WEBVTT - "Shaun Johnson 2+" 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.000 I'm good afternoon, and welcome back to the Mad Monday Podcast, 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:12.840 brought to you as always by four and twenty PI. 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.000 It's the perfect at home snack for watching rugby league. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.360 My name is Tin Monnayawi. I'm joined by Edin Fanua 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:24.520 Kezy this afternoon afternoon crsshagging on Matte really good, really 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.880 good man. I I mean I have just looked down 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:29.360 at our schedule and seen that you and I are 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.320 commentating this Sunday, Yeah, the Dolphins. I've also looked at 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.800 our record and that we've never commentated a loss all season. 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.480 We've never commentated a work. Sorry there was another loss 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.519 right there. And I've also looked at hundreds of comments 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.239 and texts over the last couple of months saying ban 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:51.200 those two from doing commentaries together. Yes, completely, Yeah, unfortunately 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.160 been and Diana available. He's stuck with us. If anyone's 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.040 did the illusions how this works? If they aren't available, 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.160 we come on. That's one hundred see how it We're Yeah, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.080 and did you hear that people were saying talking about 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.720 the axis of Evil at the game on Friday night? 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.360 So when we took on the Eels, Yeah, you were 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.720 commentating that's right, which was a massive commentator's curse. Yes. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.039 Plus Matt Heath was in attendance and drinking red wine. Yes, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.840 and he did a post about the penon WI did 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.440 a post about the Pens from the ground. Yes, and 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.320 G Lane was an atendant. So the g Lane curse. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.320 The Warriors never had a chance. Why Why Like I 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.080 am fully prepared to just be like I am a curse. Yeah. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.680 But however, last season we commentated allmost a shitload of 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.440 games and we will win it. Yeah. But do I 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.120 just stand down from the commentary and just you just 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.920 do them all? No? Because I also have commentated eight games, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.600 seven losses, one win, so there's no win there either. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.160 It was extra deflating driving out to Mount Smart, walking 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.639 in there, going up to the thing, seeing Trent Barrett 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.840 going in a photo on the field. But join us 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.920 for tonight's game and then just boom, another huge commentator's curse. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.840 Game lost massively. Yeah. I just I know that it's 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.880 a fan base that's hurting, and so they're looking for 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.920 anything to blame it on. The Other thing is I 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.120 hate when the Warriors, like up until last year, they 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.280 would always be like, oh, Warriors have a dismal record, 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.000 against this team. It's like, yeah, we have a dismal 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.440 record against most teams, every single team, Yeah, pretty much. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.080 So it's not like a massive particularly during that COVID 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.560 era that we've already digested the Friday game. I just 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.560 wanted to bring up the old the curse thing there. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.200 We're here to break down the team list that is 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.440 going to get us back on track, because not even 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.120 just not even just mathematically, I think I've been too 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.280 down on the team, thinking we cannot make the eight. Yeah, 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.800 but that's because people are be doing in correct maths. Yeah, 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.480 because we can't. We have the buy at the end, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.400 your bloody tack those points on. Now. The long and 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.560 short of it is, we do need to win every 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.560 single game from here on out. Four games so far 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.680 plus to buy. If you look at the table which 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.440 I'm bringing up right now, we're thirteenth on twenty one points. 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.320 So you tack the buy onto this. I know we 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.119 do this every week. We're up to twenty three, which 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.960 puts us in eleventh place. We win, we are on 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.280 twenty five and that is good enough for ninth. Yeah, right, okay, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.640 so we're just knocking on the door there. Yeah, And 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.000 that's after this week, mind you. So I don't think 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.440 it's ridiculous. And I have already seen a few Ossie 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.280 pundits who actually know rugby league say not only could 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.200 they make the eight, I think the Warriors will still 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.959 make the eighth. Wow, which I think could be clickbait 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.400 absolutely because they know that Kiwis will click on that. Absolutely. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.200 But these are the same like do you remember the 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.760 start of the season, Aussie pundits were all about the Warriors. Yeah, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.760 they were predicting massive things for them. So and I 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.320 think we are all still predicting. But until we are 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.480 running out of back line that isn't I don't know. Well, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.760 this is the back line that has been run out 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.600 against Wayne Bennett's Dolphins, which I would like to remind 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.600 you are ninth so and they're on a downward slide. 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.360 But they scored thirty whatever points against the Roosters at 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.680 the weekend. They are just so hard to be on 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.320 any given day they could score so many points against us. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.440 Oh yeah, And so the Warriors teamless reads Dusty Shanes, 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.080 Nicol Klushta, He's going to be in number one, Dell 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.920 and Wa Tennis Lesnia will be and the number two 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.520 Jersey ali Leta attains his center spot, but Moeler Graham 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.160 Toolfer has been dropped, so Roger's in there, and then 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.000 the Kazi club comes back on the other wing, Roger 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.440 back to center. This is obviously I wouldn't say a 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.560 vote of no confidence in Mayler Graham Toolf for but 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:32.120 I just think, I mean, he's he's been dropped in there. Well, 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.280 he's had two games for the what maybe three, and 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.599 from what I remember, his debut was excellent, as a 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.120 lot of those players who have come on for us 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.920 this year has been been excellent. And his next game 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.560 against the Eels was one of the worst games I've 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.880 seen a Warrior playing a long time. He just missed 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.719 so many tackles, dropped the ball so much, and it 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.919 was just a clear example of a young Fewler not 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.880 quite being ready yet pas needed and like all of 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.520 a sudden he's playing center in a game where it's 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.160 must win and it's a pack stadium, you know what 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.720 I mean, Like he just wasn't quite ready so and 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.400 leaked a couple I feel like one of those tries, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.280 uh just comes straight through his channel and they were 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.960 just through. I was saying on the Monday podcast. When 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.560 we went down by like two three tries very quickly, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.720 I basically tourn my back on the game and hit 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.839 the buffet. We were in the corporate box. Yeah, I 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.320 was gonna come with you guys in the corporate box 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.359 as well, but I was just too down, like with 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.479 the realization with thirty minutes to go that we weren't 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.880 coming back. And then all of a sudden, you've got 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.599 thirty minutes of trying to like simultaneously make the audience 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.640 laugh and also make because Die is gutted. Die his 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.360 emotions are one hundred percent reliant on how the Warriors go. Yeah, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.159 I'm just saying he drops the lip when you two 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.280 commentate that. He's very proficional obviously, but I know how 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.040 much it means to him, you know what I mean. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.279 And so thirty minutes of trying to like, you know, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.320 read out deck jokes on three two three sects or whatever, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.479 and yeah, you know, have some fun. You did get 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.640 like an eight minute street right at the end. Yes, 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.160 but it was sort of like, it's so hard to 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.400 get excited for that when you know, well I got angry. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.400 It was like, oh, so now we're scoring points. Oh, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.240 just quickly while we were on here as well. I 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.120 didn't talk about it Die. What was the light situation 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.880 going on in in the box? I've never seen Die 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.960 that worried before what was happening. So I showed up 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.440 to that little commentary cupboard and the lights were off 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:12.800 and I was like why and I turned the lights on. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.320 Oh that's bitter. And then two minutes later, a guy 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.640 in full eels uniform comes down and goes, hey, can 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.760 we turn those lights off? And I was like, oh, yeah, 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.440 no worries because your light switch controls our coaches box 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.480 and Trent Barrett doesn't want the lights on because when 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.120 the camera cuts to them, they want the lights off 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.520 so you can't see them because they've been hounding him 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.520 obviously because hes given the sack and they're playing like shit. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.719 And then all of a sudden, it was just like 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.839 this amazing opportunity to if they and we've got the 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.919 live feed, if they cut to the coach's box, I 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.560 could flick the lights on and off a few times 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.200 and it would be hilarious. Die was not for it 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.080 at all, yeah, because I think he was picturing all 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.160 this hard work we've gone through to finally been commentating 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.360 a Warriors game at Mount Smart and then me ruining 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.320 it with a light gag. So were the lights? The 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.919 lights were off for your commentary? Off the commentary because 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.080 they want when they cut to the coach's box, they 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:04.760 wanted it to be dark in this he couldn't really 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.000 see them to like to not encourage the cameras to 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.960 keep cutting back and then but imagine they cut to 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.240 Trent Barrett and just one light on light off. That 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.960 would have been hilarious. I reckon on off, then just 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.640 when he loses the plot, back on again. As soon 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.760 as he goes the fuckers going hold of these lights, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.480 that's when you flick them back on. But the good 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.320 thing about this light switches, it's gonna be like that 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.640 for every game. Yeah, So at some point, Craig Belly, 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.560 we flecked the lights. If he comes back next season, 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.400 I'm not sure what he's doing, but or we just 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.680 peck a moment, recky Stuart. He sits on the sideline, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.920 he does see because he's had the lights. He's had 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.600 the lights before and he's not about that. But next 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.160 time there's a coach and maybe we're pumping them. Yeah, 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.160 little light switch with have sandstorm ready to go on 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.280 our commentary or if we know that we're about to 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.560 get kicked out of there again. Wow, exactly, and for 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.200 some reason the relationship between us and then gets really bad. Yeah, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.960 Chanelle Harris to will be in the number six jersey. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.560 And actually, because the news came out after we recorded 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.080 the podcast on Monday, we haven't talked about this. Sean 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.600 the fourth last game for the Warriors, fourth last game 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:15.040 for Sean Johnson. How instant reaction from you? Well, were 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:20.480 you surprised that? My first gut reaction was absolutely heartbroken 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.880 for myself because I'd just spent forty minutes on the 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.880 podcast and I don't think he's going to retire because 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.560 because I was on Mad Monday straight afterwards, Oh, right 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.600 straight after, I was like, he's been he's had contracts 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.719 thrown at him from other teams, so presumably he's been 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.600 given a contract and we've found out since that yea 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.920 he had from the Warriors. Yeah, And I was like, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.120 when someone puts a contract with hundreds of thousands of 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.920 dollars in front of you, you don't turn it down. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.439 Wells walked out of that podca, boy was it? We 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.200 don't turn it down. Yeah, that's right. Sean Johnson doesn't care. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.120 I said this the lane on the Gender podcast. I 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.840 was like, it's a ordering amount of money. He's like, oh, 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.280 it's not that much. I said, if I walked in 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.160 here and asked you for they just paid Seawan Johnson, 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.960 your eyes would water. It's not that much. What kind 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.440 of a bullshit? Commented, that's a huge amount of money. Yeah, 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.480 that's a huge amount of money. And then what I 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.920 realized actually was there's something I've known for a long time. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.800 How rich you are isn't how much money you have, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.200 it's how much money you can say no to. That's 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.080 a really good point. And he can say no to 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.440 a lot of money. Evidently there's such a good point. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.800 Has done. He's also got other options as well, so 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.440 God bliss him. I think athletes don't often get a 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.079 chance to decide when they want to retire, So if 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.360 you do, then you should. Yeah. And also all time 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.560 great Hall of Fame warrior. He's one of those like 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.240 Benji Marshall types of saying this. I think I was 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.600 on Hadaki I was saying he's one of those guys like, yeah, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.560 Benji Marshall, I can't even think of Stacey or but 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.800 you type in Skucks into YouTube and a half an 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.800 hour highlights package is going to come up. Or sunny Bill. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.960 You're at a party and someone doesn't know about league, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.679 and you go, have you seen Shaw Johnson? Go? Nah, 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.319 you fire up a twenty minute highlights but he have 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.480 Sewan Johnson. Yeah, he's one of those guys that you 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.959 show highlights of to really showcase how fucking amazing the game, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.720 the game campaign awesome it can be. So he's one 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.920 of the coolest players that's ever but he also hasn't really, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.880 in my opinion, lived up to that potential yet, which 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.120 last season was awesome. Yeah, and I think it's his injury. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.120 He must be injured this year. Yeah, he must be. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.280 And knowing that next year it'll be similar to this year, 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.240 you do. This is how every athlete's career ends, that 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.200 all of a sudden start getting injuries that they used 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.679 to bounce back from and that don't anymore. But you're right, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.079 he's been involved in every incredible Warriors moment for the 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.440 last decade, and you know, all of the highlights have 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.400 been played around you know, him steping dudes and scoring 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.240 tries for the Kiwis for the Warriors. I think was 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.800 it him that put the kick in for a man 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.720 that caught it and did a backflip and then through 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:53.360 the I think it probably was, Yeah, I think it 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.320 was so. Yeah. He has left a massive mark on 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.920 on the Warriors organization, the Warriors club. It's it's a 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.160 weird one because Tomodie Martin's now been dropped. But you 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.720 would presume that he's going to be the halfback for 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.600 the Warriors next year. How no, no, how early? It 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.400 is too early to just give a teenage of the 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:19.120 keys to the entire franchise. Oh, Jet Cleary, weel then 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.240 and say you see this, this is yours now fucking 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.600 save us? Or do we give it to Luke Metcalf 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.080 and say yeah he's that. Yeah, definitely. He said he's 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.360 always wanted to play half back. Oh really yeah. So 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.480 I don't know. I think there's a few options. It's 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.120 not like we're short on anything. Well, no, we're not 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.080 short on options. What we're short on is having a 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.880 chance to play these options together for an extended period 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.280 of time. There's so many interruptions with injuries. How do 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.760 you think it plays out for the next four weeks. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:52.040 Do you think that him announcing his retirement at Bolsters 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.480 the Boys? Do you think it's a distraction. I like 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.480 to think I just called him the boys by the way. 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.400 Yeah it's a good Yeah, you know, I'm part of 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.440 the Boys as West Sweet. We can do it. How 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.079 do you think we go for the next four weeks? 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.200 I reckon, Well, certainly, the impact it had on me 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:07.600 and I think I can speak on behalf of the 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.800 rest of the team was I was like, Fuck, we're 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.200 gonna start winning. I feel like, all of a sudden, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.040 Shawn Johnson's stepping down four games left a chance to 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.400 really end his career and like with a high, not 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.079 that he hasn't finished on a high last I mean 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.040 last year was amazing. He's and to go from pretty 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.960 much the Delian when and Kadam pong Is stealing it 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.280 and retiring a year later is pretty crazy. Well yeah, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.000 but people were calling for him to retire the year 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.440 before that. Oh and I was probably part of for 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.160 a wee bit there when we were going horrifically. Yeah, 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.520 that's just the stuff you do when you're emotional after 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.920 another Warriors lost. But I feel like, hopefully it does 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.040 make our players stand up and at least just play 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.480 with some heart and like make those tackles that we've 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.120 been sort of half aass on and yeah, just things 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.240 like that. It makes us play a bit better. And yeah, 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.840 it's a theme for the rest of the seasons. Send 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.520 Sja off in style, absolutely, because you want to be 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.360 part of those highlights in that last game and those 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.800 last few games, you know, they are all I mean, 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.160 there's only one more home game left, but that's a sellout, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.959 I reckon. The other ones are going to draw massive 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.160 crowds because we travel well. But yeah, I think that 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.000 Shawn Johnson is going to go well over these next 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.280 four weeks. I hope he stays healthy for these four weeks. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.320 You're saying you're gonna bring him into your Super Coach 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.120 Team final send off. I wouldn't. I would think about it. Yeah, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.840 I've thought about it, but that would mean dropping Nathan Cleary. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.359 Ah nah, you know so anyway, we're still naming the teamless. Yeah, 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.679 the Ford Packs unchanged Adam Wadegan Barnett MA to Kurt 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.679 Dylan Walker at thirteen and then the bench fretty lastic, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.040 Tom Aley, Jess Tevanga. Good to see him back. From 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.800 that hamstring injury and Liquor Hala Sema is going to 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.000 be on the bench as well, which I think is great. 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.679 He's had a great season so far. Liquor, Yeah, he's 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.679 been great. They're just the three games that he's played, well, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.600 the three games for eight minutes that he's played, Like, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.520 just use them. We've got these fellows. Just freaking use them, 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.880 you know. Yeah, for sure still does my head. But anyway, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.160 he won't get on the field, soorry about it. Eighteenth 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.920 man is not on your sheet, but eighteenth man is 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:09.160 to mighty Mutton. Interesting, do again, what does that tell you? Well, 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.800 to be on nothing? Yeah, there's absolutely nothing to be 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.719 read to that. He's just a utility player, isn't He 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.720 can play a cover a lot of cars. Ever tells 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.160 me anything? Is that? Maybe? Is it a way of 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.160 being like, hey, you're still one of the most important 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.400 players to us, and light of the news that Shawan 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.920 Johnson's retiring is with he's just like keeping him on 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.440 the hook. Yeah, keeping him as we say, you know, like, hey, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.680 you're so important to us that when me and the 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.800 missus on the rocks, right, I have a feeling next 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.040 year she's not going to be around, all right, trust me, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.320 trust me. Now, I can't have you in the changing kids. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.280 Obviously you understand that it's going to be too political, 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.080 but I still want you on the team. So just 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.560 hang around, stay in the corner, and all it's going 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.760 to take is two hit injuries and then boom you're back. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.880 That's right. You could be back this week. I don't know, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.880 but you could be, if you know, depending on how 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.200 things go. So yeah, I think to Mighty Martin, I 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:02.480 don't know if you're gonna have a side piece. You 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.000 could do worse than oh, absolutely, And both on the 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.680 field and in the sheets. The thing that worries me is, sorry, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.680 that was disrespectful the Dolphins. Sorry, it was really disable 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:19.400 to carry on. Is the Dolphins team? Just I know 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.120 they've been on a bit of a slide. I'll be honest. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.760 I was surprised to see them outside of the top 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.720 eight when I check the standings just then. But they, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.480 like the Sharks, real hot start and then they've just 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.360 slowly tapering, but not fully tapering off. They are still 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.840 putting up a massive fight against these sides. No, in 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.000 this team that I'm about to read you, it's not 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.000 missing any massive players, so the hammer at full wack. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.000 Who when I look at that, I have visions already 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.960 of him tearing us to bits and him just doing 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.240 the scoring and then doing the arm thing that he does, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.160 which is so cool. By the way, Jemina Suckle is 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.120 going to be on the wing if he plays. If 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:57.640 he plays, he what did he ankle? Really nasty ankle. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.400 But I think he has to get through training literally 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.200 today and then should know by tonight whether or not 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:07.240 he's playing. Jake Evarillo, who's been going well, he's probably 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.320 our weak point to run through. He lets in a 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.400 lot of tries. Herbsley Farnslington Worth the third he will 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.760 be in the fourth Jersey. And Jack Bostock, who's been 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.880 going very well this year. A little whipp it that dude, 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.960 that whole left side. Isaiah Katara, who's still very young, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.160 is such a gun. He's got that left side clicking man. Yeah. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.920 And Jack Bostock has been scoring so many tries things 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:31.880 to that. I reckon he's gonna be a gun next year. Yeah, 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.120 I think so too. Cody Niicarrima is in at the 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.920 sixth Jersey. The forward pack is Jesse Brominch, Max Plath, 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.560 who's starting at hooker. He started the season when he 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.520 first came in at five eighth. He's been playing in 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.000 the second row. He's been playing lock. He played a lot. Yeah, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.000 and this is for a Wayne Bennett coach team. I 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.480 love that. So that tells you Max Plath is a 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.000 rugby league player one hundred percent. I don't care what 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.320 Jersey's got on. Just get him out there. And the 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.800 funny thing, he played in the halves his entire like 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.880 junior age group and everything. He's a half back in 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.760 five eight. He's just a big bastards as the thing, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.120 he's a rectangle, but he's also really skilled and he 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.360 can tackle really well, so he's just the full package. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.119 Shawn rugby league player retired professional boxer Tavita punk I 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.800 Junior will be starting in the number ten Jersey and 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.560 like I'm going to take another victory lap. He had 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.120 brought him in as soon as he came back out 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.600 of retirement and he's gone great guns for me. He's 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.680 injured now, isn't he, Tavenda? Yeah? Is he not playing 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.920 this week? Did he play last week? I don't think 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.520 he did. I think he had an injury. We'll double 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.720 check this after the ad break, we'll fact check, fact 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:33.639 check right now. Fell Connelly, Limouelu and Kenny Bromich is 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.359 going to be in the thirteen Jersey. I've got a 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.480 hell of a bench. Aaron Keeley, Mark Nichols, Ray Stone 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.199 who I don't think I could tell a part if 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.200 they're standing next to each other. And then Shaan O'Sullivan, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.479 the teacher's bet is going to be in there as well. Manaia. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.679 Who the hell is Aarn Keeley? I don't know. I 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.120 bet he's a gun though? What if Old Bennett likes him. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.359 Tavita punk I Jr. Did not play last week. He 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.320 has been named to start this week. I think he 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.800 just had a one week off situation. So yeah, that 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.920 is the teamless as I look at it. I am 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.960 gonna be one hundred percent honest with you and you 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.119 at home. I think we're gonna lose this week. I 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:11.880 think we I think we're going to as well. And 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.600 can I just say I really and we both do 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.480 we really hope that we're proven wrong, but just based 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.480 on how the Warriors played against the Eels, based on 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.840 like Cossi coming in on the wing and Roger's shifting 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.199 back to center. Like, I don't feel super positive, but 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.679 if the boys can step up and really, you know, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.200 step up to the streets, step up to the streets, 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.320 and honor of Seann Johnson in his final four games, 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.560 yeah shit, it would really just get And also honor 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:42.399 the on the treaty. But honor the treaty first of 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.600 all on the jersey, yeah. Second of all, honor your 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.760 fucking put it. And then finally after that, honor the 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.720 fans who have broken the record for the first time 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.320 an entire season has been sold out like that is incredible, 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.520 is incredible. It also means that you can't buy tickets anymore. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.440 That's how sell outs work. But thankfully, thanks to four 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.160 and twenty we've got your chance with this is sew 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.720 by the way, that's great man. Yes, the four and 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.160
