know what they have. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.160 To have to show a bit of grit and resilience. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:36.520 But des has the deflector at his ultimate best this week. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.920 Made outstanding, very amusing when he listened to des rant 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.480 for whatever and then travels like, you're not trying to 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.840 deflect from your four straight losses or whatever it is, 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.040 and they's like you said that. I guess No, I didn't. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.040 I was just asking Trav them fire there. 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:56.720 But oh, I think he's who does he think he's 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.520 fooling or does he just like playing the mind game. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.200 Look, I've got concerns for the Titans and I can't 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.040 I can't get my head around their roster management. Like 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.119 Aj Brimson's on around eight hundred thousand dollars and he's 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.000 I think the overwhelming belief is his best. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.880 He's shown his best football at fullback and that's. 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.080 That's big money, of which you would pay a decent fullback. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:21.000 But he's not playing there. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.200 They've got clearly got injury with Kieren for and their 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.720 experience half on the sideline. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:28.400 That's a problem. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.399 They need to They need to sort this, David for 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.360 Food a situation out. I think it's been an unmitigated disaster, 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.400 this million dollar signing of a back rowa who can 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.879 only touch the ball when the attack is set up 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.919 for him to touch the ball. At his best, he's devastating. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.320 At his worst, he's non existent. And we see him 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.359 demoted from this team by Des Haslar. 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.960 And it's almost a realization Dares. 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.560 Of what Billy Slater saw in last year's Origin series 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.520 by overlooking Dave Feeder for the entire series. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.280
