WEBVTT - “Car/Singer/P*rnstar” 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.200 Hello, good afternoon, and welcome back to the Mad Monday podcast, 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.720 as always brought to you by four and twenty pis 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.320 perfect at home snack for watching rugby league. My name 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:22.119 is Tena fasuamn Iowi and Welcoming back from Nippon is 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.840 been holy sun? How was it over there, mate? 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:31.120 Oh, Hio gonzonas it was. It's amazing, isn't it. I 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.360 didn't find a lot of league though, not a big 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.680 league country, na, really, I mean when I was over there, 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.960 we did lose both sixty points to the Titans that 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.760 I was watching on a Dodgy VPN. So I decided 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.400 to get heavily into Japanese baseball. I'm now a massive 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.040 fan of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.320 That's a good Tian though your cult gut health swallowing. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.520 Yeah, amazing that it's that big. Do they own a 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.319 baseball team over there? And it's actually, like, I think, 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:01.760 the second best league in the world. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.400 Yeah, I think basically more or less being colonized by 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.960 the USA and the fifties will probably do that to 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:10.360 a country, won't it. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.960 Yeah, that's right. No. I had a wonderful time, but 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:19.200 I arrived back overnight on Saturday morning and was around 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.000 to see a Fantesta come back when by the. 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.160 Ways, yeah, well let's start right there as well. The 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.920 Warriors beat the Broncos thirty two points to sixteen. Before 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.600 we get into whether we're back, what to read it 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.520 into this, I had a friend who was at the game, 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.400 and he honestly was so nervous of ten minutes left 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.440 he left. He couldn't watch it anymore. He was like, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.080 that gonna because I think the Broncos scored with about 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.120 maybe fifteen to twenty minutes, ten minutes left to go. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.000 He left because he just couldn't watch it anymore. And 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.720 as he was leaving the ground, he heard a massive 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.960 cheeres I see, this is why I've left. I can't 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.520 watch this, And it was Roger tivasishek scoring, my. 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.240 Friend, are you talking about g Lane? So he left 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.920 and we and we won? Is that what we're talking about? 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.520 It wasn't the fuck it It could be delayed for 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.520 the purposes of the story. We can play it all. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.840 And the cheer was not Roger scoring. It was Glane 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.919 leaving the ground, the grim Lane leaving the ground. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.000 The Grimline curses left. Yeah, but I think more than 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.919 just the fact that we won, it was how we won. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.040 We looked good. We didn't do all the dumb shit 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.920 that we've done over the last few weeks. Do we 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.560 Am I reading too far under this? Are the Warriors back. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.840 Ben look obviously massive caveat six players out to Origin, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.320 But the Broncos are not. They're going through a real 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.400 mid season slump. And it isn't just Origin because they've 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.360 had times when they've had all those players back, and 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.240 I think we've lost five out of the last six, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:39.760 is that right? 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.000 Yeah, they're on a massive skid. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000 Yeah, so I mean so a little bit of a 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.520 caveat there. We are betting a sliding team and they 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.520 didn't have all their stars, but yeah, they just sort 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.160 of did all the things that we did wrong in 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.400 the week before and just coughed up piece of ball 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.119 and missed lots of tackles. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.360 Yeah they did, but they Yeah, And I get you know, 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.080 no res Welsh, no pain, hass this and that. But 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.480 I do think, you know, we just got towed up 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.280 by sixty points the week before. You know, we've got it. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.000 We had our own issues to deal with. We had 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.440 a couple of players out to Origin as well. It 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.160 was just again like I said before, it was just 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.520 the way that we the way that we played, not 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.480 so much the score line, the fact that we won 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.600 who our position was. We didn't beat ourselves like we 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.040 have done so many weeks before. We do a gambling 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.480 show on Fridays on the ACC with the TB. They 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.600 had all these stats around. No team that gets wasted 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.520 by sixty points has ever conceded more than X amount 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.920 of points, you know that always bounce back. And I 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.120 was like, we would. It would be so worrious to 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.560 be an exemption to that rule, like to be the 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.960 first team to turn around and get smashed again after that. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.120 Wasn't that last year that the Tigers, who were absolutely 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.960 woeful last year, didn't they towel up like Cranella or 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.960 the Storm or someone last year by fifty points that 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.160 was kind of their only win. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.160 Yeah, and the year before that the Tigers as well, 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.760 they beat the Panthers, And it was like yeah, and 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.360 I made a lot of money off that because I 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:10.800 was like, I just I don't know what it is. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.080 It's one of those ones that we do as the Warriors, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.160 and I was I could see it for the Tigers. Yeah, 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.360 but I was just like, I have my fingers crossed 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.440 that we weren't going to be the first team to 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.279 prove those rules wrong. I don't know the no team's 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.479 ever wanted after fifty points is a little bit sort 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.240 of hanging over me a little bit. I thought that 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.760 our halves looked excellent, didn't they? Tomati, Martin and c 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.240 ht looked tremendous. They scored almost all of our points. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.360 Are we going to talk about it? Are we going 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.400 to talk about the common factor here? Because you know, 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.360 a certain person came out during the week and said, yeah, 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.200 he reads the comments and he sees that the people 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.039 have made a very lazy comparison and put three and 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:00.520 three together. We've all done it. I I don't want 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.359 to talk about it, but I feel like we need to. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.680 I don't want to talk about it either, but I 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.880 agree with you. The only thing I would say is 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.240 I'm always coming on this podcast saying do what your 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.599 opponent doesn't want you to do. And if I'm playing 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.120 against the Warriors later on the season, I'd be like, God, 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.080 I have they get too carried away and don't play 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.480 Seawan Johnson against us. You know he's still Seawn Johnson. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.919 He's still our best half. He is still the twenty 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.920 twenty three in my mind at least deliim player of 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.880 the year. He was robbed by the judges. But I 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.520 do kind of think if you want to sit there 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.560 and say our record without him versus our record with him, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.280 I can't argue against it, you know. But by the 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.560 same token, I do think he's too hearty for his 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.000 own gird. He's been playing banged up and once he's 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.560 healthy and ready to go again, he needs to be 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.800 in there. I just, jeez, mighty, Martin look good to me. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.680 Yeah, I think these two factor is here. If we're 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.839 going to talk at purely on analytics, I think I 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.760 think that that halves pairing is better defensively without Sean 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.839 at the moment, who is harboring an injury. And also 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.720 because of their injury, it takes the option of him 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.080 running at the line almost completely out of it, so 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.440 that the opposition knows he's eyre going to pass or 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.360 kick and there's no, he's not going to and he's 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.120 not going to do that on tackles wonder four. Yeah, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.359 he's not going to kick on tackles under four. So 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.279 it does make a little bit predictable. And Tomato Martin, 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.919 he doesn't really break the line, but he helps others 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.120 do it. And and because he runs at the line occasionally, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.560 it does leave the you know, the defense guessing. So 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.400 I think those are two factors. Yeah, as long as 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.240 s J can come back fully fit, yeah I absolutely 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.080 have him back in there. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.560 I think the problem is it's saying this on the 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.440 on A podcast last week. Is it's why they have 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.279 thrown the towel in and boxing is because the boxer 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.400 himself knew were going to take himself out of the fight. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.599 He'll go in there with his arm, you know, hanging 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.320 on by a thread, even when he's just been rocked, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.520 he will just keep going back out there. That's why 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.760 the trainers in the corner need to throw on the 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.920 towel on behalf of a fighter. And I don't think 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.000 Sewan Johnson ever would have taken himself out. I think 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200 he came back too early from the injury he had 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.840 before the buy. And unfortunately it's in Web's DNA to 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.280 keep playing the same team over and over and over again. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.200 It doesn't like change. He thinks consistency is one of 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.840 our biggest strengths, and so I think that's what was 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.240 going on. That's what I'm going to chalk it up 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.480 to anyway. And I keep saying every time this, when 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.520 this happened last time, this is a good thing. You know, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.360 he's going to slop back in to Mighty Ccht, maybe 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.280 Chd's coming off the bench. They'll be a bit more empowered, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.480 you know, to take a bit more of the offensive 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.960 load back. I thought that that kick from Tomighty Martin 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.520 that dropped right onto Dw's court, it put it down. 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.280 I thought that is what's been missing for this whole season. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.640 D Allen looked excellent again this week than't there. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.120 Yeah, absolutely, I thought. And the Freddy Lussick try, which 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.000 I think was Mitch Barnett hits the line and just 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.200 a very simple offload LUSTI ran a good line. Those 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:15.360 two tries were clinical and yeah, and both close to 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.120 the line, which is something we've been missing. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.520 As you say, Yeah, there was a lot of that, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.280 a lot of the like sort of slot of hand 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.520 from Tomighty Martin and Cht around the line as well. 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.280 But it's funny you mentioned that Freddy Lussick try there 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.280 because we've got a bit of audio from Dye's call 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.560 from that from the weekend. It was outstanding. Have a 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.400 listen to this. But you see here Mitch Barnett the 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:40.360 wrap around, what an offload? Beautiful? How much mana? How 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.480 much mana was flowing out of that Honky, I love it. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.959 So after Freddy scored the try, throws the moneywave out 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.439 to the crowd and yeah, obviously Di absolutely loved it. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:56.520 Have we've been overlooking Freddy Lussick as a member of 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.480 the Ruthless park Our Boys because obviously we've got Mitch Barnett, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.040 Jack and forward. I've been saying for years that what 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.720 the Warriors were missing was the ruthless park Our Boys. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.640 I think that back and I think that Freddy Lasik 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.080 has to be one of them now surely. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.319 Yeah, he had a pretty good game. I think probably 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.720 what set him back a little this year was that 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.760 he went to reserve grade and murdered someone. So that 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.080 was a definite strike against him. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.000 Yeah, he did. He snap Lochlan Elissa's shin clean in half. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.960 We'll talk about it in New South Wales Cup down 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.719 the track as well, two of us as sick. He 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.520 scored a try. It was a relatively pedestrian try. He 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.760 wasn't like stepping anyone who just sort of ran into it. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.280 But do you reckon that's a good sign for RTS 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.520 going forward, just to get one, get one on the board. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.880 Sure, absolutely, I'm still not convinced about him anywhere but 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.920 fall back. But what are you going to do when 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:54.880 you've got arguably the best, certainly top three fullbacks in 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.320 the competition with John So you know, do you move him? Where? 0:09:58.320 --> 0:09:59.200 Do you put him here? 0:09:59.280 --> 0:09:59.400 Like? 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.880 Don't I But good good that he got he got 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.000 was that it wasn't his first try of the season 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:06.680 was No, he. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.720 Scored at least one that I remember, but it might 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.000 actually be a second. I'm sure some statisticianal pingus for 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.880 that one. Absolutely outstanding work from both the fans at 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.400 the ground with the signs and also the social media 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:20.839 team of the Warriors. I don't know if you saw 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.440 the sign that said hot two of us are share 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.520 can spin on that day. But then they also remixed 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.280 that video that went viral last night on the other 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:35.040 day on social media. They obviously don't have to check 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.880 anything with anyone do that social media team of the Warriors. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:43.240 It's pretty loose and I would say, they are still 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.839 doing some heavy editing from a Warrior's crowd. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.240 Yeah, yeah, I think I just feel like if you 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.760 work for any other media agency and you was like, yeah, 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.839 I'm going to put this out, we just would not 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.080 get past any approvals. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.679 Certainly not the All Blacks and probably not Black Caps. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.439 But yeah, Warriors, they know the offense. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.240 Yeah. Did you also where did you watch this game? 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.000 You watched this back here in New Zealand. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.599 Right, Yeah I did. Yeah, just I've only been in 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:12.680 the country a few hours. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.640 There was the Chanelle Harris Devita try where he dived 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.000 through just Beatkatony stags and got his hand to the 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.560 ball just before he did before Katoni did. While they 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.199 were showing the replay, I loved c ht's reaction to it. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.720 But even more than that, there was a girl standing 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.920 there in a Warrior's jersey with her boyfriend who was 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.000 in a Broncos jersey. Did you see that? And so 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.040 it was so they had the Bunker review, they had 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.280 c HT, and then they had that couple in one 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.360 corner as well. They're on the screen for about five 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.160 minutes and it was some of the best TV I've seen. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.719 He was absolutely hating it, waiting for the camera to 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.400 buger off, whereas she was loving him five minutes of 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.040 fame she was. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.160 She was certainly not shy with a bit of hip 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.800 thrust as well when the try was confirmed. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:59.400 Hmmm hmmm, I wouldn't. Yeah, I think that's gonna be 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.760 very interesting see how that played out for them afterwards 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.240 on the ride home. I reckon he would have been like, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.280 did you have to give it like quite that much 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:07.760 while we're on the camera or. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.120 You can just give did you have to like mind 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.520 actual pegging? That's that's for our private time, because. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.760 You know, our family group chat's going to blow up 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.560 after this, and Mum's going to be sending it through. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.079 I saw blah blah blah on the TV tonight, and 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.559 then my NaN's going to go and see that, and 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:24.480 she's gonna see it. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.719 Hey, you never know, Mum might go, I've been doing 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.680 it to your dad for years. I'm glad it runs 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.240 of the family. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.839 Yeah, Ma might go hocktol and spit on that thing. 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.400 Do you think we're reading too far into it to 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.280 say that the Warriors are back now? Is everyone back 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.199 on board the bandwagon? 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.839 I think this season not just for the Warriors, but 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.440 for every team almost bar the Storm, anyone can beat anybody. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:53.040 And it's the most bizarre nuts season I've seen in years. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.280 There's there's no rhyme nor reason. It's impossible to pack. Yeah, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.520 I'm I mean, I'm bad at tipping anyway, but I'm 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.280 having the worst tipping year I've ever had. And I'm fair, 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.559 I'm just auto tipping now because it's the computer's doing 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.040 better than me. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.920 Yeah, I am. In my fantasy team. I accidentally reversed 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.040 all of my trades and they forgot to update them, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.520 and my team did better than if I had have 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:18.480 made those trades. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.679 So you're right, Yeah, there's no back. I don't think 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.599 any team is back. And unfortunately, when it is this 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.160 even generally Melbourne wins the competition because they just are 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.520 that incredibly consistent side. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.959 Yeah, they have been despite all of the players that 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.760 are out. It's absolutely disastrous stuff for us. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.240 They just get new, they just get someone new every time. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.920 You just you know, Brian Peppenhausen's out, so they get 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.360 far alonger out of nowhere. Where did he come from? 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.880 Nick Meane did it a couple of years ago as well. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.959 It's like yeah, kills me. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.080 I can have infinite resources. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:56.320 Tyrone Wishart, Monster's out. Oh here's Tyrone Wishart. Oh really, 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:01.640 Tyrone Wishart. Okay, sure, Ali kats Off. He wasn't doing 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.839 that when he was with us, Anyway, I digress. I 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.880 think we'll put it to bed for that. I think 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.520 we're riding a high. I think I was saying before, like, yeah, 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.079 we had that massive loss. One more win and I 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.920 think the ship's going to be corrected a little bit. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.320 You know, you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.480 It's going to be tense run home. We crunched the 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.280 numbers last week about how many games we have to 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.560 win from here on out, and it's more or less. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.640 I think we can drop two between now and the 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.280 end of the season, and that's to guarantee ourselves making 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:33.680 the eight. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.320 But so big game against the fifth place Dogs this weekend. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.160 Yeah exactly. But I mean, if we were going to 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.120 do it, this is how it would start. It would 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.320 start with a thirty two to sixteen win over the Broncos. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.720 So I'm going to dare to believe we're going to 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.040 take a quick break. We're going to come back and 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.560 talk about those Bulldogs just before we do. The four 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.240 and twenty four pack Prize Pack is back each and 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.480 every month the Mad Monday Team giving away four tickets 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.480 to the next home game and for twenty pive vouchers 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.200 To enter, all we have to do is text the 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.840 monthly keyword to three two three six. We've just ticked 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.840 over a new month that means a new keyword. This 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:14.920 month's keyword is spit chixt spit to three two three six, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.400 and you will be in the drawer to win that. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.040 We're going to take quick break. We'll be right back 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.800 all right now. It is time for the Stalker of 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:29.000 the Round and it had to be the Bulldogs versus 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:33.200 the Sharks fifteen to fourteen. Matt Burton eventually selling this 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.440 one in Golden Point over time. It had to be 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.560 the Stalker of the Round. But it was quite low 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.840 scoring and I've gotta be honest with you, Ben, there 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.440 were eight field goal attempts in this game. And as 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.880 awesome as gold Golden Point is to win, it can 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.160 often devolve into just the worst shirt out you've ever 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.560 seen in your life. I know that there's not a 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.920 better way, and it is better than ending in a drawer, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.840 but man, they can turn into perslingers at the end 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.280 of those games sometimes, do you like the golden point? 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.040 Oh look, then you can get the other end of 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.400 the spectrum where you don't really have a drop goal 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.440 specialist in your team aka the Warriors. And then it 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.160 was that game against Manly which deaden up in a 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.680 drawer because neither side could slot one. And I don't 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.720 know that there were that many attempts, even I think 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.000 Davy Cherry Evans is good at it. Yeah, he couldn't 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.720 do it, and we have we had like notoriously bad 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:31.960 at it. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.120 We were lucky that we got penalized and then so 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.160 we did it off the teeth. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.760 Yeah that's right. I don't mind it. That is too 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.160 many though, Yeah, that's true. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.880 And I think like when you see the highlight the 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.480 next morning, and if you're just scrolling through your social 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.960 media and you see Matt Burtons snap off of you know, 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.640 thirty meter drop it looked way bigger than it actually was, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.600 You're like, holy shit, what a game. But when you 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:01.239 actually watched it, it was like, yeah, the end is exciting, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.879 but when you're just watching dudes potshot it. Man, there 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.399 was some slop. Brandon Trendle hit one that looked like 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.119 he was kicking with his wrong but he might have been, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.080 but it was so bad that it didn't it hit 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.800 the ground before the goal line, you know. So it 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.560 was one of those like anytime someone's doing a drop 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.600 kick and it comes out in a spiral, that fucked 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.480 it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's exactly what happened there. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.680 So yes, it was a stonker, But I just think 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.480 it was one of those ones where eight field colored 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.760 tents back to back to back to back to back 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.200 was a little bit growling. Do you think I reckon 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.240 we should go golden try? 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.960 Well, that would certainly suit the Warriors. I think we've 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.600 won in Golden Point twice ever with a drop goal. Yeah, 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.280 I think most of the time we score a try 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.359 or get a penalty. But let's talk about this game 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.960 and how difficult it was to pack as well, because 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:54.320 Cranella you can't pack week on week like they're either 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.520 the best side in the world or very much not. 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.160 And the Dogs, like, you know, they did that big 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.400 spend up, they recruited huge last season. It didn't work 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:09.080 for them last season, but this season it really has 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:15.080 been working. Including stealing one of our beloved ruthless Indigenous boys, 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.560 Josh Karen, who's having a huge season for them. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.480 Yeah, it's funny you mentioned Josh Curran. He has a 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.000 stat that will blow you away. From that game. The 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.719 Bulldogs went into that game with a six head gear advantage. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.720 They had six of their starting players were wearing head 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:34.399 gear to zero on the other team. They were Crichton, Marney, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.040 Josh Curran, Jacob Krrez was in the head gear, Blake Wilson, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.919 who was one of their wingers, and the weak gutted 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.800 Dog Jamn Salmon also donned the head gear for a 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.320 part of that game as well. I just think that 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.280 that's a big show of unity to show up with 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.879 that many that much headgear on, and also a signal 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.520 to their juniors that you know, CT is a real 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.240 thing and you're really going to be careful, careful about it. 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.480 But you're right. The team is built like a PlayStation team. 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.119 It's like he had a fantasy draft and you just 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.320 picked up all the players that you could. I mean, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.959 if we're forgetting the fox is in their team as well, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.360 it's been injured for so long, it's only a matter 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.480 of time before they all start going all right, I 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.560 would say though on the Cronulla, yes, they're hard to pick. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.320 They're about to play the Titans and then the Tigers, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.600 so there's a chance that they, you know, right the 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.040 ship a little bit and then carry on. They then 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.159 don't play another top eight team till the end of 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.840 the season. So the Sharks have a ridiculous schedule going forward. 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.159 Are they hard to pick? Because, dare I say it, 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:44.000 their talisman, playmaker and best player is a little hot 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.200 and cold. Mm. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.400 I think potentially he's hot for sure. 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:54.159 But even with bad teeth, he's certainly hot. But he 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.600 I think he proved in Origin that he you know, 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.399
