1
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: Cura and welcome back to the Mad Monday Podcast are

2
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: brought to you by four and twenty pies. I'm talking

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: about the perfect at home snack for.

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Watching the rugby League.

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: You're with Die Henward and joining me this week have

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure of commentating with him on the weekend,

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: the wonderful Ben Early, How are you mate?

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: Look, I'm a bit gutted if I'm honest. There was

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: some hard loss to take in the weekend. I'm sure

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: we'll get into it. But not only do we did

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: that result happen, but then my other team lost in

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: Golden Points straight after it.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: I know it was I suppose for impartial rugby league

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: fans it was actually a great super Saturday of sport

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: because it's always wonderful when the go down to Golden Point,

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: but they fell on the wrong side of it for

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the fans. And we'll kick off with what was the

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Warriors losing in Golden Point to the Dogs thirteen to twelve.

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: To be honest, Ben, I thought by at a half

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: time that we were going to get the chocolates there

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: and it felt like everything that could go against us

22
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: did go against us, starting with our back three Dwz,

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Marcelo Montoya and Charns Nickel Klockstad Or ruling themselves out

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: of the game with injury.

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen an injury ward

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: quite that bad before in a Warriors team. We were

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: allowed to get the eighteenth man, and usually there's some

28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: sort of, you know, a situation where you were allowed

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: to have at least two players on the bench. But

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: going into an extended time game with only one player

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: on the bench is pre brutal. And I know, look,

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: it's it's it's sort of cold comfort. But at least

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: we showed a lot of heart in that loss.

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Oh you can't, you can't. You can't knock the Warriors.

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: And to add to your point, it's even more bizarre

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: when you lose three players and they're all sort of

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: effectively in the same position, if you know what I mean,

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: Like you lose the entire back. It's not like you'd

39
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: lose a forward, you lose a center, and you lose

40
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: a winger where you can start plugging holes. They were

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: there our whole like get out of the half, and

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: then it meant that webe I was listening to the

43
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: press conference, he said he actually missed a lot of

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: the game because he spent the whole time not watching

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the ball, watching where players were standing so he could

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: figure out who he's actually trying to juggle to there

47
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: and move to there. And I've got it. I'll tell

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: you who. I'll give big raps to Freddie Lussek. He

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: came out and played in the middle. He was taking

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: hit ups, his tackling was amazing. He had that awesome

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: steal of the ball where Reed Marney was facing the

52
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: wrong way on the play.

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: And as you.

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: Said, the Warriors have got to hold their heads up high.

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be a game that comes back to

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: haunt us. I think when we look at the standings

57
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: at the back of the year and let's look at

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: some positives in this game. How good was Lek a

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: halo seema seeing these young boys have good debuts.

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd put him in the same category as

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: as Jacob Laban is having a really strong debut. I

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: mean he almost scored like a halo seema. One of

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: the great steps of the game to go over the line,

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: unfortunately was held up. That would have been a dream

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: start and we really needed those points at that point.

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, you've got to look at the positives, you know.

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: I saw that press conference as well, and Webby was

68
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: basically going, we've got our resilience back. Unfortunately it's taken

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: till this point, well maybe the last I don't know,

70
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: probably four or five games. We've got our resilience back. Yeah,

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: of course you're sorry. It's at the time that was

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: a blit. But yeah, I don't know what was going

73
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: on at the start of the season, but we definitely

74
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: didn't have it. I still go back to that Melbourne

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: game that we lost in the last second and Xavier

76
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: Coats stumping down in the corner, and I think that

77
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: really dented our confidence for you know, a good sort

78
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: of half a dozen rounds.

79
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: You're so right.

80
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: Also, I looked to the game before that, that Sharks

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: game at home that we should have won, where we

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: were ahead and we just let them creep back in.

83
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: And I was looking back at last year, and it

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: actually turns out every sort of fifty to fifty momentum

85
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: thing last year went in our favor. We won those

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: two to four point games, we got the call, and

87
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: so forth it would go for us, whereas this year

88
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: it's the complete opposite. If the perfect storm can happen

89
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: against us, it seems to happen against us, and the

90
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: perfect storm seems to always actually be the Melbourne storm.

91
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: We just can't can't beat.

92
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Them at all, and it's looking a bit rugged now

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: because even though we can effectively make the eight, we've

94
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: got our two buys, We've got seven games.

95
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: We need to win six of them.

96
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: What's really hurting us is all the teams around us

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: are actually starting to fire now. Souths are actually on

98
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: a run. It feels like it's just us. We're at fourteenth.

99
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: It's us, the Titans, the Tigers and Paramatta are sort

100
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: of languishing around the bottom, and we're going to have

101
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: to really step up because I do think that eight

102
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: and nine, potentially eight, nine, ten could be on the

103
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: same points at the end of the season, and it's

104
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: going to be points differential.

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I wanted to go back to the Freddy

106
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: Lussick point because I watched rewatch the game and was

107
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: listening to the mainstream commentary and they started calling him

108
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 3: blocker Lussk, which I think they thought that they were

109
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: giving him a compliment because it was taking hit ups.

110
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: But of course we think of blockers a whole different thing.

111
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, as this sort of weird lean and drunkne

112
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: calor a wedding.

113
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I too.

114
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't actually bring myself to do a full rewatch

115
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: of that game, as it was so heartbreaking, but I

116
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: did the highlights, and it's so tough when you see

117
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: a game like that, and I was trying to look

118
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: for points where we could have won that because I'm

119
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: not one to blame the refs, but we have to

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: talk about it. This weak, gutted dog, Jamen Salmon and

121
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: that shot to add insult to injury. The judiciary cited

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: him and he's getting a two to three week band,

123
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: so that a two to three week ban says that that's.

124
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: A simmenable offense.

125
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: It was in front of the sticks with what a

126
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: few minutes to go in Golden Point.

127
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was the game. That was the game.

128
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: I don't know why the bunker couldn't have stepped in, like.

129
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: Because also he was spitting out teeth in a broken

130
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: jaw to Marty Martin, I was worried his jaw was

131
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: broken the way the trainer was wobbling it.

132
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: Oh, if you, if you do anything to Mighty Martin's face.

133
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: I will literally I will find out who you are,

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: where you live. I will hunt you down, and I

135
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: will kill you.

136
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Because there is two there's two issues on this one.

137
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: His shoulder made high contact as well, even if his

138
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: shoulder didn't make high contact, it was a reckless head clash.

139
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: He ran out of the line with reckless intent and

140
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: hit him late.

141
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: So that annoyed me.

142
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Also, what I only spied on the highlights when you

143
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: know when Reed Marney got his hand up and touched

144
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: the ball to stop it going over, he was a

145
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: meter and a half off side.

146
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: Oh, at least three meters off side, And.

147
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean the referee puts the whistle away at that point.

148
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: But it's just so frustrating that the two moments basically

149
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: won the drop goal would have won us to a

150
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: penalty would have won it for us, and they.

151
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: Were both on illegal plays.

152
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: And three Matt Burton, who now has won the game

153
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row with a drop goal.

154
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: He's a flat earther.

155
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: What so last year Matt Burton came out very bizarrely

156
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: in a press conference and said, and I'm not a

157
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: lot of what this matter is busy earth flat So anyway,

158
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: people thought he was joking. Then in an interview last

159
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: week they hit him up about it and he actually

160
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: started citing sources about why the Earth's flat, and weirdly,

161
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: the source he cited as a scientific experiment.

162
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Where the conclusion actually proves the Earth is round.

163
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a whole other dimension that I had

164
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: not affected him. So, I mean, I don't reckon that.

165
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: You know, like a Doggies fan traditionally not a New

166
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: Zealand Doggies fan, but a Sydney, Australia Canterbury fan is

167
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: generally not, you know, the most smart person on Earth.

168
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: No, the traditionally, traditionally.

169
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: Bulldogs fans are often immigrants from Europe.

170
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: All right, this doesn't make me sound good.

171
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: No, No, like just hardcore, working class.

172
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just I just find all I think of

173
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: when I think of the Bulldogs, like their nineties fans

174
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: that were just rabid and when they got a female

175
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: CEO just basically you know, did everything to try and

176
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: get her ousted, and she's a legend for sticking with

177
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: the job, to be honest, But I didn't think that

178
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: they were quite down to flat Earth believers.

179
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: There should be an episode of the ex files about

180
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Matt Burton.

181
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: Scullery Scalar of Moldy.

182
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Molder not Moldy Scollar.

183
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: Do you say Scalar and Moldy Scalar.

184
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: And Maory.

185
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: Sculler and Murray are there's a real different files.

186
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: That is a rural New Zealand X files Sculler and Murray.

187
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: We said before, We've said before that game, we said

188
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: it might be the actual real test of the season

189
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: because the Dogs were six. I think they put someone

190
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: to eat, like something like fourth now in the table.

191
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: The Dogs are flying at the moment, and to be honest,

192
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: full credit to what Cameron Sireldo has done in that

193
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: side because they defended their asses off. Like the point

194
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I was getting to before is outside of the reed

195
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: money off side and that high shot.

196
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: By Jamon Salmon.

197
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: We got over the line twice and were held up.

198
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: We had some very sloppy end of sets when we

199
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: were on attack there. Granted, it becomes very hard to

200
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: run your shape when your wingers and your fullback are

201
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: both off.

202
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: Also, Roger two of us a sheeck.

203
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Had that he dropped a bomb that was a bit

204
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: of a momentum shift that thankfully didn't come back to

205
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: hurt us because I believe with Sam Hughes and knocked

206
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: it on very soon afterwards. But we did have our

207
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: opportunities to ice that game.

208
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: Yes, But then so did Canterbury. I suppose, like we're

209
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: talking about the old flat earther, he hit the post

210
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: what twice before it actually went over?

211
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in front a couple of times. And

212
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: our credit to us, our defense was pretty epic. We

213
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: only let in what a try off, a kick and

214
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: an intercept, Like it wasn't that we had weak defense,

215
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Like they just read that beautifully on that short ball

216
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: to Marty Martin was trying to throw.

217
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: So do we have to die? Do we have to

218
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: face facts? Is that the season?

219
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm reticent to say it, but I think

220
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: it is. I mean I have sort of been I've

221
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: been secretly girding my loins for this moment that the

222
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: season was falling away. And I think it's just a

223
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: bit too far to try and win six from seven.

224
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: Well, to win the competition now, they literally have to

225
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: win every single game except one, well now and the

226
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: first weekend in October.

227
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and no, and none of those that loss cannot

228
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: happen in the finals, is there we even because we can't.

229
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: We can't make the top four, so we'd have to

230
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: sneak into the bottom of it. No team has won

231
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the competition from the bottom of the eight before, so

232
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a bridge too far. I think we

233
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: need to go on a run though, like to keep

234
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: some positivity around the side. I think it's now. Now

235
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: is the time.

236
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: To give.

237
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Boys like Lecqua Hala Sima Graham, Mola Tulfa Ali, Leahtawer

238
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: all these boys some game time to be honest.

239
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, who do we know who we're

240
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: losing next season? Are we losing anyone major?

241
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: So I think it's more young guys they haven't given

242
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: contracts to where the biggest loss obviously is AFB, but

243
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: that's nullified because James Fisher Harris is coming.

244
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: What I worry about is I think that.

245
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: We thought this year was our chance to win the

246
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: comp hence buying Roger two of arsus K.

247
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: And Kirk Capewell.

248
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: And the worry is I think both of them are

249
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: on three year deals and whether in that third.

250
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: Year of the deal whether they'll be worth their.

251
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Sult because I mean they're both amazing behind the scenes

252
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: in terms of old heads for the young guys, showing

253
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: them how to train, how to be a professional athlete,

254
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: how to be a professional league player. Two of us

255
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: are Sheck's amazing at that. But then I will worry

256
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: whether they're holding out these young guys from their positions,

257
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: and then the young guys look elsewhere. I also hear

258
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: that there's six clubs trying assigned to Martin Martin at

259
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: the moment.

260
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: Really because how old is he? He would be thirty with.

261
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Me, yeah, but bear in mind he had four years

262
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: three years out with that, so his body hasn't taken

263
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: the toll of those three year Oh yeah, good, and

264
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: halves go a bit longer, and we've got this worry

265
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: of of Sean Johnson's there next year and he's fit,

266
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: and to Marty's not getting game time because we've got

267
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: these four halves now, ht metcalf to Marty Martin and

268
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson. Just yeah, and just looked to Marty Martin

269
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: up on tender he's twenty eight.

270
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's thirty eight in real life.

271
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: Then okay, so he's still got quite a few years

272
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: left to them. But let's let's we should move on

273
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: but let's talk quickly about c HT. Like he is

274
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of rocks and diamonds at the moment.

275
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: He had some lovely moments, particularly on defense in that game,

276
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: but there was he basically butchered a try with the

277
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: I thought there was no real like butcher you know

278
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: tries or whatever, and now, but there was really because

279
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: he did that terrible no lock pass. Oh yeah, basically

280
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: clear and threw the ball over the sideline. But you know,

281
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: having said that, I still I still rate a massively

282
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 3: as a player.

283
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: This is a bit of the I think that this

284
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: was a great example of neither HT or to Marty

285
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Martin had a thoroughly good game, Like they didn't connect

286
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: like they had in the previous sort of outings together.

287
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: And it's an and I mean that I think that's

288
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: also because the Dogs were a better defensive side, and

289
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean, we were sort of raking it over the coals.

290
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: But that was a game we should have won. I

291
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: think if we're at home, we win that game.

292
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think if the ref was looking at the

293
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: right goddamn direction, we won that game. But yeah, I

294
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: mean they actually said it on the other commentary as well.

295
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 3: In that golden point. They said the refs put his

296
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: whistle in his sock.

297
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean Corey Parker was pretty adamant that

298
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: that was a penalty.

299
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, obviously was a penalty.

300
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: And today later this afternoon, no doubt, Graham and Isley

301
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: will give it the we'll give it the okay, guys,

302
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: sorry about that.

303
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: That should have been a penalty.

304
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got two points, duck.

305
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.

306
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: But we have a bye this week, guaranteed two points,

307
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: and then we will be back next Monday to discuss

308
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders game, which will be a very interesting game

309
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: because the Raiders are very much Rocks and Diamond side

310
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: and we're playing that at Goo Stadium. It feels like

311
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: our home games are very few and far between.

312
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: Hey, they all seem to be three or four weeks apart.

313
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought we were doing the whole playing over

314
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: there buzz like we did during COVID.

315
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Now yeah, no, there.

316
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: The NRL is reward barding us with less than half

317
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: of the games at home. For some reason, were the

318
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: only side that won't get half of our games at

319
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: home because and there's.

320
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: Something I heard something like the six of the last

321
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: seven of the Cowboys games are all at home. Yeah.

322
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: And so in round seventeen we had only had six

323
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: games at Mount Smart.

324
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and had we had one in christ yeah.

325
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: And one in christ Children. But still half of seventeen

326
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: is not seven.

327
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: No, you're right, But and what Brisbane.

328
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: Brisbane didn't leave no Queensland for four months. They've only

329
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: left Queensland once so far. I think it's I mean.

330
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: I think they've been on the road now and they're losing.

331
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Brisbane are having a bit of a

332
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: bit of a shambles.

333
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: I think they'll fall out.

334
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: It's anyone's competition that this except ours left ourse.

335
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: Well, that's what Manaia and I were about last week

336
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: is that it's such a weird random year, more so

337
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 3: than usual that when it happens like that, generally the

338
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 3: Melbourne Storm win because they're the most consistent side.

339
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: Yes, And I was looking at the looking at the

340
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: table and I was like, huh, Melbourne at top of

341
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: the table four points clear. Yeah, that's one thirteen games.

342
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: And also they haven't actually looked very good. There's a

343
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: lot of these games they just sneak over the line.

344
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: They're leading Penrith, who were on twenty six points Roosters

345
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: twenty four. To be honest, Melbourne Penrith and the Roosters

346
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: look so far ahead of any of the other teams

347
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: at the moment. They just seem to be, you know,

348
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: if the games are close at halftime, they seem to

349
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: be those sides that look like they're just playing with

350
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: their food a bit and then when they actually knuckle down,

351
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: they just put the points on.

352
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: But we'll put that Warriors side game to bed.

353
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: And everyone who's listening, I want to tell you about

364
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: with the Stonker of the Round. Welcome back to the

365
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: Mad Monday Podcast with Die Henwood and Ben Hurley.

366
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: It is now time for the Stonker of the round.

367
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: This is the Manly Seagles twenty one beating the Reverse

368
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: Cowgirls twenty absolutely chaos. How good was this game? Especially

369
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: when Scotty drinkboard. It's that huge two point field goal

370
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: to take it a golden point.

371
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, this is a great game. Don't get me wrong,

372
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: but it was. The Golden Point wasn't quite as frantic

373
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: as the game before it, the Warriors game. It was.

374
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: It was, It was real good, but it actually kind

375
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: of got overshadowed by a better Stonker, which was the

376
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: Warriors game.

377
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely, the Warriors was the Stonker.

378
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: And also watching this game, it felt like it went

379
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: to Golden Point in actual time because they sort of

380
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: got into a drop goal off with about five minutes

381
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: to go, and then so this is I I might

382
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: be off by one or two games. This is the

383
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: ninth time Daily Chair Evans has won it in Golden

384
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: Point for Manly.

385
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: He just knows how to ice those big games.

386
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: Now, the Warriors don't really have a great iss year

387
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 3: when it comes to drop goals. I think every I think,

388
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: I think every time we've won in Golden Point it's

389
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: been with a try or not completely but almost every

390
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: time right. But the Cowboys had almost too many people

391
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 3: going for drop goals. I loved the idea. They had

392
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: the decoy and it went to Vale Holmes who marked

393
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: it up. It was a great looking play, but the

394
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: execution wasn't there. But they had so many people lining up.

395
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: Manly only really had one. And that's all you need

396
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: when you've got the greatest golden point drop goal specialist.

397
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah that mad, That was the thing is I felt.

398
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: I felt the Cowboys actually overplayed their hand a little

399
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: bit in that when they should have just muscled up

400
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: and nailed it.

401
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: But there we go.

402
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Manly takes it and unfortunately Manly was one of those

403
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: teams that was mucking around with us on the ladder

404
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: and they were next to us on the ladder. Now

405
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: there's seventh and we are fourteenth. So that shows just

406
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: how quickly things can change in this game of rugby league.

407
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: But the big game, not part of the NRL, but

408
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: the game that a lot of us love. The State

409
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: of Origin. The teams have been announced. They look pretty interesting.

410
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: The Maroons are bought in Dane gag Guy, a man

411
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: who almost won New Super Coach on the weekend. He

412
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: had a blinder for Newcastle.

413
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: He did. He was on my side almost all of

414
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: last season and I don't know why hasn't been in,

415
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: but I literally bought him in this week and that's

416
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: one of my highest scores in Supercoach and I still

417
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: lost to you by four points.

418
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: It was a very close one and looking at other changes,

419
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: you've got to feel for Dave for Feeder, he has

420
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: not been put into the side. Kirk Capewell is ahead

421
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: of him. Kirk Capwell, who's not really even probably the

422
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: best back rower at our club.

423
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: He somehow gets in ahead of for Feeder.

424
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: How he can he's a utility now he can play wing.

425
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but he's actually he's in the run

426
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: on starting side in the back row.

427
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: So there's been a few changes.

428
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: Kaylen Ponger makes us return to the side.

429
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 2: He's in the seventeen Jersey.

430
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: There's chance that he will be playing more in the

431
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: fourteen Jersey and in the Blues side. The happiness is

432
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: Mitch Barnett's gonna play.

433
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeap, huge for him. He had a massive game on

434
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: the weekend. They keep calling him the work horse, but

435
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: I think he's better than that, because sometimes work horses

436
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: are a little bit kind of you know, journeyman or whatever.

437
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 3: But I think he's got such a great offload and

438
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: he's really you know, being part of a warrior's side's

439
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: really pumped up his manner this year.

440
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well what I think he did over two hundred

441
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: meters and fifty five tackles.

442
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: That's not a workhourse. That's just having a blinder of

443
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: a game.

444
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: Like he stoked for him.

445
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: So stoked for him.

446
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Bradman Best is into the centers, the beast, the routed

447
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: up beast, although there's rumors that he's injured now as well,

448
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: so he'll come out and maybe the flat earther Matt

449
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: Burton might slot in.

450
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: So yes, Leui and Moses. It's a combination that New

451
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 3: South Wales have tried a lot over the last few years.

452
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: I think it worked for the first time ever in

453
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: game two work really well. Mitchell Moses. You know, he's

454
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: like the greatest half on paper that you could ever have.

455
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 3: Like if he was in a video game, he'd have

456
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: like all the things that you know, all the graphs

457
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: at full you know, one under, but he just doesn't

458
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: quite have expected for me.

459
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: No completely and also he he either fully fires or doesn't,

460
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: so it'll be intriguing to see what happens because the

461
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: odds are against him.

462
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: They barely.

463
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: I think I've only ever won two deciders up at

464
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: sun Court Stadium and it'll be interesting seeing Selwyn Cobbo

465
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: and Vale Holmes on the wing because Murray tal Lunge

466
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: is out. So it's gonna be one hell of a game.

467
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: We'll be bringing you the coverage not this Wednesday but

468
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: next Wednesday. And it's actually it's how bloody awesome is

469
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: it to see.

470
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: State of Origin going down to a decider?

471
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just nice for New

472
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 3: South Wales to keep the series alive for another game,

473
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: you know, because you know that third game being a

474
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 3: dead rubber every single year. It's just, you know, it's

475
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: a little bit well, it's just you know, it gets

476
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: a bit boring, doesn't it. So you're not nice that

477
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: we threw your bone and game two.

478
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: Here we go.

479
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: The New South Wales team definitely underdogs here and I

480
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: maintain I personally think they should have the two home

481
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: games first New South Wales then sun Court, then have

482
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: the third games the neutral.

483
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. But I guess, so then when

484
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 3: not do it that way?

485
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: So then when it goes to a decider, it's the

486
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: neutral ground.

487
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so why don't they do it that way?

488
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

489
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: Just see, it just just seems to make a hell

490
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: of a lot more sense to me.

491
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, I guess I don't know. They all

492
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: sell out anyway, it doesn't matter.

493
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it's going to be exciting origin and with

494
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: no Warriors game this weekend, that's the one we're going

495
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: to be looking forward to.

496
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: But right now it's time for die. Heenwins off the

497
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: back fence.

498
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: A long kicker, the offloadsher Heyon and he's got some

499
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: back fence boof time. Look look out there, sports fans.

500
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: This isn't just to Warriors fans. This is to your

501
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: sports fans. Pull up your pants and put your fingers away.

502
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: When it comes to Instagram, you need to stop paying

503
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: out on players. When Sean Johnson was playing, everyone was, oh, bloody,

504
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson doesn't know what he's doing.

505
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't know. He's got to be out of the team.

506
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: He's bloody, gotta have to marry Martin and HD and

507
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: the halfs.

508
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: Why do we sign Sean Johnson, then after this week

509
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: everyone's oh, we can't have bloody Cht in the side.

510
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: The only person who knows how to kick a drop

511
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: goal is Sean Johnson.

512
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: You need to sort yourselves out.

513
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: Just quietly talk to yourself about why you don't like players.

514
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: You don't need to publicly pay out on players.

515
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: It demoralizes them, It makes them stay off social media

516
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: and makes them not want to engage. Okay, look, look fans,

517
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: we are part of the club. I believe we're part

518
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: of the club. If you're a paying member, you're part

519
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: of the club. You have your right to an opinion.

520
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. But before you get on and

521
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: you just want to fully blow one of these dudes,

522
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: not blow one of.

523
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: Them, like yes, sorry, you want to yell at them.

524
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: You want to do the opposite of blowing one of

525
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: these dudes. You want to unblow them. You're trying to

526
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to just pay out on them. I don't

527
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: understand it. We're meant to be bringing up our boys.

528
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, a high tide brings all boats slightly higher

529
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: up in buoyancy, or as some similar phrase, you know,

530
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: a rising tide lie lowers or bridges. I don't know

531
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: what the phrase is. All I'm saying is you're back

532
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: the boys. You think your negativity privately, you don't put

533
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 1: it out there on social media. We want a positive society,

534
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: we want a positive team and if we're going to

535
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: get to the top eight, we need to win six

536
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: or seven and it's not gonna happen by paying out

537
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: our boys on Insta.

538
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah here, amen to that.

539
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,920

00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,520
