Speaker 1: Oh good a Rugby League fans, welcome along to the
Speaker 1: Export Beer Garden Studio for the Mad Monday podcast, brought
Speaker 1: to you, as always by the delicious four and twenty
Speaker 1: traveler Pie, the perfect pie to have in one hand
Speaker 1: where you've got the TV remote in the other and
Speaker 1: you're watching Week two of the NRAL Finals. My name
Speaker 1: is Chris Ky aka Adam fanilak Kezy. Joining me today
Speaker 1: the pants Man Joel Harrison. Joel, how are you going? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good, Thanks man, thanks for having me on here.
Speaker 2: Oh mate. When I heard it was gonna be me
Speaker 2: and you, I was stoked.
Speaker 3: I know I can tell, man. I could just see
Speaker 3: your expression through the messages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so good being here. Adam text me is like,
Speaker 1: hey man, the rest of the ACC is over. They
Speaker 1: heading to Amsterdam for October fist. I'll get you in
Speaker 1: the pants Man to do Mad Monday. You know, I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, I know which one of those two
Speaker 1: things I'd rather be doing? I know how Shit's Amsterdam?
Speaker 2: Right? Well?
Speaker 1: You were just there, right, you were there for five
Speaker 1: weeks over in Europe. Were you watching plenty of NRL
Speaker 1: while you were there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually, when I was there, I watched the Warriors
Speaker 3: versus Eels game literally like on the Red Light District
Speaker 3: because my mate's sister has an apartment there, so we
Speaker 3: watched it over there.
Speaker 2: On the Red Light districtors we heard partners.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about a stone's throat. It's like literally fifty.
Speaker 2: Meters away and what does she do for a crust?
Speaker 1: She's honestly, probably like one of the most sensible people
Speaker 1: I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 2: She's accounted or sorry of the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we also were in Amsterdam listening to You
Speaker 1: and Die on the ACC right, because he has this
Speaker 1: sort of VPN it seems, but dodger is.
Speaker 2: It on a fire stick or is it on his computer?
Speaker 1: It's on a TV.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my brother and Aws got the same thing and
Speaker 1: it's like this dodgy thing where you can stream like
Speaker 1: New Zealand Staff cricket. Yeah, it was the ACC live
Speaker 1: on sky Sport two or something, but it was. Yes,
Speaker 1: we literally watched the Warriors lose to the bottom of
Speaker 1: the table, Eelshy and die. It was good Man far right.
Speaker 1: We were there at the ground for that. One one
Speaker 1: of my favorite memories of the year.
Speaker 2: So far.
Speaker 1: When I went to Europe the year before the season
Speaker 1: had finished, so I didn't actually watch any sports. I
Speaker 1: was just wondering if it was actually possible to watch
Speaker 1: it over there, which it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Today, we've obviously got two NRL games to preview. It
Speaker 1: is the Kernella Sharks taking on the North Queensland Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the Sydney Roosters taking on the Manly Seagulls on
Speaker 1: the Saturday night.
Speaker 2: I think we.
Speaker 1: Start with a bit of a teamless a rundown of
Speaker 1: what's going on with these Sharks and the Cowboys. For
Speaker 1: the Sharks, they are sticking with Hines and Brandon Trendle
Speaker 1: and the halves there. And the rumor is that Jesse Raymian,
Speaker 1: who's been named on the reserves, could be coming back.
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, so where will he be going?
Speaker 1: Slotting in at center, I would say, or and then
Speaker 1: Tullukay will just revert to coming off the bench potentially.
Speaker 3: I did notice that because Ramian's like one of the
Speaker 3: best centers in the league, I'd say, and it just
Speaker 3: shows how good of a season Caylee hero has had.
Speaker 2: And then near Tallakai but he's the.
Speaker 1: Go to cale. It all is going to be like
Speaker 1: the lock in center for next year. Raymian on the
Speaker 1: other side, because he's been brilliant too, and he just
Speaker 1: had a bit of an ankle niggle. But I think
Speaker 1: Talakai coming off the bench for impact is just like
Speaker 1: you're thirty minutes into the first half, they bring him
Speaker 1: off and then all of a sudden he's running hard
Speaker 1: at you trying to score. That's a really effective way
Speaker 1: to use him, I think. Other than that's no real changes.
Speaker 1: They've got Cam mc kinnis at thirteen, t Wilton and
Speaker 1: Britain Kuta in the back row as well. Looking at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys side, they are pretty much full strength. The
Speaker 1: only one I'd say, who's you know, got a bit
Speaker 1: of a question mark around him is that Villa Army
Speaker 1: Vailia and Jersey number four where I reckon The Sharks
Speaker 1: will certainly target him. Who's your who are you swaying
Speaker 1: towards in this game? Because these two teams are two
Speaker 1: of the teams that all season either they are going
Speaker 1: to absolutely destroy another side or they are going to
Speaker 1: get there there beings?
Speaker 3: Really Yeah, well that's that's a thing. It's a tough one.
Speaker 3: I think I'm leaning towards the Sharks for I don't
Speaker 3: even know, to be honest, I feel like the Sharks
Speaker 3: often get pumped and then they bounce back the next week,
Speaker 3: have a great game. Nikahein shows up. But it's interesting
Speaker 3: because they're actually not playing this one at Shark Park
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: No, it's an eight A Corp Stadium, is it?
Speaker 1: Cora Alliens one alliens? Yeah, Aliens is the home for
Speaker 1: the Roosters.
Speaker 2: I think that's it.
Speaker 1: That's and so that that's the.
Speaker 2: Home of the Roosters. Not too far from Cronella.
Speaker 1: But I know because there's been a whole little bit
Speaker 1: around and I think the GM of the Club of
Speaker 1: the Sharks actually came out and made a joke about
Speaker 1: how no one's going to shar up to this game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I guess they just want as many people through
Speaker 1: the door as possible. So I hopefully the Sharks can
Speaker 1: get in there, because the cowboys are you know, if
Speaker 1: if the Sharks allow them to get up.
Speaker 2: And flying, it could be a long night for the Sharks.
Speaker 1: However, seven and oh, oh and seven, I should say
Speaker 1: the Sharks are in the finals. Oh really yeah wow,
Speaker 1: and all of their Yeah, so like they've got a
Speaker 1: horrific record going into this. But to be honest, if
Speaker 1: I could pick a team to be going up against
Speaker 1: this weekend, it would be the Cowboys. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: TA b agrees with you there. The Sharks are paying a.
Speaker 2: Dollar fifty five. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow, wow, that is uh, that's quite low odds because
Speaker 3: I don't know the Cowboys. They have these big game
Speaker 3: players as well, Bell Holmes, Tom didon for one, that
Speaker 3: they've done it for Queensland before as underdogs. That is
Speaker 3: definitely gonna be a good game to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Scott drink Water as well.
Speaker 1: And of course the recent change they made a few
Speaker 1: weeks back of dropping out Chad Townsend and bringing Jake
Speaker 1: Clifford and instead. And of course you've got the likes
Speaker 1: of Jeremiah Nan and I, Jason Palmerlola where if he
Speaker 1: can get a bit of vintage form going, and the
Speaker 1: big Feller off the bench as well, keep an eye
Speaker 1: on the interchange Kuli Kifu Finifuyaki as well. Pretty devastating
Speaker 1: ball runner with ball in hand. Look, this is a
Speaker 1: game where if if I get to the end of
Speaker 1: the weekend and the Cowboys have won, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I get to the end of the weekend of
Speaker 2: Sharks of one, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was just watching back the highlights of the Knights
Speaker 3: Cowboys game, and I feel like the Knights probably should
Speaker 3: be there as well. I'll after Dane Gag I dropped
Speaker 3: that absolute sitter, there was a deer, there was the
Speaker 3: Gag guy after who to be honest, last five weeks
Speaker 3: of the season, he's been insane. Yeah, he's been really good,
Speaker 3: and he dropped his citter. But also there was a
Speaker 3: missed field go and stuff in there as well.
Speaker 1: And the Knights they were a team that even if
Speaker 1: they got through the next round, nothing else was going
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, definitely, definitely, And to be honest, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about this statement? It's part it's going
Speaker 1: to be Panthers' storm and none of this really matters
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, I think everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's a shame because it does really take
Speaker 3: the sting out of it. These two unbelievable teams that
Speaker 3: just have a week off. All their players are going
Speaker 3: to be fit, They're going to be at home. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a stretch up for kind of
Speaker 3: either team that gets through well.
Speaker 1: And the issue too is because you need bloody good
Speaker 1: defense in order to beat the Storm and in order
Speaker 1: to beat the Panthers, especially the Panthers they pride themselves
Speaker 1: on defense. And all the teams that are coming through
Speaker 1: Manly Roosters, Sharks, Cowboys, they are all offense. They can
Speaker 1: score points, but they can't stop. And to be honest,
Speaker 1: the one team that could have if they were at
Speaker 1: full strength and didn't have the Fox getting pulled over
Speaker 1: for drugs, it's probably the Bulldogs. Yeah, so they are
Speaker 1: almost like a finals prototype that you know, didn't quite
Speaker 1: peak at the right time. So I'm very much in
Speaker 1: the pool, in the sort of the corner of whichever
Speaker 1: one of these teams gets through. It doesn't really I
Speaker 1: hope it does, like I hope it does matter, and
Speaker 1: they can upset and actually, you know, hopefully knock either
Speaker 1: the Storm or preferably the Panthers off, But I just
Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. Anything else you want
Speaker 1: to say before we moved to Saturday night's game, Nah, No,
Speaker 1: let's go there.
Speaker 2: The All Blacks taking on the Wild Beees. Whats gonna
Speaker 2: happen there.
Speaker 3: Oh fu, Saturday afternoon footy man, I'm fizzing for that.
Speaker 1: It is actually a great, a great evening of sport
Speaker 1: because you've got the AB's on it five is it?
Speaker 2: Five? Five forty five? Five forty five? Random time I wasie,
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as that finishes you can have
Speaker 1: a we break for dinner and then chuck on the
Speaker 1: roosters taking on the seagulls.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also before that full day of horse racing at Allersley.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you are such a digit, are you actually? Look?
Speaker 3: It's no shame return to the Ellerslie. I might, I
Speaker 3: might pop down and support, you know, support the industry.
Speaker 1: Right so and has this love of horse racing that
Speaker 1: you've got, because just to paint a picture for everyone.
Speaker 1: While the big show was over at Magic Round, Joel
Speaker 1: had spend quite a lot of his time at the
Speaker 1: Caxton instead of watching the footy that was on beating
Speaker 1: on the horses.
Speaker 3: Oh mate, that was the dumb in ten thousand, it
Speaker 3: was a big race day. But no, to be fair,
Speaker 3: I feel like they go hand in hand. And I've
Speaker 3: actually learned that a lot of rugby league players and
Speaker 3: X Rugby league players are big on the on the horses,
Speaker 3: especially like all the Australians, right, Brian Fletcher from Flitch
Speaker 3: and Hindi, he's a big one of the best tippers
Speaker 3: in Australia as well. Really, he's like unbelievable. So yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe I'm the Nicks. Brian Flincher the rugby league skills.
Speaker 3: So he's genuine And so where do you get your
Speaker 3: horse knowledge from?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 3: No, it's just a bit of fun, this is Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a there's a bit of a bit of just
Speaker 3: watching people online and stuff. I guess, yeah, it's I
Speaker 3: feel like probably the the integration of TAB into the
Speaker 3: ACC and from league and stuff is kind of just
Speaker 3: it's sort of just a gateway.
Speaker 2: I guess you can call.
Speaker 1: It, right, Okay, so now you're big on the horses.
Speaker 1: To be fair like it is. I remember when I
Speaker 1: was studying and we had no money. We'd have like
Speaker 1: our last ten dollars before our student allowance came in
Speaker 1: and we just go to the local pub, which was
Speaker 1: the Bush and yeah, down An Island in christ Hips there.
Speaker 1: People down there will definitely know the Bush and and
Speaker 1: you take that ten and just punt it on a
Speaker 1: horse and if you won, then you ate dinner and
Speaker 1: you got a jug, and if you lost, then you
Speaker 1: had to wait till breakfast to eat again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Classic situation, man.
Speaker 1: I might do that tomorrow before Paedo as well. Actually,
Speaker 1: well it's good because at the time, I think pizza
Speaker 1: Hard or something. He had a five dollar pizza and
Speaker 1: then a jug of export or a handle of export
Speaker 1: was five bucks as well. So if you took your
Speaker 1: ten you could just get those two things, but instead
Speaker 1: you punt it. Hopefully you get a win and then
Speaker 1: get several of those things.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it's kind of like you can do that with
Speaker 1: your rent money and stuff as well. Mate, you rent money,
Speaker 1: child support.
Speaker 2: What do you want to do? You go for it.
Speaker 1: Hey, Saturday night's game. You got the Roosters and the Seagulls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is actually going to be an exciting game. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a good one. You've got well a
Speaker 1: full strength Seagles side. However, Tom Turbo has been playing through.
Speaker 2: One hell of an injury. Did you see this news?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was he's playing with a Grade three AC
Speaker 1: shoulder joint issue or something.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: I think he had to get an injection at halftime
Speaker 1: and an egiction before the game. So he's running you know,
Speaker 1: he's running on fumes Tom too. But I'm still he
Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent himself, but he was still playing excellent.
Speaker 1: He also has an MCL sprain. Yeah what really?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's actually I look when I in my Social
Speaker 3: League game this year, I sprained my MCL as well
Speaker 3: and put me up for like two weeks.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing is, you were going to Europe
Speaker 1: like two weeks later, and you were like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: rest man and my and I even said it here,
Speaker 1: I know you're not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna play, and you did play and it
Speaker 2: was fine. You played through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's actually a very painful injury. Obviously, they
Speaker 3: probably have physio and the drugs and stuff that can
Speaker 3: make it better, and it's probably a little bit more
Speaker 3: important for him to be fit than me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's funny because he's playing through a
Speaker 1: Grade three AC joint injury and MCL sprain. But he's
Speaker 1: a no doubt for this weekend. But he still was
Speaker 1: excellent at the weekend, you know what I mean, he
Speaker 1: wasn't himself, but he was still so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have to question though, like how much
Speaker 3: of a full strength Seagulls team is it when they
Speaker 3: have Carl Lawton starting in the back row as well
Speaker 3: former warrior hook it?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I just I just spotted that.
Speaker 1: Actually Carl Laughton is officially in the back row and
Speaker 1: SAB's out, But who cares about that? So who is he?
Speaker 1: So he must be twur for four simply Corey Woodell.
Speaker 1: So twur for four would probably come in and then oh.
Speaker 3: God, well yeah I guess Josh, oh God interchange.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think him and Burbo just sort of switch
Speaker 1: into that that role there. But I I like Carlawton.
Speaker 1: He plays it like a crazy tenacity, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He plays his guts out whenever he's out there. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you've got the roosters who are still without a few
Speaker 1: names as well. Jared Wadeer Hargreaves is back, which is cool.
Speaker 1: He didn't retire by getting a suspension, which is nice.
Speaker 1: Victor Radley is in the extended squad. He might return,
Speaker 1: and instead you've got starting in Jersey thirteen Nafahu White too.
Speaker 1: To be honest, he looks like he's going to be
Speaker 1: a bloody good player of the future.
Speaker 2: Who White.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a young young Kiwi as well, I think
Speaker 3: only twenty one or something as well, so he's definitely
Speaker 3: got a got a good future ahead of him. I
Speaker 3: think the key one for me here though is sand
Speaker 3: and Smith and the seven jersey going up against DC
Speaker 3: obviously one of the best halves in the game. Last week,
Speaker 3: the Panther's kind of just targeted him and he. Don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong, he's a great player as well. But
Speaker 3: finals footy, you really need your your half back being
Speaker 3: that gun player on your team.
Speaker 1: Well mate, we'll just channel our big back rower Carl
Speaker 1: Lawton to run straight at him in Platinum. That's true.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I know, I was looking at
Speaker 1: the team as well. And if the Roosters do lose here,
Speaker 1: that'll be the last game of rugby league in the
Speaker 1: NRAL for Manu, for Manu and Kiri.
Speaker 2: Because he's off to the Super League. That's right. And yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Then still Tooperneur talks about going to the Bulldogs as well, I.
Speaker 2: Think so as Joseph su as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's going to rugby Yeah wow, so their entire
Speaker 1: back line, Yeah, it's going to be pulled to pieces.
Speaker 1: This is going to be the Tedesco show, No Sam Walker,
Speaker 1: He's going to be going off, Whereas I think for
Speaker 1: the Manly side it'll be the daily Cherry Evens show.
Speaker 2: And I just I love their back line and I
Speaker 2: love you.
Speaker 1: Know a short ball to how Homely Olatu as well.
Speaker 2: I love Parsica.
Speaker 1: He's starting to come into form and they've just got
Speaker 1: such quick guns across the park on either side. When
Speaker 1: this when Manly are up and flying, they are my
Speaker 1: favorite team to watch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cooler that try he scored to win the game.
Speaker 2: That was so yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I reckon. He top three fastest in the
Speaker 1: whole camp as.
Speaker 2: Well because his parents were sprinters, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: He used to be a sprinter as well. I think
Speaker 1: for Tonga. Well, actually a friend of mine, Matt, who
Speaker 1: is very much into his athletics coaching, we were watching
Speaker 1: him run. He's ah, he was definitely a sprinter. The
Speaker 1: way he runs is like anatomically pretty bloody outstanding. And
Speaker 1: then you've got young Lehi Hopwati as well, who's coming.
Speaker 1: He's still very very and he is absolutely dynamite as well.
Speaker 1: One of thirty seven kids of John Hopwati as well,
Speaker 1: and then of course you can't for your garrick. Tommy
Speaker 1: Tallows had an amazing season, and to be honest, this
Speaker 1: is probably the best Manly have looked in a few years.
Speaker 1: They've always been there with thereabouts, but right now I
Speaker 1: think they look pretty hot. And if I had to
Speaker 1: pick one of these four teams Manly, Roosters, Sharks or
Speaker 1: Cowboys two get through, I'd probably want it to be Manly. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. I just worry that they might have played
Speaker 1: their big game last week totally. Yeah, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: because they're gonna lose, but still yeah, so you reckon
Speaker 1: Roosters are gonna win as well?
Speaker 2: No sorry against Panthers aw Storm. Yeah, if they get through,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: So who are you gonna put for this week? I
Speaker 1: think the Seagulls will beat the Roosters. Yeah, pure The
Speaker 1: Sam Walker factor man so and so is Victor Radley
Speaker 1: in the middle there that's just such a giant piece
Speaker 1: to be missing out on. And then you see, yes,
Speaker 1: Tom Turbo's got injuries, but he still looks so good.
Speaker 1: I saw some week Victor Radley's on the extended bench,
Speaker 1: and I think that he might he might actually come on.
Speaker 1: I actually said that earlier, so yes, there is a
Speaker 1: chance he will be named. And to be honest, he's
Speaker 1: the kind of foaming at the mouth mad dog that
Speaker 1: would want to come in regardless. Yeah yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: I know. So your pick as the roosters, I'll go roosters.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm picking the seagulls. There probably the smart one,
Speaker 1: to be honest. Yeah, who knows? Man toss of a
Speaker 1: coin both of these games, to be honest. We will
Speaker 1: take a quick break on the Mad Monday Podcast when
Speaker 1: we return. Joel Harrison's got some hilarious content for us
Speaker 1: that he's been prepping, which is amazing. Also, we've got
Speaker 1: our tab game day.
Speaker 2: Good hunch. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Mad Monday Podcast. Thanks to our
Speaker 1: mates at four and twenty pis Yum. Earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: a great new Zealander Sophie Acklan, which is this has
Speaker 1: been well covered now on the agenda. We did it
Speaker 1: on the Big Show the other day as well, but
Speaker 1: she put together every single Warriors game that the ACC commentated.
Speaker 1: She then put who was commentating the game and the
Speaker 1: win loss record for each commentator. Now the man who
Speaker 1: came out on top was pants man Joel Harrison. You
Speaker 1: commentated two games, you called two games, and both of
Speaker 1: which were wins. Now, what is it's your secret? Gels
Speaker 1: are commentating a win for the Warriors in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: I feel like what I did was sort of similar
Speaker 3: to what the Warriors used to thrive off. I kind
Speaker 3: of jumped in there when I was needed around Origin time,
Speaker 3: that's right, and Cowboys and bronc Cowboys and Broncos in
Speaker 3: the Origin time. And I remember that the Cowboys one
Speaker 3: was three or four days after they had just played
Speaker 3: Origin one, so three of their six Origin players didn't play,
Speaker 3: and then we just pumped them forty to twelve.
Speaker 1: And then the Broncos it was.
Speaker 3: When they had half their injuries and no painhass, no
Speaker 3: Carrigan or Walsh.
Speaker 1: So right, I like to think I just got Reynolds,
Speaker 1: I think as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no Reynolds as well, So it was Warrior's only
Speaker 3: just got a win as well.
Speaker 2: So I think you know, just timed it well.
Speaker 1: So your key is to make sure that you're commentating
Speaker 1: games against teams during Origin.
Speaker 3: Yep, with heaps of players out. Yeah, one hundred percent
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the success.
Speaker 1: Whereas my mistake was accidentally putting my hand up for
Speaker 1: as many commentaries as possible because I love commentating the Warriors.
Speaker 1: You've got Ben Hurley called six with four wins in
Speaker 1: a draw and you know the ones that so the draw.
Speaker 1: So he four wins, one draw against many and the
Speaker 1: one that he lost was when we lost to Bulldogs
Speaker 1: thirteen twelve and oh my goodness, and we should have
Speaker 1: won because Jame and Salmon almost killed to Marti Mardin,
Speaker 1: So Hurley kind of had.
Speaker 2: To be one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two points in either game, Yeah, like a point
Speaker 1: in either game were Oh wow, that's incredible. You've got
Speaker 1: Maniah Actually we'll go to die Henwood Necks, who called
Speaker 1: thirteen here the most for the season. Six wins, six losses,
Speaker 1: one draw. That is right down the middle. And then
Speaker 1: you've got Maniah in myself we each called twelve. Maniah
Speaker 1: called three wins.
Speaker 2: What a loser? I called two wins? What an even
Speaker 2: bigger loser?
Speaker 1: Two wins out of twelve games? That is sole destroying staff. Joel, Seriously,
Speaker 1: in your heart of hearts, am I to blame for
Speaker 1: the Warrior season?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You could.
Speaker 3: Yeah pretty much say that, and I'm just looking here.
Speaker 3: The two wins that you did have as well was
Speaker 3: against the rabbit O's when they were just.
Speaker 1: Absolutely awful at the start. He smoked them four that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was pretty dicey. It was six four at half
Speaker 1: time or something.
Speaker 3: And then the second one against the Dolphins where we
Speaker 3: had like tamed to a picky I think he was
Speaker 3: out as well. I think, Yeah, Moilo gram Tel for debut,
Speaker 3: I remember that one. I love just one, that's right.
Speaker 3: That was round twelve. So the entire back half of
Speaker 3: the season and more. I commentated so many games and
Speaker 3: not one single win. So I mean, I think I'll
Speaker 3: do the Grand Final. I'm not sure who's doing it.
Speaker 1: We will be calling it on the ACC on Sky
Speaker 1: Sports to keep an eye on our socials for that.
Speaker 1: And there's no real way I can blow that the
Speaker 1: Warriors is going to lose the Grand Final regardless of
Speaker 1: if I'm there or not. Yeah, because I'm not in it.
Speaker 1: So your secret is just a yeah, do it during
Speaker 1: Orange time. That's such an idiot putting my hand up
Speaker 1: for so many Warriors games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, to be fair, the only reason I do
Speaker 3: it is when sex people can't well, that's.
Speaker 1: Like everyone's like, oh, just get dying, be in to
Speaker 1: do them all, and then me and and I are like,
Speaker 1: well no, that's they very much have first DIBs, and
Speaker 1: if they can't do it, that's when we do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's kind of how it works out. And if
Speaker 1: I can't do it, I can't do it, that's when
Speaker 1: we get real desperate.
Speaker 2: Bring the Pantsman and the Warriors, bring it home.
Speaker 1: Joel, you sent through quite a good thing this morning
Speaker 1: to the Mad Monday group chat that we're running.
Speaker 2: It is the was it snow thirteen?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the snow thirteen.
Speaker 3: I saw some guy in the whatever, the Hallow Sport
Speaker 3: Punters and Dribblers, the Hellowpi podcast, they have this big
Speaker 3: thing and yeah, the people just they put a lot
Speaker 3: of time into it. Because it's like a proper graphic
Speaker 3: designed post. We could probably post this on.
Speaker 2: Shared on the story. Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and these players you're about to list all people
Speaker 1: who have had sort of run ins with a class drugs.
Speaker 2: I think they are.
Speaker 1: I think the majority of them are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, presumactually all seventeen must be there, including the coach
Speaker 3: as well. So you go fullback Ben Powder, it's Ben Barber,
Speaker 3: Ben Barber, yep, Blake Fergus Snort on the wing peered
Speaker 3: up with Josh Edo.
Speaker 1: Crack is absolutely and to be honest, Blake Fergus Nort
Speaker 1: he'd have a hard time actually snorting stuff at the
Speaker 1: moment is absolutely wrecked and he's doing a lot of
Speaker 1: TikTok live that it's embarrassing.
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Oh, poor guy?
Speaker 3: And the Sinners it's actually quite a good team as well,
Speaker 3: to be fair, but you've got Trail Litt and Valon
Speaker 3: Line Homes and the.
Speaker 2: Can I just say, already superstar team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wouldn't mind. It gets better as well. You've got
Speaker 3: Cam Munted and the sex Are how good with Goeye?
Speaker 3: John's at seven yeah great? And the nine Brandon Smith
Speaker 3: and then the props you got there, Sam Bumpus and
Speaker 3: Jesse Bong which.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's very experienced. And Brandon Smith was actually my
Speaker 1: favorite of all of the names, just because it's so simple.
Speaker 3: It works. Sean Line and the bat Crow I can't
Speaker 3: I don't know. He's the one I couldn't remember.
Speaker 1: If you can't remember him, you've got like an encyclopedic
Speaker 1: knowledge of NRAL players doing bad stuff.
Speaker 2: I must have missed it on my spiritsheet.
Speaker 3: But Sean Line, it just works kind of with his
Speaker 3: name this and Sean Line and Kevin Rochter obviously Kevin
Speaker 3: Rockter and Jesse Bong which is infamous incident called in
Speaker 3: security cameras Greg Blow in the thirteen.
Speaker 1: And you've got that Greg Bird.
Speaker 2: That's a real crowbar, Greg Blow.
Speaker 1: And then on the bench Mitch kittled that's supposed to
Speaker 1: be Mitch Kitty right, Kayln Penger, Kaylen PingER is great
Speaker 1: Windle Liquor, which is supposed to be Windle sailor.
Speaker 2: Right, there is a real like liquor as an l
Speaker 2: i Q. You are right, yeah?
Speaker 1: And then Rack Walsh for Reese Walsh, Oh he got yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. And then yeah on the bench kit Man,
Speaker 1: Paul Cartel, Rave Taylor, Danny Brooks and car Michael Munt
Speaker 1: with Brian Kitcher as the coach. Kitcher that is a
Speaker 1: really really, really good side. Do you think there's a
Speaker 1: correlation between doing a lot of drugs and being good
Speaker 1: at footy? Yeah, well that's your strategy. A yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: Actually far up.
Speaker 3: Maybe I could be in the team somewhere if they
Speaker 3: need a water boy, I could just jump in there.
Speaker 2: Joel Harrison, what would your drug name be? Though? Joel Harrisniff?
Speaker 1: Joel Harris Sniff absolutely together with the pants Man. That's
Speaker 1: a great couple of nicknames. You're rocking there, man, It's
Speaker 1: time now for our tab good hunch. This is two
Speaker 1: games that, as we've discussed, they're both a flip of
Speaker 1: a coin.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go anywhere there. Who's going to?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the last thing I want to do is
Speaker 1: see like the Cowboys put on a clinic against the
Speaker 1: Sharks and be.
Speaker 2: Flying and me be annoyed about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think the way I'd be bidding this weekend
Speaker 1: is I would be going. All four of these teams
Speaker 1: can score a lot of points, so I'd be going
Speaker 1: anytime try scorers. I'd probably be targeting the Sydney Roosters v.
Speaker 1: Manly Seagles game personally, just because I love watching the
Speaker 1: Seagulls and I'd go for I.
Speaker 2: Like, oh or would I?
Speaker 1: Molly Taylor is just such a I had him as
Speaker 1: the hunch last week, yeah, because he had scored in
Speaker 1: so many games. He'd scored in six straight day games
Speaker 1: or something they were playing during the day and it
Speaker 1: was like his one game that he didn't score. So
Speaker 1: I feel like Molly Taylor would definitely score against that
Speaker 1: right side of the Cowboys, which has been pretty shocking defensively.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's actually a bidding tactic which my mate's been
Speaker 3: doing recently, where you do it live and you can
Speaker 3: jump obviously first try score and stuff, but you can
Speaker 3: do like try score or something right or fifth however
Speaker 3: many and the odds because it's live while they shoot
Speaker 3: up quite a lot, so you can get he got
Speaker 3: on Durell skeleton at like thirteen dollars to be the
Speaker 3: sixth tri scorer. And when you say he does it live,
Speaker 3: I think you have to do it after the fifth
Speaker 3: try is scored.
Speaker 2: But isn't it just next try? Is that available as
Speaker 2: an option? I look at it. Oh wow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, there is hundreds of options in the new
Speaker 1: tab at oh wow.
Speaker 3: But is here a player you want to go for
Speaker 3: an individual score? I see there's a boosted one here
Speaker 3: at four ors twenty for Dom Young and James Tedesco
Speaker 3: both to score.
Speaker 1: That's a good shout because it's going to be the
Speaker 1: James Tedesco show. I do believe, so I do think.
Speaker 1: I think those guys could both be scoring. To be honest,
Speaker 1: A real guilty pleasure of mine is I really like
Speaker 1: Ola Kwatsu because and they'll be targeting the halves Kerry yeah,
Speaker 1: and sand and Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the DCE shortboard Ola Kwazu when they've got
Speaker 1: you know, Garrick and usually sar outside like lining up.
Speaker 1: So if I was to do a multi, it would
Speaker 1: be all a Kauatu and someone like Alehi Hopuati or
Speaker 1: a Kohler to score. Yeah, that's probably what I'll be doing.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: What about we do one from each team just to
Speaker 1: really go straight down the line. Do you want to
Speaker 1: go roosters, yep, I'll go to disco. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Ola Quai too cool. Let's lock those two. And so
Speaker 1: if you do that right now, Ola Kuwatu just gonna
Speaker 1: do it live on the pod.
Speaker 2: That'll be quite good.
Speaker 1: Odds dereckon Oli Quatu is all around threes or something. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: which is quite hard when you think about it for
Speaker 1: a back rower. Let me see here, Ola Kuwatu chuck
Speaker 1: those two together. Seven dollars ninety two. Oh I love
Speaker 1: that it's tasty. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: That's good because yeah, I think Teddy would just be
Speaker 3: running the running the card all game.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm looking forward to it all right. Well that
Speaker 1: you have that as your game date, good hunch. Don't
Speaker 1: forget RA eighteen also a bit responsibly and we're gonna
Speaker 1: putting our hundred dollars of TB bonus cash onto that,
Speaker 1: so when we'll be getting back six hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: two dollars which will then go to you the ACC community,
Speaker 1: which is bloody good.
Speaker 2: Anything else to add, Joel, Nah, that's all.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking forward for another epic weekend of finals footy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two big games, all blacks as well, can't bloody wear
Speaker 1: and of course a whole hours and hours of horse
Speaker 1: racing too. Thank you very much for listening to the
Speaker 1: Mad Monday podcast. Big shout out to export and also
Speaker 1: four and twenty pies. We will catch you next week.
