I know how Shit's Amsterdam? 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:50.760 Right? Well? 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.680 You were just there, right, you were there for five 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.120 weeks over in Europe. Were you watching plenty of NRL 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:55.640 while you were there? 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:55.880 Yeah? 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.280 Yeah, Actually, when I was there, I watched the Warriors 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.080 versus Eels game literally like on the Red Light District 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.120 because my mate's sister has an apartment there, so we 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.200 watched it over there. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.080 On the Red Light districtors we heard partners. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.200 Yeah, it's about a stone's throat. It's like literally fifty. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.600 Meters away and what does she do for a crust? 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.000 She's honestly, probably like one of the most sensible people 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.040 I've ever met in my life. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.720 She's accounted or sorry of the day. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:22.000 Yeah, but we also were in Amsterdam listening to You 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.039 and Die on the ACC right, because he has this 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.800 sort of VPN it seems, but dodger is. 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.479 It on a fire stick or is it on his computer? 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:30.440 It's on a TV. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:31.360 I don't know what it is. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.000 Yeah, my brother and Aws got the same thing and 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:35.760 it's like this dodgy thing where you can stream like 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.880 New Zealand Staff cricket. Yeah, it was the ACC live 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.640 on sky Sport two or something, but it was. Yes, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.720 we literally watched the Warriors lose to the bottom of 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.400 the table, Eelshy and die. It was good Man far right. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.720 We were there at the ground for that. One one 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.480 of my favorite memories of the year. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:51.040 So far. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.720 When I went to Europe the year before the season 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.360 had finished, so I didn't actually watch any sports. I 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:57.840 was just wondering if it was actually possible to watch 0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:58.720 it over there, which it is. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.640 Yeah. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.240 Today, we've obviously got two NRL games to preview. It 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.720 is the Kernella Sharks taking on the North Queensland Cowboys 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.720 and the Sydney Roosters taking on the Manly Seagulls on 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.600 the Saturday night. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.079 I think we. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.800 Start with a bit of a teamless a rundown of 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.840 what's going on with these Sharks and the Cowboys. For 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.360 the Sharks, they are sticking with Hines and Brandon Trendle 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.240 and the halves there. And the rumor is that Jesse Raymian, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.320 who's been named on the reserves, could be coming back. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.239 And oh yeah, so where will he be going? 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.480 Slotting in at center, I would say, or and then 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.760 Tullukay will just revert to coming off the bench potentially. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.400 I did notice that because Ramian's like one of the 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.840 best centers in the league, I'd say, and it just 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.080 shows how good of a season Caylee hero has had. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.120 And then near Tallakai but he's the. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.560 Go to cale. It all is going to be like 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.359 the lock in center for next year. Raymian on the 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.639 other side, because he's been brilliant too, and he just 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.280 had a bit of an ankle niggle. But I think 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.920 Talakai coming off the bench for impact is just like 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.240 you're thirty minutes into the first half, they bring him 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.240 off and then all of a sudden he's running hard 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.000 at you trying to score. That's a really effective way 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.320 to use him, I think. Other than that's no real changes. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.480 They've got Cam mc kinnis at thirteen, t Wilton and 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.360 Britain Kuta in the back row as well. Looking at 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.440 the Cowboys side, they are pretty much full strength. The 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.160 only one I'd say, who's you know, got a bit 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.799 of a question mark around him is that Villa Army 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.480 Vailia and Jersey number four where I reckon The Sharks 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.320 will certainly target him. Who's your who are you swaying 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.639 towards in this game? Because these two teams are two 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.760 of the teams that all season either they are going 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.240 to absolutely destroy another side or they are going to 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.640 get there there beings? 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.960 Really Yeah, well that's that's a thing. It's a tough one. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.840 I think I'm leaning towards the Sharks for I don't 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.560 even know, to be honest, I feel like the Sharks 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.880 often get pumped and then they bounce back the next week, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.000 have a great game. Nikahein shows up. But it's interesting 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.480 because they're actually not playing this one at Shark Park 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:55.880 as well. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.880 No, it's an eight A Corp Stadium, is it? 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:03.200 Cora Alliens one alliens? Yeah, Aliens is the home for 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:03.760 the Roosters. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.600 I think that's it. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.400 That's and so that that's the. 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.800 Home of the Roosters. Not too far from Cronella. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.880 But I know because there's been a whole little bit 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.840 around and I think the GM of the Club of 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.679 the Sharks actually came out and made a joke about 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.520 how no one's going to shar up to this game. Yeah, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.120 but I guess they just want as many people through 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.680 the door as possible. So I hopefully the Sharks can 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.760 get in there, because the cowboys are you know, if 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.800 if the Sharks allow them to get up. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.920 And flying, it could be a long night for the Sharks. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.840 However, seven and oh, oh and seven, I should say 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.200 the Sharks are in the finals. Oh really yeah wow, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.600 and all of their Yeah, so like they've got a 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.479 horrific record going into this. But to be honest, if 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:44.880 I could pick a team to be going up against 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.120 this weekend, it would be the Cowboys. Yeah, and the 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.480 TA b agrees with you there. The Sharks are paying a. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:52.720 Dollar fifty five. Yeah. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.640 Wow, wow, that is uh, that's quite low odds because 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.880 I don't know the Cowboys. They have these big game 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.640 players as well, Bell Holmes, Tom didon for one, that 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.240 they've done it for Queensland before as underdogs. That is 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.719 definitely gonna be a good game to watch. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.600 Yeah, Scott drink Water as well. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.080 And of course the recent change they made a few 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.520 weeks back of dropping out Chad Townsend and bringing Jake 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.320 Clifford and instead. And of course you've got the likes 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.159 of Jeremiah Nan and I, Jason Palmerlola where if he 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.560 can get a bit of vintage form going, and the 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.320 big Feller off the bench as well, keep an eye 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.479 on the interchange Kuli Kifu Finifuyaki as well. Pretty devastating 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.240 ball runner with ball in hand. Look, this is a 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.520 game where if if I get to the end of 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.760 the weekend and the Cowboys have won, I'm not surprised. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.120 Yeah, if I get to the end of the weekend of 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.480 Sharks of one, I'm not surprised. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:38.520 Yeah, I don't know. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.800 I was just watching back the highlights of the Knights 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.600 Cowboys game, and I feel like the Knights probably should 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.400 be there as well. I'll after Dane Gag I dropped 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.760 that absolute sitter, there was a deer, there was the 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.840 Gag guy after who to be honest, last five weeks 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.719 of the season, he's been insane. Yeah, he's been really good, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.240 and he dropped his citter. But also there was a 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:56.880 missed field go and stuff in there as well. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.360 And the Knights they were a team that even if 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.400 they got through the next round, nothing else was going 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.960 to happen. Yeah, definitely, definitely, And to be honest, how 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.080 do you feel about this statement? It's part it's going 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.239 to be Panthers' storm and none of this really matters 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.240 one hundred percent, I think everyone. 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.760 Yeah, that's it's a shame because it does really take 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.400 the sting out of it. These two unbelievable teams that 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.120 just have a week off. All their players are going 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.720 to be fit, They're going to be at home. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.200 it's a bit of a stretch up for kind of 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.760 either team that gets through well. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.400 And the issue too is because you need bloody good 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.600 defense in order to beat the Storm and in order 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.160 to beat the Panthers, especially the Panthers they pride themselves 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.280 on defense. And all the teams that are coming through 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.480 Manly Roosters, Sharks, Cowboys, they are all offense. They can 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.960 score points, but they can't stop. And to be honest, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.160 the one team that could have if they were at 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.200 full strength and didn't have the Fox getting pulled over 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.719 for drugs, it's probably the Bulldogs. Yeah, so they are 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.760 almost like a finals prototype that you know, didn't quite 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.039 peak at the right time. So I'm very much in 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.200 the pool, in the sort of the corner of whichever 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.479 one of these teams gets through. It doesn't really I 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.400 hope it does, like I hope it does matter, and 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.479 they can upset and actually, you know, hopefully knock either 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.440 the Storm or preferably the Panthers off, But I just 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.560 I just don't see it happening. Anything else you want 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.720 to say before we moved to Saturday night's game, Nah, No, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.000 let's go there. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.280 The All Blacks taking on the Wild Beees. Whats gonna 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:18.760 happen there. 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.680 Oh fu, Saturday afternoon footy man, I'm fizzing for that. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.000 It is actually a great, a great evening of sport 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.920 because you've got the AB's on it five is it? 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.040 Five? Five forty five? Five forty five? Random time I wasie, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:29.720 thank you very much. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.360 And then as soon as that finishes you can have 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:32.960 a we break for dinner and then chuck on the 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.400 roosters taking on the seagulls. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:34.640 Yeah. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.600 And also before that full day of horse racing at Allersley. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:41.160 Oh my goodness, you are such a digit, are you actually? Look? 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.280 It's no shame return to the Ellerslie. I might, I 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.200 might pop down and support, you know, support the industry. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.800 Right so and has this love of horse racing that 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.880 you've got, because just to paint a picture for everyone. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.920 While the big show was over at Magic Round, Joel 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.280 had spend quite a lot of his time at the 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.440 Caxton instead of watching the footy that was on beating 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:01.280 on the horses. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.040 Oh mate, that was the dumb in ten thousand, it 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.720 was a big race day. But no, to be fair, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.640 I feel like they go hand in hand. And I've 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.440 actually learned that a lot of rugby league players and 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.240 X Rugby league players are big on the on the horses, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.480 especially like all the Australians, right, Brian Fletcher from Flitch 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.560 and Hindi, he's a big one of the best tippers 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.520 in Australia as well. Really, he's like unbelievable. So yeah, 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.160 maybe I'm the Nicks. Brian Flincher the rugby league skills. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.400 So he's genuine And so where do you get your 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.319 horse knowledge from? 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:33.199 Ah? 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.040 No, it's just a bit of fun, this is Yeah, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.880 there's a there's a bit of a bit of just 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.160 watching people online and stuff. I guess, yeah, it's I 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.400 feel like probably the the integration of TAB into the 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.800 ACC and from league and stuff is kind of just 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.800 it's sort of just a gateway. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.560 I guess you can call. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.640 It, right, Okay, so now you're big on the horses. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.800 To be fair like it is. I remember when I 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.680 was studying and we had no money. We'd have like 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.440 our last ten dollars before our student allowance came in 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.280 and we just go to the local pub, which was 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.439 the Bush and yeah, down An Island in christ Hips there. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.679 People down there will definitely know the Bush and and 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.480 you take that ten and just punt it on a 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.560 horse and if you won, then you ate dinner and 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.920 you got a jug, and if you lost, then you 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.320 had to wait till breakfast to eat again. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.160 Yeah, I love it. Classic situation, man. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.400 I might do that tomorrow before Paedo as well. Actually, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.480 well it's good because at the time, I think pizza 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.600 Hard or something. He had a five dollar pizza and 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.360 then a jug of export or a handle of export 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.840 was five bucks as well. So if you took your 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.560 ten you could just get those two things, but instead 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.240 you punt it. Hopefully you get a win and then 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:34.680 get several of those things. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:35.000 Yeah. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.520 Well it's kind of like you can do that with 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.440 your rent money and stuff as well. Mate, you rent money, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:39.000 child support. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.439 What do you want to do? You go for it. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.880 Hey, Saturday night's game. You got the Roosters and the Seagulls. Yeah, 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.319 this is actually going to be an exciting game. It's 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.880 going to be a good one. You've got well a 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:56.920 full strength Seagles side. However, Tom Turbo has been playing through. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.080 One hell of an injury. Did you see this news? 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.360 Yeah, it was he's playing with a Grade three AC 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:03.920 shoulder joint issue or something. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:04.560 That's right. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.119 I think he had to get an injection at halftime 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.480 and an egiction before the game. So he's running you know, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.960 he's running on fumes Tom too. But I'm still he 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.720 wasn't one hundred percent himself, but he was still playing excellent. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.160 He also has an MCL sprain. Yeah what really? 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.200 Yeah, that's actually I look when I in my Social 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.160 League game this year, I sprained my MCL as well 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.480 and put me up for like two weeks. 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.840 Well that's the thing is, you were going to Europe 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.480 like two weeks later, and you were like, I'm gonna 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.000 rest man and my and I even said it here, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:33.600 I know you're not. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.520 Yeah, you're gonna play, and you did play and it 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:36.439 was fine. You played through it. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.800 Yeah, but it's actually a very painful injury. Obviously, they 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.000 probably have physio and the drugs and stuff that can 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.920 make it better, and it's probably a little bit more 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.960 important for him to be fit than me. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.440 But yeah, but it's funny because he's playing through a 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.280 Grade three AC joint injury and MCL sprain. But he's 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.080 a no doubt for this weekend. But he still was 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.480 excellent at the weekend, you know what I mean, he 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.400 wasn't himself, but he was still so good. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.280 Yeah, I just have to question though, like how much 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.480 of a full strength Seagulls team is it when they 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.199 have Carl Lawton starting in the back row as well 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.440 former warrior hook it? 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.360 Oh wow, I just I just spotted that. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.959 Actually Carl Laughton is officially in the back row and 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.880 SAB's out, But who cares about that? So who is he? 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.920 So he must be twur for four simply Corey Woodell. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.600 So twur for four would probably come in and then oh. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:33.720 God, well yeah I guess Josh, oh God interchange. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.080 Yeah, I think him and Burbo just sort of switch 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.840 into that that role there. But I I like Carlawton. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.640 He plays it like a crazy tenacity, you know what 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.600 I mean. He plays his guts out whenever he's out there. Meanwhile, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.160 you've got the roosters who are still without a few 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.440 names as well. Jared Wadeer Hargreaves is back, which is cool. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.800 He didn't retire by getting a suspension, which is nice. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.160 Victor Radley is in the extended squad. He might return, 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.800 and instead you've got starting in Jersey thirteen Nafahu White too. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.719 To be honest, he looks like he's going to be 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.000 a bloody good player of the future. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:06.800 Who White. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.959 Yeah, he's a young young Kiwi as well, I think 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.720 only twenty one or something as well, so he's definitely 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.559 got a got a good future ahead of him. I 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.920 think the key one for me here though is sand 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.920 and Smith and the seven jersey going up against DC 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.200 obviously one of the best halves in the game. Last week, 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.080 the Panther's kind of just targeted him and he. Don't 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.720 get me wrong, he's a great player as well. But 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.880 finals footy, you really need your your half back being 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.040 that gun player on your team. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.680 Well mate, we'll just channel our big back rower Carl 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.240 Lawton to run straight at him in Platinum. That's true. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.280 I feel like, yeah, I know, I was looking at 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.640 the team as well. And if the Roosters do lose here, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.599 that'll be the last game of rugby league in the 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.400 NRAL for Manu, for Manu and Kiri. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.800 Because he's off to the Super League. That's right. And yeah, and. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.520 Then still Tooperneur talks about going to the Bulldogs as well, I. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.840 Think so as Joseph su as well. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.480 Yeah he's going to rugby Yeah wow, so their entire 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.280 back line, Yeah, it's going to be pulled to pieces. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.680 This is going to be the Tedesco show, No Sam Walker, 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.120 He's going to be going off, Whereas I think for 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.680 the Manly side it'll be the daily Cherry Evens show. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.720 And I just I love their back line and I 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:15.839 love you. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.120 Know a short ball to how Homely Olatu as well. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:20.359 I love Parsica. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.040 He's starting to come into form and they've just got 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:27.560 such quick guns across the park on either side. When 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.640 this when Manly are up and flying, they are my 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.679 favorite team to watch. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.120 Yeah, cooler that try he scored to win the game. 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.280 That was so yeah. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.440 Yeah, he's I reckon. He top three fastest in the 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.280 whole camp as. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.240 Well because his parents were sprinters, right, yeah. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.720 He used to be a sprinter as well. I think 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.400 for Tonga. Well, actually a friend of mine, Matt, who 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.400 is very much into his athletics coaching, we were watching 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.959 him run. He's ah, he was definitely a sprinter. The 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.120 way he runs is like anatomically pretty bloody outstanding. And 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.400 then you've got young Lehi Hopwati as well, who's coming. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.640 He's still very very and he is absolutely dynamite as well. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.880 One of thirty seven kids of John Hopwati as well, 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.760 and then of course you can't for your garrick. Tommy 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.240 Tallows had an amazing season, and to be honest, this 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.520 is probably the best Manly have looked in a few years. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.760 They've always been there with thereabouts, but right now I 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.480 think they look pretty hot. And if I had to 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.920 pick one of these four teams Manly, Roosters, Sharks or 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.560 Cowboys two get through, I'd probably want it to be Manly. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.800 I know. I just worry that they might have played 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.840 their big game last week totally. Yeah, it doesn't matter 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.480 because they're gonna lose, but still yeah, so you reckon 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.480 Roosters are gonna win as well? 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.800 No sorry against Panthers aw Storm. Yeah, if they get through, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:37.360 it doesn't matter. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.000 So who are you gonna put for this week? I 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.720 think the Seagulls will beat the Roosters. Yeah, pure The 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.240 Sam Walker factor man so and so is Victor Radley 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.360 in the middle there that's just such a giant piece 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.240 to be missing out on. And then you see, yes, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.280 Tom Turbo's got injuries, but he still looks so good. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.760 I saw some week Victor Radley's on the extended bench, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.680 and I think that he might he might actually come on. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.800 I actually said that earlier, so yes, there is a 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.520 chance he will be named. And to be honest, he's 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.160 the kind of foaming at the mouth mad dog that 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.680 would want to come in regardless. Yeah yeah, yeah, so 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.000 I know. So your pick as the roosters, I'll go roosters. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.760 Yeah yeah, I'm picking the seagulls. There probably the smart one, 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.080 to be honest. Yeah, who knows? Man toss of a 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.760 coin both of these games, to be honest. We will 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.840 take a quick break on the Mad Monday Podcast when 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.800 we return. Joel Harrison's got some hilarious content for us 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.040 that he's been prepping, which is amazing. Also, we've got 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.640 our tab game day. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.120 Good hunch. We'll be right back. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.520 Welcome back to the Mad Monday Podcast. Thanks to our 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.800 mates at four and twenty pis Yum. Earlier in the week, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.280 a great new Zealander Sophie Acklan, which is this has 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.040 been well covered now on the agenda. We did it 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.400 on the Big Show the other day as well, but 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.920 she put together every single Warriors game that the ACC commentated. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.120 She then put who was commentating the game and the 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.360 win loss record for each commentator. Now the man who 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.280 came out on top was pants man Joel Harrison. You 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.200 commentated two games, you called two games, and both of 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.840 which were wins. Now, what is it's your secret? Gels 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.400 are commentating a win for the Warriors in twenty twenty four. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.560 I feel like what I did was sort of similar 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.440 to what the Warriors used to thrive off. I kind 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.680 of jumped in there when I was needed around Origin time, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.360 that's right, and Cowboys and bronc Cowboys and Broncos in 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.320 the Origin time. And I remember that the Cowboys one 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.880 was three or four days after they had just played 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.760 Origin one, so three of their six Origin players didn't play, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.560 and then we just pumped them forty to twelve. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.040 And then the Broncos it was. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.960 When they had half their injuries and no painhass, no 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:32.920 Carrigan or Walsh. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.040 So right, I like to think I just got Reynolds, 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:35.560
