That's kind of why I want 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: to do it. But anyway, we're not here to talk 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: about Olympic tatoos. Were here to talk about the wires 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and they got up twenty eight sixteen over the Tigers. 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: You and I commentated this one being are we the 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: headlines this week? Of all the comments on social media 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: and that have been like, oh jeez, relaxive R and 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: you beat the wooden Spooners. But I actually I don't 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: see it that way. I'm more excited about it than 40 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: I think those commenters are. 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: Well, look, you know we went down by sixty points 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: to the Titans. Who are I think second to last. 43 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: So you know, you've got to take the wins. You've 44 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: got to enjoy the wins. And yeah, as you say, 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: we commentated it, and it was a pretty scrappy game 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: and not necessarily the prettiest win that the Warriors have 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: ever had, but we'll take the two all day. 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I've got to be honest, despite how scrappy 49 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: it was, twenty eight to sixteen is sort of the 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: score line that you would have predicted for this game. 51 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: And I think it was just that there were massive 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: stretches where it looked really messy. Then we let in 53 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: a few sort of soft tries. But like I was 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: saying heading into the game, all I wanted was for 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: the Warriors to win this one and then just for 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: us to have a week of a Warrior's win, you 57 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like just because let's be real, 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: we've got to win every game now from here on 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: out to the end of the season to make the playoffs. 60 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: So let's just enjoy this week and knock it to 61 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves because the dark times are coming. 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: Oh. Look, I've had lots of great street manner in 63 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: the last couple of days from people who listen to 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: our commentary, and you know, people just saying, you know, 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: all it is is knowing more in a row, and 66 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: that's you know, let's live in hope for a week. 67 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. This is a very specific bubble of 68 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: hope that we're in for the next five or so days. 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: So just enjoy it. We're standing at the bottom of Everest. 70 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: We've taken about half a dozen steps up and there's 71 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: and there's a lot more to do, but yeah, let's 72 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: just enjoy it while it's here. 73 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we're talking about it in the commentary. If 74 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you didn't listen, you know that we are standing at 75 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: the bottom of Everest. As you said earlier, we need 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: to climb it. Ten games in a row, we need 77 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: to win, and look, that does seem unlikely, but if 78 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: it's going to happen, it has to start with a win. 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened on the weekend. So we 80 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: need to really just take that one, don't we as 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: a country, and just really really basking it. And you know, 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure away from the fact that yet we're 83 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: going to need the oxygen tank very very shortly. But 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: as it stands right now, we're full of hope and optimism. 85 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, can we get any Nepalese players into the side. 86 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: You know that seemed to help ed Hillary is he had, like, 87 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: you know, probably the most famous Nipalese person ever with him. 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe maybe that's an untapped market. The Catman 89 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: do rugby league scene. I'm not sure how healthy it is. 90 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Well, if they came down to sea level, you know, 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: their voto capacity would just be through the roof. If 92 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: I ever told you my Edmund Hillary. 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: Story, No, but let's let's do that right now. 94 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Okay, my stepmother is a chef and back in the 95 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: day she worked in restaurants in christ Church and one 96 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: day Edmund Hillary came through and she got to cook 97 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: for him. And so when she was finished cooking the meal, 98 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: she said to the you know whoever, the waiter or whatever, 99 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to take this one out to eat if 100 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: I could. So she takes it out to him, this meal, 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: and she takes a five dollar note with her and 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: a pin and she gets Edmund Hillary to sign a 103 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: five dollar note. And her mother was staying with her 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: this weekend, so she took the five dollar note home, 105 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: showed everyone, put it on the table. She goes back 106 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: to work. Day. After she comes back, it must have 107 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: been like a Sunday or something. The five dollar note's 108 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: gone and she goes, mom, have you seen that five 109 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: dollar note that I left on the table. She goes, oh, yeah, 110 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: I put that into the pokes last night. 111 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: So somewhere in circulation there is a probably at the 113 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: christ Church Casino, there is a five dollars signed Edmund 114 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: Hillary note. 115 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, there's not too many other people that 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: can sign the notes. I mean, obviously Queen Elizabeth could 117 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: have at the time, but everyone else is dead. So yeah, 118 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: that's pretty rare. That is pretty rare. 119 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: With doesn't even win either, don't even have to feature, you. 120 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: Know, look, just to slightly get back into rugby league, 121 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: no excuses. But there was a late try there to 122 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 2: the Tigers, which probably made the score line slightly flattering. 123 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: And the other the other thing I would say is 124 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: that back line had only two players in it that 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: are probably first choice players of position. 126 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Were ours our Yeah, oh, speaking of that one player 127 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: that was playing at a position though, hey, Roger looks phenomenal, 128 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: didn't he did? 129 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: He really? Did? You know? We've got two first class 130 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: fullbacks and whatever. You do with them. You can't have 131 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: two fullbacks, so someone's going to be playing out a position, 132 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: and weirdly, the combination that seemed to work best was 133 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: when Chance went into number six. 134 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: I know it's just, but it's been so weaby to 135 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: just stick with the players that he's got. He said 136 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: from the start, you know, Chance is our fullback and 137 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: he's not going to waiver from that. He doesn't waver 138 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: from any of the decisions that he makes. You know, 139 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: he sticks with them, even right down to the to 140 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: the reserves, which we'll get into it in a second. 141 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: But there's been a lot of talk this week, as 142 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: it has all season, Roger has to be our starting fullback. 143 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: And I've got to be honest, I'm in that camp. 144 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: I think Roger has to be our starting fullback. And 145 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: I know everyone says old than what about Chance. I 146 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: don't know. I think we need to figure that part out, 147 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: but I think Roger has to be our fullback both 148 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: defensively and offensively. He was excellent. 149 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: So here's what you do. You put Chance back into 150 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: six and Chanel Harris Devita into the fourteen. Jersy coming 151 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: off the bench. He had a vastly improved game, by 152 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: the way. Yeah, ninety eight points on super Coach, of 153 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: which he has certainly not achieved any other time this season. 154 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. Yeah, Roger had a few great runs. Obviously, 155 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: the two try saving I don't know if they tackles 156 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: or got to the ball first sort of situation. I 157 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: just think, I don't know, particularly if we drop one 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: of these next few games and then our season is over, 159 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: we can't make the eight anymore. Just give us something 160 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: to cheer for, you know. And I think Roger at 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: fallback is that. But like I said, he sticks with 162 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: his decisions and he doesn't play. How many games this 163 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: season have we seen where we've only played like three 164 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: subs and one dude's just sat on the bench entire game. 165 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Diver was in the group chat straight after the game 166 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: on Saturday morning morning, pouring over stats, and he said 167 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: that Liquor Halasima only played eight minutes and Jazz only 168 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: played seventeen. 169 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: Now. 170 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: I know Jazz is coming off a hamstring injury, which 171 00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: I asked him about last week, But why, why, why 172 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: does where we stick with these They seem bizarre, don't they? 173 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: The rotations, I mean, I think the most damaging injury 174 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: in all of sort of Warriors law. Is your broken 175 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: heart that that Jazz caused you when you asked him 176 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: about that fake injury. 177 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: The thing is, and I've addressed it. I've addressed it 178 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: since then. I think I'll come to terms with it. 179 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: The thing is that I commentated all those fucking games 180 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: that he played like this. What it was was I 181 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: over prepared. They swapped the guests at the last minute, 182 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: and I did. I did bump into the girl that 183 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: looks after the partnerships with the Warriors, so she's our 184 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: contact there, and she goes, I said, oh, did you 185 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: see that video? She goes, yeah, I approved it. I said, 186 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: I sort of wish you didn't. I said, if it 187 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: makes fee any better, I've lost a lot of sleep 188 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: this week, she said, so have I. 189 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: So look, I know we're getting on very off track. 190 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: But a few years ago I interviewed members of the 191 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: rock band Weezer, including the leitza at Rivers Como and 192 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: the keyboardist in bass player Scott someone I can't remember 193 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: his last name anyway. I said to him, so, Scott, 194 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: you've only been in the band for the last three 195 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: albums and he went no, And I went, oh, sorry, 196 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: four albums. He went no, and I went the other 197 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: way and went two albums and he went five albums. Oh. 198 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: Look, while we're off in the weeds, I had celebrity 199 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: shift Josh Emmitt come into the studio one day when 200 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: I was on Hodak. You had no idea who he was, 201 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: and he'd made a yogurt for skin cancer and that 202 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: was all the information I had. And he walked there 203 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: and he said and I was like, so, like, do 204 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: you put it on your skin or do you eat it? 205 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Like what's the go And he goes, well, no, you 206 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: eat it. And I said, so have you what's your 207 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: experience of skincareer He's like, no, I don't. I haven't 208 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: had any. I was like, I could not figure out 209 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: in real time who this guy was or why he 210 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: had a yogurt. And it wasn't until he walked out 211 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: in someone went is a celebrity chef and it's a fundraisers. 212 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: Like, oh, okay, look, you can tell that this was 213 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: not necessarily the most exciting game in rugby league that 214 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: we've ever witnessed. Because we've covered Edmund, Hillary Weezer, and 215 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: Josh Emmont so far on this podcast. But look, just 216 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: to slightly wrap things up, Yeah, it is weird that 217 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: Web's use of the bench. He has been weird all season. 218 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 2: And look, I'm not sure who's coming back from injuries 219 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: next week, but it seems to be just an ever 220 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: increasingly difficult puzzle to solve. 221 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's out of control. Our injury waters 222 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. So the team that they named tomorrow tomorrow 223 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: will be very interesting to check out. Just quickly before 224 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: we do go to a break, how do you think 225 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: we'll go against the Eels this weekend? It's Friday night 226 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: game again. 227 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: Well, the Eels have had a very similar season to us. Like, 228 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: you know, if you look at the Eels team on paper, 229 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: it looks incredible, and you know, at times they've played 230 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: some great football, and you know, two seasons ago they 231 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: were in the Grand Final, so they've kind of been 232 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: relatively unlucky a little bit like there are. So I 233 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: actually think it's a really good matchup. I'd love to 234 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: take those two points, but unfortunately I see a close 235 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: loss in our future. 236 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: Sad And so all right, we're going to take one 237 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: quick break just before we do the four and twenty 238 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: four pack price pack each month the Mad Monday team 239 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: of giving away four tickets to Warriors games and four 240 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: and twenty five vouches. If you want to enter that, 241 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: just text the monthly keyword to three two three six. 242 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: Just a couple of days left in this month, and 243 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: the text keyword is spit, So text spit to three 244 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: two three six to be in to win. We'll be 245 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: right back all right now it is time for the 246 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Stonker of the ram and the Stalker of the round 247 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: ended up being a bit of a blow up, but 248 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: we're decided by halftime in this game that this was 249 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: already going to be the stonker and it was the 250 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: Broncos the Bulldogs. Over the weekend, that game was out 251 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: of control basically from the outset and throughout that game 252 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: forty one points to sixteen in the end in favor 253 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: of the Bulldogs, basically putting a line through the Broncos. 254 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: But being that game was just end to end, from 255 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: whistle to whistle, was it. 256 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, So the commentary kept talking about the fact that 257 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: it was a real strategic move to move the ball 258 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: wide by the Dogs because apparently the Broncos bunch up 259 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 2: on defense early in the early in the tackle count 260 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: and I just love that. I love that there's that 261 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: level of strategy going into these games and it really worked. 262 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: And there were times there was comparisons to late nineties 263 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: canber Raiders sides and things like that, like the Dogs 264 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: were just playing fantastic looking football and yeah, they look 265 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: are there? Are they a real chance this year? That's 266 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: what we're gonna ask us about the Dogs. 267 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: Well, we do, because if you look at the table 268 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: so far, the Dogs of War, they are on twenty 269 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: six points. They are in fifth, so they're just a 270 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: shade outside of the top eight. Broncos all the way 271 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: down in thirteenth. I still thought that the Broncos were 272 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: going to win this. I think partly because of you know, 273 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: recency bias from watching them last year, partly because the 274 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: TB had them as favorites, partly because I didn't believe 275 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: in this Bulldogs team. But then what I watched on 276 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: the weekend was the team that was just like, fuck it, 277 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: we're going to have a crack. They sort of played 278 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: like the Fiji and Drew and Rugby Union with it. 279 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: It's like we're going to run this from everywhere, whether 280 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: it's a coach killer or not. And obviously it wasn't 281 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: because Sereraldo was, you know, saying at halftime that's exactly 282 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: what they wanted to do. And what it did was 283 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: it forced the Broncos into trying that shit as well. 284 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: They had to because all of the stuff was being 285 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: thrown at them. Bronson Sherry was doing chip and chases 286 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: that fell a skeleton out on the and on the 287 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: right wing was causing absolute mayhem. And then all of 288 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Broncos got sucked into a game that 289 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: that wasn't really their game. They had that chip and 290 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: chase with Catoni Stags that was incredible where he ran 291 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: the link basically the length of the field off like 292 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: the third or fourth kick. Reece Walsh kicked the forty 293 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: twenty from about thirty meters out. It was just incredible. 294 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: But I think it just I think they hurried the 295 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: Broncos up a little bit, and I think that teams 296 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: sort of take on the personality of their best player, 297 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: and the Broncos' best player is Reece Walsh, and he 298 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: is prone to doing his nut every now and then. 299 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, he'll lose his head from time to time, 300 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: and I think hurrying them up, they sort of showed 301 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: the blueprint there. Not that the team in thirteenth needs 302 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: a blueprint to beat them, but I just think that 303 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: it really dictated the way that they're going to play. 304 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I would love to see the Warriors player a bit 305 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: more like that. Just have a crack. 306 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's what the That's what they used to be 307 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: known for, right, the Warriors. But you know, like moving 308 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: the ball and big physical presence and yeah, I certainly 309 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: haven't seen much of that this yet. But what has 310 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: happened to the Broncos? Like, I know there's very little 311 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: sympathy amongst our mad Monday Crow for the Broncos, but 312 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: it's just something to be said that they're like slightly 313 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: unfairly disadvantage because of the origin period, Like it's not 314 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: only the weeks that the games are and yes they 315 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: do get by rounds because of the split rounds during 316 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: those weeks, but it's the week before and it's the 317 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: week after as well. So I don't know, is that 318 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: that they lose you know, six seven players. 319 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, potentially you could argue that because the Cowboys have 320 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: been in the worst position of being not that great 321 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: despite being in the top eight, but also losing a 322 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: lot of players to Origin, so they've had a bit 323 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: of a dip to But then what would you do, 324 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: like not not let their players play in Origin. 325 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: I honestly don't have the solution, but it is, yeah, 326 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 2: it does. It's sort of it started with Origin, didn't it. 327 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 2: The Bronco slide and also you know, and some key 328 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: injuries as well, but they've never recovered and I think 329 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 2: their season's over there. 330 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: Well, I would say that they've had again a similar 331 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: season to the Warriors, who were great last year, and 332 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: then for just various minor little reasons, haven't fulfilled their 333 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: potential this year. I won't make you guess I was 334 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: going to, but I won't. Their points differential the Broncos 335 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: is exactly zero, so that, yeah, they're the only team 336 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: in the camp with exactly zero's the points stuff, So 337 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: it's obviously they're not actually that bad. They just haven't 338 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: been able to finish those games, very similar to the Warriors. 339 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: Ours is only negative twenty two, isn't it? It is just 340 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 2: which is bagger all across you know, nineteen games or whatever. 341 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: No, exactly the teams above us, the Knights minus ninety seven, 342 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: the Dragons minus ninety two, the Raiders minus seventy one. 343 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: But unfortunately it's very tough for the Warriors because of 344 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: the draw and obviously the ten losses. But we're on 345 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: twenty one competition points so far. You've got to be 346 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: on twenty four this round to be in the top eight, 347 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: and so the best we can do if we win 348 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: this weekend, the best we can do is leap frog 349 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: the Knights, which puts us into eleventh position. So it 350 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: is a very very steep climb to base camp for 351 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: the Wires going forward. Not really too many surprises in 352 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: the top eight as we look at it. I think 353 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are probably the only one that surprises me 354 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: in there at the moment. 355 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've had a couple of close wins in the 356 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 2: last two weeks which have kept them in there. I 357 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: mean they were I think they were unbeaten up to 358 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: four rounds and then had a massive dip and yeah, 359 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: but there were a couple of blowouts on Sunday, Whilch 360 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 2: just show how good Penrith is by the. 361 00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: Way, Oh my god. Yeah, absolutely, the Storm still on first, 362 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: Panthers and second, but arguably the best team in the 363 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: comp at the moment. Rooster's Shark's still in top four, 364 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: which I find just because Nico has been out a 365 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: little bit. Surprising Dogs, Cowboys, Seagulls, Dolphins and a long 366 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: way back the Warriors in twelfth. All right, we're gonna 367 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: take one more quick break. When we come back, it's 368 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: time for another episode of Hurley's Heroes. Right now, It's 369 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: time for Hurley's Heroes. 370 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: Okay, welcome to Hurley's Heroes. And I've gone with a 371 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: French theme this week because, of course the Paris Olympics 372 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: going on at the moment. Rugby league not featured in 373 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: the Olympics. But of course France is a proud rugby 374 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: league nation. I think they've been at every single Rugby 375 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: League World Cup. They don't necessarily do that well, but 376 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 2: they do have a professional team, the Catalan Dragons, that 377 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: play in the Super League, so you know, arguably a 378 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: little similar to New Zealand, and they've got one professional team. 379 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: So what I thought i'd do today is talk about 380 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 2: a French player who's played in the NRL. I was 381 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: born in Nabon, France. I played over three hundred games 382 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: for the Catalan Dragons and twenty five tests for France, 383 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: many as captain, but also twelve games for the Sydney 384 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: Roosters in the twenty fourteen season, and I scored two tries. 385 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: I play front row or edge ford and I am 386 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: the current assistant coach for the Toulouse Olympic team. Am 387 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: I number one? Dimitri Pello, two Bevan French? Three Remi 388 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: Casti for Jerome Gasse or number five Lee where we 389 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: didn't Raian. 390 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Ah three hundred games for the Catalan Dragons, that's incredible 391 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: and twenty five tests for France. It's funny when NRL 392 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: players just pop up over there there in that French competition. 393 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm all at sea. I don't think 394 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: it's Leeui We than Ryan Bevan French seems too obvious. 395 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: So now I'm down to Dimitri, Remy and Jerome. I'm 396 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: going to I cannot remember a man playing for the 397 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen Roosters that fits that description. I will go. 398 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: Remy Gusty, Well, you've got a bang on the on 399 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: the head there, well done. Yes, there's actually a bit 400 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 2: of a tradition between France and the Roosters. I think 401 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: the only connection I can see is that they have 402 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: the same logo, A Rooster. But there's been a couple 403 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 2: of players that have played for France and for Sydney City. 404 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 2: But of those other ones on the Dmitriy Pillow played 405 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: five games I think for the Dragons and Jerome. See, 406 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: he played a handful of games for Canberra Bevan French. 407 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: I just threw that at one in there for a laugh. 408 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: He's indigenous Australian, so he's got nothing to do with 409 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: France whatsoever. But yeah, no, Remy Castein's one of the 410 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: greats of French rugby league. 411 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: Actually yeah, it was just an absolute out now, I 412 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: guess from me, But yeah, three hundred games of Calin 413 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: and Dragon's powerful, powerful stuff in. 414 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 2: Two stints, so he played like one hundred and forty games, 415 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 2: then came and did that one season at the Roosters 416 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: and obviously didn't play the whole season because he only 417 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: played twelve games, and then went back and played another 418 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty odd games for Catlan. 419 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: Rugby league legend in France. I guess if you were 420 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: going to come over from France, the only place you'd 421 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: want to players in BONDI to be fair, only place 422 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: you'd want to love at least just before we go. 423 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: There was a post that went out this morning that 424 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: really caught my eye that I wanted to discuss, and 425 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: that was from the Warrior's actual Instagram page, and it's 426 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: a photo of Narni Mappy with the quote I came 427 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: back and watched Captain's run and it definitely lit a 428 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: little fire to finish off what I started. So we'll 429 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: never know what will happen. Hopefully my agent can get 430 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: some stuff sorted. I'd like to come back now. Usually 431 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: where there's smoke this fire, but if the club itself 432 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: is posting. 433 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: This, yeah, that's I think that's a pretty good indication 434 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: that he's on his way. 435 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously could always do with some more players. But 436 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Narne lo MAPI, what are the all time hard done 437 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 1: by by the All Blacks sort of players? You know? 438 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: I think he was basically basically told you're probably not 439 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: going to be you know, you'll be in and out 440 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: of the team for the rest of your career. So 441 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: he's like, bugger, I'm going to go over to France 442 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: and make millions And now, I don't know. Do you 443 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: think that players are still coming back because of the 444 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: success from last year, like James Fisher Harris and the 445 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: players that we've been able to get. 446 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 2: I think there's something to be said for that. But 447 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: I also just think, you know, we play in front 448 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: of sold out crowds every single week, and you know what, 449 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: are we fourteenth on the table? You know? I just think, 450 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: no matter what the results are this year, we are 451 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: still riding high on that very good season, and I think, yeah, 452 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 2: the Warriors brand is still on the app despite you know, 453 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: this less than successful season so far. 454 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: And just finally before we knocked this thing on the head, 455 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, I went down and watched our very own 456 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: notorious pants band, Joel Harrison playing for the Mount Albert 457 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: mad Dogs. They played against the Seattle two Roosters and 458 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: they won. Did you see the video of the Pantsman 459 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: getting up to score a try? 460 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 2: No? But I have talked to Pantsman quite a lot 461 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: about that competition, and let's just say, there's no bunker 462 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: and so there's there's a lot of a lot of 463 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 2: physical stuff that goes unseen by the reef in that 464 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: comp So he's a proper hard man. Is the is 465 00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: the pants Man? 466 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, he well he's about six foot seven. He 467 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: latched onto a bomb and just dotted down for a 468 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: try there ended up blowing out the Chatter two roosters 469 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: and then they're into the final next week. Pants Man's 470 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: buggering off to Europe with the family, though for a 471 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: holiday for like six weeks.
