1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: By the way, Melbourne the new NRL leader, Ladder leaders, 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Brisbane's hopes of a top four finished dash, the storm 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: one sided record against the Broncos. This all happened last night. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Just bringing you up to speed storm on storm on 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: thirty six Raiders thirty six Bulldogs thirty four Warriors thirty 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: which brings us, of course to this weekend. We play 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: the Bulldogs and we have not beaten a top side, 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: and in that surely is a problem. Monty beat them 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: with on this Monty Morning. 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike. How you've been going watching the Warriors? 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: Haven't too much from your lounge of late. 12 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: The You raise a very sensitive topic here, Monty. I 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: don't like being filmed because people make fun of me. 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 2: Oh mate, I love the passion, mate, and I love 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: the great supporters of the great game and the Warriors. 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: So I do miss it. I do missing it. 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'll talk to the videographer and see what 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: we can do this weekend. Anyway, back to the serious business. 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: Do you worry we've not beaten a really good sign. 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: Look, I think across the board there's a few teams 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: in a similar position, but used in saying that, you 22 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: know when you think of the great year we had 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: previous too, this wee can come in terms of the 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Warriors that they probably should have had a top four 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: spot locked them, but now especially the last two home 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: games against teams was the run that most deemed the 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: easiest run coming in out of the top four teams 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: top four side. So this one as a game. You though, 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: they played the Bulldogs twice last year and lost the 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: last time had of course they did in the lost 31 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: by just the one point. So it's going to be 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: a great game. And the boys been in a mini 33 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: camp since Wednesday, the top thirty players over there and 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: we beat loves it in terms of the boys getting connected, 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: getting close and really plotting the downfall of the opposition. Good. 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: So is it two in a row and this will 37 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: freak them out? Or is it two in a row 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Warriors of old we come back and do something spectacular. 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: Well, I think if you look at the experts and 40 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: what they're particularly on other side of the tatment, because 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: the Warriors are yet to lose three in a row 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: this year, they're thinking that's going to be the case 43 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: that they're going to come back from to to down. 44 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: Not wanting to lose three and show what they're built 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: with adversity behind them, you know. But you know, with 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: some of the likes of potentially James Fish Harris coming in, 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: I think that's the leadership that you'd want. He's pushing 48 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: to play from what I'm hearing, but it's whether he's 49 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: available or not. Last week we had three guys that 50 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: were in under nineteen side in twenty twenty three, so 51 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 2: it's next man up mentality, but it's been quite young. 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: But in saying that, they should have got the result 53 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: last week, so a lack of motivation this week against 54 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: a very good Bulldog side who had a month of 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: winning before getting their pants pulled down by a Tiger 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: side and the wed over there, so they'll be looking 57 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: to bounce back as well, which makes us probably the 58 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: best clash of the round, having two teams wanted to 59 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: vive for a high position in their top four and 60 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: cementthy chances. 61 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more So if we win this week in 62 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: the tool line, isn't it because the rest of the 63 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: ways relatively should be relatively easy. 64 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, by the time the boys take the field, they're 65 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: going to know how the other games have panned out 66 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: before them, so they've been a really good situation. Not 67 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: that they'll be looking at that and they want to 68 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: get a result regardless. But you know, I think if 69 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: the Warriors win three from the last five, they're a 70 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: realistic chance of being in the top four. Four will 71 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: cement their place in the top four. And depending on 72 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: what happens with these other games coming out prior to this, 73 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: you know, the powers in your own hands. You've got 74 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: to win your matches, but with see other games and 75 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: other teams who aren't fancied, they often get up this 76 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: time of year. 77 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: MIC they do, all right, mate, Go well Monty Beatham. 78 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: Good to catch up with the former Warriors captain of course, 79 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: an all round good guy in the league legion. 80 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 81 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: news talks they'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 82 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
