Speaker 1: Cut to music, cuto music, cut to music. It's too upbeat,
Speaker 1: Die Henwood. This weekend I was hurt. You know, I
Speaker 1: guess through my relationship with the Warriors, over the last
Speaker 1: twenty five years, it's been up and down. You know,
Speaker 1: you sort of get used to it. But over the
Speaker 1: last two years, I just it's been so good, it's
Speaker 1: been so so good. But then on the weekend they
Speaker 1: hurt me again.
Speaker 2: Well, this is a safe space, so you can show
Speaker 2: me on the doll where the titan touched you?
Speaker 1: I mean, where didn't the titan touch me?
Speaker 2: Eleven tries, sixty six times over eighty minutes, sixty six times,
Speaker 2: almost one a minute. The number of the be sixty
Speaker 2: six sex.
Speaker 1: We need to exercise, we need to exercise the performance,
Speaker 1: and that's what we here to do on the Mad
Speaker 1: Monday Podcast, brought to you by four and twenty fives.
Speaker 1: We're here to exercise the demons from this absolute drubbing.
Speaker 1: There's not I was just so flat commentating it at
Speaker 1: the time. Die, I have now commentated the two worst
Speaker 1: losses and Warriors history.
Speaker 2: So there was no redemption. It was a couple of
Speaker 2: quick tries. Okay, Actually I was thinking initially a couple
Speaker 2: of quick tries. That's okay, this is good. The Warriors
Speaker 2: come back. Usually when we score early it's bad. But
Speaker 2: then I was like, oh, another try it, another try it,
Speaker 2: another try. It was relentless, and then it got worse
Speaker 2: in the second half.
Speaker 1: So we went into the half down by quite a
Speaker 1: bit and we thought, I thought, here's a comeback. This
Speaker 1: is going to be a big comeback. And it just
Speaker 1: got so much, so much worse. Full field tries, intercept tries,
Speaker 1: rolling us down the field from their own goal.
Speaker 2: Line, arts center, He is sent off.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 2: What, what the fuck? It's it's a game also where
Speaker 2: we viciously lost everything. Eleven tries to one, one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty nine runs to one hundred and thirty nine.
Speaker 2: They won the possession, The territory was fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: The run meters.
Speaker 1: Weren't because they were scoring from their own half.
Speaker 2: Line breaks thirteen to one. Errors We made twelve, they
Speaker 2: made six. It's just grim. Let me give you some grim.
Speaker 2: Let me give you some words here.
Speaker 1: Diece, soft, embarrassing, destroyed, absolutely dominated. Those were all words
Speaker 1: used by Webby at the press conference.
Speaker 2: Afterwards. Wow.
Speaker 1: He was trying to remain quite upbeat, as he often does.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, this is still a good team. We
Speaker 1: can we and he owned it.
Speaker 2: He owned he said, I'm a big part of this.
Speaker 1: Yes. And the thing that hurts me the most they
Speaker 1: think out of all of it is that despite the
Speaker 1: fact that there were eleven tries. If I told you
Speaker 1: that the Gold Coast Titans scored eleven tries, how many
Speaker 1: would you say that Dave Feeder scored? Probably three.
Speaker 2: I think Dave for Feeder had a three hundred point
Speaker 2: Super Coach game. Three tries, ten tackle busts.
Speaker 1: No, he didn't score one. I think he scored sixty
Speaker 1: points in Supercoach.
Speaker 2: It was the young boys, Hey who Kenny Keno Kenny
Speaker 2: and Jaydeen Campbell.
Speaker 1: And I was saying before the game, I said this
Speaker 1: last week. These are the exact guys that we struggle with,
Speaker 1: those whip it quick, skinny little dudes who just whipped through.
Speaker 1: We're slow.
Speaker 2: So generally we are slower than other teams. Yes, because
Speaker 2: and we're evenly slow. You know, we don't have a
Speaker 2: couple of real sprinters. But we looked like we were
Speaker 2: walking through mud, looked like we were playing a mud
Speaker 2: and they are on a dry track. Granted it was
Speaker 2: so hot there, but we were mentally out of that game.
Speaker 2: What worried me. I know every player on that park
Speaker 2: wanted to win, but we looked like we didn't care.
Speaker 2: And Adam fanoa blake, at one point looked like he
Speaker 2: was going to walk to just walk straight to Granulla.
Speaker 2: At about quarter of the way through the game, he
Speaker 2: had one of his worst games he did.
Speaker 1: It was like, towards the end of the game, he came,
Speaker 1: he took a head up and I was just like,
Speaker 1: where the hell has he been for a while.
Speaker 2: But the thing is we didn't really have the ball.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I read an interesting analysis on Reddit which actually run
Speaker 2: quite true with me. I believe it was from shivedic
Speaker 2: underscore three who said, who said was last year a
Speaker 2: false storm? Because it's very hard to back up when
Speaker 2: you've had five players have career best years Pompey, Wigan,
Speaker 2: d w Z, Sean Johnson, Jackson Ford right, and probably
Speaker 2: a couple others have c have Korea best years. It's
Speaker 2: very hard to back up a career best year. He
Speaker 2: also made an interesting point going to shividic shieve Dick
Speaker 2: underscore three. That's three as an III as well, not
Speaker 2: the number three.
Speaker 1: The Royal three.
Speaker 2: The Royal three. Also made the point that coming into
Speaker 2: last year, Sean Johnson had had three out of four years,
Speaker 2: so potentially teams did no video on him. Then he
Speaker 2: wound the clock back and just played out of his skin.
Speaker 2: Now they've done all the video on how he steps,
Speaker 2: how he runs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where he likes to get the ball, yeah, where.
Speaker 2: He likes to get the ball, and the worrying stats.
Speaker 2: But we've won three lost date with SJ at halfback,
Speaker 2: have one three lost zero with to Marty at half back.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel if we want to persist with SJ, we
Speaker 2: need to put Cht not to Marty at six because
Speaker 2: I believe to Marty is halfback. We need a running
Speaker 2: We then need Ht or Metcalf at six.
Speaker 1: Well we miss Metcalf so much.
Speaker 2: Or we go to Marty at half back and Cht
Speaker 2: at six?
Speaker 1: What about? And I've been proposing this for a number
Speaker 1: of weeks now. If not a Jersey swap, at least
Speaker 1: a role swap between to Mary and Sean Johnson, we
Speaker 1: keep Sean Johnson on the park. It's just that to
Speaker 1: Mighty Martin steers the ship instead of Sean Johnson and
Speaker 1: then s J can just pick a spot's run lines
Speaker 1: sort of you know, go back to the hot step
Speaker 1: in Seawann Johnson that he used to be.
Speaker 2: Do or do you have HT in the fourteen and
Speaker 2: C and Sean actually swap a bit so you have
Speaker 2: Sean in that sex and then Cht comes on and
Speaker 2: subs Frum and spells it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So then Sean's playing an impact game because he looks
Speaker 2: a bit broken. He got another injury in that game.
Speaker 2: He's been an amazing servant for the club. But something
Speaker 2: needs to happen in this because the new South Wales
Speaker 2: boys are popping off. They beat the Dragons eighteen to eight.
Speaker 2: I believe they're flying. When we had the young boys
Speaker 2: in and we mounted those three wins which sort of
Speaker 2: got our season back on track, we were flying with
Speaker 2: the TWI Pickies, the MGMT, the old Mouila Graham tofa
Speaker 2: those boys Laban. There's still some big fast boys in
Speaker 2: that cup side. We need some pace.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Mitch bon Need even said that after one of
Speaker 1: those games it was like it was the young Fellaws
Speaker 1: that led the way for us, like they turned up
Speaker 1: and they were giving it there all, you know, because
Speaker 1: they're on debut or whatever, trying to make a name
Speaker 1: for themselves, and it reminded all of the older players, shit,
Speaker 1: that's right. You can't just sho up and go through
Speaker 1: the motions like you got to shop and go hammer
Speaker 1: and tongs.
Speaker 2: And aside from the fact that Toadhu is Rugby League's
Speaker 2: Steven Adams, he looks remarkably like Steven Adams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, heide to side it does.
Speaker 2: He's looking a bit nack at eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks buggered.
Speaker 2: He just looks worn.
Speaker 1: But he always looks like that. But having said that,
Speaker 1: he does look like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And the game before, when we.
Speaker 2: Started Dylan Walker at thirteen, I thought that we played
Speaker 2: with a lot of pace and energy, but more fizz.
Speaker 2: Whether we need to start the game with Walker and
Speaker 2: Jazz on.
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think that Tahu just goes
Speaker 1: into that sort of I mean, he already is a middle forward,
Speaker 1: but I think he sort of goes into that prop
Speaker 1: rotation and then we have Jazz and Dylan just into
Speaker 1: that thirteen jersey.
Speaker 2: And what what this game showed as well is how
Speaker 2: important Mitch Barnett. Yeah, is to our side.
Speaker 1: Well off the kickoff in the second half, Jazz Tavanga
Speaker 1: took the first hit up off the back fence. That's
Speaker 1: that's how out of stock we were. But why is
Speaker 1: in a laban? Yeah exactly that they didn't come on
Speaker 1: to like the last ten minutes.
Speaker 2: Also, I I feel Bunty's been a bit hard done by.
Speaker 2: He has been, but then we've actually got good stocks.
Speaker 2: And yeah, he has been injured, he said to Hamm.
Speaker 2: I think he was the eighteenth man this weekend, or
Speaker 2: at least he was. Yes, hopefully he will be coming back.
Speaker 1: We could do with that. That's a bit of fizz off.
Speaker 2: What's just what worries me is this Sek is they're
Speaker 2: equal to the worst loss for us and it's the
Speaker 2: best ever win for the Titans. They are, I mean,
Speaker 2: they're no easy beats, seventeenth best team in the camp
Speaker 2: right and sixteen better is the second time we've lost
Speaker 2: to them this year. What worries me is we're playing
Speaker 2: the Broncos at home. We struggle at Mount Smart to
Speaker 2: win this year. Yeah, and also yeah, you know we've
Speaker 2: lost to the Dragons at Mount Smart. We've lost to
Speaker 2: the Titans at Mount Smart. We choked against Cronulla at
Speaker 2: Mount Smart. We choked against the Seagles, Seagles at Mount
Speaker 2: Smart where we just clawed back that draw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good the one.
Speaker 2: What do you think are we playing finals this year?
Speaker 1: I just feel like, and this goes back to my
Speaker 1: original point, it could be so good or am I
Speaker 1: just am I holding onto a relationship that's not there anymore?
Speaker 2: So minim the with results going for us, we need
Speaker 2: to win seven out of nine games. Yes, we did
Speaker 2: this LUs we have the two buys this.
Speaker 1: Experiment last week and even then we were like, well
Speaker 1: we're going to beat the Titans and we'll beat the Tigers.
Speaker 1: Well they've both run up massive scores this weekend and
Speaker 1: we got a hiding.
Speaker 2: So now we basically to guarantee the eight, we can't
Speaker 2: drop a game now for the remainder of the season
Speaker 2: to guarantee it to be in that mathematical equation, we
Speaker 2: could drop two games. But that's I see. I just
Speaker 2: see some more games dropped than we think are on
Speaker 2: the cards, because like the Brisbane's going to be a
Speaker 2: hard game, the Broncos. We've got Broncos, Dogs, Raiders, Tigers, Eels, Dolphins,
Speaker 2: Manly Dog Sharks. We play the Dogs twice, I think
Speaker 2: beats us. They're a very good side, and we play
Speaker 2: them away and at home. We play the Sharks last, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Sharks will be getting their shit together to go
Speaker 2: into finals. Manly we're playing right towards the end of
Speaker 2: the season, so they will have their stocks back out again.
Speaker 1: Hopefully, yeah, hopefully.
Speaker 2: The Raiders and the Tigers are like looking like a
Speaker 2: danger team with all the young players. There was a
Speaker 2: bit of a cracker of a game. It was sadly.
Speaker 2: I started watching that game and then I turned it
Speaker 2: off for ten minutes and I was like, my appetite
Speaker 2: for the league is just I feel put off my
Speaker 2: league this weekend because that Warriors lost. Then I tuned
Speaker 2: back in and I was like, whoa, the Tigers are
Speaker 2: up gaul yeah, and then they put a score on.
Speaker 2: Then all I went through my head is, oh god,
Speaker 2: we'll get beaten by the Tiger. How do you turn
Speaker 2: this ship around? Webby? I think people also forget Webby
Speaker 2: is a very novice coach, right, He's as novice as
Speaker 2: Cameron Sirallo. Cameron Serraldo at the Bulldogs had a shocker
Speaker 2: year last year. But the dogs have come right this year?
Speaker 2: Are we reverse way round? We had a honeymoon period,
Speaker 2: then we're having teething issues and we wanted Serauto.
Speaker 1: He was our first choice. We didn't get him, and
Speaker 1: then we got Webster and then last year we were like,
Speaker 1: shame we got the right one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Webby's not the issue, I think, however, I'm intrigued
Speaker 2: with his selections right because I thought Cossi was a
Speaker 2: very intriguing selection because he hasn't been fizzing at CAUP,
Speaker 2: and I was wondering more whether you bring Graham Tulfen
Speaker 2: who had that absolutely epic game, or whether we need
Speaker 2: a tained tour picky on the on the when to
Speaker 2: just because he's fast.
Speaker 1: As fast, but he would get peppered on defense.
Speaker 2: He's and also he's a shorter body as well.
Speaker 1: So do we put Roger out on one of the wings?
Speaker 2: Roger out of one of the wings? I keep thinking
Speaker 2: how good Charms was in the halves at one time
Speaker 2: he played.
Speaker 1: Is such a ballplayer do I mean? I know we've
Speaker 1: been talking about this this entire season. Does an Artis
Speaker 1: need to be back at fullback?
Speaker 2: I think he does, so he hasn't been unlocked right
Speaker 2: now for some reason. When Sean's playing, Artis's side never
Speaker 2: gets the ball and with this had no impact on
Speaker 2: the game. But he shouldn't have been sent.
Speaker 1: Off with it.
Speaker 2: No, it was ridiculous. There was rubbish. I saw some
Speaker 2: die hard fans still claiming the ref outed us. There
Speaker 2: might have been a couple of calls, but sixty six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I do think I think we need
Speaker 1: the ball in Roger's hands more often, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: we're just going to try something.
Speaker 2: And also he's not going to do it though when
Speaker 2: he's at center, he doesn't have any of those chances
Speaker 2: where he's really winding up, so he's not putting on
Speaker 2: his lightning full footwork at full pace. However, I would
Speaker 2: say cht, sorry, Charms is better under the high ball
Speaker 2: than Roger. Roger's got a few drops in him. Also
Speaker 2: touch the monies. I love me some Jackson Ford, but
Speaker 2: he makes a mistake at the epic time, and I
Speaker 2: thought that he drops the ball over the line. He
Speaker 2: drops the ball in scoring opportunities. Whenever he drops the ball,
Speaker 2: it seems to be at such a crucial point, and
Speaker 2: I think that's.
Speaker 1: Why they well, I thought that's why they moved him
Speaker 1: into the middle. We can't keep having you knock this
Speaker 1: ball on every time it comes out to you in edge. Well,
Speaker 1: sure enough, he's doing it in the middle too, So
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Mass respect to Marata nia Kordo. Yeah, he was one
Speaker 2: of our best on field. He goes hard. I still
Speaker 2: think Chance gives it as all. Yea. Our defense was woeful,
Speaker 2: though porous, softer than a lemonade sandwich. Bruh. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know how you fix that. I don't know how
Speaker 2: you fix the will to stand up for each other.
Speaker 2: I mean James Fisher Harris is going to shake things
Speaker 2: up when he comes over. He won't be tolerating any
Speaker 2: of this rubbish.
Speaker 1: No, that is a good point. Actually, like edenfanoa blake,
Speaker 1: he's out at the end of the season.
Speaker 2: What does he give a shit? He looks a bit
Speaker 2: signed out a little bit, yeah, a little bit, not
Speaker 2: massively like he's still going to take a massive carry.
Speaker 1: He'll still make any tackle that you ask him to.
Speaker 1: It's just that he's probably I've never seen him once
Speaker 1: rally the boys when we're down. You know, he's not
Speaker 1: going to turn that around.
Speaker 2: But you're right, James MJ was crying when he walked
Speaker 2: to the sheds.
Speaker 1: Yeah that means a bit to him. But he also
Speaker 1: looks injured. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I think we've just got to fire some shots.
Speaker 1: I would rather and this hasn't been Webster's DNA at all,
Speaker 1: but I would rather that we shuffled the team up
Speaker 1: a bit, had a crack, fired some shots and then
Speaker 1: missed the eight, then stuck with what's clearly not working
Speaker 1: and then missed the eight.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I completely agree. My thing is going, Look, we're
Speaker 2: not winning the camp this year, right, No team who is,
Speaker 2: no team who has had a fifty point plus drubbing,
Speaker 2: has ever won the camp. But can we call some
Speaker 2: issues around finals? Potentially? Why wouldn't your blood the young
Speaker 2: boys when you've got Rockelberry with an injury that looks
Speaker 2: to keep him out for quite a while, Why wouldn't
Speaker 2: you blood some of these young guys, and especially forwards
Speaker 2: with game time.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, but I mean, Jacob
Speaker 1: Blaven said on the bench for seventy minutes.
Speaker 2: I worry. Yeah, he often leaves. We often have one
Speaker 2: player on the bench who plays ten minutes or less.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're playing with one less player than the
Speaker 1: other team.
Speaker 2: Essentially, there's a lot I can't understand that. I actually
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if we be known to the same team. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he will, he will so, and then they'll probably win
Speaker 2: and we'll be like, well, what the fuck do we know? Weirdly,
Speaker 2: we'll go furning plas on the Bronco.
Speaker 1: That's right, So.
Speaker 2: We'll ree Welsh back up.
Speaker 1: Ah, yes, i'd say he will. I think that Reese
Speaker 1: Walsh is sick of people saying that he's soft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's got a.
Speaker 2: Bit to prove.
Speaker 1: Also thing he loves playing rugby league and.
Speaker 2: He probably likes tearing up the Warriors. I worry Dean Marinatt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Reese Walsh is mam ezra mamksni stacks. Yeah, they've got
Speaker 2: a good side, got a good team.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that hopefully if we can get them
Speaker 1: just after Origin, we can we can drag them down.
Speaker 1: We'll do a bit of a deep dive on that
Speaker 1: later on in the week of shorten week is Masaki.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break on we get anything more
Speaker 1: on the Warriors. Can we put this in the review mirror?
Speaker 2: I think we have to put it in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 2: It was our biggest signing and a very long time.
Speaker 2: It was the lowest point for Webb in his career
Speaker 2: so far. Let's hope this is a blip. Let's hope
Speaker 2: this is a speed bump. Let's hope it to banana
Speaker 2: skin and let's hope we get the full banana up
Speaker 2: us next week.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break just before we do.
Speaker 1: The four and twenty four pack prize pack is back.
Speaker 1: Each month the Mad Monday Team's got four tickets to
Speaker 1: the next home game and four and twenty five ouchs
Speaker 1: as well. Just text the monthly keyword to three two
Speaker 1: three six, which for the month of June is yum.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to give you the
Speaker 1: Stoker off the Round. It's time now for the Stalker
Speaker 1: of the Round, and the stalker this week is It
Speaker 1: was the first game of the round.
Speaker 2: I believe it was the Dolphins versus the Storm thirty
Speaker 2: Friday night, thirty points to twenty four. It was a
Speaker 2: hell of a game and it came right down to it,
Speaker 2: both teams scoring late in the piece. Jermaina Suckle was
Speaker 2: just brought down short at the seventy ninth minute and
Speaker 2: it was a little bit of a fizzer at the end,
Speaker 2: But what a game. There was a contender for Game
Speaker 2: of the Year and both teams right at the height
Speaker 2: of their powers to beat a pung eye junior back
Speaker 2: for the Dolphins as well. I may have brought him
Speaker 2: into my super coach Veta Pungye junior like I thought
Speaker 2: he was going to be a bit of a ride off.
Speaker 2: He actually was a big impact player. He was shot
Speaker 2: where he came out of the line.
Speaker 1: I rewatched that this morning. I didn't hear it when
Speaker 1: it happened at the time. If you rewatch it with
Speaker 1: the phones on, you can clearly hear the ref yelling
Speaker 1: because he's ten meters off side.
Speaker 2: He was almost in the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he absolutely smoked them and it was a
Speaker 1: fair hit. Though it was a fair hit. He looked
Speaker 1: apologetic afterwards, He's like, yeah, sorry, I definitely got my
Speaker 1: timing wrong. Just a little bit excited fellas. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know, but I retired last year.
Speaker 2: I know, but he just started running out of the line.
Speaker 2: It was a great game to watch. Here's my takeaway
Speaker 2: from that. Jerome Hughes is hard done by it because
Speaker 2: he's not Origin eligible. I reckon he is the second
Speaker 2: best half back in the NRL behind Nathan Cleary this
Speaker 2: year definitely, I mean yeah, purely this year. He had
Speaker 2: the ball on a string against the Warriors. He tried
Speaker 2: a bit too much, maybe early on in the Dolphins game,
Speaker 2: but he did some weird ass kicks. But he knows
Speaker 2: how to just get a team Hummer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he'll carve you the bits of well if
Speaker 1: you're not looking.
Speaker 2: And I think often when Munster was there, he played
Speaker 2: second fiddle to Munster. But Tyrone Wishart is popping off
Speaker 2: shit Melbourne just for a good side Peppy's back. He
Speaker 2: scored and his returns and looked good to He looked
Speaker 2: pretty electorate, Yeah he did. And how Good's Nick Many?
Speaker 2: Nick Many, Nick mayonnad because he no matter where he's playing,
Speaker 2: he gives it as all. He's superb. Nelson Sopher Solomon
Speaker 2: is coming back into form. But the Dolphins gave it
Speaker 2: a red hard go and a red hot It's not
Speaker 2: red hard, they gave it a red hard go. How
Speaker 2: Good's Trey Fuller as well. He's excellent. He's going to
Speaker 2: be another one of these dudes sort.
Speaker 1: Of like, well, I was going to say Blake Taff
Speaker 1: but you know when there's like a starting grade fullback
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings but just can't get any game time.
Speaker 2: Because I feel a bit sorry for himse I was like,
Speaker 2: surely he should be fullback for the Indigenous All Stars
Speaker 2: next year. And I was like, oh, you've got Trill
Speaker 2: the Hammer. He've got quite hefty Indigenous stocks there. But
Speaker 2: he is just he's an electric player. He's great to watch.
Speaker 2: He reminds me a little bit of Tame Tour Picky actually,
Speaker 2: just in the form the thing of he's hungry and
Speaker 2: he's always just he's always in the discussion. Yeah. Will
Speaker 2: Warbrock had a bit of a standout game.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Will Warbroock is tremendous. Just a massive ex New Zealand
Speaker 2: sevens player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just another long in the long list of New
Speaker 1: Zealander's posted by the Melbourne Storm. Go on to have a.
Speaker 2: And they just turn them into great players, don't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Warbrock hughes Cutour that the Bromiche brothers there for years.
Speaker 2: Bellamy's really taken Ellie cuttur under his wing man. He
Speaker 2: just is playing great football. How good is he running
Speaker 2: onto a bomb?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's the best. Just last week and
Speaker 1: he took Adam Pompey's lollies, ripped the ball out from
Speaker 1: the try line on the tryline and just scored a try.
Speaker 2: It's just like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That game though, that if that was the last game
Speaker 1: of the round, that would have restored your faith in
Speaker 1: rugby league, because yah, just the back and forth nature
Speaker 1: of it so far along. I was about to score
Speaker 1: one hundred meter try it until they got called back
Speaker 1: for Jerome Hughes Shiboting.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: I really love the fact that even though they've got
Speaker 2: pappenhaus and they're still playing so far long. Yeah. He
Speaker 2: And what was he in the fourteen in Jres He
Speaker 2: maybe I think he may have even started on them
Speaker 2: because he came in. I noticed when he moved sort
Speaker 2: of further back. Pappenhausen was playing dummy half for quite
Speaker 2: a while. Yeah right now. Look Bellamy was laughing after that.
Speaker 1: Game, well because he.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know normally normally he's just got he's
Speaker 2: got angry Kochi ad vibes.
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. But I think you know, he got
Speaker 1: betten by Waye Bennett again, and I think that's probably
Speaker 1: what he was laughing at. It's like, fuck, I can't
Speaker 1: beat this though. It doesn't matter what team he's with. No,
Speaker 1: he's got my number. But yeah, I think that was
Speaker 1: quite clearly game of the round. It could have been
Speaker 1: one right on the hooter as well.
Speaker 2: So that puts. That puts what with the storm taking
Speaker 2: that out, they are clear number one on the ladder.
Speaker 2: Dolphins are fifth, and you've got Penrith and Crenella munting
Speaker 2: around one and two. You've got Roosters in it for Yeah,
Speaker 2: my second team, the Roosters. They had a bit of
Speaker 2: a brutal went against the Dogs with one of the
Speaker 2: most tiftiest head high tackles I've seen in a while.
Speaker 1: It was an old school, old school clothesline hit high
Speaker 1: and the replay looks awful. It looked awful in real time.
Speaker 1: Junior Punga was the guy who did.
Speaker 2: It, and he also the guy who Hene wasn't really
Speaker 2: looking his way. He came because he came from the
Speaker 2: inside as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hit him late without the ball directly in
Speaker 1: the head.
Speaker 2: He had whipped around. It looked like a cree jump tackle.
Speaker 2: Last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the funniest part about that game though, early doors
Speaker 1: in the first half there was a streaker and they
Speaker 1: didn't They didn't show it, as they often don't. Later
Speaker 1: on the game, the game got stopped and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck was there for? And they will look
Speaker 1: at the reef. Everyone thought that they'd been penalized. They
Speaker 1: look over at the reef. He's holding a phone, an iPhone,
Speaker 1: and they got the fuck he gets there's a phone
Speaker 1: on the field, and one of the training said to
Speaker 1: come and get it off him. It was from the streaker.
Speaker 1: So when the streaker got tackled, he dropped his phone
Speaker 1: and left it on the field.
Speaker 2: That is respect rugby league sucked down. Yeah, last year
Speaker 2: I phone, but I suppose at least oh no, they
Speaker 2: would have arrested the streaker. Do you reckon they gave
Speaker 2: it back to him, the phone, potentially, I reckon.
Speaker 1: They may have a couple of other things from around
Speaker 1: the league before we get another air break and then
Speaker 1: you come off the back fence. The bottom two teams
Speaker 1: we talked about them, the Tigers and the Titans unfortunately
Speaker 1: put on one hundred and twelve points this weekend.
Speaker 2: That is insane. And now the person and last is
Speaker 2: not a team you'd expect. Oh jeez, see if you
Speaker 2: can guess Susan last.
Speaker 1: Yeh yeah. So it was the Tigers and they just
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders. The Titans were second last, so if
Speaker 1: they both vaulted the god no, okay, the Paramatta eels
Speaker 1: the eel.
Speaker 2: The Eels is seventeenth, Tiger's sixteenth, Titans fifteenth, South's fourteenth
Speaker 2: Warriors thirteenth was ub the wis so at best we
Speaker 2: could move to eleven. If we were next week, we
Speaker 2: could know we could move to twelfth. We can only
Speaker 2: go up one because Manly are ahead of us by
Speaker 2: two in eleventh and they've got a positive points differential.
Speaker 2: They're the only team with the positive points differential in
Speaker 2: the bottom ete. Our points differential took hammering. We were
Speaker 2: a positive but now a negative forty seven and South
Speaker 2: sadly look like they're going.
Speaker 1: On a made my son Stoke but they'll make noise
Speaker 1: in the finals.
Speaker 2: South look like they're winding up on O. South and
Speaker 2: Manly have a buy next week, So we stay exactly
Speaker 2: where we are even if we.
Speaker 1: Win and just a little bit of late mail. Roco Berry,
Speaker 1: of course injured, so he didn't travel with the team.
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that while the Warriors are missing his d
Speaker 1: it's still available at the long Room in Bonsenburg.
Speaker 2: O'll play, I gotta play.
Speaker 1: Apparently the Pantsman Joel Harrison was pesting around Rock Oberry
Speaker 1: on the weekend, pesting him for an injury update. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It sounds like it could be out for
Speaker 1: a while.
Speaker 2: So what is How does the pantsman does he put it?
Speaker 2: Does he slippy air tags into these NRL players bags
Speaker 2: or something?
Speaker 1: You must my in them?
Speaker 2: What is like? I see a few NRL players, but
Speaker 2: it's always around an NRL game or I've gone out
Speaker 2: to a training right. His hit rate for seeing NRL
Speaker 2: players in the wild is phenomenal. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: There's definitely something going on there. I don't know how
Speaker 1: he's finding them. He's always got the mail before anyone
Speaker 1: else has heard it as well.
Speaker 2: It's also a bit of a worry for Rocco if
Speaker 2: he's you know, you know you're properly injured if you're
Speaker 2: not traveling with a team and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I thought it was initially a hand, but
Speaker 1: now they're saying in a shoulder because he was.
Speaker 2: Holding his shoulder and then he is in a sort
Speaker 2: of full sling.
Speaker 1: It's also got a broken hand. Just take a few
Speaker 1: weeks out of it.
Speaker 2: It's a shame because if you look at our defensive performance, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he he was well needed one on one tackler in
Speaker 2: the league, tremendousty. I see Tailor May has been given
Speaker 2: his second breach notice by the Panthers. I don't think
Speaker 2: he'll be playing a lot of rugby league, No he won't.
Speaker 1: He I think he's made his account private. But he
Speaker 1: was one of the wildest followers for a wee while there.
Speaker 2: Oh this was before he got he got the new
Speaker 2: car and then did the like the the break the
Speaker 2: speed brier past the school.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was on his Instagram story doing one
Speaker 1: hundred k's past the school. This was again before he
Speaker 1: got the throat tattoo of his own last name.
Speaker 2: It's these sort of own goals like was it big
Speaker 2: teen or vaping in the.
Speaker 1: No Proctor Kevin Proctor Kevin.
Speaker 2: Procner side show Bob vaping in the toilets on Instagram
Speaker 2: at halftime.
Speaker 1: Put it on his Instagram story, not the halftime vapes.
Speaker 1: It's like what, it's just massive own goals.
Speaker 2: Also, if you're doing double at speed limit past the
Speaker 2: school in a car you've just been given.
Speaker 1: Ah, that's out the gate. All right, let's take one
Speaker 1: last quick break when we come back. Dia is coming
Speaker 1: off the back fence.
Speaker 3: A long kicker the offload to head on and he
Speaker 3: got the back fence foof time.
Speaker 2: Do you know when it's darkest? Do you know when
Speaker 2: it's coldest? Do you know when the ice forms on
Speaker 2: the grass just before dawn? That's when? And do you
Speaker 2: know a blessing? I learned unlesson I learned way way
Speaker 2: back in the late nineties after a big night at
Speaker 2: the Fat Lady's Arms on dollar shot night, I learned
Speaker 2: that it's crucial to pull out. Always pull out, pull back,
Speaker 2: pull out, and look at the worldview. Don't judge this game,
Speaker 2: on this game, don't judge the Warriors by a sixty
Speaker 2: six to six loss. Pull out. Look at all the
Speaker 2: glory that we've had. Look at the fresh green shoots
Speaker 2: that are punching, punching through the winter soil. Look at
Speaker 2: the boys. We've got a new South Wales Cup coming up.
Speaker 2: Look at the herald g Mets boys, look at the
Speaker 2: under fifteens. If you look, we've got the stocks. We're
Speaker 2: gonna make the run. It might not be this year,
Speaker 2: it might not be next year, or it could be
Speaker 2: next year. You've gotta realize the moldy horror that these
Speaker 2: boys have. The Warriors Woka. It's paddling its way across
Speaker 2: to Australia and it will lift the Grand Final. Now
Speaker 2: is not the time to get off the bandwagon. Now
Speaker 2: is the time to get new tires. Now is the
Speaker 2: time to click the seatbelt, and now is the time
Speaker 2: to solidify yourself as a rusted on wise fan, because
Speaker 2: we are coming baby. When it is darkest, that is
Speaker 2: when we will rise like the phoenix, definitely not the
Speaker 2: word the Wellington Phoenix, absolute socker of a season. Will
Speaker 2: rise like the traditional phoenix, and the other teams will
Speaker 2: just see our glorious wings flapping towards the sumber. We
Speaker 2: won't fly too close like a chorus with those wax wings,
Speaker 2: and we will not fall. We will get the trophy.
Speaker 2: We will hold it above our heads and I want
Speaker 2: you to be there, Warriors fans, you note bring it
Speaker 2: on for the Brisbane Broncos. As we defeat them, am
Speaker 2: I saying thirteen plus? Yes I am. Will it happen
Speaker 2: most likely? Pack the boys and we'll see you this weekend.
Speaker 2: Told her.
Speaker 1: That in the sheds, play that in the sheds. Web
Speaker 1: play there in the sheds this week. Get the boys
Speaker 1: back up. I'm back on boyd Die. Thank you very
Speaker 1: much for that.
