Speaker 1: Cura and welcome back to the Mad Monday Podcast are
Speaker 1: brought to you by four and twenty pies. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the perfect at home snack for.
Speaker 2: Watching the rugby League.
Speaker 1: You're with Die Henward and joining me this week have
Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure of commentating with him on the weekend,
Speaker 1: the wonderful Ben Early, How are you mate?
Speaker 3: Look, I'm a bit gutted if I'm honest. There was
Speaker 3: some hard loss to take in the weekend. I'm sure
Speaker 3: we'll get into it. But not only do we did
Speaker 3: that result happen, but then my other team lost in
Speaker 3: Golden Points straight after it.
Speaker 1: I know it was I suppose for impartial rugby league
Speaker 1: fans it was actually a great super Saturday of sport
Speaker 1: because it's always wonderful when the go down to Golden Point,
Speaker 1: but they fell on the wrong side of it for
Speaker 1: the fans. And we'll kick off with what was the
Speaker 1: Warriors losing in Golden Point to the Dogs thirteen to twelve.
Speaker 1: To be honest, Ben, I thought by at a half
Speaker 1: time that we were going to get the chocolates there
Speaker 1: and it felt like everything that could go against us
Speaker 1: did go against us, starting with our back three Dwz,
Speaker 1: Marcelo Montoya and Charns Nickel Klockstad Or ruling themselves out
Speaker 1: of the game with injury.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen an injury ward
Speaker 3: quite that bad before in a Warriors team. We were
Speaker 3: allowed to get the eighteenth man, and usually there's some
Speaker 3: sort of, you know, a situation where you were allowed
Speaker 3: to have at least two players on the bench. But
Speaker 3: going into an extended time game with only one player
Speaker 3: on the bench is pre brutal. And I know, look,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's sort of cold comfort. But at least
Speaker 3: we showed a lot of heart in that loss.
Speaker 2: Oh you can't, you can't. You can't knock the Warriors.
Speaker 1: And to add to your point, it's even more bizarre
Speaker 1: when you lose three players and they're all sort of
Speaker 1: effectively in the same position, if you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you lose the entire back. It's not like you'd
Speaker 1: lose a forward, you lose a center, and you lose
Speaker 1: a winger where you can start plugging holes. They were
Speaker 1: there our whole like get out of the half, and
Speaker 1: then it meant that webe I was listening to the
Speaker 1: press conference, he said he actually missed a lot of
Speaker 1: the game because he spent the whole time not watching
Speaker 1: the ball, watching where players were standing so he could
Speaker 1: figure out who he's actually trying to juggle to there
Speaker 1: and move to there. And I've got it. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you who. I'll give big raps to Freddie Lussek. He
Speaker 1: came out and played in the middle. He was taking
Speaker 1: hit ups, his tackling was amazing. He had that awesome
Speaker 1: steal of the ball where Reed Marney was facing the
Speaker 1: wrong way on the play.
Speaker 2: And as you.
Speaker 1: Said, the Warriors have got to hold their heads up high.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a game that comes back to
Speaker 1: haunt us. I think when we look at the standings
Speaker 1: at the back of the year and let's look at
Speaker 1: some positives in this game. How good was Lek a
Speaker 1: halo seema seeing these young boys have good debuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd put him in the same category as
Speaker 3: as Jacob Laban is having a really strong debut. I
Speaker 3: mean he almost scored like a halo seema. One of
Speaker 3: the great steps of the game to go over the line,
Speaker 3: unfortunately was held up. That would have been a dream
Speaker 3: start and we really needed those points at that point.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you've got to look at the positives, you know.
Speaker 3: I saw that press conference as well, and Webby was
Speaker 3: basically going, we've got our resilience back. Unfortunately it's taken
Speaker 3: till this point, well maybe the last I don't know,
Speaker 3: probably four or five games. We've got our resilience back. Yeah,
Speaker 3: of course you're sorry. It's at the time that was
Speaker 3: a blit. But yeah, I don't know what was going
Speaker 3: on at the start of the season, but we definitely
Speaker 3: didn't have it. I still go back to that Melbourne
Speaker 3: game that we lost in the last second and Xavier
Speaker 3: Coats stumping down in the corner, and I think that
Speaker 3: really dented our confidence for you know, a good sort
Speaker 3: of half a dozen rounds.
Speaker 2: You're so right.
Speaker 1: Also, I looked to the game before that, that Sharks
Speaker 1: game at home that we should have won, where we
Speaker 1: were ahead and we just let them creep back in.
Speaker 1: And I was looking back at last year, and it
Speaker 1: actually turns out every sort of fifty to fifty momentum
Speaker 1: thing last year went in our favor. We won those
Speaker 1: two to four point games, we got the call, and
Speaker 1: so forth it would go for us, whereas this year
Speaker 1: it's the complete opposite. If the perfect storm can happen
Speaker 1: against us, it seems to happen against us, and the
Speaker 1: perfect storm seems to always actually be the Melbourne storm.
Speaker 2: We just can't can't beat.
Speaker 1: Them at all, and it's looking a bit rugged now
Speaker 1: because even though we can effectively make the eight, we've
Speaker 1: got our two buys, We've got seven games.
Speaker 2: We need to win six of them.
Speaker 1: What's really hurting us is all the teams around us
Speaker 1: are actually starting to fire now. Souths are actually on
Speaker 1: a run. It feels like it's just us. We're at fourteenth.
Speaker 1: It's us, the Titans, the Tigers and Paramatta are sort
Speaker 1: of languishing around the bottom, and we're going to have
Speaker 1: to really step up because I do think that eight
Speaker 1: and nine, potentially eight, nine, ten could be on the
Speaker 1: same points at the end of the season, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be points differential.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I wanted to go back to the Freddy
Speaker 3: Lussick point because I watched rewatch the game and was
Speaker 3: listening to the mainstream commentary and they started calling him
Speaker 3: blocker Lussk, which I think they thought that they were
Speaker 3: giving him a compliment because it was taking hit ups.
Speaker 3: But of course we think of blockers a whole different thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, as this sort of weird lean and drunkne
Speaker 1: calor a wedding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I too.
Speaker 1: I couldn't actually bring myself to do a full rewatch
Speaker 1: of that game, as it was so heartbreaking, but I
Speaker 1: did the highlights, and it's so tough when you see
Speaker 1: a game like that, and I was trying to look
Speaker 1: for points where we could have won that because I'm
Speaker 1: not one to blame the refs, but we have to
Speaker 1: talk about it. This weak, gutted dog, Jamen Salmon and
Speaker 1: that shot to add insult to injury. The judiciary cited
Speaker 1: him and he's getting a two to three week band,
Speaker 1: so that a two to three week ban says that that's.
Speaker 2: A simmenable offense.
Speaker 1: It was in front of the sticks with what a
Speaker 1: few minutes to go in Golden Point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was the game. That was the game.
Speaker 3: I don't know why the bunker couldn't have stepped in, like.
Speaker 1: Because also he was spitting out teeth in a broken
Speaker 1: jaw to Marty Martin, I was worried his jaw was
Speaker 1: broken the way the trainer was wobbling it.
Speaker 3: Oh, if you, if you do anything to Mighty Martin's face.
Speaker 3: I will literally I will find out who you are,
Speaker 3: where you live. I will hunt you down, and I
Speaker 3: will kill you.
Speaker 2: Because there is two there's two issues on this one.
Speaker 1: His shoulder made high contact as well, even if his
Speaker 1: shoulder didn't make high contact, it was a reckless head clash.
Speaker 1: He ran out of the line with reckless intent and
Speaker 1: hit him late.
Speaker 2: So that annoyed me.
Speaker 1: Also, what I only spied on the highlights when you
Speaker 1: know when Reed Marney got his hand up and touched
Speaker 1: the ball to stop it going over, he was a
Speaker 1: meter and a half off side.
Speaker 3: Oh, at least three meters off side, And.
Speaker 1: I mean the referee puts the whistle away at that point.
Speaker 1: But it's just so frustrating that the two moments basically
Speaker 1: won the drop goal would have won us to a
Speaker 1: penalty would have won it for us, and they.
Speaker 2: Were both on illegal plays.
Speaker 1: And three Matt Burton, who now has won the game
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row with a drop goal.
Speaker 2: He's a flat earther.
Speaker 1: What so last year Matt Burton came out very bizarrely
Speaker 1: in a press conference and said, and I'm not a
Speaker 1: lot of what this matter is busy earth flat So anyway,
Speaker 1: people thought he was joking. Then in an interview last
Speaker 1: week they hit him up about it and he actually
Speaker 1: started citing sources about why the Earth's flat, and weirdly,
Speaker 1: the source he cited as a scientific experiment.
Speaker 2: Where the conclusion actually proves the Earth is round.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a whole other dimension that I had
Speaker 3: not affected him. So, I mean, I don't reckon that.
Speaker 3: You know, like a Doggies fan traditionally not a New
Speaker 3: Zealand Doggies fan, but a Sydney, Australia Canterbury fan is
Speaker 3: generally not, you know, the most smart person on Earth.
Speaker 2: No, the traditionally, traditionally.
Speaker 1: Bulldogs fans are often immigrants from Europe.
Speaker 3: All right, this doesn't make me sound good.
Speaker 2: No, No, like just hardcore, working class.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just I just find all I think of
Speaker 3: when I think of the Bulldogs, like their nineties fans
Speaker 3: that were just rabid and when they got a female
Speaker 3: CEO just basically you know, did everything to try and
Speaker 3: get her ousted, and she's a legend for sticking with
Speaker 3: the job, to be honest, But I didn't think that
Speaker 3: they were quite down to flat Earth believers.
Speaker 1: There should be an episode of the ex files about
Speaker 1: Matt Burton.
Speaker 2: Scullery Scalar of Moldy.
Speaker 1: Molder not Moldy Scollar.
Speaker 3: Do you say Scalar and Moldy Scalar.
Speaker 2: And Maory.
Speaker 1: Sculler and Murray are there's a real different files.
Speaker 2: That is a rural New Zealand X files Sculler and Murray.
Speaker 3: We said before, We've said before that game, we said
Speaker 3: it might be the actual real test of the season
Speaker 3: because the Dogs were six. I think they put someone
Speaker 3: to eat, like something like fourth now in the table.
Speaker 1: The Dogs are flying at the moment, and to be honest,
Speaker 1: full credit to what Cameron Sireldo has done in that
Speaker 1: side because they defended their asses off. Like the point
Speaker 1: I was getting to before is outside of the reed
Speaker 1: money off side and that high shot.
Speaker 2: By Jamon Salmon.
Speaker 1: We got over the line twice and were held up.
Speaker 1: We had some very sloppy end of sets when we
Speaker 1: were on attack there. Granted, it becomes very hard to
Speaker 1: run your shape when your wingers and your fullback are
Speaker 1: both off.
Speaker 2: Also, Roger two of us a sheeck.
Speaker 1: Had that he dropped a bomb that was a bit
Speaker 1: of a momentum shift that thankfully didn't come back to
Speaker 1: hurt us because I believe with Sam Hughes and knocked
Speaker 1: it on very soon afterwards. But we did have our
Speaker 1: opportunities to ice that game.
Speaker 3: Yes, But then so did Canterbury. I suppose, like we're
Speaker 3: talking about the old flat earther, he hit the post
Speaker 3: what twice before it actually went over?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in front a couple of times. And
Speaker 1: our credit to us, our defense was pretty epic. We
Speaker 1: only let in what a try off, a kick and
Speaker 1: an intercept, Like it wasn't that we had weak defense,
Speaker 1: Like they just read that beautifully on that short ball
Speaker 1: to Marty Martin was trying to throw.
Speaker 3: So do we have to die? Do we have to
Speaker 3: face facts? Is that the season?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm reticent to say it, but I think
Speaker 1: it is. I mean I have sort of been I've
Speaker 1: been secretly girding my loins for this moment that the
Speaker 1: season was falling away. And I think it's just a
Speaker 1: bit too far to try and win six from seven.
Speaker 3: Well, to win the competition now, they literally have to
Speaker 3: win every single game except one, well now and the
Speaker 3: first weekend in October.
Speaker 1: Yes, and no, and none of those that loss cannot
Speaker 1: happen in the finals, is there we even because we can't.
Speaker 1: We can't make the top four, so we'd have to
Speaker 1: sneak into the bottom of it. No team has won
Speaker 1: the competition from the bottom of the eight before, so
Speaker 1: I think it's a bridge too far. I think we
Speaker 1: need to go on a run though, like to keep
Speaker 1: some positivity around the side. I think it's now. Now
Speaker 1: is the time.
Speaker 2: To give.
Speaker 1: Boys like Lecqua Hala Sima Graham, Mola Tulfa Ali, Leahtawer
Speaker 1: all these boys some game time to be honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, who do we know who we're
Speaker 3: losing next season? Are we losing anyone major?
Speaker 1: So I think it's more young guys they haven't given
Speaker 1: contracts to where the biggest loss obviously is AFB, but
Speaker 1: that's nullified because James Fisher Harris is coming.
Speaker 2: What I worry about is I think that.
Speaker 1: We thought this year was our chance to win the
Speaker 1: comp hence buying Roger two of arsus K.
Speaker 2: And Kirk Capewell.
Speaker 1: And the worry is I think both of them are
Speaker 1: on three year deals and whether in that third.
Speaker 2: Year of the deal whether they'll be worth their.
Speaker 1: Sult because I mean they're both amazing behind the scenes
Speaker 1: in terms of old heads for the young guys, showing
Speaker 1: them how to train, how to be a professional athlete,
Speaker 1: how to be a professional league player. Two of us
Speaker 1: are Sheck's amazing at that. But then I will worry
Speaker 1: whether they're holding out these young guys from their positions,
Speaker 1: and then the young guys look elsewhere. I also hear
Speaker 1: that there's six clubs trying assigned to Martin Martin at
Speaker 1: the moment.
Speaker 3: Really because how old is he? He would be thirty with.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah, but bear in mind he had four years
Speaker 1: three years out with that, so his body hasn't taken
Speaker 1: the toll of those three year Oh yeah, good, and
Speaker 1: halves go a bit longer, and we've got this worry
Speaker 1: of of Sean Johnson's there next year and he's fit,
Speaker 1: and to Marty's not getting game time because we've got
Speaker 1: these four halves now, ht metcalf to Marty Martin and
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson. Just yeah, and just looked to Marty Martin
Speaker 1: up on tender he's twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's thirty eight in real life.
Speaker 3: Then okay, so he's still got quite a few years
Speaker 3: left to them. But let's let's we should move on
Speaker 3: but let's talk quickly about c HT. Like he is
Speaker 3: a little bit of rocks and diamonds at the moment.
Speaker 3: He had some lovely moments, particularly on defense in that game,
Speaker 3: but there was he basically butchered a try with the
Speaker 3: I thought there was no real like butcher you know
Speaker 3: tries or whatever, and now, but there was really because
Speaker 3: he did that terrible no lock pass. Oh yeah, basically
Speaker 3: clear and threw the ball over the sideline. But you know,
Speaker 3: having said that, I still I still rate a massively
Speaker 3: as a player.
Speaker 1: This is a bit of the I think that this
Speaker 1: was a great example of neither HT or to Marty
Speaker 1: Martin had a thoroughly good game, Like they didn't connect
Speaker 1: like they had in the previous sort of outings together.
Speaker 1: And it's an and I mean that I think that's
Speaker 1: also because the Dogs were a better defensive side, and
Speaker 1: I mean, we were sort of raking it over the coals.
Speaker 1: But that was a game we should have won. I
Speaker 1: think if we're at home, we win that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think if the ref was looking at the
Speaker 3: right goddamn direction, we won that game. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean they actually said it on the other commentary as well.
Speaker 3: In that golden point. They said the refs put his
Speaker 3: whistle in his sock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean Corey Parker was pretty adamant that
Speaker 1: that was a penalty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, obviously was a penalty.
Speaker 1: And today later this afternoon, no doubt, Graham and Isley
Speaker 1: will give it the we'll give it the okay, guys,
Speaker 1: sorry about that.
Speaker 2: That should have been a penalty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got two points, duck.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But we have a bye this week, guaranteed two points,
Speaker 1: and then we will be back next Monday to discuss
Speaker 1: the Raiders game, which will be a very interesting game
Speaker 1: because the Raiders are very much Rocks and Diamond side
Speaker 1: and we're playing that at Goo Stadium. It feels like
Speaker 1: our home games are very few and far between.
Speaker 2: Hey, they all seem to be three or four weeks apart.
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought we were doing the whole playing over
Speaker 3: there buzz like we did during COVID.
Speaker 2: Now yeah, no, there.
Speaker 1: The NRL is reward barding us with less than half
Speaker 1: of the games at home. For some reason, were the
Speaker 1: only side that won't get half of our games at
Speaker 1: home because and there's.
Speaker 3: Something I heard something like the six of the last
Speaker 3: seven of the Cowboys games are all at home. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so in round seventeen we had only had six
Speaker 1: games at Mount Smart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and had we had one in christ yeah.
Speaker 1: And one in christ Children. But still half of seventeen
Speaker 1: is not seven.
Speaker 2: No, you're right, But and what Brisbane.
Speaker 1: Brisbane didn't leave no Queensland for four months. They've only
Speaker 1: left Queensland once so far. I think it's I mean.
Speaker 3: I think they've been on the road now and they're losing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Brisbane are having a bit of a
Speaker 1: bit of a shambles.
Speaker 2: I think they'll fall out.
Speaker 1: It's anyone's competition that this except ours left ourse.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what Manaia and I were about last week
Speaker 3: is that it's such a weird random year, more so
Speaker 3: than usual that when it happens like that, generally the
Speaker 3: Melbourne Storm win because they're the most consistent side.
Speaker 1: Yes, And I was looking at the looking at the
Speaker 1: table and I was like, huh, Melbourne at top of
Speaker 1: the table four points clear. Yeah, that's one thirteen games.
Speaker 1: And also they haven't actually looked very good. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of these games they just sneak over the line.
Speaker 1: They're leading Penrith, who were on twenty six points Roosters
Speaker 1: twenty four. To be honest, Melbourne Penrith and the Roosters
Speaker 1: look so far ahead of any of the other teams
Speaker 1: at the moment. They just seem to be, you know,
Speaker 1: if the games are close at halftime, they seem to
Speaker 1: be those sides that look like they're just playing with
Speaker 1: their food a bit and then when they actually knuckle down,
Speaker 1: they just put the points on.
Speaker 2: But we'll put that Warriors side game to bed.
Speaker 1: And everyone who's listening, I want to tell you about
Speaker 1: the four and twenty four pack prize pack. Each month
Speaker 1: the Mad Monday team, that's us. We're giving away four
Speaker 1: tickets to the next home game and four four and
Speaker 1: twenty PI vouchers to enter. Just text the monthly keyword
Speaker 1: to three two three six. Listen to podcast steps to
Speaker 1: find out what that keyword is. You want to know
Speaker 1: what it is. This keyword is spit, as in spit
Speaker 1: on that thing, hock tour. Spit. Text that to three
Speaker 1: two three six to be in to win. We're going
Speaker 1: to go to an end, then we'll be back shortly
Speaker 1: with the Stonker of the Round. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Mad Monday Podcast with Die Henwood and Ben Hurley.
Speaker 2: It is now time for the Stonker of the round.
Speaker 1: This is the Manly Seagles twenty one beating the Reverse
Speaker 1: Cowgirls twenty absolutely chaos. How good was this game? Especially
Speaker 1: when Scotty drinkboard. It's that huge two point field goal
Speaker 1: to take it a golden point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, this is a great game. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: but it was. The Golden Point wasn't quite as frantic
Speaker 3: as the game before it, the Warriors game. It was.
Speaker 3: It was, It was real good, but it actually kind
Speaker 3: of got overshadowed by a better Stonker, which was the
Speaker 3: Warriors game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely, the Warriors was the Stonker.
Speaker 1: And also watching this game, it felt like it went
Speaker 1: to Golden Point in actual time because they sort of
Speaker 1: got into a drop goal off with about five minutes
Speaker 1: to go, and then so this is I I might
Speaker 1: be off by one or two games. This is the
Speaker 1: ninth time Daily Chair Evans has won it in Golden
Speaker 1: Point for Manly.
Speaker 2: He just knows how to ice those big games.
Speaker 3: Now, the Warriors don't really have a great iss year
Speaker 3: when it comes to drop goals. I think every I think,
Speaker 3: I think every time we've won in Golden Point it's
Speaker 3: been with a try or not completely but almost every
Speaker 3: time right. But the Cowboys had almost too many people
Speaker 3: going for drop goals. I loved the idea. They had
Speaker 3: the decoy and it went to Vale Holmes who marked
Speaker 3: it up. It was a great looking play, but the
Speaker 3: execution wasn't there. But they had so many people lining up.
Speaker 3: Manly only really had one. And that's all you need
Speaker 3: when you've got the greatest golden point drop goal specialist.
Speaker 2: Yeah that mad, That was the thing is I felt.
Speaker 1: I felt the Cowboys actually overplayed their hand a little
Speaker 1: bit in that when they should have just muscled up
Speaker 1: and nailed it.
Speaker 2: But there we go.
Speaker 1: Manly takes it and unfortunately Manly was one of those
Speaker 1: teams that was mucking around with us on the ladder
Speaker 1: and they were next to us on the ladder. Now
Speaker 1: there's seventh and we are fourteenth. So that shows just
Speaker 1: how quickly things can change in this game of rugby league.
Speaker 1: But the big game, not part of the NRL, but
Speaker 1: the game that a lot of us love. The State
Speaker 1: of Origin. The teams have been announced. They look pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: The Maroons are bought in Dane gag Guy, a man
Speaker 1: who almost won New Super Coach on the weekend. He
Speaker 1: had a blinder for Newcastle.
Speaker 3: He did. He was on my side almost all of
Speaker 3: last season and I don't know why hasn't been in,
Speaker 3: but I literally bought him in this week and that's
Speaker 3: one of my highest scores in Supercoach and I still
Speaker 3: lost to you by four points.
Speaker 1: It was a very close one and looking at other changes,
Speaker 1: you've got to feel for Dave for Feeder, he has
Speaker 1: not been put into the side. Kirk Capewell is ahead
Speaker 1: of him. Kirk Capwell, who's not really even probably the
Speaker 1: best back rower at our club.
Speaker 2: He somehow gets in ahead of for Feeder.
Speaker 3: How he can he's a utility now he can play wing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but he's actually he's in the run
Speaker 1: on starting side in the back row.
Speaker 2: So there's been a few changes.
Speaker 1: Kaylen Ponger makes us return to the side.
Speaker 2: He's in the seventeen Jersey.
Speaker 1: There's chance that he will be playing more in the
Speaker 1: fourteen Jersey and in the Blues side. The happiness is
Speaker 1: Mitch Barnett's gonna play.
Speaker 3: Yeap, huge for him. He had a massive game on
Speaker 3: the weekend. They keep calling him the work horse, but
Speaker 3: I think he's better than that, because sometimes work horses
Speaker 3: are a little bit kind of you know, journeyman or whatever.
Speaker 3: But I think he's got such a great offload and
Speaker 3: he's really you know, being part of a warrior's side's
Speaker 3: really pumped up his manner this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well what I think he did over two hundred
Speaker 1: meters and fifty five tackles.
Speaker 2: That's not a workhourse. That's just having a blinder of
Speaker 2: a game.
Speaker 3: Like he stoked for him.
Speaker 2: So stoked for him.
Speaker 1: Bradman Best is into the centers, the beast, the routed
Speaker 1: up beast, although there's rumors that he's injured now as well,
Speaker 1: so he'll come out and maybe the flat earther Matt
Speaker 1: Burton might slot in.
Speaker 3: So yes, Leui and Moses. It's a combination that New
Speaker 3: South Wales have tried a lot over the last few years.
Speaker 3: I think it worked for the first time ever in
Speaker 3: game two work really well. Mitchell Moses. You know, he's
Speaker 3: like the greatest half on paper that you could ever have.
Speaker 3: Like if he was in a video game, he'd have
Speaker 3: like all the things that you know, all the graphs
Speaker 3: at full you know, one under, but he just doesn't
Speaker 3: quite have expected for me.
Speaker 1: No completely and also he he either fully fires or doesn't,
Speaker 1: so it'll be intriguing to see what happens because the
Speaker 1: odds are against him.
Speaker 2: They barely.
Speaker 1: I think I've only ever won two deciders up at
Speaker 1: sun Court Stadium and it'll be interesting seeing Selwyn Cobbo
Speaker 1: and Vale Holmes on the wing because Murray tal Lunge
Speaker 1: is out. So it's gonna be one hell of a game.
Speaker 1: We'll be bringing you the coverage not this Wednesday but
Speaker 1: next Wednesday. And it's actually it's how bloody awesome is
Speaker 1: it to see.
Speaker 2: State of Origin going down to a decider?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just nice for New
Speaker 3: South Wales to keep the series alive for another game,
Speaker 3: you know, because you know that third game being a
Speaker 3: dead rubber every single year. It's just, you know, it's
Speaker 3: a little bit well, it's just you know, it gets
Speaker 3: a bit boring, doesn't it. So you're not nice that
Speaker 3: we threw your bone and game two.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 1: The New South Wales team definitely underdogs here and I
Speaker 1: maintain I personally think they should have the two home
Speaker 1: games first New South Wales then sun Court, then have
Speaker 1: the third games the neutral.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. But I guess, so then when
Speaker 3: not do it that way?
Speaker 1: So then when it goes to a decider, it's the
Speaker 1: neutral ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so why don't they do it that way?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Just see, it just just seems to make a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot more sense to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, I guess I don't know. They all
Speaker 3: sell out anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it's going to be exciting origin and with
Speaker 1: no Warriors game this weekend, that's the one we're going
Speaker 1: to be looking forward to.
Speaker 2: But right now it's time for die. Heenwins off the
Speaker 2: back fence.
Speaker 1: A long kicker, the offloadsher Heyon and he's got some
Speaker 1: back fence boof time. Look look out there, sports fans.
Speaker 1: This isn't just to Warriors fans. This is to your
Speaker 1: sports fans. Pull up your pants and put your fingers away.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Instagram, you need to stop paying
Speaker 1: out on players. When Sean Johnson was playing, everyone was, oh, bloody,
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson doesn't know what he's doing.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know. He's got to be out of the team.
Speaker 2: He's bloody, gotta have to marry Martin and HD and
Speaker 2: the halfs.
Speaker 1: Why do we sign Sean Johnson, then after this week
Speaker 1: everyone's oh, we can't have bloody Cht in the side.
Speaker 1: The only person who knows how to kick a drop
Speaker 1: goal is Sean Johnson.
Speaker 2: You need to sort yourselves out.
Speaker 1: Just quietly talk to yourself about why you don't like players.
Speaker 2: You don't need to publicly pay out on players.
Speaker 1: It demoralizes them, It makes them stay off social media
Speaker 1: and makes them not want to engage. Okay, look, look fans,
Speaker 1: we are part of the club. I believe we're part
Speaker 1: of the club. If you're a paying member, you're part
Speaker 1: of the club. You have your right to an opinion.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. But before you get on and
Speaker 1: you just want to fully blow one of these dudes,
Speaker 1: not blow one of.
Speaker 2: Them, like yes, sorry, you want to yell at them.
Speaker 1: You want to do the opposite of blowing one of
Speaker 1: these dudes. You want to unblow them. You're trying to
Speaker 1: you're trying to just pay out on them. I don't
Speaker 1: understand it. We're meant to be bringing up our boys.
Speaker 1: You know, a high tide brings all boats slightly higher
Speaker 1: up in buoyancy, or as some similar phrase, you know,
Speaker 1: a rising tide lie lowers or bridges. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the phrase is. All I'm saying is you're back
Speaker 1: the boys. You think your negativity privately, you don't put
Speaker 1: it out there on social media. We want a positive society,
Speaker 1: we want a positive team and if we're going to
Speaker 1: get to the top eight, we need to win six
Speaker 1: or seven and it's not gonna happen by paying out
Speaker 1: our boys on Insta.
Speaker 3: Yeah here, amen to that.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I got that off my chest. Sounded a
Speaker 1: bit like a mad Traveler. And while I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the Mad Traveler, four and twenty is giving you the
Speaker 1: opportunity to see the Warriors and Bulldogs on August the
Speaker 1: twenty third. Thanks to the Mad Traveler, this includes flights
Speaker 1: ACM and five hund oh cash. If you want that,
Speaker 1: text Pie to three two three six and you're into win.
Speaker 1: That's all thanks to four and twenty and their delicious
Speaker 1: rectangular shaped Traveler Pie. Ben A pleasure talking to you
Speaker 1: towards a bit relaxing when there's not a Warriors game.
Speaker 2: We can just enjoy a small round and I have
Speaker 2: a beautiful week.
