WEBVTT - "Reece Walsh Got Murdered"

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, good day and welcome to the Mad Monday podcast,

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>normally out on that day, Monday, but today is Thursday

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>because we're coming in hot off after Origin Game one

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>from Sydney's a Course Stadium where New South Wales got

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely murdered by Queensland. But just to let you know that,

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>we are bought today to today by four and twenty pies,

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the perfect at home snack for watching rugby league, and

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I had one at about eleven thirty last night. And

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.199

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Station Odin Ryan. My name's Ben Hurley and I am

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>joined today by our producer and rugby league savant, Adam Boumanner.

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>How's it going man? How are you going this morning?

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>It was was a bit of a late one for

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>both of us last night.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't it. Yeah?

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Backing up Off after you know it never starts on

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>time Origin, there's always a lot of build up. I

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>actually missed some of it because I was sitting task

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>master this week, so I missed the start. So I

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know if gus guild did his infield in ground

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>in gold poetry like he normally does.

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 2>No, there was none of that. It just kind of

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>definitely lacked a little bit at the start. It was

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 2>really weird watching. Obviously, we get here about you know,

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 2>like an hourish beforehand, just to make sure everything works,

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and I was sitting here watching the build up. There

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>was bugger all people in the stadium and it was

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>a really weird thing because most game ones of Origin

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>absolutely heaving and it been a Wednesday night, had been

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a first head out as well. It was just it

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 2>was just a little bit odd to start the game

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>on both points.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it was a sellout and it did

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.279
<v Speaker 1>look good once the game was going.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 3>But I have.

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Heard that because of the one sided nature of Origin

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>over the last well fifteen years, apparently numbers viewing numbers

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>are dropping a little bit. So it might actually pay

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for New South Wales to put a decent side on

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the park because they didn't last night. They got absolutely

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>destroyed thirty eight points to ten.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it it wasn't very favorable. Another thing that

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>New South Wales could do is have a coach that

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you had to coach and possibly run some plays you know,

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I know, the two you and I were talking about

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>on the commentary. It was just a little bit weird,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, even just how different. I guess it's not

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>really I'm on your side of the fence. I'm a

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Queen's lander as well, yes, but it was a very

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>odd scene how they just had nothing going on. And

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>then when you compare to the other side, you know,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it's quite easy to forget too that on their sideline

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>as Jonathan Thurston, which I reckon would just be pulling

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>strings from there. But they just New South Wales just

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of looked like they were missing something or they

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>just didn't know what each other were doing, or it

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>just wasn't It wasn't smooth or cohesive at all.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Was it? No into?

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean to quote ourselves from the commentary last night,

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>it did look like the Warriors from about four years ago,

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>where on the fifth tackle they clearly had no plays

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was just a bit of improvisational football. I mean,

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Jerome Leui, that's kind of where he lives best in

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>some ways, and you know, he created some chances and

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>well created one of the only two tries in New

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>South Wales were able to get over the line. But

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it looked very clunky, It looked very sloppy, It looked

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>very messy, and it was ineffective.

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, massively. And I think it was quite hard as well.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It must have been really hard actually for Nico Hines.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>He finally gets a chance, he's finally stepping up, and

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>just nothing like, you know, the forward pack wasn't really

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>rolling forward. You could just see after what you know,

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 2>quite early on. Obviously they go one down, and we'll

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>get to that in a moment, but they just looked

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a little bit like, you know, a lot was taken

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>out of them, and then they weren't getting forward ball,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and then you just have these two halves laughing about

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and then when you look at their tries, they were

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>just seemed a little bit lucky and flukey. It was

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>just it was just odd. I reckon odd is kind

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 2>of like a good way to put their performance.

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so let's talk about that going one down. Reese

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Walsh was or he was murdered. He was murdered, I think,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>is what's on the thing they've prepared for me here, Adam.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>High shot by Joseph Sali and I don't think there

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>was any mounts in it. But it was terrible technique.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You just can't in the modern game not look where

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you're tackling. You can't have your head down and lead

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>with your shoulder. His head rocketed back and amazingly passes Hia,

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>but on the field it was a Category one head

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>knock and so wasn't allowed back in the game and

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Joseph Suli was us to leave.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Never, that's confusing. You know, there's rugby is more confusing

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>than the league at the best of times. But the

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that you can, you know, you can Pastorgia and then

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>still fail the category one, which kind of makes sense

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>because early on in the game, when he was getting

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>walked off the field, israel Man tapped him on the

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>shoulder and the cameras were very fixed on him, and

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>he looked up and he had no idea who his

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>teammate was. He looked so confused. So he was knocked

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 2>into a whole other world. But yeah, I've seen a

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>few stories today and I think they're a bit off

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and saying that it was you know that they were

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of out to try and get him, But I

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think anyone's out to do that to someone, especially

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 2>a young professional sports player. And it is just really unfortunate,

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Like we've watched the clip this morning in the office

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>far too many times, and his feet to slip out

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>underneath them and he was just sitting there, just ready

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>to be ripped in a half right, like there's nothing

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>else about it. But it's not the best way to

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>start seven minutes into a game, is that?

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if you bleed blue, if you've got

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, the go of. I'm trying to think of

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>an old Blues player of Laurie Day in your soul,

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>then you will say that it did ruin the game. However,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I would like a counterpoint there in that New South

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Wales did lift people like Leah Martin Payne. Heass they

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.799
<v Speaker 1>really reved their side up either side of the break.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>It looked like they were making a comeback. They did

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>make a small comeback. Was twenty ten at one point

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 1>and it looked all Blues either side of the break.

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and a big surprise to myself even just watching

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 2>one of their talentsmen. It seemed like in that as

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 2>well was Spencer Lingu. Seemed like a bit of an

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>odd choice, considering he does some bad things at the

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 2>stay of the air. We don't have to rehash that,

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 2>but he seemed like a bit of a bolter. But

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>he was kind of the difference for the Blues last night.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 2>He was he played a bit more of the enforcer

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 2>role and just really got a monks and just was

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>there trying to ruffle feathers. But you know, apart from him,

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>wasn't too much house going on. And a massive second

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>change that happened to that new South Wales side is

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>they finally brought Isaiah yah on really really late into

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 2>the game, and he is one of the leaders in

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the top side in the league. And it just seemed

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>odd because even at the same time the third person

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>after twenty minutes he took off as captain and I

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>think Jake Darowitch only played like less than thirty minutes.

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm kind of feeling now that I'm actually saying

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 2>this out loud, and now that I finally got to

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the end of my thought, Madge had a shaka.

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Matche did have a shaka For those not in

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the know, Man'ge McGuire of course, the new new South

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Wales coach. They've gone through a few coaches in the

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>last few years. Freddy Fittler was let go. I think

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>one of his biggest weaknesses was the selection and manage.

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>McGuire made wholesale changes at five debutantes last night. It

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't help. I don't think it was a well selected team.

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think Joseph Soley should have been in there

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to start with, and then see in retrospect definitely shouldn't

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>have been in there. And you know the people like

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Latrell Mitchell left out yep, okay, so he said patchy

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>form this year. But asd made the point last night,

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>who would you rather tackle? I know who I'd rather tackle?

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? What? Yeah?

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 2>And it was kind of odd as well, right because

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>he came out after he was injured, and he came

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 2>out for injury and he kind of put himself out

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>of contention. But surely if you get that phone call

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>in and say hey mate, you know things aren't going

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 2>so great, we need you start in that fallback, you've

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>got to pick up that call a Surely he just

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 2>walked straight back in.

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Surely you just throw everything at a dominant Queensland side.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>First time I've ever seen them in my life. Favorites ever,

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>it's been a bit of a bonus contention for New

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>South Wales fans over the years that they always are

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 1>favorites in Queensland, always the underdogs. That's the first time

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen them as favorites. I just think as

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.679
<v Speaker 1>a coach, you would pick your most attacking side, you

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>would pick a side that's going to throw everything at them,

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>particularly in Game one.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 3>But Manage maguire, a.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Defensive coach, just tried to grind them into the ground,

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>thinking it was going to be a you know, eight

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>points to six kind of scoreline, and it didn't work.

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw a lot of the money was in

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the odd of any team to win by one to twelve.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of multis floating around, and even

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the popular setup in there now with the tab as well.

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>But it seemed a bit odd, especially a part that

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>made me smile on the game was they cut to

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>him in the box and I have never seen a

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 2>swittier man and a more stressed out man then managed there.

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's really unfortunate because I read this week as

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 2>well that they had the mental skills coach skills coach

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert and Oke got brought into their camp as well

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>from the All Blacks and he was there to try

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and you know, ge them up and sort out the

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 2>team and that as well. So it's not like they're

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>not doing things to try and better themselves, especially you know,

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 2>getting someone so specific in there as well. But you know,

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess we've spent all this time talking about how

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 2>average they were. Queensland weren't bad, Queensland weren't bad.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 3>All Queen's there weren't bad.

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, just even on paper they just they

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>said stairs stars all across it, and and not only

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.439
<v Speaker 1>experienced stars like Daddy Cherry Evans thirty five years of age,

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>played it out of a game, but also young stars

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Hamiso tab you I feedo. Three tries just blew that

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>first half open and a third one in the second

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>half after the scoreline had kind of blown out. But

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>what an exciting player and could be one of the greats.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Of our game.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, massively. I saw a good stat this morning that

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>daily Cherry Evans was the oldest player in Origin to

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>get an intercept that led to a try. Oh yeah,

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that's that's not a bad stat. But he the try

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that he set up for Coreots.

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 3>No oats, no Xavier Navy coats, coats.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sorry, there was phenomenal. He's gone through the line

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.959
<v Speaker 2>with that intercept and he had the peace of mind

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 2>just to look over his shoulder. And I think you

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 2>might have even said it on the comment I'm just

0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm just quitting you and die at this point. But

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.599
<v Speaker 2>it was one of the most beautiful kicks. They just

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 2>stayed in goal and he's at full tilt in between

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.839
<v Speaker 2>two players. It was just a moment in there as well,

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>just we you really really do see experience wins games

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>and just that calm, cool, collective head which was, you know,

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the opposite on the other side and DC he looked

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>good yesterday, A yeah he did.

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>So what happens now? What does Madge do going into

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>game two? I think I know what I would do

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>if I was him, and I'd bring in Littrell Mitchell,

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd bring in some bolts on the edge of the squad.

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Scott Drinkwater I would bring in as well. And because

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so he's going to be available.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I feel like he's a few weeks off right.

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I would think so, So there's a couple of options

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>for you, and I would say go all out.

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 3>That was their home game.

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 1>They got trounced at home thirty eight ten and now

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>they've got to go to Melbourne and then sun Corp.

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he's right now just praying to the Rugby

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>League gods just just to do anything, anything at all,

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 2>to get Nathan Cleary healthy. If I think he would believe,

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think New South Wales would believe as well,

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 2>if they could just get him in there as well,

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>especially if they had that spine you know, I you know,

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>you said drink water. But even if they had Edward's back,

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 2>they had Yow in there as well. Yeah, and they

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 2>just have him and Leui in the middle. He was

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>very cagey. He gave the most NRL answer to winning

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>you back mate, how are you going? And he he

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 2>apologized before he started speaking. He said, I apologize, but

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just taking things day by day. Yeah, you know,

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to get right. But I think that

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>is their chance. If they can get him back, they

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>can get him fit. That guy's far too good just

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 2>to watch it go by, right, and but I just

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it could be too soon for him. And

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I could imagine the Panthers aren't too keen on seeing

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that hamstring go second third time.

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, taking it day by day, rugby league

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>players and alcoholics. Now, before we go to the break,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know that each month

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Monday team are giving away four times tickets.

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just reading this verbatim, four tickets to the next

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>home game and four four and twenty piveouchers to enter.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.160

<v Speaker 1>after the ads, we are going to preview this weekend's.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Wars game versus the Cowboys.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Mad Monday from the Export Beer Garden

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Studio and brought to you by four and twenty pies.

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Now this weekend, of course, on Saturday, it's the big game.

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.319
<v Speaker 1>It's seven point thirty on Skysport nine. We will be

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 1>covering it. It's the Warriors versus the Cowboys from right

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>here in Auckland.

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Isn't it home game?

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 2>It is away it's away.

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, don't listen to me. That is a way in Townsville.

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine. Now the Cowboys, we remarked about it

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>last night during Origin it is they are a team

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>with possibly more Origin players in it than any other team.

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>They have done the good thing and that they have

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>not listed all their Origin players to back up, because

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>other teams have. I looked at the Broncos team sheet.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>They had Selwyn Cobbo. I mean, they had Rece Walsh

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in there, who's definitely not going to be playing, but

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously that was named before he got his head taken off.

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>You look at this Cowboys side. It's not at full strength,

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's not terrible.

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all because I think, you know, even

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the second row, the fact that you don't have N

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>nine and you have Luky and who's a pretty solid

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>second role. You still got drink Water as well. I

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>guess the person that they probably would have loved as well,

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>would have just the two of them really just heaving

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>homes and even dead, and he did. It wasn't terrible

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>last night. Solid yeah, yeah, And I think I think

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what the Cowboys are. You know that they are

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.239
<v Speaker 2>pretty deep in the table.

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 3>So we I think we're having very similar seasons.

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there definitely was quite a bit of expectation

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 2>out of them from the last couple of years, right,

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>they did make a big U turn and then you know,

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>we all wrote the hype together and then and now

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>here we are. But no, I think you're right because

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I even saw the like pain Hess had been named,

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 2>and I'd send in a few groups everyone confused, being

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 2>like everyone's towns everyone all week. Don't pick origin stars

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 2>for your fantasy teams. They're never going to play. But

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>there is just a few of the blockbuster dudes that

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>are going to back up. You know, I could even

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>imagine the like some off topicy of like Angus Crichton

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>had an okay game last night, and I'm sure he'd

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be out there this week to really.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 3>He's a rooster though.

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there I've got the boat there on the by.

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we've we've both had a bit of a

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>whoopsie in the seat in this little line here. But yeah,

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 2>we get to the Warriors though.

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Warrior So, I mean what they've named and

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>whether this is the team that takes the park is

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>another issue. But it looks pretty full strength to me.

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Charms back at full back, Rocco Berry back in the

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>centers with Adam Pombe, Chanell, Harris Tavida. I mean okay,

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I when I say full full strength, Still no Roger,

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Still no Roger, and still no Shawnee j. But Shanell,

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Harris Tavita and Tomarti Martin in the halves. Wade Egan

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is back, Jackson Ford is back, Marta near Cord starts.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Barnette did not make the bench for the Origin side,

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>so he is back and starting in the back row.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And Tahu the Mighty Torta back in the thirteen Jersey.

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Kate well as well. I saw a funny

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 2>bit him been interviewed this week and he was being questioning.

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 2>He say, hey, you know, I thought you were fit.

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were good to go. And he was

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.239
<v Speaker 2>being questioned as because he's been walking around camp all

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>week with his Queensland head on, telling everyone on the camp,

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>especially we be how every key we is a Queenslander.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 2>That that could have cemented his on the bench. That is,

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>there's some good in house banter there from the Warriors.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>It really was yet really annoyed, We're blessed. So there

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the interchange bench, Dylan wal could jest among us are

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the ball brothers, Tom Ali and yeah Kirk Kate on

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the bench.

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 3>There it is.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 1>It is a good looking warrior's side, and these are

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>points that we need to take against a weakened Cowboys team.

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Massively, and I it is. I think they've surprised so

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 2>many people the last couple of weeks where everyone was

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>shitting the bed considering we just don't have our stars

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 2>out there, like I think it's even a luxury at

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the moment. You read this week that Esjay wasn't quite fit,

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 2>but that's not a bad thing.

0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think won of the last two weeks

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 3>without him, and we've.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.479
<v Speaker 2>Won the last couple of weeks without some of our

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>biggest signings last two weeks ago before the buye and

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 2>not having AFB. You know that that's the call from

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.959
<v Speaker 2>the coach. The team got up for it. So I

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 2>wonder if I hope, I guess so does everyone else

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that those two weeks of just absolutely slogging it out,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 2>getting a bit more morale back in that team and

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.880
<v Speaker 2>just kind of you know, just kind of get get

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>just that feeling of winning a game because it felt

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 2>like it was just hard to come by, even at

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 2>the start of the year. You know, I was out

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 2>there at Mount Smart with you a couple of times,

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and we won a couple, we lost a couple, but

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you were never overly confident. And then these last two

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.239
<v Speaker 2>games that we've won, there's just been something different about it.

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And I know they drinking the special water for that,

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, the MJ took on.

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just we've talked about this, so I

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>felt like we've talked about this a lot of times

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast over the years. But when Shawn Johnson

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is on on the park.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 3>And he's firing, they're a good side.

0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.679
<v Speaker 1>And when he's on the park and he's not firing,

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.919
<v Speaker 1>then they are very reliant around around that one player,

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and when he's not there, they are more collaborative. They

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>are more evenly spread across the park. The opposition don't

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>just look to one player to see what's going to happen.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's what's happened in the last couple

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.679
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. They've lifted and it's not as predictable the attack.

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, and that's true, and I wonder as well,

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>because competition and teams as well, especially in positions, that's

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the thing that kind of like breeds a lot of

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>success as well. And it's been crazy because the last

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 2>couple weeks, like dam Pompey has looked bloody solid out

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 2>there at center, you know, and that just brings on

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that contest as well with Artes when he comes back.

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Rock o'berry coming back after a few weeks out with

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>a broken hand, which I believed he broke it over

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>in Australia and had to stay over there to get

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 2>it repaired, so he's had a couple of weeks to

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 2>try and get that back in our man. That debut

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 2>last week looked really odd two weeks ago. I'm just

0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 2>it's more that I feel like I wish that we

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 2>get to watch the Warriors week but that's not the case.

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know, like it's it's the sense of competition

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't had for a while and it's really

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 2>really helping the side out.

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Ah. No, Jacob Laban, is he injured? No?

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it's just I know that we be

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 2>this year as well. If you'd noticed that he hides

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of junior players, they don't have to face

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the limelight just just to kind of

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 2>take the heat of them. So I wonder if it's that,

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, the young guys they played a couple of games,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 2>just give them a little spell out, you know, let

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the old heads kind of get back in there and grind,

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 2>because and I wonder if he's just trying to keep

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 2>them hungry because he knows he's going to need them

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of weeks. You know, you're going to

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 2>have the likes of so who needing a little spell

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know someone's definitely going to have an Hia

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 2>in that as well. But you know it's and I

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 2>saw that as Zion my uuh's back as well, and

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 2>he is an absolute animal. So we're not bad in

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 2>our and our youth coming through, right. And the ranks

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 2>look good.

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they do look good. The one slight conceit I

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>have is there's not really a specialist hooker on the

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>bench for when Wade Egan inevitably has to leave the park.

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess Jams will fill that role.

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no, I guess you're right. And it is

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a worry, right because it's literally every game. Yeah,

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 2>and It's crazy because you think about how many tackles

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 2>in the career that someone like Cam Smith made. He

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 2>would make fifty plus a game kind of thing. And

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.560
<v Speaker 2>he was quite a slight guy as well, Right, he's

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 2>quite a rangy range.

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I guess a little probably a little gerthier

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>than Wade Egan, waged Wade Egan, probably a little skinny,

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>way a little less than Cam Smith, I would think.

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just he just gets his head yeah right on

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:44.400
<v Speaker 2>people's hips a hell of a lot. Ad. It's really

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 2>rough to see because there's been a few of this.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>There's been like maybe two or three already this year

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that's had him out right.

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Look, no shade on Wagan.

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 1>We love Wagan and when he's playing his best, he

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>can really blow a game apart. He's kind of been

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the differences in the turnaround of this Warrior's side.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not a good ahead of ourselves though it is

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.879
<v Speaker 1>a good looking side. I like seeing Shanell Harris Tavita

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:10.360
<v Speaker 1>back in the halves, back in a Warriors jumper back starting,

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and he adds a little bit of starch in defense

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. Seven point thirty on Sky Sport nine I

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 1>believe it's Die Henwood and somebody else.

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 2>The pants Man.

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 3>It's the Pantsman.

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 2>The Pantsman gets the call up. He was sidelined for

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.800
<v Speaker 2>the Oranging game last night, and he's gonna full debut

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>this season. I love it and I'm sure he'll be

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>absolutely first. And you we don't even have to talk

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:38.959
<v Speaker 2>about fis Dialby.

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, go the Wars and we're just going to

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>have another quick ad here and we'll come back and

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit of super Coach. We welcome back

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>to Mad Monday out on a Thursday. Because of Origin

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 1>last night, We're just gonna have a little chat about

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>super Coach slash Fantasy. If you're not a massive rugby

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:03.160
<v Speaker 1>league like Adam and me and dian Keesyam and I

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and all the rest of them, then you can probably

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>switch off now. Now Adam trying to take us through

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 1>who you believe the big buys and the big holds.

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I think buyers this week. There is a

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 2>lot going on, especially because of Origin, but there is

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 2>a few safer options. One of the big buys this

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 2>week definitely would be Jerome Hughes, just because the storm.

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I think after last week, it's not too bad for

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 2>them moving forward for by rounds.

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I managed to hold him last week while he was

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.719
<v Speaker 1>on the buy and still got the win against Maniah.

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I can't wait to talk to him about

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that when he returns next week. He would be loving that.

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, no, I think Jerome Hughes as a bye.

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I also think as well, on the back of watching

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>that game last night, I think Latrell Metchell huge bye.

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I think you know they finally sorted out the coaching

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 2>situation at the Bunnies. I just think it's time that

0:23:57.960 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>I could just see him looking at him being like,

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm going to tone up and I'm

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 2>just going to go berserk. So I think Latreal's one

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I will be buying him for the third time this season.

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's bold, that's bold. Is there any Is there

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 2>a cutoff for the amount of times you would player?

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Drop and by its the only way I could

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 3>do it.

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Last week to get thirteen players on the park, I

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>had to sell him because he had heard the buye

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>last week. So I actually bought in Jordan Rappana, who

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>did fine.

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, and yeah, no that makes sense. And

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.880
<v Speaker 2>then so another one here, I've got is the main

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 2>one I think you should buy if you don't and

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 2>you can afford it, is to get for Feeder from

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the Gold Coast Titans. There is a chance he gets

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 2>picked up for origin, but I could just imagine he

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 2>looks like a guy that would have a chip on

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 2>his shoulder.

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>In general, are all your boys just based on origin revenge?

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Like non selection revenge?

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I've realized on the back of this, Yes, but not intentionally.

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>And not intentionally I have for Feeder because I brought

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 2>him a couple of weeks and he's just a fun

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.879
<v Speaker 2>player to watch because he's a big human that just

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 2>likes to bowl through people. And there's not much house

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:10.479
<v Speaker 2>in that Gold Coast Titans team with Tino out, to

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 2>be honest. Apart from him, the only other one would

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.880
<v Speaker 2>be Cataut from the Storm as well. He has been

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>snagging quite a few tries at the moment. I think

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 2>he's quite expensive now as well. But those would be

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the main buys. I would believe that.

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>My little one is Jacob Preston from the Bulldogs in

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 1>the back row there. He turned up last week and

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty unusual that a back row will turn up.

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I saw he was playing bloody good at

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the tab as well. He's playing like thirteen or forteen

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 2>bucks just any time try scorer.

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, as a steal Chanel Harris de

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Vitas across two hundred and forty much, that's pretty cheap.

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's a starting half this week.

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, that's not a bad shout because I would

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>imagine he would be right on the cusp. This must

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 2>be his fourth game. Yeah, he'd only played a couple

0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>of games, so he could be right on the if

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 2>he goes off this weekend as well. I earn the

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>money in the bank and around this time of year,

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of origin, that is quite needed. So

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>if we go into holds, I think a big hold

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 2>which I had onto last week is Talangey from the Eels.

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>So he was playing fullback, lost his position last week

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to starting fallback and due to an unlucky ACL injury

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 2>in the centers, he's been called up into the centers.

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 2>So he was a base basement kind of dwelling rookie

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 2>and if you did manage to hold on to him,

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 2>a great hold at this point, because you know it

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 2>could be three points on off.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Of their and sorry, which Telong.

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Are we talking about telling who plays for the Eels?

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Blaze Blade Telling, Yes, No.

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I actually weirdly had him just in my kind of

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know the players that you pack at

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the start of the season so for no money so

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you can get the good players.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Did you pick him up mainly because his name was Blaze?

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so, Like because a lot of those players

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 1>that you picked because they're the base salary, Yeah, you

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 1>just you don't know a lot of them, so I

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.200
<v Speaker 1>just pick it on name. But yeah, Blaze Tailang, he's

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty cool name.

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And he did look at fallback as well, so

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 2>it is pretty good. My other thing I've just realized

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:16.439
<v Speaker 2>I've gone straight back into origin is I feel like

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people are quite hasty to make big

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>decisions and just kind of like clear your one out

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and all that as well. A big thing that people

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>don't realize is that everyone's in the same boat. I'm

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna put it out there. I think the majority of

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 2>people aren't playing in their by rounds. They aren't looking

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>at the teams. They're literally picking who they want to pack,

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 2>so there may not be a need to clear house.

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Because I feel like you know, surprisingly a lot of

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>people be in exactly the same boat as you are.

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And just to reiterate something that Menia Stuart couldn't get

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 1>his head around, it is just your best thirteen players.

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 1>So it doesn't matter if you say you can't put

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.679
<v Speaker 1>out a fullback. As long as you have thirteen players

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.959
<v Speaker 1>in your squad, including reserves that are scoring, then you

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 1>will have the full compliment. So I don't think I'll

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>have a fallback this week, but that's okay.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were getting Backlatrol for the thing.

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I might get him back for the THEA and reflection and.

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Then and then if we get to the sales, I

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 2>think the big sale this week I think me personally

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I had on to him would be Hines. After watching

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>last night, he is already not named this weekend in

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the Shark Side, and I think that was just a

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 2>bit of safety, considering he had a bit of trouble

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of weeks with the calf, and it

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 2>looked like he either had really bad cramps or he

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 2>did his calf again at the end of the game

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>last night. So I would say a big sale in

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 2>general for many would be Hines. Is there anyone else

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that you're looking to really been out of your team

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>this week.

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 3>He's no.

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>See, I've never been a Heines purchaser. I'm a fan

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of his as a player, but he was just I

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.239
<v Speaker 1>think I didn't get him at the start of the year,

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and then he got too expensive, so I fought against

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone else in the in our little private

0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>league that we have with the Mad Monday team has

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>him to resent me.

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you're doing going great, guys, I'm going okay, Yeah,

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 2>so maybe there's this some week in there. I have

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 2>had him and Cleary. I had Cleary.

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I had Cleary though, to be fair, but I sold him. Yeah.

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't sell him until he hurt himself the second time.

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 3>You and I think that's where I toppled from first

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 3>to fourth.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 2>We will make mistakes, right, It's just as long as

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 2>we learn and we don't go back there a third time.

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so smug when you've held on to a

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>play like that and he come back and then I

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>think he did and he got like twenty five points.

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he hurt himself in the first like fifteen minutes,

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and to be honest, he looked great while he was

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 2>on the pinch. Until that hamshury went bang. We could

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>have been absolute geniuses, but unfortunately not the case. And

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 2>every week we have a tab good hunch and this

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 2>week our hunch, I am going to throw it out

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to you, Ben, let's go look for an anytime try scorer.

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Who are you feeling this week?

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Mate?

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go Mitch Barnett, starting back in the

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Warriors after not quite making the bench for Origin. He's

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be hungry, he's going to be pumped up,

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be full of adrenaline. And to be honest,

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>they've been using him for that crash play instead of

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 1>AFB lately, so he's my pick.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that sounds good. So if we put one hundred

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 2>dollars a bonus cash on there, he's paying four dollars ten,

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 2>that'll get us back three hundred and ten dollars in

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the kiddy. So it's pretty good eating.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's eating. It's pretty good.

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's quite short odds for a front row, but anyway,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that's okay.

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll take the omen punt and we'll go from there.

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Those are all your tips and that is the end

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of Mad Monday for another week. Thanks for sticking with us.

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Throughout the week, probably wondering whether the hell we were

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. Of course, no Warriors game last weekend as well,

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 1>so there wasn't much to talk about.

0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 3>We will be back on Monday like normal, right, Yeah.

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I think that makes sense. You know, we'll

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 2>have a few people back next week. I'm sure sure

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the boys will be furzed after a good game this weekend,

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and we will see you back on Monday.

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Take care out there, and I go the Wars
