Let's go lv oh dear. 12 00:00:50,173 --> 00:00:53,453 Speaker 3: Just when our blood pressure had barely returned to normal 13 00:00:53,573 --> 00:00:57,493 Speaker 3: after that pulsating and let's be frank taxing victory over 14 00:00:57,533 --> 00:01:01,173 Speaker 3: the Bunnies in Sydney, Warriors fans are hit with perhaps 15 00:01:01,213 --> 00:01:06,173 Speaker 3: the worst possible news, Mitch Barnett out for the season 16 00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:12,173 Speaker 3: aclknee injury. Bunnette's been easily the club's best player over 17 00:01:12,213 --> 00:01:15,653 Speaker 3: the last three seasons. The sight of blood pouring from 18 00:01:15,653 --> 00:01:19,213 Speaker 3: his head, legs and arms taped up was fairly frequent, 19 00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:23,933 Speaker 3: but he always just seemed impenetrable the terminator. I didn't 20 00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:26,813 Speaker 3: think he could even get injured. We talked so much 21 00:01:26,893 --> 00:01:29,813 Speaker 3: about injuries and the spine, the halves hooker, but the 22 00:01:29,853 --> 00:01:34,533 Speaker 3: loss of Prop Barnett, the talismanic workhorse of a co captain, 23 00:01:34,813 --> 00:01:40,093 Speaker 3: is a bitter blow. Michael Burgess, Senior New Zealand Herald Ryder, 24 00:01:40,493 --> 00:01:45,573 Speaker 3: we're back together. Dry your eyes. That's okay. 25 00:01:46,293 --> 00:01:48,373 Speaker 5: We are back together, Nathan. It's great to be back here. 26 00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:52,213 Speaker 5: That's been too long, but you know it could have 27 00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:57,333 Speaker 5: been under better circumstances. Well overused, We all overuse the 28 00:01:57,333 --> 00:02:01,213 Speaker 5: word devastating, you know, but this is actually devastating, Like 29 00:02:01,293 --> 00:02:04,053 Speaker 5: it's devastating on so many levels. First of all, for 30 00:02:04,773 --> 00:02:09,253 Speaker 5: Mitch Bunnett, he has been playing amazing the last the 31 00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:11,293 Speaker 5: last year and a half, especially last year I thought 32 00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:14,133 Speaker 5: he really came into his own when he got the 33 00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:16,653 Speaker 5: standing captain and went to another level origin da day. 34 00:02:16,653 --> 00:02:21,213 Speaker 5: He's just at an absolute peak mentally, physically, everything, and 35 00:02:21,613 --> 00:02:23,173 Speaker 5: so for this to happen to him, he just be 36 00:02:24,293 --> 00:02:27,893 Speaker 5: You saw him and when it happened and he the 37 00:02:27,933 --> 00:02:31,053 Speaker 5: cameras went to his face and he did something oh shit, 38 00:02:31,573 --> 00:02:33,933 Speaker 5: you know, so I think he might have known that 39 00:02:33,933 --> 00:02:36,613 Speaker 5: it's quite serious if it happened to him and then 40 00:02:36,653 --> 00:02:38,813 Speaker 5: the second blow is to the team because the team 41 00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:43,053 Speaker 5: is traveling so well, and this is actually this makes 42 00:02:43,053 --> 00:02:44,853 Speaker 5: a massive difference. We'll get into it a bit later, 43 00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:50,173 Speaker 5: but this is one of the biggest injuries setbacks to 44 00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:52,653 Speaker 5: Worriors have had in about ten years. 45 00:02:53,253 --> 00:02:54,453 Speaker 4: That's a big call. 46 00:02:54,493 --> 00:02:56,973 Speaker 5: And I'll explain that later. I'll explain that later, and 47 00:02:58,213 --> 00:03:01,493 Speaker 5: I'll explain that later to you, and then you'll be like, oh, jeez, Booz, 48 00:03:01,573 --> 00:03:05,893 Speaker 5: that's actually a good point, but you just briefly say now, yeah, 49 00:03:06,013 --> 00:03:08,973 Speaker 5: to briefly say now, he's in. He's in what I 50 00:03:09,013 --> 00:03:14,213 Speaker 5: consider the Big four right him, Fisher, Harris, probably Luke 51 00:03:14,253 --> 00:03:17,373 Speaker 5: metcalf now and Wade Egan. I'm not sure what all 52 00:03:17,493 --> 00:03:20,533 Speaker 5: they be in, but but Barnett is probably one or 53 00:03:20,573 --> 00:03:22,533 Speaker 5: two in terms of so hard to replace. There are 54 00:03:22,533 --> 00:03:25,093 Speaker 5: other forwards there and they'll do a good job, but 55 00:03:25,173 --> 00:03:27,573 Speaker 5: he's in the Big four, and he's probably at the 56 00:03:27,573 --> 00:03:31,053 Speaker 5: top of that list so far out. It's just it's 57 00:03:31,053 --> 00:03:32,813 Speaker 5: a cool game sometimes. 58 00:03:32,373 --> 00:03:36,013 Speaker 3: It is, and especially it comes off the backdrop of 59 00:03:36,373 --> 00:03:39,813 Speaker 3: another win, albeit very very stressful, and we're going to 60 00:03:39,813 --> 00:03:42,653 Speaker 3: talk about that obviously. But the Mitch Barnett knee injury 61 00:03:42,653 --> 00:03:45,973 Speaker 3: massive blow Andrew Webster. He's his reaction after the game 62 00:03:46,013 --> 00:03:47,933 Speaker 3: before we knew it was an a c L injury. 63 00:03:47,973 --> 00:03:51,813 Speaker 3: He has faith and his team's depth to fill the voice. 64 00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:52,813 Speaker 5: We lost fish for four weeks. 65 00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:54,413 Speaker 6: Is one of the best friend roles in the world, 66 00:03:54,453 --> 00:03:56,773 Speaker 6: and we know how to do next manner with certainly 67 00:03:56,813 --> 00:03:59,013 Speaker 6: something that we preach and we talk about. Life goes 68 00:03:59,053 --> 00:04:01,573 Speaker 6: on all the time.

And you know, we've got a 175 00:09:21,133 --> 00:09:24,533 Speaker 8: tremendous bunch of players young and experience, and you know 176 00:09:24,573 --> 00:09:27,453 Speaker 8: they're all aiming up and we're making our travel fun 177 00:09:27,813 --> 00:09:29,973 Speaker 8: and you know, when we get there, we've got a 178 00:09:30,093 --> 00:09:33,773 Speaker 8: task to complete and we've got wonderful support in Australia 179 00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:37,013 Speaker 8: and that's you know, really helped our team perform. So 180 00:09:37,813 --> 00:09:39,973 Speaker 8: extremely happy we're right now. We've got a long way 181 00:09:40,013 --> 00:09:41,493 Speaker 8: to go from here, and just. 182 00:09:41,573 --> 00:09:43,493 Speaker 3: Last year, you must be really really pleased with the 183 00:09:43,493 --> 00:09:46,293 Speaker 3: amount of support you guys are getting in Australia. I 184 00:09:46,373 --> 00:09:48,933 Speaker 3: mean in Brisbane at sun Court Stadium, it sounded like 185 00:09:48,973 --> 00:09:51,973 Speaker 3: a home game and that looks to have continued in Sydney. 186 00:09:52,773 --> 00:09:52,973 Speaker 5: Yeah. 187 00:09:53,173 --> 00:09:56,413 Speaker 8: Look, our supports global and you know in Australia, it's 188 00:09:56,453 --> 00:09:59,933 Speaker 8: amazing when you walk down the streets, you know, to 189 00:10:00,013 --> 00:10:03,413 Speaker 8: see and hear everyone at the games, it's just mind blowing. 190 00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:06,173 Speaker 8: So it's just really proud of our club, our fans 191 00:10:06,253 --> 00:10:09,893 Speaker 8: and what they stand for. And you know, I'm just 192 00:10:10,213 --> 00:10:12,893 Speaker 8: so happy for our players that are responding to that. 193 00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,613 Speaker 4: This is the Big League Podcast. 194 00:10:18,293 --> 00:10:22,133 Speaker 2: This is going Yeah, the Big League Podcast on the 195 00:10:22,213 --> 00:10:23,373 Speaker 2: Warriors Bandwagons. 196 00:10:23,453 --> 00:10:26,613 Speaker 4: It's day one. Great to hear from Cameron George. 197 00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:30,493 Speaker 3: He's so accessible as a chief executive in New Zealand Sport. 198 00:10:30,613 --> 00:10:33,493 Speaker 3: Cameron George is fantastic because you can just call them 199 00:10:33,493 --> 00:10:35,453 Speaker 3: and have a yarn to em Burde. But obviously that 200 00:10:35,893 --> 00:10:40,213 Speaker 3: the news of of Mitch Barnett is a devastating blow. 201 00:10:40,253 --> 00:10:43,093 Speaker 3: Seem pretty calm, well, I guess for for for the club. 202 00:10:43,413 --> 00:10:45,893 Speaker 3: You know, they can't they can't do what we're gonna do. 203 00:10:45,933 --> 00:10:47,653 Speaker 3: We're gonna dwell on this for quite a while. You know, 204 00:10:47,733 --> 00:10:49,893 Speaker 3: we're going on a dress. We're dwelling on this today 205 00:10:49,933 --> 00:10:52,813 Speaker 3: will be dwelling well. But the club actually have to 206 00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:54,853 Speaker 3: move on. That's what Andrew Webs will say this week. 207 00:10:54,893 --> 00:10:56,813 Speaker 5: They've got to move on because they can't change it, 208 00:10:57,813 --> 00:11:00,533 Speaker 5: which is which is the reality. But man, it is 209 00:11:00,613 --> 00:11:03,373 Speaker 5: a it is a massive blow. I mean to take firstly, 210 00:11:03,453 --> 00:11:05,413 Speaker 5: to take up the point that Cameron George made an 211 00:11:05,453 --> 00:11:09,133 Speaker 5: interview about Origin. I think it's kind of the other 212 00:11:09,173 --> 00:11:12,253 Speaker 5: way around. The club. No issue with the club here 213 00:11:12,333 --> 00:11:15,293 Speaker 5: because players are expected to back up. Mitch wanted to play, 214 00:11:15,413 --> 00:11:18,053 Speaker 5: that's fine, But the issues with the NRL. You know, 215 00:11:18,973 --> 00:11:21,173 Speaker 5: there aren't any other competitions in the world I can 216 00:11:21,253 --> 00:11:24,693 Speaker 5: think of with collision sports where you play on a 217 00:11:24,733 --> 00:11:26,773 Speaker 5: Wednesday and then you have to play again on the Friday, 218 00:11:26,813 --> 00:11:31,413 Speaker 5: Sat there Sunday, Like, can you imagine the the All 219 00:11:31,493 --> 00:11:34,933 Speaker 5: Blacks having a game this Wednesday and then the Blues 220 00:11:34,973 --> 00:11:38,773 Speaker 5: playing there. It's Chiefs on Sunday. It would never happened, 221 00:11:39,013 --> 00:11:41,173 Speaker 5: never happened, right, But we've got so used to it 222 00:11:41,373 --> 00:11:42,733 Speaker 5: in the league, and it's all of it being the 223 00:11:42,813 --> 00:11:44,693 Speaker 5: tough man and backing up. And I've got no doubt 224 00:11:45,373 --> 00:11:48,453 Speaker 5: that it's related that you know, you're still your body 225 00:11:48,533 --> 00:11:49,813 Speaker 5: goes through a lot and then you're playing on the 226 00:11:49,813 --> 00:11:52,253 Speaker 5: Sunday and you feel good, but there's just little moments, 227 00:11:52,333 --> 00:11:55,613 Speaker 5: little way you move, and next thing he's done something 228 00:11:55,693 --> 00:11:59,533 Speaker 5: like this. So it's just it's just awful. And to 229 00:11:59,653 --> 00:12:02,693 Speaker 5: go back to my point about the worst in a decade, 230 00:12:02,813 --> 00:12:05,333 Speaker 5: which probably you're thinking, what are you thinking, that's a 231 00:12:05,373 --> 00:12:06,413 Speaker 5: big overreaction or. 232 00:12:07,253 --> 00:12:09,253 Speaker 4: It's a massive court. I mean had some big players. 233 00:12:09,253 --> 00:12:11,493 Speaker 3: We had Sean Johnson with an injury right before the 234 00:12:11,573 --> 00:12:14,813 Speaker 3: playoffs a couple of years ago. Yeah, so but to me, 235 00:12:15,253 --> 00:12:18,213 Speaker 3: it's all about the key to a season is getting 236 00:12:18,253 --> 00:12:20,453 Speaker 3: to the end of the season with your best team. 237 00:12:21,093 --> 00:12:24,213 Speaker 3: And so in twenty twenty three, you're right, Johnson injury 238 00:12:24,293 --> 00:12:25,933 Speaker 3: but he was back for the Newcastle game in the 239 00:12:25,973 --> 00:12:28,453 Speaker 3: Broncos game, So they basically had their best team. And 240 00:12:28,493 --> 00:12:31,453 Speaker 3: the other year was at twenty eighteen where they made 241 00:12:31,453 --> 00:12:33,533 Speaker 3: the playoffs and had their full team. 242 00:12:33,573 --> 00:12:35,853 Speaker 4: Basically all those other years during. 243 00:12:35,733 --> 00:12:40,733 Speaker 5: COVID twenty twenty one, twenty two nineteen, they never had 244 00:12:40,773 --> 00:12:42,613 Speaker 5: a team that was going to make the playoffs. It 245 00:12:42,653 --> 00:12:44,413 Speaker 5: was never just never going to happen. So that's the 246 00:12:44,493 --> 00:12:47,213 Speaker 5: why when I say worse than the decade, because I 247 00:12:47,293 --> 00:12:50,373 Speaker 5: go back to what I remember is twenty sixteen and 248 00:12:50,453 --> 00:12:53,293 Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. In twenty sixteen, they had a team that 249 00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:56,253 Speaker 5: had a good team and Roger was the big new 250 00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:59,613 Speaker 5: signing and he got injured season ending, the injury in 251 00:12:59,813 --> 00:13:02,533 Speaker 5: I think round five some of that round five, round six, 252 00:13:03,453 --> 00:13:05,333 Speaker 5: and he was out for the season. Massive blow. And 253 00:13:05,413 --> 00:13:06,733 Speaker 5: there was a team that had a lot of potential. 254 00:13:06,893 --> 00:13:11,253 Speaker 5: And the other one twenty fifteen. When you were you 255 00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:12,973 Speaker 5: were school somewhere. 256 00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:14,693 Speaker 4: I was fourteen. I would have been in year ten. Yeah, 257 00:13:14,693 --> 00:13:14,933 Speaker 4: there you go. 258 00:13:16,853 --> 00:13:20,173 Speaker 5: Warriors were flying. They just beat the Storm at home. 259 00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,933 Speaker 5: They're in the top four. Everyone's talking about, Wow, this 260 00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:25,973 Speaker 5: team's amazing. They had a lot of good players, a 261 00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:29,373 Speaker 5: lot of good attack and Sean Johnson does his ankle, 262 00:13:29,453 --> 00:13:32,253 Speaker 5: breaks his ankle against Manly I think a week or 263 00:13:32,293 --> 00:13:34,253 Speaker 5: two after they beat the Storm, and they never never 264 00:13:34,293 --> 00:13:36,293 Speaker 5: were the same again, barely won a game. I think 265 00:13:36,373 --> 00:13:38,773 Speaker 5: that season it didn't even make the eight. So to me, 266 00:13:38,893 --> 00:13:40,453 Speaker 5: it's on that scale, if you know what I mean. 267 00:13:40,533 --> 00:13:44,493 Speaker 5: It's a seasoning ending injury to a player that makes 268 00:13:44,533 --> 00:13:46,933 Speaker 5: a massive difference, you know. And the question is now, 269 00:13:47,093 --> 00:13:50,813 Speaker 5: which we'll see over the next twelve weeks, is can 270 00:13:50,893 --> 00:13:54,373 Speaker 5: they win the big games without one of their best 271 00:13:54,933 --> 00:13:56,773 Speaker 5: big game players. That's the test. 272 00:13:57,853 --> 00:14:00,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I suppose speaking of big name players, let's 273 00:14:00,533 --> 00:14:02,853 Speaker 3: go through this game against the Bunnies, because it was 274 00:14:03,373 --> 00:14:07,813 Speaker 3: a good win, albeit extremely extremely stressful chance. Nickelcrook start 275 00:14:07,853 --> 00:14:12,213 Speaker 3: one try, three hundred and forty two run meters. He 276 00:14:12,333 --> 00:14:14,813 Speaker 3: was in everything, he had the ball in his hands 277 00:14:15,253 --> 00:14:18,093 Speaker 3: all the time. Roger to I Vasischik as well impressive 278 00:14:18,173 --> 00:14:21,693 Speaker 3: with two tries. Both just had outstanding work rates for money. 279 00:14:21,733 --> 00:14:24,373 Speaker 5: Obviously, Yeah, I mean I liked. What I did like 280 00:14:24,453 --> 00:14:26,773 Speaker 5: about Roger was it felt like he was getting more involved. 281 00:14:26,773 --> 00:14:28,333 Speaker 5: He was able to come off his winger bit more. 282 00:14:28,413 --> 00:14:31,333 Speaker 5: And because he can create, he can create real havoc 283 00:14:31,373 --> 00:14:33,813 Speaker 5: and so I think that's a key for this team 284 00:14:34,093 --> 00:14:36,133 Speaker 5: in the next few weeks is trying to work out 285 00:14:36,133 --> 00:14:38,453 Speaker 5: a way to get Roger more involved, not just kick 286 00:14:38,493 --> 00:14:42,133 Speaker 5: returns and everything else, because when he does. I think 287 00:14:42,133 --> 00:14:43,813 Speaker 5: he had a couple of line breaks and I just 288 00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:46,973 Speaker 5: loved the X fact thing of Roger as he does 289 00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:49,733 Speaker 5: things that you don't expect, and the way he out 290 00:14:49,813 --> 00:14:52,813 Speaker 5: jumped Mitchell leading up to their third try, gets the 291 00:14:52,853 --> 00:14:54,733 Speaker 5: ball back and then just rolls it back on the ground, 292 00:14:55,213 --> 00:14:56,973 Speaker 5: ends up with Jackson Ford and he does the chip 293 00:14:57,053 --> 00:14:59,973 Speaker 5: through for Rock and Berry. But that play doesn't happen 294 00:15:00,013 --> 00:15:02,653 Speaker 5: without Rogers, you know, not just not just jumping for 295 00:15:02,733 --> 00:15:05,733 Speaker 5: the ball, but having the awareness on the fifth tackle 296 00:15:05,813 --> 00:15:07,493 Speaker 5: to roll it back, so that so play on a 297 00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:11,933 Speaker 5: non chance. It's just interesting, isn't it, Mate? Because a 298 00:15:12,013 --> 00:15:14,333 Speaker 5: few weeks ago, a month ago or so, there was 299 00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:15,533 Speaker 5: questions would he go to England? 300 00:15:15,533 --> 00:15:15,933 Speaker 4: Would he not? 301 00:15:17,133 --> 00:15:18,773 Speaker 5: And there was a bit of a sentiment out there 302 00:15:18,813 --> 00:15:21,933 Speaker 5: among the fan base are that's okay, well we'll be 303 00:15:22,133 --> 00:15:23,613 Speaker 5: We'll be okay without him if he wants to go 304 00:15:23,653 --> 00:15:25,293 Speaker 5: to England. Da da da da da take up it 305 00:15:25,373 --> 00:15:27,693 Speaker 5: off with a Super League. But I think he underlined 306 00:15:27,733 --> 00:15:31,213 Speaker 5: his value that he is just such a he's just 307 00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:35,573 Speaker 5: such an important cog for the Warriors and Luke Metcalf. 308 00:15:35,933 --> 00:15:37,933 Speaker 3: You know, we've talked a lot about the fifth tackle players. 309 00:15:37,933 --> 00:15:39,893 Speaker 3: I know, even what last week you and Neck were 310 00:15:39,933 --> 00:15:43,813 Speaker 3: talking about. It's still looking a little bit unimaginative. But 311 00:15:44,053 --> 00:15:46,333 Speaker 3: in terms of his kicking in game, I think it's 312 00:15:46,373 --> 00:15:49,693 Speaker 3: come such a long way so far this year squire scoring. 313 00:15:49,973 --> 00:15:52,093 Speaker 3: I think at least two tries off bombs he was 314 00:15:52,133 --> 00:15:56,253 Speaker 3: able to put in the corner his kicking I suppose 315 00:15:56,373 --> 00:15:58,493 Speaker 3: in the twenty able to position those kicks to land 316 00:15:58,773 --> 00:16:01,133 Speaker 3: just outside the tryline and put real pressure on the 317 00:16:01,173 --> 00:16:02,333 Speaker 3: rabbit O's defense. 318 00:16:02,853 --> 00:16:04,493 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he forced a couple of those late, 319 00:16:05,853 --> 00:16:08,933 Speaker 5: trapping them in goal for the life and dropouts that 320 00:16:09,013 --> 00:16:12,373 Speaker 5: actually led to two of us chicks try right at 321 00:16:12,373 --> 00:16:15,533 Speaker 5: the end the seventh try. He did some good things. 322 00:16:15,653 --> 00:16:18,013 Speaker 5: I mean, we have to also bring up the intercept, 323 00:16:18,093 --> 00:16:21,133 Speaker 5: which at the time felt at the time felt massive 324 00:16:21,173 --> 00:16:24,973 Speaker 5: and thankfully they had that great spell in the early 325 00:16:25,013 --> 00:16:26,853 Speaker 5: in the second half of three tries and about eight 326 00:16:26,893 --> 00:16:29,333 Speaker 5: minutes or something from memory, but at the time itself 327 00:16:29,533 --> 00:16:31,733 Speaker 5: felt like when those twelve point plays because it was 328 00:16:31,773 --> 00:16:35,573 Speaker 5: a it was a risky pass and and kind of telegraphed, 329 00:16:35,613 --> 00:16:37,853 Speaker 5: and those are things that he's got to work on. 330 00:16:38,573 --> 00:16:41,173 Speaker 5: But I like the fact that he strikes you as 331 00:16:41,213 --> 00:16:44,333 Speaker 5: the kind of guy that doesn't let that bother him 332 00:16:44,373 --> 00:16:47,213 Speaker 5: too much. Like he's quite confident, so he he rebounds 333 00:16:47,253 --> 00:16:49,693 Speaker 5: quite quickly, because that's a big thing in a game. 334 00:16:49,773 --> 00:16:52,813 Speaker 5: The same with he missed a couple of kexx earlier 335 00:16:52,813 --> 00:16:53,813 Speaker 5: in that. 336 00:16:53,893 --> 00:16:55,653 Speaker 4: Conversion just to the right of the postal. 337 00:16:55,853 --> 00:16:57,133 Speaker 3: Just to the left of the postal reminded me of 338 00:16:57,213 --> 00:17:00,093 Speaker 3: that she now has Tavita one from last year and 339 00:17:00,213 --> 00:17:01,573 Speaker 3: he just put it wide. 340 00:17:02,093 --> 00:17:04,213 Speaker 4: Everyone's saying, oh my goodness. Meet. But then later in 341 00:17:04,253 --> 00:17:05,693 Speaker 4: the game he was nailing them from the sideline. 342 00:17:05,693 --> 00:17:07,733 Speaker 5: He's nailing them and he sort of keeps and he 343 00:17:07,933 --> 00:17:11,053 Speaker 5: of course had this spectacular eighty five minute try from 344 00:17:11,133 --> 00:17:13,293 Speaker 5: dummy half when he goes in and show and goes 345 00:17:13,373 --> 00:17:14,893 Speaker 5: so is the real talent. 346 00:17:15,373 --> 00:17:17,813 Speaker 4: Let's talk about the flow of the game. 347 00:17:18,093 --> 00:17:21,333 Speaker 3: I suppose at the moment, because in six games in 348 00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,133 Speaker 3: a row now the Warriors have scored the first try. 349 00:17:24,213 --> 00:17:27,133 Speaker 3: You're right, you're dying there, burd It's six games in 350 00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,773 Speaker 3: a row the Warriors have scored the first try. They 351 00:17:29,853 --> 00:17:32,893 Speaker 3: start games so well and then in the second half 352 00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:35,893 Speaker 3: they keep doing this to us. They hate winning comfortably. 353 00:17:35,973 --> 00:17:41,333 Speaker 3: Ah yeah, I mean yeah, they just hate it. Well, no, 354 00:17:41,813 --> 00:17:42,453 Speaker 3: they love it. 355 00:17:42,533 --> 00:17:44,733 Speaker 5: Actually they'd loved to be able to do it, like 356 00:17:45,093 --> 00:17:48,093 Speaker 5: they all said how they loved it against Newcastle. There's 357 00:17:48,093 --> 00:17:51,613 Speaker 5: probably two things here in number one, these second half fades. 358 00:17:52,293 --> 00:17:54,613 Speaker 5: It fades a bit strong, but these second half issues. 359 00:17:55,373 --> 00:17:57,093 Speaker 5: A lot of clubs are killed to have these issues 360 00:17:57,093 --> 00:17:59,213 Speaker 5: because they're having these issues. But they build a lead 361 00:17:59,293 --> 00:18:01,293 Speaker 5: and then they hang on. You know, other clubs are 362 00:18:01,293 --> 00:18:03,693 Speaker 5: having fades in the first half or whatever. So that's 363 00:18:03,773 --> 00:18:06,533 Speaker 5: one thing. Momentum does kind of swing in then RL. 364 00:18:06,573 --> 00:18:09,653 Speaker 5: It's the way they've designed it. They seem to love. 365 00:18:10,893 --> 00:18:13,013 Speaker 5: I don't know the rules in that where its swings 366 00:18:13,053 --> 00:18:16,613 Speaker 5: and it's hard to get it back. But if there 367 00:18:16,773 --> 00:18:19,053 Speaker 5: was a bit of a concern, because you're exactly right, 368 00:18:19,213 --> 00:18:22,013 Speaker 5: like thirty twelve up with about what was it, twenty 369 00:18:22,053 --> 00:18:24,493 Speaker 5: minutes to go, you should be able to see that 370 00:18:24,613 --> 00:18:28,933 Speaker 5: game out, and you know, they just maybe I think 371 00:18:28,933 --> 00:18:31,453 Speaker 5: there are a couple of lapses in concentration and suddenly 372 00:18:31,493 --> 00:18:33,253 Speaker 5: the rabbit o's are back into it and it got 373 00:18:33,373 --> 00:18:36,533 Speaker 5: way more tense than it should have. 374 00:18:36,693 --> 00:18:39,373 Speaker 3: Well, Latrell Mitchell, who in my opinion, was the best 375 00:18:39,413 --> 00:18:42,173 Speaker 3: player on the field that day, he just grabbed the 376 00:18:42,253 --> 00:18:45,173 Speaker 3: game by the kahunas and combined twice on the left 377 00:18:45,213 --> 00:18:47,813 Speaker 3: wing with Alex Johnston, who obviously scored a hat trick, 378 00:18:47,853 --> 00:18:50,733 Speaker 3: but I think was the beneficiary of Latrell Mitchell just 379 00:18:51,133 --> 00:18:52,933 Speaker 3: absolutely taking the game by the horns. 380 00:18:53,533 --> 00:18:55,253 Speaker 5: And that's the thing Goyle at Mitchell, that's what he 381 00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:58,493 Speaker 5: can do. So we have to give, you know, a 382 00:18:59,293 --> 00:19:01,413 Speaker 5: lot of credit to Sous for the way they came back. 383 00:19:02,533 --> 00:19:05,413 Speaker 5: But the good sign is the Warriors took the lead. 384 00:19:05,693 --> 00:19:08,293 Speaker 5: When they take the lead in about the thirty fifth 385 00:19:08,453 --> 00:19:10,653 Speaker 5: minute or something, it's just before half time, before halftime, 386 00:19:11,133 --> 00:19:14,973 Speaker 5: and they you know, never surrendered that lead obviously, and 387 00:19:16,093 --> 00:19:19,173 Speaker 5: the clock was always against the Rabbits even though it 388 00:19:19,413 --> 00:19:22,493 Speaker 5: was getting dicey. So they're still on the learning curve. 389 00:19:22,573 --> 00:19:25,973 Speaker 5: So it's very encouraging. But yeah, I mean, Andrew Webster 390 00:19:26,053 --> 00:19:28,853 Speaker 5: particularly must be getting sick of because it's happened against 391 00:19:28,933 --> 00:19:31,013 Speaker 5: the Cowboys, that happened a little bit to a degree 392 00:19:31,053 --> 00:19:35,493 Speaker 5: against the against the Dolphins. But overall, as we've seen 393 00:19:35,573 --> 00:19:38,813 Speaker 5: quite a few times, Naith. It's massive for their for 394 00:19:38,933 --> 00:19:41,293 Speaker 5: their belief, their confidence and their resilience that they keep 395 00:19:41,373 --> 00:19:43,133 Speaker 5: finding a way to do this. 396 00:19:43,693 --> 00:19:45,893 Speaker 3: Well, it's a good problem to have, isn't it. We've 397 00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:48,333 Speaker 3: still see as it was, like you said, a game 398 00:19:48,373 --> 00:19:49,333 Speaker 3: full of momentum swings. 399 00:19:49,413 --> 00:19:51,413 Speaker 5: I just thought we always found a way to wrestle 400 00:19:51,453 --> 00:19:51,733 Speaker 5: it back. 401 00:19:51,813 --> 00:19:54,013 Speaker 6: We didn't at the momentum carry for too long, but 402 00:19:54,333 --> 00:19:57,013 Speaker 6: we allowed that that momentum of ours to stop too often. 403 00:19:57,093 --> 00:19:57,893 Speaker 4: Eighten points up. 404 00:19:58,213 --> 00:20:00,013 Speaker 5: I think we prefer to manage that better. 405 00:20:00,373 --> 00:20:02,373 Speaker 3: Just one potential issue that I sort of picked up 406 00:20:02,453 --> 00:20:06,173 Speaker 3: on during the game, Latrell Mitchell and co. They were 407 00:20:06,213 --> 00:20:08,613 Speaker 3: putting up some massive bombs and there were a few 408 00:20:08,653 --> 00:20:12,853 Speaker 3: occasions where the Warriors back through allowed those bombs to bounce. 409 00:20:13,253 --> 00:20:16,813 Speaker 3: And I'm not sure It's mid afternoon in Sydney, so 410 00:20:16,933 --> 00:20:19,173 Speaker 3: potentially there was an issue there with the sun. But 411 00:20:19,293 --> 00:20:21,573 Speaker 3: one of those did lead to a rabbit O's try. 412 00:20:22,053 --> 00:20:24,173 Speaker 3: And you know, obviously we talked about the great game 413 00:20:24,253 --> 00:20:26,773 Speaker 3: that Chance had, but for me, that looked like it 414 00:20:26,933 --> 00:20:29,053 Speaker 3: was a bit of a vulnerability for the Warriors. Did 415 00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:29,893 Speaker 3: you notice the same thing. 416 00:20:30,853 --> 00:20:32,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not the first. I mean they have been 417 00:20:32,613 --> 00:20:35,533 Speaker 5: doing it here and there over the last six or 418 00:20:35,573 --> 00:20:38,213 Speaker 5: seven games. I mean, it's a tricky one because there 419 00:20:38,293 --> 00:20:40,653 Speaker 5: is that school of thoughts sometimes it's actually wise to 420 00:20:40,733 --> 00:20:43,973 Speaker 5: let it bounce because if it is just crazily spiraling 421 00:20:44,053 --> 00:20:46,093 Speaker 5: and you try and catch it and drop it, that 422 00:20:46,373 --> 00:20:49,973 Speaker 5: was obviously is not a good outcome either. So it's risky. 423 00:20:50,133 --> 00:20:52,493 Speaker 5: I can see both sides of it. It's something you've 424 00:20:52,493 --> 00:20:55,413 Speaker 5: got to be careful with. But can I think one 425 00:20:55,493 --> 00:20:58,933 Speaker 5: thing we do We do need to mention two things actually, Nathan. 426 00:20:58,933 --> 00:21:02,693 Speaker 5: Actually one is the bench impact, which I thought again 427 00:21:02,893 --> 00:21:06,093 Speaker 5: was just outstanding. They're just getting so much value at 428 00:21:06,133 --> 00:21:10,693 Speaker 5: their bench and we saw was saw I thought the 429 00:21:10,933 --> 00:21:13,853 Speaker 5: way that Leka Hallie Seema what he can do from 430 00:21:13,893 --> 00:21:16,493 Speaker 5: the bench, Like he's been really good starting, but the 431 00:21:16,653 --> 00:21:19,453 Speaker 5: added explosion this he comes from the bench when he 432 00:21:19,493 --> 00:21:22,133 Speaker 5: hasn't used all his juice tackling for twenty minutes. I mean, 433 00:21:22,173 --> 00:21:26,453 Speaker 5: he had another brilliant game and dimitric Varmager far out. 434 00:21:26,573 --> 00:21:28,053 Speaker 5: I mean it felt like he was popping it with 435 00:21:28,053 --> 00:21:30,493 Speaker 5: offloads all the time. A couple of those offloads either 436 00:21:30,533 --> 00:21:32,933 Speaker 5: led to tries or they led to a tribe being scored. 437 00:21:32,973 --> 00:21:36,293 Speaker 5: In the following couple of plays. So between those two guys, 438 00:21:36,573 --> 00:21:39,373 Speaker 5: I just think that bench is brilliant, and then the 439 00:21:39,453 --> 00:21:42,853 Speaker 5: other thing is Dollan. It'd be very interesting to me 440 00:21:42,973 --> 00:21:45,133 Speaker 5: what happens with Dollan over the next few weeks, because 441 00:21:46,173 --> 00:21:49,533 Speaker 5: he still looks down on confidence. Since he's returned from injury, 442 00:21:49,933 --> 00:21:53,893 Speaker 5: he's been such a great playoff Andrew Webster, but it 443 00:21:54,253 --> 00:21:57,453 Speaker 5: feels like teams know they can attack his edge and 444 00:21:57,493 --> 00:22:00,013 Speaker 5: it's not all on him because the wingers got the 445 00:22:00,093 --> 00:22:03,493 Speaker 5: harder job on the end of that line. But he 446 00:22:03,693 --> 00:22:06,133 Speaker 5: is making some misreads. Has been a few misreads the 447 00:22:06,213 --> 00:22:09,533 Speaker 5: last few weeks, so I'm not sure what you do there, 448 00:22:11,453 --> 00:22:11,693 Speaker 5: all right. 449 00:22:11,733 --> 00:22:15,813 Speaker 3: The Warriors visit the Sharks in Cronella on Saturday nights. 450 00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:19,253 Speaker 3: Sharks been one of the form teams in the NRAL. 451 00:22:19,333 --> 00:22:21,973 Speaker 3: Remember they pushed the Panthers right to the finish that 452 00:22:22,213 --> 00:22:24,133 Speaker 3: and Vegas right at the start of the year, and 453 00:22:24,213 --> 00:22:27,933 Speaker 3: they sit fifth on the ladder with seven wins five losses. 454 00:22:27,973 --> 00:22:31,053 Speaker 3: They're coming off the bye. Most recently, and this is 455 00:22:31,133 --> 00:22:33,733 Speaker 3: the weird thing about the NRL. Most recently, they copped 456 00:22:33,733 --> 00:22:35,573 Speaker 3: to forty two to sixteen, hiding at the hands of 457 00:22:35,613 --> 00:22:37,573 Speaker 3: the Roosters. Don't know how much we read into that. 458 00:22:38,413 --> 00:22:42,093 Speaker 3: They've got former Warrior Adam vanua Blake with them, remember 459 00:22:42,133 --> 00:22:45,013 Speaker 3: all that drama from last year, plus obviously Nicko Hines, 460 00:22:45,013 --> 00:22:48,693 Speaker 3: Braden Trindle and the Harves. They are missing Ronaldo Mullitalo, 461 00:22:48,813 --> 00:22:50,853 Speaker 3: the winger who loves to play against the Warriors, loves 462 00:22:50,853 --> 00:22:53,373 Speaker 3: to get stuck in. He is suspended so he will 463 00:22:53,453 --> 00:22:55,293 Speaker 3: not be there. But what have you made of the 464 00:22:55,333 --> 00:22:58,013 Speaker 3: Sharks this year? What potential threats are they going to post? Oh, 465 00:22:58,053 --> 00:22:59,133 Speaker 3: they're just a really good team. 466 00:22:59,173 --> 00:23:02,093 Speaker 5: I mean they've been the top four team the last 467 00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:04,373 Speaker 5: couple of seasons without being able to make the next step, 468 00:23:04,453 --> 00:23:06,373 Speaker 5: So that was the big challenge this year. Who must 469 00:23:06,413 --> 00:23:08,933 Speaker 5: talks about can they make the next step to a 470 00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:11,013 Speaker 5: grand file, et cetera. But they've got they've got all 471 00:23:11,053 --> 00:23:14,853 Speaker 5: the ingredients, the coaches getting more and more experienced, really 472 00:23:14,933 --> 00:23:18,053 Speaker 5: tough Ford pack, Van Blake's improve them. They're not a 473 00:23:18,093 --> 00:23:22,933 Speaker 5: spectacular team to watch, but so good defensively and so 474 00:23:23,133 --> 00:23:26,093 Speaker 5: hard to stop close to the line, so that'll be tough. 475 00:23:26,133 --> 00:23:28,293 Speaker 5: I don't know why they're I thought they'd be a 476 00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:29,653 Speaker 5: bit higher on the ladder, but they have as you 477 00:23:29,853 --> 00:23:32,093 Speaker 5: as you say, they had five losses and a couple 478 00:23:32,133 --> 00:23:34,853 Speaker 5: of probably upsets, but yeah, they're they're a really good 479 00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:38,893 Speaker 5: team and particularly you imagine added Van Blake will be 480 00:23:38,973 --> 00:23:40,933 Speaker 5: wanting to have the match of his season so far, 481 00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:41,333 Speaker 5: won't he. 482 00:23:41,813 --> 00:23:43,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, And well, I mean if you think about the Warriors, 483 00:23:44,333 --> 00:23:45,973 Speaker 3: they're not going to have Mitch Barnett as well, so 484 00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:49,493 Speaker 3: potentially in the middle they're a little bit less potent 485 00:23:49,573 --> 00:23:51,893 Speaker 3: than normal. But I imagine if we look at the 486 00:23:51,933 --> 00:23:55,413 Speaker 3: Warriors team to play this week with Mitch Barnett obviously 487 00:23:55,493 --> 00:23:58,773 Speaker 3: not there, Jackson Ford go and to start at prop, 488 00:23:58,893 --> 00:24:01,693 Speaker 3: who do you reshuffle the int just Jacob Laban just 489 00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:02,613 Speaker 3: come into the interchange? 490 00:24:02,653 --> 00:24:03,213 Speaker 4: How do you work that? 491 00:24:03,733 --> 00:24:05,533 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say labor will come in, But I don't 492 00:24:05,533 --> 00:24:08,053 Speaker 5: know if Jackson will start. I mean, he's doing really 493 00:24:08,093 --> 00:24:10,573 Speaker 5: well season and some of the numbers he's putting up 494 00:24:10,613 --> 00:24:13,493 Speaker 5: and just as another classic work, great guy. I know 495 00:24:13,573 --> 00:24:16,453 Speaker 5: Webster loves him, but I don't know if you'll start 496 00:24:16,653 --> 00:24:20,213 Speaker 5: or they might be tempted to start with n Corde 497 00:24:20,613 --> 00:24:22,893 Speaker 5: at PROP just because he's a bigger body. I know 498 00:24:22,973 --> 00:24:24,933 Speaker 5: at the start of the season, Webster's plan was for 499 00:24:25,053 --> 00:24:28,053 Speaker 5: the Cord to play most of the season at prop 500 00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:30,253 Speaker 5: that's sort of what they were thinking him as a 501 00:24:30,293 --> 00:24:32,893 Speaker 5: middle But he's done really well back in the second row. 502 00:24:32,933 --> 00:24:35,253 Speaker 5: I think he's doing some of his best stuff since 503 00:24:35,293 --> 00:24:37,373 Speaker 5: twenty three. Maybe you know, do you just I love 504 00:24:37,453 --> 00:24:39,613 Speaker 5: him on the edge, so let's see what happens there. 505 00:24:39,653 --> 00:24:42,093 Speaker 5: But there might be a sort of Fisher. Harris n 506 00:24:42,213 --> 00:24:45,413 Speaker 5: Corde could be another option. But it's you're right, it's 507 00:24:45,413 --> 00:24:47,253 Speaker 5: a challenge. Shark's got some big boppers. 508 00:24:47,933 --> 00:24:48,133 Speaker 8: Yeah. 509 00:24:48,373 --> 00:24:51,853 Speaker 3: The other thing was Rockerberry, who picked up a hamstring injury, 510 00:24:52,093 --> 00:24:54,893 Speaker 3: I believe in the game against the Bunnies. We don't 511 00:24:55,013 --> 00:24:58,333 Speaker 3: know the severity of that, but imagine if he is 512 00:24:58,413 --> 00:24:59,813 Speaker 3: how Ali lad Tawa comes. 513 00:24:59,653 --> 00:25:01,333 Speaker 4: Back and do you know what's with Berry? 514 00:25:01,853 --> 00:25:04,253 Speaker 5: No, we don't yet, expecting to find out pretty soon. 515 00:25:04,453 --> 00:25:04,853 Speaker 4: I mean. 516 00:25:06,453 --> 00:25:08,373 Speaker 5: He was inter after the game by Sky Sport. He 517 00:25:08,453 --> 00:25:11,053 Speaker 5: was absolutely despondent. He mentioned in that interview. 518 00:25:11,093 --> 00:25:11,653 Speaker 4: Look, you never know. 519 00:25:11,813 --> 00:25:15,213 Speaker 5: I could be right for the weekend, but it seems 520 00:25:15,293 --> 00:25:17,493 Speaker 5: unlikely because of the fact he's already had a couple 521 00:25:17,493 --> 00:25:20,413 Speaker 5: of hamstrings. You know, hamstrings are pretty negli things. 522 00:25:20,493 --> 00:25:21,213 Speaker 4: Once it's done. 523 00:25:21,253 --> 00:25:23,413 Speaker 5: Once I just feel so sorry for the guy because 524 00:25:23,853 --> 00:25:26,373 Speaker 5: I think he's only played where are we we're coming 525 00:25:26,493 --> 00:25:29,013 Speaker 5: up to the thirteenth game of the season. I think 526 00:25:29,013 --> 00:25:32,333 Speaker 5: he's only played four or five games this season, you know, 527 00:25:32,533 --> 00:25:37,013 Speaker 5: and what I saw from him on Sunday reminded me 528 00:25:37,133 --> 00:25:41,173 Speaker 5: why he probably is a first choice center and then 529 00:25:41,213 --> 00:25:44,053 Speaker 5: the other center spot would be between Adam Pompey and 530 00:25:44,493 --> 00:25:48,173 Speaker 5: Alilatawa because it's just as defensive workers Kickchase. All those 531 00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:50,853 Speaker 5: one percent is He's a very smart player. He just 532 00:25:50,893 --> 00:25:55,013 Speaker 5: wanted to get a a run of games. But I 533 00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:58,133 Speaker 5: can't see him being available for selection this Saturday. 534 00:26:01,173 --> 00:26:02,253 Speaker 4: The Big League. 535 00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:08,013 Speaker 2: On the Warriors Bad Wagon since day one, the Big 536 00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:10,853 Speaker 2: Lead podcast for the Biggest League fans. 537 00:26:11,773 --> 00:26:14,853 Speaker 4: Right Berge, we'll get back into quick fire predictions. The 538 00:26:15,293 --> 00:26:16,573 Speaker 4: ding and buzzer are back. 539 00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:19,893 Speaker 3: I know Billy was saying I didn't leave him the 540 00:26:20,293 --> 00:26:22,693 Speaker 3: tech sound and the buzzer sound in the handover notes. 541 00:26:22,733 --> 00:26:26,493 Speaker 3: I apologize, Billy, but actually every time Nick host this podcast, 542 00:26:26,493 --> 00:26:29,533 Speaker 3: the Worries loose to the Raiders, so I might need 543 00:26:29,573 --> 00:26:31,173 Speaker 3: to find a replacement replacement. 544 00:26:32,973 --> 00:26:37,453 Speaker 5: The other issue is Nick and I we went zero 545 00:26:37,613 --> 00:26:41,213 Speaker 5: for five I think during that origin period with all 546 00:26:41,253 --> 00:26:44,373 Speaker 5: those players out, so we both considered well, there was 547 00:26:44,613 --> 00:26:48,333 Speaker 5: feedback as well that we should actually forget about this 548 00:26:48,533 --> 00:26:52,013 Speaker 5: expert tipping because there's a lack of experts obviously, lack 549 00:26:52,053 --> 00:26:55,453 Speaker 5: of expertise. And you haven't been great either, Like I 550 00:26:55,613 --> 00:26:59,013 Speaker 5: was always better than you. So I think if I'm zero, 551 00:26:59,413 --> 00:27:01,693 Speaker 5: what does that make you? You sort of negative too? 552 00:27:02,013 --> 00:27:02,373 Speaker 4: I don't know. 553 00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:05,573 Speaker 5: So let's see, let's see if we can regenerate. 554 00:27:06,413 --> 00:27:11,853 Speaker 3: I'm going eight for eight this week. Yeah, yeah, eight 555 00:27:11,933 --> 00:27:15,493 Speaker 3: by eight more like eight Knights Sea Eagles. 556 00:27:16,533 --> 00:27:19,133 Speaker 5: Man, I feel so sorry for Newcastle fans. They're just 557 00:27:19,213 --> 00:27:21,173 Speaker 5: amazing fans, brilliant club. 558 00:27:21,013 --> 00:27:23,293 Speaker 4: But they're in a real we need to start to 559 00:27:23,333 --> 00:27:27,493 Speaker 4: go fund me. They're in a real hole. You never know. 560 00:27:27,653 --> 00:27:32,773 Speaker 5: At home, they could bounce back, but I think Manly 561 00:27:32,893 --> 00:27:34,053 Speaker 5: will be will be too good. 562 00:27:34,773 --> 00:27:38,253 Speaker 4: You never know, but they won't bounce back. Manly Storm 563 00:27:38,373 --> 00:27:39,613 Speaker 4: versus the Cowboys. 564 00:27:39,733 --> 00:27:41,813 Speaker 5: Storm for me, although the Cowboys that I do like 565 00:27:41,893 --> 00:27:44,093 Speaker 5: what the Cowboys are doing. They're a good team this 566 00:27:44,253 --> 00:27:46,533 Speaker 5: year and they're going to be riding the mix in September. 567 00:27:47,373 --> 00:27:49,253 Speaker 5: I love their attacking play, so they're the kind of 568 00:27:49,293 --> 00:27:54,213 Speaker 5: team that can really threaten the Storm because they have 569 00:27:54,373 --> 00:27:57,493 Speaker 5: got a lot of weapons. But I normally don't tip 570 00:27:57,533 --> 00:28:00,933 Speaker 5: against the Storm at home unless there's some crazy circumstances 571 00:28:01,053 --> 00:28:03,213 Speaker 5: or they're playing a team that's really on fire. So 572 00:28:03,253 --> 00:28:04,293 Speaker 5: I'll go with the Storm. 573 00:28:04,853 --> 00:28:08,253 Speaker 3: Dolphins versus the Dragons. And Dragons haven't done too badly 574 00:28:08,893 --> 00:28:10,453 Speaker 3: although they were only playing the nights. 575 00:28:11,613 --> 00:28:13,493 Speaker 5: Yeah, but they also beat the Broncos the week before 576 00:28:13,533 --> 00:28:16,773 Speaker 5: that in Brisbane, so yeah, that Dragon's going well. This 577 00:28:16,973 --> 00:28:19,573 Speaker 5: is a real fifty to fifty, I would think, So 578 00:28:19,653 --> 00:28:21,373 Speaker 5: in that case, I'll go with I'll go with the 579 00:28:21,413 --> 00:28:21,853 Speaker 5: home team. 580 00:28:22,493 --> 00:28:26,893 Speaker 3: I'm going to go with the Dragons Sharks versus the 581 00:28:27,053 --> 00:28:28,053 Speaker 3: Warriors Burge. 582 00:28:28,293 --> 00:28:29,733 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is one of the harder ones of the 583 00:28:29,773 --> 00:28:31,693 Speaker 5: season to predict. It really is. You've got a Warrior's 584 00:28:31,733 --> 00:28:35,613 Speaker 5: team on a roll, going so well suddenly without Mitch Bunnette. 585 00:28:35,693 --> 00:28:39,133 Speaker 5: I mean, the Mitch Bunnett impact will be felt in 586 00:28:39,253 --> 00:28:42,573 Speaker 5: the coming months rather than rather than this Saturday. Because 587 00:28:43,173 --> 00:28:45,133 Speaker 5: these kind of injuries, the team is always you know, 588 00:28:45,213 --> 00:28:47,413 Speaker 5: there's a sort of an emotional bounce back and they'll 589 00:28:47,453 --> 00:28:50,093 Speaker 5: get through this one. Okay, it's more how they cope 590 00:28:51,293 --> 00:28:55,973 Speaker 5: in July, August, September without them. But yeah, really tough 591 00:28:56,053 --> 00:28:59,533 Speaker 5: to cause be close night game over there. I'm going 592 00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:04,413 Speaker 5: to lean towards the Sydney team here. I just wonder 593 00:29:04,493 --> 00:29:07,373 Speaker 5: if they'll have the edge. 594 00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:11,253 Speaker 3: I am backing the wires, like you said, an emotional 595 00:29:11,373 --> 00:29:14,813 Speaker 3: response to their captain going down, and that means James 596 00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:17,973 Speaker 3: Fisher Harris is going to be an absolute beast Broncos 597 00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:19,053 Speaker 3: versus the Titans. 598 00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:22,213 Speaker 4: What's happening at the Broncos, burge, what is wrong with them? 599 00:29:23,053 --> 00:29:25,053 Speaker 5: I mean, this is why it's so great to be 600 00:29:25,773 --> 00:29:28,693 Speaker 5: following and reporting on the Warriors at the moment, because 601 00:29:28,693 --> 00:29:32,053 Speaker 5: you've got a Warriors team that the culture is so good, 602 00:29:32,453 --> 00:29:36,173 Speaker 5: everything's clicking, everything's working working hard for each other. And 603 00:29:36,213 --> 00:29:39,773 Speaker 5: then the opposite corner, you've got the Broncos where things 604 00:29:39,813 --> 00:29:41,693 Speaker 5: are just going so wrong. And you know, the Broncos 605 00:29:41,773 --> 00:29:43,853 Speaker 5: when they do getting these runner losses, you know, the 606 00:29:43,933 --> 00:29:46,213 Speaker 5: media just piles on. I feel quite sorry for Michael 607 00:29:46,253 --> 00:29:49,173 Speaker 5: maguire because the Broncos were a mess last season. People 608 00:29:49,213 --> 00:29:51,853 Speaker 5: forget that as well, and he's had a lot to fix. 609 00:29:52,053 --> 00:29:56,093 Speaker 5: Maybe he hasn't quite gone about things perfectly with what 610 00:29:56,173 --> 00:29:59,053 Speaker 5: he's trying to do, But I. 611 00:29:59,093 --> 00:29:59,733 Speaker 4: Don't know, Nathan. 612 00:29:59,773 --> 00:30:02,093 Speaker 5: I mean, they're your team, one of your teams, but 613 00:30:02,213 --> 00:30:03,693 Speaker 5: I was waiting for you to bring this up. Well, no, 614 00:30:03,733 --> 00:30:06,733 Speaker 5: I'm just saying that they've got so many big names 615 00:30:06,773 --> 00:30:12,933 Speaker 5: on paper, but it's the old story. They don't look connected, 616 00:30:12,973 --> 00:30:14,493 Speaker 5: they don't look like a team. They don't look that 617 00:30:14,653 --> 00:30:18,133 Speaker 5: unified the way they're playing. But yeah, they have to 618 00:30:18,173 --> 00:30:21,213 Speaker 5: win this one Queensland Derby at home against the Titans. 619 00:30:21,693 --> 00:30:22,933 Speaker 5: They have to and I think they will. 620 00:30:23,453 --> 00:30:27,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost four in a row and if you 621 00:30:27,173 --> 00:30:29,093 Speaker 3: look at their team on paper, you're like, right, that 622 00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:31,133 Speaker 3: is the top four team. I thought Michael McGuire coming in, 623 00:30:31,173 --> 00:30:33,453 Speaker 3: who I rate. I love Michael McGuire. I thought he'd 624 00:30:33,533 --> 00:30:36,173 Speaker 3: really create that culture that they needed and that star 625 00:30:36,293 --> 00:30:37,533 Speaker 3: power would start to show through. 626 00:30:38,173 --> 00:30:40,293 Speaker 4: And it just hasn't. It hasn't at all. 627 00:30:41,213 --> 00:30:44,613 Speaker 3: Having said that, I never like picking the Titans, So 628 00:30:44,693 --> 00:30:47,733 Speaker 3: we're picking the Broncos Raiders versus the Rabbidos. 629 00:30:48,373 --> 00:30:52,173 Speaker 5: Either Raiders looking really good. This is turning into another 630 00:30:53,453 --> 00:30:55,733 Speaker 5: This is sort of the second great Raiders team that 631 00:30:55,893 --> 00:30:58,293 Speaker 5: Ricky Stewart's put together, after that team he had in 632 00:30:58,373 --> 00:31:01,373 Speaker 5: twenty eighteen nineteen when they made the Grand Final nineteen, 633 00:31:01,493 --> 00:31:04,613 Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. This is the sort of second 634 00:31:04,653 --> 00:31:08,333 Speaker 5: wave of his team He's got all these young players, 635 00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:10,773 Speaker 5: a bit of a sort of moneyball approach to how 636 00:31:10,813 --> 00:31:13,213 Speaker 5: they've recruited, and it's just paying off in spades. And 637 00:31:13,253 --> 00:31:16,133 Speaker 5: then Joe Tappany the most underrated and won the best 638 00:31:16,173 --> 00:31:18,693 Speaker 5: props in the game. So far out they're looking good. 639 00:31:18,853 --> 00:31:20,693 Speaker 5: They'll they'll be too good for the Rabbit as the 640 00:31:20,733 --> 00:31:22,813 Speaker 5: Rabbits are courageous against the Warriors. But if you think 641 00:31:22,813 --> 00:31:25,973 Speaker 5: about the Rabbits, they're still missing Cody Walker, who is 642 00:31:26,053 --> 00:31:29,533 Speaker 5: their absolute key playmaker, and they're still missing Cameron Murray, 643 00:31:29,533 --> 00:31:31,813 Speaker 5: who's one of the best forwards in the game, and 644 00:31:31,853 --> 00:31:35,893 Speaker 5: he's their captain. So it's it's hard to see the Rabbits, 645 00:31:36,653 --> 00:31:37,653 Speaker 5: you know, getting close to the. 646 00:31:37,693 --> 00:31:42,053 Speaker 3: Raiders down in camera, Tigers, Panthers, speaking of teams who 647 00:31:42,173 --> 00:31:46,053 Speaker 3: on paper should be good and aren't, but they did 648 00:31:46,133 --> 00:31:47,373 Speaker 3: have a win the Panthers. 649 00:31:47,413 --> 00:31:51,013 Speaker 5: Are you talking with Panthers? Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, 650 00:31:51,013 --> 00:31:52,573 Speaker 5: I mean, to be fair, they think they've won four 651 00:31:52,613 --> 00:31:56,333 Speaker 5: Premierships in a row, so you know they're allowed to 652 00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:57,453 Speaker 5: have a little No one, no. 653 00:31:57,533 --> 00:32:02,333 Speaker 4: One, no one was picking that. I mean far out. 654 00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:04,253 Speaker 4: They're off the bottom of the table now at least. 655 00:32:04,333 --> 00:32:06,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I was talking about we're talking 656 00:32:06,573 --> 00:32:08,893 Speaker 5: about this Nico last week and he was saying he 657 00:32:09,053 --> 00:32:10,653 Speaker 5: thinks they still can make the eight, and I kind 658 00:32:10,653 --> 00:32:12,173 Speaker 5: of agree with them. The kind of team that can 659 00:32:12,293 --> 00:32:14,613 Speaker 5: go on a that can go on a run like 660 00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:17,093 Speaker 5: there was a really important win against Paramatta and then 661 00:32:17,093 --> 00:32:21,373 Speaker 5: they've got another West Sydney Darby, haven't they against the Tigers. 662 00:32:22,613 --> 00:32:24,533 Speaker 5: You know, once they get rolling, they'll be good again. 663 00:32:24,533 --> 00:32:26,933 Speaker 5: They've got Nathan Cleary, I mean, with him, they've still 664 00:32:26,933 --> 00:32:29,333 Speaker 5: got some good forwards. I know they're missing Fisher Harris, 665 00:32:29,373 --> 00:32:32,853 Speaker 5: They're really missing Fisher Harris, really missing Jerome Leuie. But 666 00:32:33,373 --> 00:32:35,933 Speaker 5: I think they'll be too good for the for the Tigers. 667 00:32:35,973 --> 00:32:39,533 Speaker 5: The Tigers are one those teams that, unfortunately they're going 668 00:32:39,613 --> 00:32:41,493 Speaker 5: to run out of steam as the season goes on. 669 00:32:41,893 --> 00:32:43,693 Speaker 5: Where they start, you know what, I mean, they start 670 00:32:43,693 --> 00:32:46,933 Speaker 5: well the first two months, but the squad is just 671 00:32:47,493 --> 00:32:50,373 Speaker 5: a bit thin, and they've had all the Bloody Lucky 672 00:32:50,453 --> 00:32:51,733 Speaker 5: Galvin upheaval as well. 673 00:32:51,933 --> 00:32:55,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, stuff going on off the field during Calvin. Yeah, 674 00:32:55,973 --> 00:32:58,813 Speaker 3: for that reason, you're picking the Panthers. Yes, Sorry, they 675 00:32:58,853 --> 00:33:00,933 Speaker 3: took a took age to get this. 676 00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:01,813 Speaker 4: I agree with you. 677 00:33:01,973 --> 00:33:02,693 Speaker 5: Just make a decision. 678 00:33:02,773 --> 00:33:06,173 Speaker 3: Burgers and Burgers Bulldogs versus the Eels. 679 00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:09,253 Speaker 5: Well, you'll be going for the as I imagine, because you. 680 00:33:09,653 --> 00:33:13,613 Speaker 4: Why, your als, your team Bird, you love them. 681 00:33:13,853 --> 00:33:18,093 Speaker 5: I do, sentimentally I do. But now the Bulldogs will 682 00:33:18,133 --> 00:33:20,373 Speaker 5: be too good. But I'm really interested to see this 683 00:33:20,813 --> 00:33:23,853 Speaker 5: where Galvin plays, when he plays what impacted has I 684 00:33:24,013 --> 00:33:28,533 Speaker 5: don't like these mid season moves like this. They're going 685 00:33:28,613 --> 00:33:31,813 Speaker 5: so well, and let's say this right here and see 686 00:33:31,853 --> 00:33:33,573 Speaker 5: what see if we're right towards the end. But I 687 00:33:33,693 --> 00:33:36,333 Speaker 5: really think it could be a mistake what they've done. 688 00:33:36,853 --> 00:33:39,613 Speaker 5: And this is all about Phil Gold's ego. It's all 689 00:33:39,653 --> 00:33:43,453 Speaker 5: about foh, it's all about Phil Gold getting the move shit. 690 00:33:45,373 --> 00:33:48,013 Speaker 4: Whereas. But let's see. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's going 691 00:33:48,093 --> 00:33:48,733 Speaker 4: to be a sensation. 692 00:33:49,133 --> 00:33:51,653 Speaker 5: But the fact they're losing, they're going to lose sex 693 00:33:51,693 --> 00:33:55,053 Speaker 5: and he's been going well, I don't know, let's see 694 00:33:55,053 --> 00:33:55,453 Speaker 5: what happens. 695 00:33:56,093 --> 00:33:57,253 Speaker 4: I'm becking the Bulldogs. 696 00:33:57,493 --> 00:33:59,173 Speaker 3: Thank you, Michael Butter just for your time, your wisdom, 697 00:33:59,493 --> 00:34:01,453 Speaker 3: and thank you Nick Bewley as well for hosting the 698 00:34:01,493 --> 00:34:03,933 Speaker 3: podcast over the last couple of weeks.
