1
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: O there and welcome back to the Mad Monday podcast,

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: brought to you by four and twenty Pie is a

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: perfect at home snack for watching the rugby League. My

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: name is Tina saw on Monday. OWI I am joined

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: by We're going to go with to Henward HEMI HENDUCKSMI

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: henducks in the seat opposite me. Hey you going mate?

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Still recovering what was a tough a tough night in

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: the commentary booth, the tough night as a fan. Yeah,

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: I've been drowning myself in the sweet, delicious gravy of

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: a four and twenty PI since then. Basically it was

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: what I suppose the depression that it gives you as

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: it was such a Warriors lass. If you've been a

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: fan of the club for what the thirty odd last years,

14
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: it's such a Warrior's loss all up, all to play

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: for at halftime. Technically we won the first half.

16
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: We had the obstruction train, oh my god.

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we just capitulated in the second half. Every

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: time we were on there with a full set of six,

19
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: we dropped the ball on the second or first tackle.

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: Have felt like half a dozen times.

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: It's just like you say, it's so Warriors and it's

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: so frustrating, and it's so good to have all of

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: the people that jumped on the bandwagon last year. I'm

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: actually in a roundabout way and this could be just copium.

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm quite glad that we've had the season that we have. Fourteenth.

26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: I think on the latter is our spiritual home. It's

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: outsod on Wawei sitting in fourteenth. And for all of

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: the people who got on up the wires last year,

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: this is what it's actually about. It's about turning up weekend,

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: week out in the sideways, pissing rain to watch your

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: team just fuck it up on the first tackle every.

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't worry for those who want to stick

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: with a potty I've gotten off the back fence. That

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: will have some tips and tricks for being a Warriors fan.

35
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh, brilliant, a real Warriors.

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: Fan, because this the thing is, to be honest, I'm

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: happy fourteenth. There's no more mathematical chance, there's no more

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: over ninth. If only we'd won that game. Not we've

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: faded out now with that obstruction call. What is pissing

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: me off so much is just run.

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Through the line, don't stop in it.

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Cape, Well, just trotted up and slowly stopped

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: and DC could have run round him. Yeah, but he

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: gamesmanship played for it. The lead runners just sprint through

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: the line. Yeah.

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: But even then, I've I saw maybe on the Thursday

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: night game, I seem to remember the refs being like, oh, look, yes,

48
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: there wasn't a you know, what do they call it

49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: an impeding or whatever? Earlier on in the player that

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: player wasn't going to make the tackle. They weren't going

51
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: to stop the try. So there was a little bit

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of like referees discretion, But then then they went straight

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: back to litter of the law with our one. Yeah,

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: they had that was it Nathan Cleary maybe? Who? Yeah,

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: someone like that.

56
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 2: A well, no, Isaac Tunguell made a defensive reed.

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was like, yes, they might have been

58
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: stopped there, but they were never going to stop that try.

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: But then our one is like as if DC was

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: going to get over there and make a tryce over it.

61
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: You know.

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: Now I'm wearing a Warrior's top and a black Caps

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: supporter's cap.

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Right, you're steady as ship.

65
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: How close are the black Caps and the Warriors do

66
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: you reckon?

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Oh? So close?

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: Glimmers of hope and joy. Granted, I'll give the black

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Caps they've won a World Teess championship, right, so they

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: had actually won a big calm.

71
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: But we feel so similar.

72
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Right, We'll take out Ozzie in a T twenty, then

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: we'll get beaten by Bangladesh at home.

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Anistan will light us up at the Cricket World Cup.

75
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: We just we we've got no form guide. Yeah, you

76
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: can't pick okay and just settle and there's gonna be

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: a good season because we came off last year. Ideally,

78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: i'd like, is it this could be our year Now.

79
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: I worry that we've got James Fisher Harris coming, but

80
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 2: we've also lost SJ. We're a bit little bit raddle

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: us in the Halfshokie met.

82
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: Calf, Yes, yes, it was great to have him back,

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and you're right, but I would also you know, there's

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: been a lot made of the ones that we've had

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: without Shawn Johnson this year. I wouldn't be shocked if

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: we had a half signing in the off season or

87
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: like World Card maybe teen tour pickiars a half yeah

88
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: eight yeah, like a and then be I know Metcalf's

89
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: been talking about he wants to play halfback. I don't

90
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: think you know one would be too opposed to that

91
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: with the no well, I mean Tomty's been doing a

92
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: good job though.

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, TOMARTI feels like you're more bogs standard organizing half yea. However,

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: no one's really lighting it up with the kicking a

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: and I think that got shown up on the weekend

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: with DCE. Oh my god, we had one of his

97
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: best games.

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: This was the first note that I wrote down. We

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: I picked our game to a good punt for Friday

100
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: night and it was a forty twenty because I love

101
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: getting on forty twenty whenever DC is playing.

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: Look for those who aren't fay with Mania's punting. Normally,

103
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: he put one hundred bucks on an elephant to come

104
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: on the pitch during the twenty second minute of the

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: game at Brookwell. But no, he went like straight up

106
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: forty it was paying good odds.

107
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it was actually paying for dollars twenty

108
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: DCE drools those pinpoint.

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: And shit is a momentum shifter.

110
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we don't see more forty twenties

111
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: in the NRL. It is such a massive play. The

112
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: amount of people that actually go for it is so low.

113
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just have someone Because if the forty

114
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: twenty didn't exist, and then we brought it in tomorrow,

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden everyone to be trying it ever on,

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: to be having a crack for a forty twenty. I

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: don't understand why it doesn't happen more often. I was

118
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: thinking about it yesterday.

119
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: Why don't teams set up for it like they do

120
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: with a drop goal? Yeah, you know where you play

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: to the You know you're not gonna.

122
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: Score a try or get out of your own half,

123
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: so you play.

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: You're having one of those tough sets, so you play

125
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: to the middle of the park, You set your kicker

126
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: up on whatever his angle.

127
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Is, yeah, and run the forty twenty. You're telling me

128
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 1: that Matt Burton couldn't snap off a forty twenty.

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: It will Oh, Matt Burton, he could kick a twenty twenty.

130
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean christ Welsh did like two weeks ago,

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: even more so.

132
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: And you where it's only a fifty to twenty five.

133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty twenty two. That's what if. It's one of

134
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the more ridiculous rules in rugby union, but that's they've

135
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: generally got wingers back there, so that one's harder to do.

136
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: Well you've got and your your fullback stays a lot deeper,

137
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: whereas in league you don't. That's why they're able to

138
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: get them. And there's no more master than Dcen. I

139
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: think he was the difference in this and sadly he

140
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: has had the wood on Sean Johnson.

141
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: And to make it even worse, they.

142
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: Played the Grand Final in twenty eleven is two bright,

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: sparkly eyed young halfbacks and it was exactly the same

144
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: score as the twenty eleven.

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Really yeah far up.

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: So what away for Shawn Johnson to go out against DCE. Yeah,

147
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: the same score that we got pumped GF.

148
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: As he's walking off the field, they start booing him.

149
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: What was that about? Got to say love it?

150
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's manly for you, right, that's brook Vale

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: either had they it's a respectful.

152
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Boot right because you don't bullshit. And if I was j.

153
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: Actually soak it up because that's the last time he'll

154
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: get booed.

155
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I reckon. I think he did soak it up.

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: It looked like because he looked like he's in quite

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: a good mood. He gave a good halftime interview. Obviously,

158
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: the game didn't go the way he wanted. He took

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: a pretty heavy shot from Olokua tu yep at one point,

160
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: which I'm sure he will not be missing.

161
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: That was I reckon. That was when he was just

162
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: like yet right decision.

163
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and soak up the booze because he's not going

164
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: to get it again. No, it's respectful. He's got Bulldogs

165
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: at home. Regardless of how that game goes. This is

166
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: a send off game, yeah for shawnee J. Then he's

167
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: got the Sharks. Granted, when he was at the Sharks,

168
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been the peak of his football.

169
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: However, he's still got play of the year at the Sharks.

170
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Won't yet. He led the league in tricists while he.

171
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Was and Britain Nakora. Yeah, they teamed up beautifully. So

172
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: I think he'll get a nice rousing send off at

173
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: the Sharks.

174
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: So no, I mean.

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: It's just very manly bowing him off, and damn manly.

176
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: Got a likable.

177
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Team this year. Awesome team a lot.

178
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: They've got two hard games they play the Sharks, then

179
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 2: the Bulldogs. No, they've got three more games someone Sharks, Bulldogs.

180
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: They've got a tough run home, but they could be

181
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: playing for the top four as long as Turbat is healthy.

182
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: They are a completely different team. And then, like you say,

183
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: they've got players across the park, they can't even fit

184
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: Tolu Cola.

185
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I think it was I don't even think he was

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: on the bench. Was he No?

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: I heard broke a roach call him to a low

188
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: koala there.

189
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: The other night.

190
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: Shout to blocker, Shout out to blocker, nailing the pronunciation

191
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. But it's I was looking back

192
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: through Warriors' seasons. No one, no one can get on

193
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: an end of season losing streak.

194
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: But the Warriors'll tell you that it's It was a

195
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: tough one, particularly when you look at like so, yes,

196
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: mathematically we can't make the eight, and we were just

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: crunching the numbers out of the office. The Dragons are

198
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: on twenty eight points, we're on twenty one, three games

199
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: left high as we can get to his twenty seven.

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: So we cannot make the eight. Don't let anyone tell

201
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: you we can. For a guy like edin Fanua Blake,

202
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just chuck it into neutral? You know,

203
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: all you have to play for is a massive career

204
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: ending injury, Like there's nothing.

205
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: But then if you chuck it into neutral, do you

206
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: have more chance of the injury?

207
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know, because there was that weird

208
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: blip earlier on in the season where he didn't show

209
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: up or he didn't celebrate after that Panthers game, then

210
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: he got bin for the next game. It was all

211
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: just a little bit weird.

212
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: He actually, I thought played the best game he's played

213
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: in a long time against the Seeds. He played seventy

214
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: one minutes.

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I know. And but like I've been saying, he's not

216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: going to check out once he's on the field, because

217
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: you still have perseca running at You still have to

218
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: make that tackle. Once you get the ball, they're coming

219
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: to tackle you. You have to make that play. But

220
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: I just think, you know the vibe, he doesn't really

221
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: seem to celebrate with the rest of the team. If

222
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: you ever watched the game, if you go down to

223
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Mount Smart this weekend, you can kind of tell the

224
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: body language as.

225
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, how he doesn't really stand in the huddles.

226
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just feel like I don't I know,

227
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: none of the players will have a problem with him.

228
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: They'll be made. He made you with him, but it

229
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: just that kind of thing does weigh on a team.

230
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: I think I.

231
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: Actually wonder if there is anything brewing behind the scenes

232
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: this year. That's that's meant the playing group have been

233
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: slightly out of step with each.

234
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Other because they're the same team that had that season

235
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: last year, you know that where everyone was on the bandwagon.

236
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: You know, people were screaming up the wires from the rooftops.

237
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, except like arguably RTS came back and granted, look,

238
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: we I'm not an excuses based person, but we're being

239
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: hammered by injury man like the losses we've had where

240
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: Rockerberry hasn't been there. Granted, Graham, Telfa and Tower have

241
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: been great, but they still need a lot more time.

242
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: They're not one on one tacklers like rockerberriers.

243
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: Who's out to who's out.

244
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: I just hope Mecca, who gets on the city mission,

245
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: lollies over there over the summer and just gets some

246
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: energy back in this game supported. Look, he looked a

247
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: bit naked, So I'm hoping that this time off has

248
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: been a good thing.

249
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I think I think we bring them off the bench

250
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: as a middle rotation player. Yeah, of course, and Dylan

251
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Walker can stay in that thirteen jersey. It means we're

252
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: going to have to take the captain's arm band off.

253
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: But I've got to be honest with you. It feels

254
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: like Mitch Bonnett's our captain anyway, doesn't it.

255
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it seems like it was all smoke

256
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: no fire around Deli Walks leaving.

257
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: Eh. Let's see how it plays out over the next

258
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: few weeks.

259
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's that's something that just subtly happens in

260
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: the off season.

261
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no press release or anything, or they wait

262
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: until another big signing and then they release their press

263
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: release as well. Yeah, because we'll need you.

264
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: We can't just release Deli Walks because he plays with

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: great pace. Oh yeah, he's been great for our team.

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 2: I'd love to just mention in the commentary. I'd love

267
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: to announce Jerome Hughes coming.

268
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't think we get Jerome Hughes, but like Dylan Brown.

269
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how weird is it?

270
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: I was looking at the comp there's suddenly going to

271
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: be a dearth of like halfbacks are going to start

272
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: with DCE will Go Born SJ Chad Townsend or Chad

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: Townsend's signed at the Roosters.

274
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: He's playing at the Roosters. Yeah, there is going to

275
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: be a death, so I don't know. Hopefully we can

276
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: pick up some sort of half just this weekend. I've

277
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: just picked up one step that I'd like to run

278
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: past you. Somebody's put together the tries scored versus tries conceded.

279
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: The team that concedes the fewest tries in the National

280
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: Rugby League this season is the Canterbury banks Down Bulldogs.

281
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: They can see two point sixty seven tries. We only

282
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: score apparently we score three point seven tries. So I

283
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: can't see Sean's farewell going too well this weekend.

284
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: No.

285
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I watched their Bulldogs game.

286
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: They look like a clinical team that's getting ready for

287
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: finals and so I So one of my criticisms has

288
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: always been that I feel the Warriors struggle to get

289
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: it up for big games. I'm looking at ANZAC games,

290
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: the game against Brisbane and the prelim Grand final. However,

291
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: we got up for Mannering three hundred and we had

292
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: a real gutsy win against Canberra that day.

293
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Right, so let's get up for s J.

294
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: Let's get up for SJ. And if he can just

295
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: I do notice he hasn't been stepping much, dude. I

296
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: think he's dealing when you're dealing with Achilles business. And

297
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: he had a bit of a limp towards the game,

298
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: so I mean, surely he plays right now.

299
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: What we're doing is fluctuating between being like, this is

300
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome short, but then he's also but it's

301
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be but they don't allow many tries. But it's

302
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna be the last game. We don't get up for

303
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: these guys, and it's just that.

304
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: The tough thing I think is this is a must

305
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: win game for the Bulldogs because they want top four spot,

306
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: so it's going to be between them and the Sharks,

307
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: and manly, I think for the top four they're.

308
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: My second team as well. I think now that we're out,

309
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: I've never been a big fan of the Bulldogs, but.

310
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: There's something about the way they play.

311
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Only in the last month or so, I reckon. I

312
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: really like Jacob Preston. Yep, like I like Sherry, I

313
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: like Carres, everyone loves the Fox, everyone loves Critter. Kick

314
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: out the replaced them? How was that? How was that

315
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Edoka getting run down by the Hammer? Yeah?

316
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: And did you see Fox? How they put up the

317
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: speedometers on them.

318
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: Yes, really, really they thee because they then they put

319
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: up a side by side and the hammer was clocked

320
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: at forty points something k is an hour. And then

321
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: you saying bolts top speed was forty four k's and

322
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, get out of here. It's right

323
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: up there with the VB Hard Earned Index.

324
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: Like that's a cross because surely you've got to have

325
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: two exact points. Yeah, you've got to have tracking software. Yeah,

326
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: they just get But I love it how it was

327
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: fluctuating that he's going thirty six, he's going five point four.

328
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: Like there's a cop down there in a bush of

329
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: the radar gun, but he.

330
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: Ran him down beautifully. Yeah, and then the fox have

331
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: got one back.

332
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: Ah. I don't read too far into either of those.

333
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: All I read into it is that I just have

334
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: a sinking feeling that the dogs are going to get

335
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: us on Friday night. But anyway, I'll be commentating that

336
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: one at the stage by myself, but we Live from

337
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the Ground will have a special guest commentator. I think

338
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break and come back

339
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: and talk about the Stalker of the Round. But just

340
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: before we do, if you want to be there at

341
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: Shawn Johnson's farewell game, you can be. That's our last

342
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: chance for you to win tickets thanks to the four

343
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: and twenty four pack prize pack. Just text game to

344
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: three two three six and you'll be in to win

345
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: tickets to the Warriors game and four and twenty five ouches.

346
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: So that's game to three two three six, will be

347
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: right back.

348
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: All right.

349
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: If you can't, just joined the ACC team for a

350
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: massive rugby league weekend in March of twenty twenty five.

351
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: I think you know what's going on around then text

352
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: Vegas to three two three six to book your spot.

353
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: I think there's only a couple left. But right now

354
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: at his time for the Stalker of the round, and

355
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: it had to be the Knights versus the Sharks. Was

356
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: it nineteen to eighteen?

357
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Yes? In fact the game that four minutes into this

358
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be a forty point blowout. Yeah,

359
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: because the Shark he's got two very early tries to Atkinson.

360
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: Who I'm loving this, Daniel Atkinson.

361
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, where did he come from? He's just your young

362
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: little half. He played a blinder of a game.

363
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: Then Britain Acora crossed over in the seventh and it

364
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: was all Sharks.

365
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

366
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: Then the Knights sort of pulled right back into this

367
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: game and led it almost to the end.

368
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: How are the penalties at the end? It was ridiculous.

369
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: It was out of controls. That was the note I

370
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: put the was this thing was a penalty fest, and

371
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: particularly towards the end, I have never seen it called

372
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: the blocking penalty for the drop goal of tense. They

373
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: were putting blockers in the way which every team does, which.

374
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: I thought I sort of understood on the Night's one,

375
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: but then on the Sharks one, it just looked like, well,

376
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: where are those players meant to stand.

377
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: And what are they supposed to do? Are they not

378
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: allowed to just like.

379
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: Stand because they're just standing there? Yeah, and the kickers

380
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: is set so far back.

381
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was just a case of the

382
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: referees blown one against these guys. He's going to have

383
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: to blow on against the other guys as well. But

384
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen that. It's ridiculous because.

385
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: That was such a bold move because I think that

386
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: Night's drop goal went over. Yeah, then he called the

387
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: penalty back.

388
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: On them, so then he had to give the other one,

389
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: and then in the end they made it. They made

390
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: a real point of not having anyone standing there and

391
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: our man just stood as far back as he possibly could.

392
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: Atkinson just bombed one, hit it as high as he

393
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: possibly could, give it every chance to go over, and

394
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: it did, and that puts the Sharks right up the ladder.

395
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: Now with that balling, without Nikohines at the moment, what's

396
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: going on? So I think he'll be back for he'll

397
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: be back for finals.

398
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: The Roosters are on exactly the same points as Cranella

399
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: on thirty four, so that puts them at Roosters at third,

400
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: Cranella at fourth.

401
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: How crazy was that Roosters game and the slop feed?

402
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: I turned it off because I couldn't well, I couldn't

403
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: see the field, to be honest, it was raining that

404
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: hard and then it just it's like the drains were blocked.

405
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: And so they spent eight hundred and twenty eight million

406
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: on that stadium two years ago and they donate drainage.

407
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: They couldn't.

408
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: Just Brookvale in the game beforehand had the same rain,

409
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: but that drained out fine.

410
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: Yeah they were still pretty wet, but yeah, there was

411
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: one where.

412
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: Old hectic gees jumped out of dummy half ran and

413
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: then somehow turtled it on his back about fifteen meters slide.

414
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: It was, it was, It was ridiculous. It was actually

415
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: quite tough to watch. And then despite all of that,

416
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: all of these supercoach players for the Roosters went bang.

417
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, this Stonker of the round Knights for Sharks.

418
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to read too far into

419
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: that one, other than the fact that despite losing Neko Hinz,

420
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: the Sharks are I mean, the Sharks are so.

421
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: I still don't have a hell of a lot of

422
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: confidence in them because even though they went buckwhild forty

423
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: four neil against the Titans last week, they have been losing.

424
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: They have been looking a little bit shabby. I couldn't

425
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: put my finger on what it is it's so good

426
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: about the Sharks.

427
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: I think, is it Mula Talo, Raimian Catur back five,

428
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: the plus the back five of you, Chuck, Adam Van

429
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: Noah Blake and there.

430
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Don't bring it up. They look pretty good. Man breaks

431
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: my heart? Yeah, I know, But then, like if you

432
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: go play with a player, I don't think they're that

433
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: much better than us. Yeah, I suppose what worries me?

434
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: What worries me jumping slightly back to the Warriors again,

435
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: as all the teams around us seem to have stepped up,

436
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: like the Dogs, the Ragons, Manly. A few weeks ago

437
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: I would have said the Titans, although the Titans are back.

438
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: Into a slump.

439
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I can't see the Sharks winning the comp no,

440
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: no can I. I think it's definitely between Penrith, Melbourne

441
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: Roosters and my smoke two Smokies are Bulldogs and Manly.

442
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's storm Urst Panthers in the final.

443
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Roosters could be right there or thereabouts. Yeah.

444
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: I shot the gun and bought tickets a couple of

445
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 2: weeks ago to the Grand Final.

446
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be.

447
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: As as always at Home Bush in Sydney on October sixth,

448
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: I believe so. I'll be there in my Warriors jumper

449
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: with the family. We've got the whole Farno going over

450
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: for a week and Manly beautiful.

451
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: And then I have to confess I enjoy going to

452
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: a non Warriors Grand Final because I've got no stress.

453
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: You're just going along to watch possibly the worst Teina

454
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: Turner impersonator you've seen. You might get a glimpse of

455
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: the legend Jimmy Barnes.

456
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: You know, then the.

457
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: Choir Boys played last time I was there, they went

458
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: alout on the field though they played in the stand

459
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: Run to Paradise, then faded out through a couple of

460
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: other tunes that no one knew.

461
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: And it's a real it's a real occasion. It's a

462
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: bit like a magic ground because everyone's there in their

463
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: different jerseys. Yeah right, people love a Warriors fan. Yeah,

464
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: well they say they do.

465
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think because we're a lot of people's second teams.

466
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: I mean, there won't be as much fizz as last year. No,

467
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: last year was up the Wars all day mate.

468
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to get over to a NROL Grand Final.

469
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can do that next year. But yeah, it

470
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: is your My one last takeaway on the stogger of

471
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: the round. This is a note to the mainstream commentators.

472
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: They've been doing a great job of pronouncing a lot

473
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: of the harder to pronounce names. I'm just gonna need

474
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: you to hit the k and ni kura a bit harder,

475
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: just a little bit harder. It's coming out as a

476
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: g at the moment. Oh yeah, And I was playing

477
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: it out of the office and a couple of people.

478
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: It's like, what did he just say? Yeah, I just

479
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: need you to hit that k a little bit harder,

480
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: Nick Kara. Also, they and a few people are doing it.

481
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: There no checking the you know, like an Isaac Tangle,

482
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: Blake Tangle, just putting a bit of an inn before

483
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: the g Yeah, you know Tago you often go to takeout.

484
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. If you're a Polynesian player, you've

485
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: got two years before anyone actually figures out how to play,

486
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: how to pronounce you know all.

487
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: You've got two years and then they've just really bettered

488
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: in the wrong one.

489
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, in your Propali for the rest of your life.

490
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, at that case, Hey, it's worth also looking

491
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: up the Hall of Fame inductees inductees.

492
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got your your legends like Sam Burgess and

493
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: jt in there Anglis.

494
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Look up Lez Boyd. Well, I saw a blocker going

495
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: off about Liz Boyd. I was reading a little bit

496
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: about it because it was before my time. Oh before

497
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: my time is nineteen eighty three. I would have been

498
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: five he he.

499
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: If you look up Lez Boyd broken jaw, Yeah, he

500
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: can't flying in with just a straight pointed elbow to

501
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: the draw of Blocker Roach and got of Darryl Bowman.

502
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 2: I think it was oh sorry, you know big Man,

503
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: and he got twelve month suspension. Then he came back

504
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: three games later he I gouged a dude and got

505
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: a nine month suspension.

506
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: So you're saying Jared Haynes might be in the NRL

507
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame yet I've just just chuck it out there.

508
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: Bungees in there. They're going to announce another immortal. I

509
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: think later on this week. If you had to guess,

510
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: probably by the time this podcast comes out, people will

511
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: know who it is.

512
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: To guess, I'd say Bunty A four or Cam Smith.

513
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: It's got to be Cam'kim Smith for sure, isn't it.

514
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: He's he's getting inducted into the Hall of Fame.

515
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: It's got to be Cam Smith, the guy as much

516
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: as he grinds my gears as a player.

517
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was bloody Okay, So even it's between until

518
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: four and Camp Smith for the inductees. One last thing

519
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: before we take quick break. Latrovitch, have you seen this story?

520
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: He has now been asked to front the Rabbit O's board,

521
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: so obviously they put him on leave for the rest

522
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: of the season after photos allegedly came out of him

523
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: with some sort of white powder. We think he could

524
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: have been writing down his Kenot numbers or something like that.

525
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: You don't know what that white powder was. Who knows.

526
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: He could have been doing very specific baking.

527
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: That's right.

528
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes you really need to cut the flower up.

529
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: You know, could have spelled his well. Also, I see

530
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: they're changing his contract, so this is the thing. He

531
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: has to now go and face the I don't know

532
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: board whatever, and they're going to say, why shouldn't we

533
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: because he's breached his contract presumably, why shouldn't we should

534
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: a few times? Yeah, why shouldn't we downgrade you and

535
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: pay you lest next year? And he's gonna have to

536
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: fight for his contract there, And I dare say he'll

537
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: just turn around and be like, because you guys need me. Yeah.

538
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 2: I I love Latrelle And he was in such awesome

539
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: form before he got this. Liz frank in Yeah, list Frank,

540
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, Shout out to Liz.

541
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to Liz.

542
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: You've really heard a lot of players over the years.

543
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: She needs to be stopped.

544
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: But he was him in a great season. He had

545
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: the blinder in the Origin two game that really brought

546
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: New South Wales back into it. But I think people

547
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: struggle with him because if he makes a mistake, he's

548
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: not one to just wear it and apologize. He goes

549
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: into shutdown mode. Granted when it's around something like only

550
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: he can't you don't want to dub yourself in No,

551
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: maybe wait till the statute of limitations goes like fifteen

552
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: years was like, remember when Pong was in the toilet with.

553
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Man with kurk Man and they were talking about

554
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: real estate.

555
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just because there's nowhere else to really chat

556
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: about being a landlord.

557
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. So yeah, I don't know. I don't

558
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: think anything will come with that. I think they because

559
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: if I was Hime, I'd be like, okay, well then

560
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: in my contract and I'll go back to the Roosters

561
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: for you know, bazillion dollars a year. Well we'll go

562
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: to the Warriors as half which in blind eyes, all right,

563
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and when we come back,

564
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: guy is going to come off the back fence.

565
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: A long kicker the offload to head on and he

566
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: got the back fence food time.

567
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: Here we have it.

00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: We've got some tips for your bandwagon fans. We've got

569
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: your tips for your fans who have just slid onto

570
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: this Warriors bus after an amazing twenty twenty three season.

571
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: If you're one of those fans that you were tuning

572
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: into the Warriors back in ninety ninety five year John

573
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: Kirwin's you've just been watching Fanella Barfield on three point

574
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: forty five Live, then you stay up for the Warriors.

575
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: These tips might not be for you, because you know

576
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: how you roll as a Warriors fan. You know that

577
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: we've made the finals nine times out of third two years.

578
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: You know it's few and far between where we taste glory,

579
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: where we taste victory. But all these new ones, all

580
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: you jumped on last year, You think that every game

581
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: it's like going down to Studio fifty four and giving

582
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 2: Ryan Reynolds a blowy.

583
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's not like that. Sometimes you're the Empire, give

584
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Gobin off g Lane. You see. Sometimes it's not exactly

585
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: how you think it's gonna pan out.

586
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: It's not all superstars with a beautiful downstairs. Sometimes it's

587
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: a horrendous human being that you've just bumped into.

588
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: But you're giving it a goat because you love it.

589
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't quite know how to start, said to the Warriors,

590
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: but the point is. The point is it's not about winning.

591
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: We join the club to support the club, and if

592
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: you can't handle winning, if you can't handle losing, you

593
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: should just leave.

594
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: When we win, I'm a happy man. But if we lose,

595
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: who cares. It's just a game.

596
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: I can't change it. I can't change how the players

597
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: do it. I show up because I love the club.

598
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: I show up because my kids were raised out at

599
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: Mount Smart, go into the game since they were young,

600
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: and they feel part of the community. The Warriors are

601
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: a community. One day we'll get there. Will it be tomorrow? No?

602
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: Will it be next year? Probably not.

603
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: We might not even make the top eight next year.

604
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: But I'll be watching every game. Why because our bloody

605
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: love the club. All I'm saying is you gotta careless.

606
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: You got to careless, and don't give Glayne a gobby.

607
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,800
