1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Hello, super Coach. Is only a week and a half

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: to go to the start of the season in Vegas,

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: which is the perfect time for our hot Takes episode.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: We've got a big panel as well with Tyson Jackson

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: and Mark Barnes. Tice introduce you first mate, Daily Telegraph

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Rugby League reporter. You've played duringior footy with a whole

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: bunch of Errold clubs as well. How's your team shaping up.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm one of those people that I'm a bit scared

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: to make my team too early.

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: You know.

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I started to earmark a couple of people from trials,

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: but yes, so far there's a bit of an empty

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: canvas for me. I'm just gonna wait until yeah last

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: trial and maybe team this Tuesday to finalize a couple

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: of things.

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I try not to open the app at all

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: and just get as much info as possible and then

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: in the last week then really smash it up. Mark

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: Barnes is here as well. Thirty fourth last year, you're

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: as high as second with only a couple of weeks

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: to go. What happened there, Tommy?

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: I went for glory because you know, as I say

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: in Taller Dagon Night's Ricky Bobby, You're not first, your last,

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: So the only chance of hitting first was to make

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: some moves at the end. And I feel a bit

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: bad too, because I came onto the show and I

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: gave him a bit of feedback and stuff.

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 4: On my guys to target. Yeah, and it was working for.

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: Like twenty four rounds like so good, and then it

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: was like right Brian to Jerome Lewy playing seven. Both

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 3: of them were terrible, went over my man Daniel Tupe

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: were probably average seventy five points eighty points for that run.

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: And I had no Storm players for last week, where

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: Jerome Hughes scored one hundred and eighty four and Warbrick

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: was like one hundred and seventy.

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's what happened, mate.

37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: I cud do some different players got bar Needin who

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: went off injured in round twenty six and then didn't

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: play around twenty seven because of the bye.

40
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: The rest is history, not the first.

41
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: The problem was coming on this podcast and giving away

42
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: all your secrets.

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: Well, I look it was. It was a lot of fun.

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: So you know, look, if I got to give up

45
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: fifty grand and not come first, I'll do it for

46
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: the teammate.

47
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeap fair enough. You also were in NBL Supercow MBL

48
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: some stations this year.

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, about the midpoint.

50
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: And I really enjoyed the NBL because it's so different

51
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: to the NFL supercoat stuff. It's very schedule based, a

52
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 3: lot of planning ahead and smaller squads and that was

53
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. So I was doing pretty well

54
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 3: in the top five for a few weeks there and

55
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: ended up.

56
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: Finished one hundred and thirty six ish at the end.

57
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: It's still very sock dropped out, you know. And I

58
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: did the same thing though, you know I should. It's

59
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: got to come off eventually, doesn't it. Where it's like

60
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: right time to make a run, four weeks to go,

61
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: do some different moves. Unfortunately, in MBL with a different

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: sport format, it means that if you do take a part,

63
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: you're in big trouble if it doesn't come off, because

64
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: a lot of the teams are similar. So the guys

65
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: that you fade, everybody's got them. That's what happened.

66
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Some big breaking news coming through this morning that Jacob

67
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: kraz is out indefinitely. Now some conflicting reports here, so

68
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: originally it was out indefinitely, and then Phil Gord came

69
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: out and said it's a pain tolerance issue and it's

70
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: up to Jacob when he returns. Is that him trying

71
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: to rev up carraz I don't really. I don't know

72
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: what goes on in the mind of Phil Gold. In

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: any case, they've got some options there. Sorry. They've also

74
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: got Twala out for ten weeks with a broken foot,

75
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: so a bit short in the outside backs. They could

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: go Tracy to the winning and taft fullback Blake Wilson

77
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: is apparently carrying an injury, so it doesn't look like

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: he'll play around one. But some of the young guys

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: coming through there you've actually played with or against, including

80
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: John O Sewer, who was great in the trial on

81
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: the weekend seventy four CIP coach points a try seventeen runs,

82
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy meters, five tackle bus, two line breaks.

83
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: He was on fire. Do you reckon he could get

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: that spot one hundred percent.

85
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: We saw him make his debut last year and he's

86
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: what you see is what you get. He's explosive, he

87
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: can finish long set plays, his kick returns are good

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: and I would actually probably put him in the box seat.

89
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: He played big minutes on in the last trial. I

90
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: think this weekend will really show where camp Serrado's head

91
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: is with that wing spot. But I mean, if you're

92
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: going to pick someone, I don't know why you wouldn't

93
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: pick Johno, considering he has played before and the other

94
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: options I think haven't really had much first gay experience

95
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: at all. All.

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Right, well, that would be huge for super Coach. We've

97
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: got a guy very very very low ownership who could

98
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: go from almost zero percent ownership up to thirty or

99
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: forty percent in the next couple of weeks. The other

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: guy who was really good in the trials as well

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: was a Ratu Arina Kama no idea if I've said

102
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: that correctly, but ninety eight points in all in that

103
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: trial two trials, five tackle bus, three line breaks. Both

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the wingers for the Dogs were great in that game.

105
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: What do you know about Ratu?

106
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: Honestly not much because, like for everyone, really, I think

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: our first glint Ratu was this week and it's one

108
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: of those things, right, The best part of trials is

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: you see these guys come out of nowhere. I remember

110
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago dream Bulu was very similar,

111
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, just kind of sprung out of nowhere, and

112
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: he's an outright first grader now, so yeah, again, I

113
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: think there's a probably a few mistakes in his game

114
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: from what I saw, and that's probably why I'd have

115
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 2: to edge a bit more towards Johno. But I think again,

116
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: if Serrato picks him, you know, to get a very explosive,

117
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: dynamic winger who you know, like we've seen from a

118
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: couple other Fijian boys, can be really damaging on the

119
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: field big time.

120
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: And so he's only come out from Fiji recently. I

121
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: believe we'll have to check that out. But you don't

122
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: think they go for experience on the wing. We'd go

123
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: like Connor Tracy on the wing and taff at full back.

124
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Blake Wilson, as I said, doesn't look like he'll be

125
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: right for round one. So that's the issue if you

126
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: go for one of these cheapies, if they play for

127
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: one or two rounds and then Wilson comes back in.

128
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it just depends, you know, like what what

129
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: does camera Serrato do? Do you move your you know

130
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: kind of Tracy was very good for them last year,

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: especially towards the back end at fullback. Do you want

132
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: to move him out of that position. But then, yeah,

133
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: like you said, for for us super coach players, it's

134
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: a very tough decision. Do you risk a trade to

135
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: make some money in the first couple of weeks or Yeah,

136
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: Like there's so much question marks around the Bulldog, so

137
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: that probably a team I want to avoid when I'm

138
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: picking my first couple of rounds.

139
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we've got the trial teams coming out this afternoon,

140
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: so we'll wait and see what Surrounded is thinking there.

141
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: In terms of the Trials, we've already mentioned a couple

142
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: of guys. As I said, it's the hot take episode,

143
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: so we're going to run. It's going to give a

144
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: hot take on a number of topics, including best player

145
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: from the Trials, the cheapies, top the top gun that's

146
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: not going to make it, mid ranges, et cetera, et cetera.

147
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: So we'll start with the trials. Who is the guy

148
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: who stood out for you?

149
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: Look for me.

150
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be that much of

151
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: a hot take because around the traps he seems to

152
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: be pretty popular. A lot of people are talking about him,

153
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: but because of his price, he's quite low owned still.

154
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: And that was Ali Leatawa. Yeah, and Ali named after

155
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: his uncle Ali Latiti, who was one of my favorite

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: Warriors second round at the time. I remember being called

157
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: the Michael Jordan of rugby league because he was so

158
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: athletic and he had these massive hands and just holding it.

159
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: Like a gra loved it.

160
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: But look, he on the weekend had two tries, five

161
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: tackle breaks and I reckon that's what you're going to

162
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: see from him. He's going to be a guy that's

163
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: really damaging with the ball. He's also got soft hands

164
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: for a big center, and he's going to score some

165
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: tries and he's going to get some TVs. And for

166
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: super Coach, that's gold. It's unfortunate that he's already priced

167
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: at fifty eight, but that's why it's hop takes right.

168
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: I've got my hot take shoes on red hot, and

169
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm ready for it because I think that Ali is

170
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: going to have a big year for the Warriors. Really

171
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: like him as a young player, and I think it's

172
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: going to be his coming out party. After that trial,

173
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: I thought he looked really really good.

174
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks sensational and he's always been backed as

175
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: one of these really talented blokes. It's hard to go

176
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: there with that when he's at five hundred and fifteen

177
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: k priced just a little bit too much for me.

178
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: But I do like the call the guy who stood out.

179
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's not even a hot take at all,

180
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: but Luke Metcalf, I think you have to get him

181
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: into your team. That's a cool take. Robert Toyer looks

182
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: like he's locked in for that set of spot the

183
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: roosters five tackle bus about.

184
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: It was about.

185
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: Sixty minutes and scored fifty points. So look if that's

186
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: and it was all in base and power and base.

187
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: So if he keeps continuing that, then you know he'll

188
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: be a must have, not just to start the season,

189
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: but you would hold him for a fair way as well.

190
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Luke Metcalf is your boy.

191
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Luke Metcalf. I don't expect much from the

192
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: Warriors this year, to be honest. They're probably sitting towards

193
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: the bottom of the ladder for me. But I kind

194
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: of don't mind that. As a super coach player, when

195
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: you have a player, a dominant player like Luke Metcalf

196
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: in a team that isn't too crash hot, he's going

197
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: to take a lot of that responsibility on and I think, yeah,

198
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: similar to We've said, We've seen Caylen Ponger have great

199
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: years when the Knights don't do very well. Lucky Galvin

200
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: last year had a very good super coach year when

201
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: the Tigers were doing very well. I feel that it's

202
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: a similar thing, and I mean i'd probably lean towards

203
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: a really expensive half and then with Luke Metcalfe in

204
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: the five eighth position, I think he's a must have,

205
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: and I also believe Robert Toya is a must have.

206
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very happy to even start Luke metcalf as

207
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: my number one five eight. He'll kick goals too, so

208
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: that he's got that kind of Sean Johnson style of

209
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: play about him. I'm not saying is as good as

210
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson, certainly not yet. Injuries at the issue and

211
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: he's been stunted by that for so long, but I

212
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: think this could be the year that he pops out

213
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: and the Warriors just love him as well.

214
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: I like him a lot better at seven.

215
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 3: Like I'll be honest with everyone, because some people are

216
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: listening to my All Stars podcast and I was not

217
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: lukewarm on metcalf but I thought that people were getting

218
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: a little bit carried away with how good he could be,

219
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: and putting a bit too much pressure on him, but

220
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: that was at six, a lot of pressure on his

221
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: running game at six, and seen before he scored well

222
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: when he's run and scored tries at seven. I like

223
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: that he's going to be able to play, make a

224
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: little bit more and have maybe some kicking responsibility.

225
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: I think you'll still score a lot of tries as

226
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: well with his pace, definitely. So we have some good

227
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: subscription models at the moment. Of course, there's super Coach Plus.

228
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure Mark you certainly have super Coach Plus, and

229
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: I know you do as well. You get paid, like

230
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: News Court pays for it, twenty nine for the year.

231
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: For super Coach Plus. You get projections average versus opponent

232
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: average at venue, all these amazing stats for only twenty

233
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: nine ninety five for the year. You can't be a

234
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: serious supercoach without it, let's face it. Plus on top

235
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: of that, this is what I would recommend you get

236
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: a code subscription fifty nine dollars for the year. You

237
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: get super Coach Plus. So all the stats I was

238
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: just talking about, plus all the articles like the Cheapy Bible,

239
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: early Mail, predicted teams, all that sort of stuff for

240
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: only fifty nine dollars a year. Let's call it a

241
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: dollar a week. It's an absolute bargain. I suggest you

242
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: sign up for that right now. But I am a

243
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: little bit biased when it comes to that as well.

244
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: On to cheap hot take, who's the left field guy

245
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that you think is set to fly twice?

246
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: I I don't think I've gone pretty left field because

247
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: people don't even know if he'll play. But I'm liking

248
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: Corey Packs from the Broncos at Hooker. I just think

249
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: from what we've heard and kind of the male going around,

250
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: Billy Walters doesn't seem to be in that hot seat

251
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: for the nine Jersey.

252
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: And of course it's funny what happens when your dad

253
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: leaves the club?

254
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and Corey does, and we sek when Corey

255
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: does play, he can play really well there. And I

256
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: mean especially for the first ten rounds. Well, Ezra MAM's

257
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: out and Ben Hunt is still going to be in

258
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: the halves, He's Summers. I feel that's just going to

259
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 2: make you money really, So for me, that's that's the

260
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: guy that, obviously, depending on team list, I'm aiming to

261
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: have in my team in Roald one probably my second

262
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: choice will definitely my second choice hook Cup, but well

263
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm hoping he'll make me a fair bit of cash.

264
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so really good in the trials on the weekend

265
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: with a couple of trials and got a great suit

266
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: co score. Who's your left field guy in the cheapy department?

267
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: In the cheap department.

268
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: Mine is going to be another Warrior, which you know,

269
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: I picked him to probably be bottom four and potential

270
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: teven Spoon if it all falls apart. So it feels

271
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: strange saying the first two players. I'm going to talk

272
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: about the Warriors, but Jacob Laban. I thought Laban looked

273
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: really strong on the weekend. I thought he looked good.

274
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: They've been believing in him for a number of years

275
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, you know, none of the

276
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: predicted teams a few weeks ago had him as a

277
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: starting edge and he's starting to solidify himself as maybetlt

278
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: round one starter on the edge. Don't have a lot

279
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: of info on him, but he is cheap and at

280
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: the end of the day, I think that he's PPM

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: comes out at sixty two if he plays eighty minutes,

282
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: and maybe Neiir Coure comes in and plays an edge,

283
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: roll off the bench and some middle and he's only

284
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: sixty minutes. But at sixty minutes he's still going to

285
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: score you high forties. And if he can do that,

286
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: he's going to make a ton of cash. So I

287
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 3: really like Laban. I thought he looked good on the weekend,

288
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: and he's under ten percent ownership pretty easily at the moment.

289
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 3: That'll obviously change a lot if TLT round one is

290
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 3: kind to Jacob Labe.

291
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Yep, I like that call, and yeah, certainly if he's

292
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: starting in on that edge, then you pretty much have

293
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: to lock him in. My guy is Tom Duffy, who

294
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: looks like he's really good chance to start in the

295
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: halves at the Cowboys. I spoke him up last week.

296
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I think it was when it was only at five

297
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: percent ownership. He's now at the fifteen percent ownership, so

298
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: people have cottoned on. I think that if he does play,

299
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: is a really good chance of kicking goals as well,

300
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: which is great for him. It's not good used for

301
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: Scott Drinkwater though, who's been backed, who is generally the

302
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: guy who's been back for that goal kicking spot and

303
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: cows thoughts on Tom Duffy.

304
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: I really like him, and I think that it's look.

305
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: I think that the coach would do really well for

306
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: the Cowboys if you'd start to give some of these

307
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 3: young guys a bit of a go. And I think

308
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: that we've seen a bit of changing with the Guard

309
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: because we've already moved on Valentine Holmes and there is

310
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: some young guys coming through for them, so I could

311
00:13:59,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: see it happen.

312
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: I really like him as a player.

313
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: If he gets that spot, though, it's going to really

314
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: create a super coat Chad Ache, right, because you've got

315
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: sand at Smith, You've got all these other options. You've

316
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: got people maybe you want to go Cleari and Hines

317
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: and Stuck the Halves. It does create a bit of

318
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: variance between teams and I love that as well.

319
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 4: So I hope he does get this.

320
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, yeah, well, I think sant and Smith

321
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll just lock in at Hooker. But then I do

322
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: really want to run with Clearie Heines because they've got

323
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: that great schedule to start of the year. But if

324
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Duffy gets named, I think I'll just have to go

325
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: for him.

326
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: And do you think his job security will be good?

327
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: You don't want to get to around two or three, right, Yeah,

328
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: they can't just drop him after two rounds. I wouldn't.

329
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't think they have the depth to make changes

330
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: that quickly there at the Cowboys.

331
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: If you give him a crack, like you have to

332
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: give him a proper crack. I think.

333
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: I guess it depends on how they see Jake Clifford,

334
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: how they see Clifford for this year.

335
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Okay, the top gun who the low ownership guy, who

336
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: you think is ready to fly? What do you think?

337
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm kind again really left field with this, but I

338
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: think after watching the Troll Shauna, Sullivan might be back

339
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: in the good books. He's only owned by two percent

340
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: of players. And I mean we saw in the Dolphins

341
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: first year him and Katoa have a really good combination

342
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: when they are going. Like last year it was a

343
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: bit up and down. But he's still relatively young, and

344
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: I think he saw a good footing in him. And

345
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, with a new coach there

346
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: and another offseason under his belt from Sullivan can be

347
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: someone who not many people have in their team, but

348
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: he can be a secret weapon for you carry on

349
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: the bench and make some money, but also get you

350
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: some really good points.

351
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: The guy who I think is really under owned in

352
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: the gun category is Dylan Brown. I love it when

353
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: players are playing for a contract, which he is now.

354
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: There's all that chat floating around. He's chasing one point

355
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: two million dollars that will bring the best out of him,

356
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: and his price is down because he had to play

357
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: it halfback for basically half of last year. So I

358
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: really like him. Who's your guy? My guys?

359
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: The others like not left field? But can I just

360
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: everybody know because I don't think anyone knows this. James

361
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: de Desco is currently four point five percent owned. It's

362
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: crazy and people are going to say, oh, you're AROUSA supporter.

363
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: Guys hours ninety four points a game last season, and

364
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: he was a number one super Coach player and he

365
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: actually had an injury game where he's goed four, So

366
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: he's true averages ninety eight, you know, and even if

367
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't replicate that, Like I always say, you want

368
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: to get value in the picks for round one, but

369
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: it gets to a line in the sand where they

370
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: score enough points where you'll pay for the points. So

371
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: if he's not ninety eight and eighty eight, I'll happily

372
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: pay for an eighty eight point average at the start

373
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: for a four point five percent ownership. He had thirty

374
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: points per game in his assists in last touches last year.

375
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: They're missing halves this year. I think Towns and tender

376
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: Smith will defer to him. There's an argument there's even

377
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: room for him to be even better for the start

378
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: of the year and around three and four he hits

379
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: the Titans and also.

380
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: The Warriors, which are good matchups.

381
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: So I'm all over him. I think he's got a

382
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: great floor and four point five four point five percent ownership,

383
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: it's got to be the lowest ever for Teddy round one.

384
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the big knock on Tedesco in actual NRL

385
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: is that he always tries to do too much, but

386
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: in super coach that's exactly what you want. And with

387
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: the half situation, as you said, and then like they're

388
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: missing their hooker as well, I think the Teddy is

389
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: just going to have to try and do everything, which

390
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: is exactly what we want.

391
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 3: And he could make mistakes, but we know we know,

392
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: like last year he had so many games where he's

393
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: double digit tackle breaks. All he needs is a usage,

394
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: So I think that he's going to get that this year.

395
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I like it a lot mid range hot take.

396
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Who are you thinking here, guys.

397
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: I've got Fletcher Sharp Yeah yeah, I mean he's probably

398
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: going to be in that number six jersey running number

399
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: six and your halves. You know, I know if five

400
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: eighth can can kind of range with scoring. But from

401
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: watching him trial, I think I think he's a must

402
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: have with any three percent ownership to play him in

403
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: that center wing spot. I mean that's someone that I've

404
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: put in my team first, probably one of my first guys.

405
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit of a left field choice there for

406
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: the five eight spot. That was good in the trial.

407
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: I like it.

408
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: You've done us a bit dirty.

409
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: You can't be five eight now either in two per

410
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: k because we've already got a duel center winkles.

411
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that's right. Yeah, no six, Well he did play.

412
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: He did play fullback fair bit last year. It makes

413
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: it makes total And when we were putting the positions

414
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: together in November, by the way, there was no chatter

415
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: whatsoever that he'd be playing in the Hearts. Who's your

416
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: mid ranger field?

417
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: Look, my midranger left field is going to be sewel

418
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: Wong And look Wong obviously started last year on an

419
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: edge for the Roosters, got dropped and didn't play a

420
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: lot of NRL. What a lot of people don't know,

421
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: And if you watch the Troll you probably have an idea.

422
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: He's gotten massive the last four months. He goes to

423
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: six to three plays one hundred and ten kilos and

424
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: he last eight games in his Cup was at PROP

425
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: and the Roosters lost Jarradorry hard Graves and they also

426
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: for the half the season last year.

427
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: Had Radley on an edge. Now, if Radley.

428
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 3: Continues on an edge, he could start at thirteen and

429
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: he's just over three hundred thousand, so it's enough of

430
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: a price where some might lay off him. But he

431
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 3: could easily be a sixty plus gun. And we're gone

432
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: for red hot takes. I'm going to go for Sew

433
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: Wong to have a massive year.

434
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: And a follow up question for this, Nafar Hu White

435
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: is really really popular. Do you think Wong is actually

436
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: the better buy out of those two or will you

437
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: be going with both.

438
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: I've got both at the moment, and I do think

439
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: that both could work out. But obviously t Ort you

440
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: just cull, which everyone doesn't right, Which everyone's on the bench.

441
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: But I think that where they both work out is

442
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: Naphul White could be a starting front rower and I

443
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: think that's going to be his role and Spencer's role

444
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: has always been a bench impact player. If that stays,

445
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: White projects as a Lindsay Collins partner starting front rower,

446
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 3: and then Wong is just starting thirteen with Radley on

447
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: the edge and Noma.

448
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 4: Watson because he's got to play nine.

449
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually the perfect super coach jigsaw puzzle if

450
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: it comes off at the roosters for us.

451
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: Yep. Well, let's say what happens, as I said, trial

452
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: teams coming through this afternoon and say we should get

453
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good guy. For me, I think the guy

454
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: who's under owned is Roger to advisis Sheck. I like

455
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: him on the wing for the Warriors. I think he'll

456
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: score a lot of tries there. Not only that, but

457
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: make many more runs which equals many more tackle busts

458
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: than he did at center last year where he played

459
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: most of the season. So for me, I like Roger

460
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: on the wing. Draft it's getting hugely popular. The numbers

461
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: for draft this year absolutely through the roof top draft pick. Look,

462
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: we're going to rule out I haven't told you because

463
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: we didn't really speak before the show. We've ruled out

464
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary. It's top draft pick behind Nathan.

465
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: A couple o.

466
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, just hit us. Hit us with a few.

467
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

468
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: I think without Cleary clearly would have been my number one.

469
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: But last said, Luke Metcalfe and Kaylen Ponger would be

470
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: up there in my top draft picks. I feel like

471
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: you need uh, you know, you can't only just have

472
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: cheapis in this game. That's not how it works. And

473
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: you try to build your team of cheap's, you're going

474
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: to lose a lot in the first couple of rounds.

475
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think either Luke metcalf or Kaylyn Ponger.

476
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: Metcalf more that mid range Ponger, that more expensive player,

477
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: but they just do so well. Ponger especially does so

478
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: much of that team, and similar to to Esco, kind

479
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: of when he gets the ball, things happen around him.

480
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't he doesn't need his team to do very well

481
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: for him to get great points. And I think that's

482
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: really important for me as as a super coach. I

483
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: want that kind of player who I know, no matter

484
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: how the Knight's he and Togo Ponger is going to perform.

485
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love your Ponger pick because I reckon

486
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: he's red hot goal being even potentially the best super

487
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: coach player in the game.

488
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: This year, he's like six.

489
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: Points under vague compared to the year before, looks fit

490
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: this year, probably his first pre season and a few

491
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: that he's actually had a good preseason.

492
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: So I love that pick.

493
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Who's your number one in draft beside Cleary? I mean

494
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: would clearly be your number one anyway with his injury history.

495
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing that sets him apart is that

496
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: he's just so far ahead in that position. Plus he

497
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: can match it with the best fullbacks as well. One

498
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: of the big factors in draft is whether you have

499
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: a captain in draft, and in that case, I think

500
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: fullback is really important because the best guys are at fullback.

501
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: If you don't have a captain in the draft league,

502
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: then you can target other positions.

503
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I think Cleary is just the

504
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: guy that everyone picks one because they're scared not to,

505
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: and like, if you're actually smart about it and you're

506
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: in a really active league, you can parlay Cleary into

507
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: like a drink water and a second round pick or

508
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 3: something because someone would be really so I would almost

509
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: always just do the safe pick and take Cleary. But

510
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 3: I think that if you actually look at the numbers,

511
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: you shouldn't be getting a fullback, right. We look at clearly

512
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: like he's a number one player and he hasn't been,

513
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 3: and he's been missing games for a number of years now.

514
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: Of course the glass are empty, and the positive narrative

515
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: on Cleary is no leu eye. Does he take the

516
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: next step and actually take the reins of the Panthers

517
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: even more and lead them with high usage and taking

518
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: control that could see him go through the roof. So

519
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: I would take him number one, But there's a good

520
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: argument that you go.

521
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm just worried about injuries as well. So I don't

522
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: want to give too much away, for I know that

523
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: most of the guys I'm playing draft against are watching

524
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: it right now. I don't want to give too much away.

525
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: But if I get number one pick, I probably won't

526
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: go Nathan Cleary. So who's your number one?

527
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: If I'm not going Cleary, I just talked about to Desco,

528
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: so I just have to go in, right. I mean, look, again,

529
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: he's a number play last year. He's got a decent

530
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 3: enough draw and he's also got a lot of usage

531
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: to come up at the roosters.

532
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 4: So all the reasons I said before, I'd go teddy, all.

533
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: Right, draft sleepers, this is where the draft is one

534
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: late on. You tip me into a guy, can't I

535
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: can't really claim this. You've tipped me into a guy

536
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: in Craig Marshu who's ADP. That's average draft position is

537
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: ninety six. So you can get him really late in

538
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: a ten person league. Let's say you can get him

539
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: right at the end. It was really good in the

540
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: trials on the weekend. Obviously, anything that's got Calum ponger

541
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: and it's going to score a lot of tries, particularly

542
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: to the winger. I've got a little bit of an

543
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: issue depends on which side of the field he plays on,

544
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: because it does affect his stats a little bit. But

545
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: any case, he's got the base to cover it as well.

546
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: He'll make twenty runs a game, which comes with four

547
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: or five tackle busts.

548
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's going to get mid forties without

549
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: a try, and that was a problem last year. Right,

550
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: He went from twenty one tries a year before to

551
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: seven last year. That can't happen again, you know, whether

552
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: you were talking classic or draft all over Greg Marjy

553
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: because he's got a mid forties base and now he's

554
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: going to probably double his tries. And I think he

555
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: was on the left in the trial on the way

556
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: he scored his try on the left.

557
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I know that, but I didn't watch the four games.

558
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Kaylyn Ponger's preferred side.

559
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: It's going to have a pretty potent attacking side with

560
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: Dylan Lucas and Fletcher Sharp on there as well.

561
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: I love that left hand side. And if Marju's on

562
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 4: that left.

563
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: Wing, if you can get him in round ten or

564
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: round nine, even like he's adp is, that's pretty good.

565
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: And then finally your NRL season hot take. So this

566
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: is just Rugby League only, not super coach tice.

567
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: Where do I start? I got too many for a couple,

568
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, after watching and this might be a

569
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: little bit biased thing, after watching Lucky Galvin play on

570
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: the weekend, I think he's with Jerome Law. I'm just

571
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: going to take even more of a seven. A lot

572
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: of people thought that he's probably going to lessen his

573
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: load a bit, but the guy can't escape flowing to

574
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: where that ball is and when he's got ball in hand,

575
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: he's just so dangerous. I really think Locky Galvin's going

576
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: to cement himself. Its one of the best five eights

577
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: in the game this year. I don't want to put

578
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: too much pressure on the kid, obviously, but I just

579
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: think that you played in a team with maybe one

580
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: or two other guys are going to play first grade

581
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: start of the year, and he too took that game

582
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: by the horns and really led the Tigers into only

583
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: losing by a try, really understrengthed Tigers team.

584
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was so good on the weekend. You haven't

585
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: what's your other hot take before?

586
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be hard you for

587
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: the Roosters, really hard you for the Roosters as a

588
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 2: team that I refuse to ever count out. But I

589
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 2: just think that they're missing so much experience now that

590
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: it's going to be so hard for them with all

591
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: these other teams improving, I don't see the Roosters improving

592
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: off where they were last year, which sadly means that

593
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: they're probably going to drop a little bit, and they

594
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: only have two or three positions to drop before they're

595
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: out of the eight.

596
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Yep correct Ruster's fan over here, What's what's your take

597
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: on out there that Joey Mney doesn't like Japan very much?

598
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so Sammy walk will come back and we'll just

599
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: make our tilt later. My hot take is, Look, I

600
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: just got to remind everyone this is a hot take episode, right,

601
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: so it's pretty spicy. The Penrith Panthers will not feature

602
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty five Grand Final. Not only will

603
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: they not win it, they will not be in it

604
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: and they will not be contending for it.

605
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: So where do you think that I finished the season?

606
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: Are they going to get top four?

607
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: Or I've still on top four?

608
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: This is a crazy ridiculous hot takes Alright, this is

609
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: this is just hot tas hot take. But they won't

610
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: be in the Grand Final. Remember, look, they've got no

611
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: ground this year. They've been absolutely cannibalized for four years straight. Now, eventually,

612
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: if you keep taking out talent and has to make

613
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: an impact. If Nathan Clear he went down last year,

614
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: they still could win games. I don't think he's going

615
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: to play a full season this year because he hasn't

616
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: for like five and soon as he goes down they're

617
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: not going to win those games anymore, and they don't

618
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: have the depth. So I'm not running off penet at all.

619
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 3: I think they're amazing, but look, you can't win ten

620
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,920

Speaker 3: you'll get Ali in the last round of your draft probably,

647
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080
