1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: Welcome along to the Mad Monday Podcast, brought to you

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: by four and twenty pis. It's the perfect at home

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: snack for watching rugby league. You got me here the

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Pantsman Joel Harrison and I'm joined with Ben Hurley.

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: Welcome Ben.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: How's it going great mate?

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 4: What a round of rugby league? You can definitely tell

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 4: it was post Origin. There was some big margins, but

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 4: none more so than the It was beating the Cows.

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was a great time.

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to join Die in the Export

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: B studio to commentate the game on Saturday night.

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: It was fun.

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: I feel like it was probably the most the most

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: well rounded Warriors performance of the yesfr.

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible. We talked about it. I commentated that Origin

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: game one and the Cowboys had more players involved in

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: Origin than any other single club. So I think we

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: counted seven because it was as a couple and obviously

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: there's most of them for the Maroons, but a couple

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: for the Blues as well. So most of those players

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 4: backed up, some of them coming off the bench. But

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: the Cows, even though they look great on paper, they

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: haven't had the best season so far anyway, and with

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 4: half their team, more than half their team playing having

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: played a very physical game of rugby league four days before.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 4: They definitely showed signs of fatigue. And you don't see

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 4: a team like that, you know, lose by thirty points

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: very often.

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially at home in North Queensland, which is normally

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: a pretty tough trip. I feel like Ruben Cotter, he's

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: normally one of the biggest impact of their team as well.

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: He made thirty two tackles in the first half and

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: after playing a grueling Origin game as well.

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: It would be pretty tough for that.

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: And then your likes of Val Holmes dead and they

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: didn't really fire to the Warriors. We were lucky for

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: that one. What did you reckon of, like Dylan Walker

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: moving into the Star lineup instead of Toho Harris.

40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, really interesting. I feel like I love to who Harris.

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: He is the mighty taught to and I won't have

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 4: a bad word said about him, but he's definitely slower

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: off the mark than he used to be. He gets

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: big post contact meters, but I yeah, I guess they're

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: just easing him back in right after his injury. And

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 4: Dylan Walker is he's just the fix it man. He

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: just goes wherever you need him.

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: He was so good and I think it was for

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Mitch Barnett's try. We're talking about it off here as well.

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: That was your your punt of the week last week

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: and it brought home about three hundred bucks to the

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: ACC kiddy. But yeah, just the way he straightens up

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: the ball in the middle, fed it to Marty Martin.

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: Then yeah, Martin just put Bunnett over it. It was

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: good to see Walker plane like that.

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was beautiful. And let's talk about Tomati Martin too,

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: because I think we saw the best of him finally

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: in the Warriors Jersey. He's just such a solid half.

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: He's not flashy, but he you don't what he's going

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 4: to do. And I think sometimes with SJ, you kind

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: of know he's not going to run at the line

62
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: this year. He did last year. This year he's had

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: that niggling injury. He's currently out with that injury. So

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: it does become a little bit predictable that he is

65
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: just gonna boot downfield or distribute. But with Tomighty, he

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: runs at the line, and so it just gives it

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: that little bit of extra jeopardy every time he's got the.

68
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Ball in his hand.

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: It's crazy because when Tomighty Martin has come to the

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Warriors for the last two years, he's sort of been

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: a bit injury prone and kind of been behind Metcalf.

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: He was good at started last year and he hasn't

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: really shown them in his last three weeks. He's almost

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: been like the standout seven and the competition and then Johnson,

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be back this week after

76
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: his peck injury. So would you bring him back into

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the LINEU would you leave him the bench?

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: No? I think you bring him back in and put

79
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: Tomighty back to Sex because unfortunately, and I'm a massive

80
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: fan of the man, but Chanel Harris Devita did not

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: have the best game obviously. He was ten in the

82
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: bin for arguably the most a schoolboy kind of childish

83
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: ball throw that Chad Townsend didn't even notice and he

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: got ten in the bin for it. The ball literally

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: hit him in the back of the head and he

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: didn't turn around, didn't say anything, and he gets ten

87
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: in the bin for it. But yeah, I mean, looking

88
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: at his super coach points, he played most of that

89
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: game and scored I think twenty six at super coach points,

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: So not a not a great full start for his

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: first start in a Warriors jersey in a couple of years.

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was probably one of the only Warriors who

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: didn't almost perform to their best ability in the weekend

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: as well. It was so good to see across the

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: park everyone was doing it. I feel like we're be

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: needs to find a way that he can get to

97
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: mighty in there at Sex, but also still give him

98
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: a bit.

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: More management as well. D you can, that's a doable thing.

100
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: I think probably what I hope is that given that

102
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: he's in some really good form, that Sean and him

103
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: will share that management bit better and it's not just

104
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: down to s J on the last play, you know,

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: on the fifth tackle every time that it could go

106
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: to either one because Tomoighty's kicking game pretty great as well.

107
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

108
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Die was having a field day on the commentary on

109
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the weekend with Chad Towns and he's saying he's the

110
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Chris Lily of the NRL. Well, it seems like there's

111
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: a bit of bad blood between him and the Warriors.

112
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: It really does, doesn't it.

113
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 3: There.

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he is an ex Warrior for those he

115
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: even caught up, but you know, I always vote Chadtowns

116
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 4: in at the Warriors. I thought he gave it his best,

117
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: and then he moved away and he became I think

118
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: one year he was the most penalized player in the

119
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: competition when he went to the Did he go straight

120
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: to the Cows or did he go somewhere else?

121
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: First?

122
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: Did you go to the Sharks?

123
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: And then he came back to the Warriors and then

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: he went to the Cowboys?

125
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 3: I think?

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: All right, so well, yeah, you know, he's probably just

127
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: getting a little bit older now. He definitely looks reader

128
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: in the face and angrier than he used to be.

129
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: He has at his discipline a little bit. But yeah,

130
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: it did seem a little bit of niggle there between them,

131
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: and I wonder if in particularly some of the older

132
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: Warrior players that would have been there while he was there,

133
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: like Marcelo Montoya.

134
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, Montoya was fired up. I know he has.

135
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: He had an incident a few years ago against the

136
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys as well that led to a bit of a

137
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: band so I think there's a bit of bad blood

138
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: between him and the Cowboys as well. So yeah, he

139
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: was fired up, and when you put he could have

140
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: got sent off for that push on Chad Townsend as

141
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: well a Montoya.

142
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. Look, I'm a Cowboys fan that they

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: are my other team. I love watching them play. They

144
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: are a little bit like the Warriors, and that they

145
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: are massively up and down, and you know, particularly this year,

146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: they're almost heavy identical season. So yeah, I'm not sure

147
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 4: what the what the water under the bridge is there,

148
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: but look, forty two points to twelve, what a performance.

149
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: Just tries galore and we should probably talk about the

150
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: back back.

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that was vintage DWZ there. When I was commentating,

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: I said it was Ben barber ESQ. But it was

153
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: actually like Greg Anglis in two thousand and eight heading

154
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: it back to Gasnia. Probably one of the best tries

155
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: I've seen in a long time, especially from the Warriors.

156
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was I love just the bare back

157
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 4: was so casual, like he just thought he'd roll the dice.

158
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: I might as we have a little swipe at this

159
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: and willow and behold.

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: And his foot was like centimeters away from the white line.

161
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: I know they train, especially as a winger, he trains

162
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: to stay in the field of playing stuff, but surely

163
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: there was some element of a fluke there as well.

164
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.

165
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna have a little bit of luck

166
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: the way the baldest yet popped up at the end

167
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: on that last bounce. But you know what, you're going

168
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: to take the opportunities. And the Warriors certainly have had

169
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: this year of bad luck over the years, so let's

170
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 4: take them. So currently the Warriors six wins, six losses

171
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: and a drawer. You can't have more of an even

172
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: split of a season than that.

173
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially after was it four or five losses

174
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: in a row and now we've turned it into three

175
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: wins in a bye. So we're sitting at ninth on

176
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: the table, one point outside of that eight. The eight

177
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: is pretty it's pretty even though at the moment it

178
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: goes up to sixteen points with the Ruses and six

179
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: and then storm at the top with the Sharks on

180
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty two points.

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: So the Warriors a.

182
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Few more wins away, we could easily cement ourself in

183
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the top eight for the season.

184
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, and you just kind of you kind of

185
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: don't want to be seventh or eighth. I mean, I'm

186
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: not sure if we can get higher than that. I

187
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: think we'd have to go on a hell of a

188
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: run now, but you know seventh and eighth. If you're

189
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: losing that, you know you've got to play. It will

190
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: be Cranala or Brisbane or something in the Storm in

191
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: that first round of the finals and you're basically gone.

192
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: Like I don't think anyone. I mean, the Warriors made

193
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: the Grand Final from eighth once, but that was a

194
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: long time ago.

195
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a different the setup this year. It

196
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: really favors the top four teams. We we do have

197
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting draw coming up. We gave the Storm, Titans,

198
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: Broncos and Builder. Obviously Storm and Broncos at home, probably

199
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: two of the hardest teams of the competition.

200
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, And but just remember we almost beat the

201
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: Storm earlier this year and that was my sliding doors moment.

202
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 4: But since since I mentioned that sliding doors moment, we've

203
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: won every game. So hope, let's hope we just can

204
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 4: you know, contain Zavier Coats pulling off America in the

205
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: last minute and and and bag two points against the Storm, who,

206
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: by the way, looked very good.

207
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it was a good game yesterday. They

208
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: they kind of loot the Nights back in there at

209
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the end. I think without Cameron Munster. They're definitely, definitely beatable,

210
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: but they're still the classic Storm.

211
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 2: Craig Bellamy, he.

212
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Looked depressed after a win after the game yesterday. It

213
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: was as a vintage Craig Bellamy moved there.

214
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just look like they can score from anywhere

215
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: and and it's massively dangerous.

216
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: There's one key point that's been talked about quite a

217
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: lot in all the Warriors fan pages, that moment when

218
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Artis come back, comes back, where do you reckon?

219
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: He's in a.

220
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: Gus interesting, isn't it. I mean, do you put him?

221
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: I mean, when we had our hearts problems and charms

222
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: went to sex like there was Actually he did pretty

223
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: well there and immediately I thought, well, you know, if

224
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: we're so bad injuries, when Artis comes back, then he

225
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: goes straight into fallback.

226
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: Right Yeah.

227
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, otherwise he just a Rocko Berry played so well

228
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: on the weekend, like such a good defensive center now,

229
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 4: so I don't know. And Adam Pompey's playing well and

230
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: kicking really well as well. So yeah, it's I mean,

231
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 4: do you have a back on the bench, like it

232
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: almost never happens anymore, but Artie is coming off the

233
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: bench as an impact player is a pretty awesome luxury

234
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: to have.

235
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

236
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like probably over the weekend it was

237
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: the best bench rotation that Webi's done all season as well,

238
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: because you had toahu coming on played about sixty minutes.

239
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: Cape well played forty I think, but it was probably

240
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: some of his best minutes of the season. To Vanga

241
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: only played twenty eight minutes, but he was he was

242
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: clinical and then lassic for the last twenty three. So

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, it feels like it's a good problem

244
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: for Weaby to have.

245
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

246
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 4: I mean Montoya had a couple of rough games. He

247
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: even dropped out of the side for a game, but

248
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: I think he's played pretty well since then. So for

249
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: a little while there, I was thinking maybe maybe just

250
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: put Antis on the wing and and dropped Montoya, but

251
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: I don't think you can at the moment.

252
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like he was safe under the high ball

253
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of cut their era out of the game.

254
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: Which was sort of hindering him at the start of

255
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: the season.

256
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's yeah, i'd be disappointed Montoya

257
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: got dropped as well.

258
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: Are the Blues still in beck and like are they

259
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 4: still in Super Rugby? Like Yeah, just put him on loan,

260
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: so back to rugby union for a week.

261
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: It seems weird because the Blues are kind of thriving

262
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: at the moment as well when he's he's dropped out

263
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: of the system.

264
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: I just I hate this.

265
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 4: I hate talking anything but wonderful things about Roger two

266
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: Vas this year.

267
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: He's such a good player.

268
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: Pretty much every game this season when he's played, he's

269
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: made a massive impact as well. It's just been he's

270
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: been unlucky.

271
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's kind of forgotten how to pass.

272
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 4: He's obviously got the best feet in the game, but

273
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: I'd like to see him pass a little bit more.

274
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, he's very very solid defender, but yeah, a

275
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: little bit more distribution from him. If if I'm going

276
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 4: to you know, if I have to have a critical

277
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: eye on it.

278
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Oh well, these are problems that Andrew WIBs

279
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: is going to run into in the next few weeks.

280
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: Anything else from you and the Warriors over the weekend.

281
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: No, that's that's me just it just gives you great confidence.

282
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: And I know they were a tired side, but you know,

283
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: you're still you're still gonna win. And it wasn't close

284
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: and as you say it was up in Townsville where

285
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: it was, I know, probably early thirty degrees and you know,

286
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: place like towns will winter.

287
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it was full of Bogans in the

288
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: crowd as well. There's a couple of times one of

289
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: the guys was standing real close to the studio, sorry,

290
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: the stadium, Mike, so we get to hear a lot

291
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: of his calls and he was not a big gene

292
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: pulled up in Townsville.

293
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: This're saying, no, no, Yeah. I love the Cowboys.

294
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: I'd like to see them play one day at home,

295
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: but hopefully it's one of those games where it's not

296
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: in Townsville. Although that stadium looks pretty cold, I got

297
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: to say it does.

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: It reminds me of sort of like an Amy Park

299
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: or Kombank Stadium in Sydney. We need one of those

300
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: over here in New Zealand. But that's a discussion for

314
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: This week we're going with the Penrith Panthers playing at home.

315
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: They took down the Seagulls thirty two to twenty two,

316
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: and it was a weird game. I've never seen a

317
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: game with his two first half hat tricks. Did you

318
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: catch much of a ben?

319
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

320
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: I did, actually tries galore and and what was amazing

321
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: about it? I think every single try was scored by

322
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: a winger. So Tommy Telo got four, Brian Or got three,

323
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: Sania Taruba got two. He also had a shocka defensively

324
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: in the first half of hints why Tommy Telo got four?

325
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, unbelievable. Every single every single try was scored

326
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: was scored out wide, so they've obviously got some very

327
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: good wingers that are good at attack and not defense.

328
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, even sub He scored a consolation try there for

329
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Manly and it was an awesome try, like twinkled Tod

330
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: down the sideline somehow found a bit of space. But yeah,

331
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Tommy Tallao, he was kind of an average player last

332
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: year at best at the Tigers. Now he's sort of

333
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: made a revival.

334
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think everyone becomes an average player when they

335
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: go to the Tigers. I fell for Benji just to

336
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: get off check a little bit, because man, every week

337
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: he's going to go and defend his team at that

338
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: press conference, and I think he's a naturally quite an

339
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: optimistic guy, and it's difficult when every single week you're

340
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: having a lost pretty much.

341
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: There's all these rumors about Lachlan Galvin as well, like

342
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the one sort of shining light coming out of the

343
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Tigers this season. Apparently he's saying he wanted an early

344
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: release in the changing rooms and they've denied it. Now

345
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: they've got a meeting the hit of the Tigers, who's

346
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: a meeting with his mum and dad this week because

347
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: he's only eighteen of course.

348
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: Oh right, Yeah, look what I've learned about at the

349
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: NRL is generally the rumors are true. Yeah, but no,

350
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: this is a great a great game of rugby league

351
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 4: on a Sunday afternoon, a real Sydney derby. People who

352
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 4: don't know the kind of history of the NRL may

353
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: not know that Manly was sort of like the Melbourne

354
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: Storm when they first came into the competition. They came,

355
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: you know, they come from the wealthy part of Sydney

356
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: in the Northern Beaches, and they just came in with

357
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: a lot of money and poached players from all sorts

358
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: of other clubs. And that was when the competition was

359
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: only semi professional. So and Penrith very much West Sydney,

360
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: you know, very much a working class, you know, sort

361
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: of traditional rugby league place, and so there's some real

362
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: feeling in this game. They got out to a lead.

363
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: It probably looks closer than it was on the score

364
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard because many sort of came back at them.

365
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: They never went away. But I don't think Penrith was

366
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: ever all that worried.

367
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a clinical Penrith performance as well. I

368
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: saw thirty seven out of thirty eight sets completed from

369
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: the game, and the second half they didn't drop a

370
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: ball but you could tell there was feeling in there

371
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: because Jerome Lay there was one time where he shoved

372
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: down the young Travoyevitch as well Berbo. He didn't have

373
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: his brothers to back him up, but he was just

374
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: like it was a massive grub move face into the dirt.

375
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: And then Luke Brooks kind of cost Manly a try

376
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: as well by backing him up, coloring Leuey. But yeah,

377
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: it was a great game and Penrith they seemed to

378
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: be once again proving to be the team to beat

379
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: in the competition.

380
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

381
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's a pretty clear top four, isn't there.

382
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 4: But I wanted to give a shout out though to

383
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 4: Daily Cherry Evans, who played a really good game despite

384
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: the loss, after having a mammoth game for Queensland in

385
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: the first staut of Origin.

386
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: So you know, I know it's.

387
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 4: He's a half and it's not quite as physical as

388
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 4: being a front railer or even a fullback, you know,

389
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: but the guy's thirty five years old and has played

390
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: two fantastic games in a week.

391
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

392
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: There was a classic moment as well when he didn't

393
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: kick the ball off the mark, so the referee gave

394
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: Tom the Mark, he kicked it out and then three

395
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: times he moved about eight meters forward while kicking the ball.

396
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: It was I saw it up in the n Our

397
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Instagram as well. It's a good moment. But Reuben Garrick's

398
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: kicking there was a couple of clips as well up there.

399
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: They were obviously tough kicks because they were all from

400
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: the wing and you could just hear the Penrith Bogans

401
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: giving him a massive spray and then it kind of

402
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: won them the game.

403
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 4: Penrith, Yeah, I guess it did, actually didn't it. Yeah,

404
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: you know, I love the beautiful scar faced reubend Garrett,

405
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 4: but he was I think they got in his head,

406
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 4: the crowd.

407
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

408
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: And another good player from the game as well was

409
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Dane Lourie, who has come over from the Tigers. It

410
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: was one of the best players for the Tigers last

411
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: year and I think he bet Dylan Edwards record for

412
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: running meters this year at fullback. Took twenty five carries

413
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: for like two hundred and seventy meters, had a Mammoth

414
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: supercoach game as well of anyone's following along with that.

415
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, he looks like definitely a first grade prayer there,

416
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Dan Lowry.

417
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but with that mustache, she's not anywhere near a school.

418
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And besides that game, there was

419
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: pretty much blowouts for the rest of the weekend.

420
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 2: Did you catch much of the much of the action?

421
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, bits and pieces. I think the Bunnies will be

422
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 4: very happy with their blowout because they're not obviously. Was

423
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: that their first win?

424
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: I think that's his second win in a row.

425
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, right right, Yes, Well Latrell is well and truly

426
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: bad so that you know, talk about a single player team,

427
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: but you know, the Bunnies without Latrell is well, it's

428
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: not worth talking about really. But yeah, he had a

429
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 4: huge game, one hundred and fifty super coach points, so yeah,

430
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 4: big meters and big presence.

431
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: You'd have to assume that he will be back in

432
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: Origin for game two as well, probably replacing Sole.

433
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: Oh mate.

434
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: If Mage knows anything about the game of rugby league,

435
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: he needs to make wholesale changes and put back in

436
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: his game breakers.

437
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, who else do you reckon the game breakers to

438
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: bring in?

439
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 4: Do you know what I've said this before, I'll say

440
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: it again, Scott Drinkwater. I I don't know where, but

441
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 4: I bring him into the side.

442
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. He's a good player. He's sure and

443
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: pockets against the Warriors.

444
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: He was lethal.

445
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: Well, he ran well, he ran eighty meters like he's

446
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 4: got expector. And I just think that that Origin game

447
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 4: by the Blues, that's what it lacked. It lacked any

448
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: kind of you know, spark.

449
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

450
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: And if there were any doubts of Zach Lomac's getting

451
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: dropped as well, he's probably he had a great game,

452
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to be fair, in his Origin debut. But he scored

453
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: thirty two points two nights after playing his first of

454
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a game of Origin. I think it was a Dragon's

455
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: record as well for the most points ever scored in

456
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: a game.

457
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: Look, I don't know what it is about him, but

458
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 4: he rubs everybody up the wrong way. No, I don't

459
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: think he's anyone's favorite player, but the effect remains he's

460
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: actually pretty good.

461
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

462
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: And then probably the last point of the round for

463
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: me was the Sharks going over to the Broncos and

464
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: what was pretty much like a top of the table

465
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: clash game. No Nico Hines trindle back from his drink

466
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: driving allegedly cocaine abuse allegation. I don't know what it was,

467
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: but he looked like he was a great player, and

468
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: the Sharks looked like they're definitely still a team to

469
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: beat this year.

470
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

471
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And obviously Broncos with a lot of players backing

472
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 4: up from Origin.

473
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, well, yeah, it was a good round.

474
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: Anything else to add from you for the rest of

475
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: the round.

476
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: No, I this round generally happens at some point, this

477
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: type of round where it's just basically all blowouts, and

478
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 4: it is during this weird time. My only concern is

479
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: as a long term Warriors fan, this used to be

480
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: what happened every single season, was that we'd win through

481
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: the Origin period and then when you know that was over,

482
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 4: then things would go back to normal, being a bit

483
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: up and down. I just hope we can take confidence

484
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: from this time. And obviously we you know, fitness and

485
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: stuff looked great after the buye the week before.

486
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: We just really looked we would look like a great team.

487
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's my only concern is I'm hoping this

488
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: isn't just a history repeating itself. Yeah.

489
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: No, that is a's a good point and it will

490
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: be huge if we can take these good wins over

491
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, take it back to Mount Smart

492
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's Saturday, seven thirty. Keezy and Andni they're

493
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: going to be back from there. Feels like a two

494
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: week bender in Bali, and they'll be back commentating the

495
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: game on sky Sport nine, Skyports nine or sky Sports seven,

496
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: one of the two. And yeah, fingers cross the Warriors

497
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: can get up and make a good round.

498
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to Japan tomorrow. Oh, no, a week

499
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna I don't know that how big the

500
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: NRL is in Japan, so I'll just be on a

501
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: dodgy VPN bouncing off a satellite via North Korea or

502
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: something to get the game.

503
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 3: But I'll get it.

504
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: You'll get it.

505
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure you can probably even find a way

506
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: to get Keyesy and Mania calling calling the game over

507
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: there and join a few asas over there.
