<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good, thanks manya. Getting pretty close to the tasty

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>part of the rugby league season, isn't it. Yeah, well,

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of teams, but you know us obviously

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>not for the Warriors taste anything except for a beautiful,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>beautiful four and twenty pie, which, by the way, if

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you're going down to Shawn Johnson's last game at Shawn

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Johnson Stadium, I'm going to be down there with a

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>bunch of four and twenty traveler pies to dish out

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>really at the front gate, Yeah, the front gate. So

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the legends at four and twenty have given me fifty

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>at the long rectangle pies. Why you love those? I

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>do love those.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So the first fifty people to come down and find

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>me there, we'll get.

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>One of the what do you reckon the chances of

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>them being genuine listeners to the podcast and just being

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>people walking in the gate. Look the chances I reckon

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>one out of the fifty, you'll be a listener. Yeah,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I reckon.

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not going to hang around either because i

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>also need to commentate the game. So the first fifty

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>people that see me are going to get one of

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the pies. I couldn't give a shit with your listeners,

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>podcast or not. But what I'm saying is if you

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>are listening to this podcast right now, you've got the

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>heads up.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>One thing I'm very disappointed about is we're down in

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Wellington tomorrow Friday for this beer festival. Yeah, and so

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>like we could have I could have been calling the

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>game with you from Mount smartst away from Shawn Johnson Stadium,

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>his last ever game. Yeah, the vibe there is going

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 2>to be excellent. It's it's kind of like, out of

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>all the games I could have missed, this is the

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>one I shouldn't have missed. Well, it's not too late

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>for you to have been the I don't know what

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>are you doing in Wellington? Well, it's sad this thing

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>that pays my salary that I have to go down

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>there and do a live show. Pretty much, to be honest,

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>get drunk responsibly. Of course you could be doing that

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>at Shawn Johnson's stated that's to be fair, I could

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>be surrounded by four and twenties and export ultras.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got a few of them four and twenties

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to dish out. Yeah, but yeah, so you won't be there.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I've called in Tony Lyle, who was like, he said,

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it couldn't have happened at a bit of time for

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.119
<v Speaker 1>him because he was scrounging around to try and find

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>tickets sold out. Says like, how how do I get

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>into Sewan Johnson's last game? And then I texted him

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, can you come and commentate

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the game with me?

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>He's like, there is a god. That's incredible. Yeah, I

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>mean the Rugby League God has just smiled on Tony Lyle. Well,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>they smile on the Warriors and I because I've been

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>doing some thinking about this game. I've been doing a

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of thinking. And on the one hand, you've got

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>an incredibly emotional affair. You know, you've got one of

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 2>the greatest ever Warriors' final, last final game, potentially final

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>game ever, because he's been pulling up rough after every game.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Who knows if he's going to play next week against

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the Sharks. Yeah, and then of course we have the

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>buye The Warriors traditionally have not been getting up for

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>must win games. No. We were discussing this on our

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>show yesterday. I believe it was you know, how are

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors going to get up for Sean Johnson's last

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>game when they couldn't even get up against the bottom

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>of the table Eels and to keep this season alive,

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. So it's like we need

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>to learn to really actually step things up a level

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and play like it is Seawan Johnson's last game. Yeah,

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>you're right.

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>We don't often stand up for like milestone games, you know,

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>when someone racks up one fifty games for the club.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Or the last milestone game we got up for was

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Jared Crocus three hundred in Canberra and we really got.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Up for that one a year ago. Oh we did

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>though we smacked them. So maybe we need to figure

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>out who's having a milestone game for the Bulldogs Yeah

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night, and figure out how we're going to smack them.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Because it's just And the other thing too, You've got

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to keep in mind is when I look at the

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>so the positive for the Warriors, and this could come

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>through in our hunch later on big Ford pack. The

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Bulldogs don't have Max King, you know, so their Ford

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>pack consists of all their props are Sam Hughes and

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh Current. Yeah, don't big fowlers at all. No, Sam Hughes.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think most people would have known before this season. Well,

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>absolutely so. And then the guys have got coming off

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the bench, Bailey Hayward, hurt Us More and Harry Hayes

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>and Jamn Salmon. We got a dog absolutely so their

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Ford pack is tiny. So it makes you think adamfanoel Blake,

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>even a Mitch Barnett through the middle mud up to

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>new quarter. These type of guys Jas Devanga should be

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>able to punch through and score tries in the center, however,

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>or at least easy meters. Yeah, exactly. However, when they

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>played who was it that they played with the Broncos

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>who have a big Ford pack pain Hasskrrigan, they did

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>that thing where they just threw it around out to

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the edges and that's how they smoked them. Yeah. And

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 2>also they've recently officially become the top rated defense in

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the NRAL. Yeah, they allow the fewest tries. Yes, game,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 2>So I don't I just don't know. No, I know

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>where the Bulldogs.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying for the last few weeks that they

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are my second team, like once we're out of there

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>finals and maybe this is the passing of the torch

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>over to the Bulldogs.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>But you're right, they have had.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>A rear vein of form at the moment, like they

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>are absolutely flying, but also on defense they're stingy. I

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>think if I was gonna try and silver for our team,

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it's what you said before. It's our forward pack is

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>more or less healthy. Yes, the exception to who Harris

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>would be the only person who, if fit, would make

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that starting run on side. In the forward pack.

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>We've got Wade egganback. Backline's looking as healthy as it's

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>been in a long time.

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Sean Johnson and Luke Metcalfe is who we thought were

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be our half sparing for most of the season.

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got Montoya back on his wing. We've

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>got dw z back on his wing. This team almost looks.

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I love that we've got a full strength team without

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>tour who.

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>This team almost looks. It looks as good as it

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>has looked this season if you had Dylan Walker where

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Dimitric cifer Cola is on the interchange and till who

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Harris said, this is the team we had at the

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 2>start of the season, and we thought we were coming

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>into the season with. Yeah, maybe with an extra little

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>buntier four who's been dropped of recent weeks. But this

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>is like, if we can't beat them, and we did.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>We beat them last time we met at we played

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>in New Zealand too, didn't we It was a close game,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>but we did manage to beat them, and it was

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>using our big boys up the middle. So I don't know, man,

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't pick this game at all. This one.

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>This game actually breaks my heart. A lot of people

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>have been asking me about it. I just I want

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to think that we're going to get up for this

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>but and maybe it's better dog syndrome, but I just

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like I can see it's getting choked out in

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the first twenty minutes and then you know it doesn't

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>really well, No, we'll come to.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Life with ten minutes to go when the game's way

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>out of reach. Yeah against the Heels, Yeah, cut the

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.799
<v Speaker 2>deficit to fourteen. What I don't want is a situation

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm very familiar with with the Warriors, where you just

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like I just don't want to sit there feeling

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 2>bad for Sean because it's his last game at home

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>and this is what we provided, you know what I mean.

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>The fans are going to be massively getting around the

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>scene no matter the result, which is great, so they're

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>going to get in behind. We can be getting pumped

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>eighty to nil and the stadium will still be full

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the game. Yeah, because we want

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 2>to appaud Shawn Johnson and what he's done for the club.

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>But god, I hope the players can step up.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>The atmosphere is going to be sick, you know when

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>he runs out onto the field when they announce him,

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.239
<v Speaker 1>because you know how they go through and they announce

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>each player, that's where I am by player. When they

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>get around to Sewan John's, the place is going to

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>go nuts. I'm a little confused as to what we're

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>expected to do as fans. I saw some people trying

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to say, oh, at the seventh minute, everyone's going to

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>do a standing ovation. Some people are trying to say

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the seventy seventh minute until the end, Wow, do we

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>do a three minute standing ovation, three minute standing ovation,

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>all that there's a penalty, someone challenges it, we lose

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the game, lose the game massively, and the fans are

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>just up on their feet.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm a little confused as to what's

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>expected of me while I'm out there. I think renaming

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the stadium to Sean Johnson Stadium is a good one.

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Are there any like Seawn Johnson's final game merch available? Oh,

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>that'll be the go I guess that's something that you

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>could buy and would actually be a nice thing to

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>have you.

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know because I always and I was saying

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>this on the Monday Show and I even said this.

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to Jiremy Wells earlier this week, Regular Monday,

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>not Mad Monday, I know, the Mad Monday. Oh, the

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Mad Monday Monday Show. I was just saying, like, it

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>just seems like lip servers renaming the stadium, Like you

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>actually haven't renamed the stadium. What's actually changed? Because a

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>sign out the front won't say it. Maybe if you've

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>got printed tickets, but who does that anymore? So?

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>What true? What have they actually? Like a traditional stub

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of a ticket that's saw Johnson Stadium will be pretty cool.

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 2>That would be cool.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I think if you're Sewan Johnson, you've got

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to go and get one of those. But I don't

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>know what's what they've actually done it When they put that,

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just a massive pr move and then.

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, this is awesome. Itah what else

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>can they do though? Yeah, I don't know, a limited

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>run of jerseys. Yeah, like I don't know if he

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 2>could have his face on an NRL jersey, but like,

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, just some like cool retro design T shirt

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>with Sean Johnson.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they've got some plans for the game. You

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 1>know when a player wracks up there three hundredth game

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and they put the extra zero on the two midle

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>line something like that, you know. Yeah, I think I'm

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>sure they've got something up this leave and I'm pretty

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>excited to see it when we do get out there,

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you who'd be pretty disappointed, though, Jess Devunger

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>can't get a stand named after him or well, I.

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Was about to say, I'm excited for Jess Sevanger Stadium

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>as well, but this is our final home game. That

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 2>is such a shame, isn't it. And the guy that

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>we've brought through Aaron Clark.

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yes, that's right, big news but signing news yesterday

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>that we've signed Aaron Clark.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>He comes off the he's and you mentioned it in

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 2>the group chat. He is literally a clone of Jazz

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Tavanga because he comes off the bench. He can play

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>in the front row, but he's also a hooker. Yep.

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>He's the son of Timer Putter Clark Silver Ferns, so

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>you know he's got the pedigree there. But he also

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 2>has a huge attitude and I can see him giving

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>away penal worriedors, but I can also see him punching

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>up great meters and being huge impact off the bench.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, I said in the group chat that

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he won't have the doesn't have quite the game breaking

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>not the jestific I had a massive game breaking ability,

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't quite have that part of it. Where again,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>gee the boys up. But he also doesn't have the

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>brain explosion. He's right in the middle of the Jazz

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Tevanger Bell curve, so he kind of and he's just

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>another one of those players who could play just about anywhere.

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he played for US like five years ago

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and then he went over the Gold Coast, Yeah, where

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>he became. And I've always described Aaron Clark as the

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>final boss of Gold Coast scaffolders. Once you've beaten all

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the other Gold Coast scaffolders, you're then gonna fight Aaron Clark.

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>He's like remember when they made the GC. I remember

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the g I thought of, Yeah.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Was he on it? If he wasn't, maybe that's why

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 2>it stopped. But yeah, I could see him over there

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>chatting up all the aunties. O hard neff, ohight God.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 2>So he'll be back. His mum's just signed to coach

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the Stars and the Ams in Premiership. Hey, how cool

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 2>is that? So they're both gonna be operating out of

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>South Auckland. Yeah, cut down, Billical, call bro, what are

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you doing? I'm his boy? So that's his face. So

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that's how first major signing. And I didn't get super

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>excited about it, but I guess it's cool and it

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>might be one of those situations where he comes here

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and has one of his best ever seasons because we

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 2>might put him in a starting role.

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll be beloved. Well, I mean the way

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that our team has been going this year, you know,

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Walker he's basically another Dylan Walker.

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 2>What's he's got more money? I think? Oh yeah, like

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 2>incoming manner between herm and James Fisher Harris is pretty good. Yes,

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>it was just like ordered a big shipment of it.

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll sell money changes and that's coming over from you.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>And the headquarters of that isn't at the Gold Coast

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 2>for some reason. They've got to ship it over.

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's mighty Martin beck In a half pack next year.

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>We're getting a little bit too a here, Cleary Nathan Jet.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>We're just going to give them the keys, man, dude,

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>that Luke Galvin. Just give him lock Lochland Galvin, Locky Galvin. Yeah,

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>just give him the keys. What's the you know, Blaze

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>to Lungy give him the keys. I don't think Blaze

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to Lungy's got the keys. He doesn't even if he

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 2>does that sickond from the table, hasn't he signed? Yeah?

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I know, but you know what I mean though, these players,

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not Lachland Galvin's fault that the Tiger's the bottom

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 2>of the table. No, the rest of the team's fault,

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>because he has played bloody well he has, so I

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>reckon we just do it because to Mighty Martin, who

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>is the man is? I don't think he's like he's great.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 2>He's not great, He's good. Yeah, he's not what we

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>need if we're going to make do some damage in

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.959
<v Speaker 2>this competition. What have you seen from Jick Cleary to

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 2>indicate that he is aside from his last note, Well,

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 2>that's the only thing I'm saying. I couldn't even put

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 2>him put him out of a lineup. I don't even

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 2>know what he looks like.

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>In fact, if you showed me a framed photo of

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the Clary family, I couldn't point him out.

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well all I know is his name is Cleary

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and his first name is jet yeh Man. Did Nathan

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>miss out there? Nathan? Yeah? And then I've been had

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 2>a bit of fun with the second one. But anyway, Yeah,

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 2>this week's score prediction? How do you think this is

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>going to go tomorrow night? I don't want an exact

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>but like, let me just look at the weather here. Yeah, oh,

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just cloudy, so we won't lose. Wow, Wow, that's

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>not fame. We've lost a lot of games. Yeah, fourteen

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 2>rain though, but with one and twelve and son, so

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not raining, which I think is a good thing.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>I can see. I think the Bulldog is going to

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>win that traveling. They're coming to cold airs Auckland in

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the winter. I've still got everything to

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>play for. They want to be higher and they want

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to reach the top four. I'm just bringing the latter

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 2>up now. They are fifth and they are on thirty

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 2>two points. So yeah, with point stuff that would if

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>they spank us tomorrow, they'll be in the top four. Well,

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the thing. So the top four is very much

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>within reach, and that is something that teams genuinely want

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to aim for, so they have better matchups and the

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>second bite at the chair if you lose. The other

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>thing too is their defense is excellent, best in the competition,

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and we've struggled to generate points. So it's like, what

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>does it put those two together? What do you get?

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I saw on Monday there was like someone

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>did average tries scored, average tries conceded, and so Bulldogs

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>were the lowest and average tries conceded at two point six.

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>We're about middle of the table for tries scored, right,

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>So we're not bad bad, we're not great, and we're

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>not bad, bad, and unfortunately the thing that's happened to

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>us we are quite We're quite down there for like

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>allowing points. Yeah, the Titans game, did you know, skew

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>that stat for us a little bit. But the thing

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that the Bulldogs have found in the last few weeks

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>is scoring tries.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes they have. It's like Sieraldo when okay, we figured

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>out a defense. Now it's start attacking. So I'm going

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to switch his lights off in the coach's box. Yeah,

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 2>we've got the lights are you would die? You're not? Nah?

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Would you do it? Yeah? What do you mean? Yeah?

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Of course you don't think that we'd get kicked out.

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't. They never be able to comtact Mount smartiver again. No,

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I know that the Mount.

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Smart weren't listening to these podcasts, which sorry, man had

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>no idea. I didn't realize that. It was just come

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>in and flicked the lights. Sorry did it happened immediately after

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>they had a stone cold knock on, and then the

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>camera panned round to Cameron Serreldo and he had the

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>lights off, and then I flicked them on so that

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone could see him.

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe or even I'll be stoked with just one little

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>on off. That's it. Yeah, just like a recognition that

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 2>we have the power here. Yeah, and if we wanted to,

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 2>we could bring you to your knees. So I'm going

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>to go thirty points Bulldogs to like ten to Warriors,

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 2>oh ten. But I'm doing this in a way where

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I want to watch this game and be fucking surprised

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>when the Warriors get up massively. For Sean Johnson, you

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>want to be wrong? Yeah, absolutely, because I've been picking

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors to win and every time they lose. Every time,

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I whay, Yeah, So that's what my gut says.

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I do think that the one thing that the Warriors

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>have struggled with this year is when they get down,

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't seem like this something was someone to turn

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>them around behind the posts.

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Because the first teen to fifteen we're fine, we're sick.

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Then that last sort of fifteen minutes of the first

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>half we fade off and it's like, who's going to

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 1>stand up and get everyone on the same page and

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>humming again. If it has to be Shawn Johnson's last

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>game at home, I don't know. I think it could be.

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I think this could be closer the line at the

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>tearb's about five and a half, right, so I don't

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>mind that.

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, the actual war is paying just to win two

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>dollars fifty five.

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>But the problem with that is they would have started

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>at at about five dollars and just been smashed in

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>by everyone on the Shawn Johnson Buzz this week, So

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know plus two a right, Yeah, I'll lock

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that in as well. All right, let's take a quick

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>break and we'll come back and we'll talk about super Couch.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 2>We welcome back into the podcast staff.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You can't to join the a SEC team for a

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>massive rugby league weekend in March of twenty twenty five.

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>It get takes Vegas to three two three six to

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>book your spots, super coach Chris. I think for most

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>people they've pivoted two overall stats. Now you certainly have

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to hit to hit. Yeah, it's so tough

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>this end of the season because trades are dwindling. A

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of people's hit to head matchups over well, and

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the players are going to get roosted in the next

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>few weeks.

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you if you've got Jerome Hughes, Harry Grant,

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Munster like guys like that or even Brian to or

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 2>guys in those top teams. Now that Melbourne have officially

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 2>if they win this weekend, I think they might have

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 2>sewn up the warnership. Oh yeah, because they beat the Panthers. Yes,

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>they're on forty. Oh yes, if they win this week

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>they can pretty corn up. Yeah. And so I think

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I've only got Harry Grant as my starting hooker and

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Jayden Brady. So I think next week, when if you

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 2>do make it to the finals of your head to

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Hear league, it's going to be super tricky. And also

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the Tigers are on the by So if you've got

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 2>like Lochland Galvin for example, yeah, well fine, new you know,

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>like these guys that everyone's got, Yeah, it could be

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>trouble there. But I just have to make a note

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 2>for next year and just say, Chris, come into the

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 2>last part of the season with ten trades up your sleeve,

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 2>because every year I blow my load early. I blow

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it early and I early. You heard that.

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've been alright for trades. I just got done

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and they had to head in the last couple of weeks.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Despite having lead a Fantasy league for most of the year,

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I guess the biggest issue this week for super coaches

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>is what do you do with Nathan Cleary?

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing?

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got Matt Burton sitting in there right now in

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the halves because he's both the halves. Yeah, he is

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>half back and five eighth. How many trades you got?

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel great about it. I have two trades left.

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>That was the one that I've made so far this

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>this week.

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you've gone Matt Burton in? Yeah, why I

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>don't feel great about it? I'm not. Yeah, I don't

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>think that's wrong. Worry is it? Go media? For Shawn

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Johns's last game. There's every chance he could have a shitter.

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Every chance he could absolutely kill See. Because I'm just

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at the most traded in stats, they send out

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>an email, NURL super coach, Do I think the most

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 2>traded in person is daily Cherry Evans at eighteen point

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 2>eight percent. Seagulls have the Tigers. So they have the

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Tigers tonight tonight, which obviously the bottom team on the table,

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>so could absolutely light them up. However, I am going

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Sam Walker. Yeah. Now, partly this is because if I

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 2>do beat Dihinwood and now hit to head league. This week,

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I moved to face Isaac from Hodaki, who's got a

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 2>stacked team and he's got Sam Walker, and I've just decided,

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>don't try and pot against I just just get Sam

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Walker in because the Roosters, this is what we were

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell you about Ags Crichton last week. The

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Roosters play the Titans, and then they play the Raiders,

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>and then they play the Rabbit. O's that is such

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>an easy run. He is goalkicking for them. They could

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>even if they run up ten tries and he doesn't

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>get a single triassist. Ye, he's still got to kick

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>ten goals. So on My thing with him is I

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>just think goalkicking half go for it. Other people are

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.959
<v Speaker 2>going for daily Cherry Evans as mentioned, because they are

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.679
<v Speaker 2>playing the Tags. He doesn't goalkick. A lot of the

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 2>tries come through Tom Turbo, you know, and Garret's the goalkicker.

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 2>So I just you can flip a coin for them.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>But I think Sam Walker has the highest chance to

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>go like one pin fifty on any given day.

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do too, But he also has the highest

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>chance to go like thirty four one hundred percent. It's

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>wild because I'll have these games where they score a

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of points and he The other thing is I've

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>avoided I've resisted Sam Walker for so long.

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't bring him in. That's laid in the piece.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 2>You know. I should have brought him in mid season.

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Everyone should have fleir he brought it went down. Half

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the people dead and the other half didn't. I didn't

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the first time. Everyone should have done it. Yeah, so geez,

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 2>do you bring Sean John's in it? But they've got

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 2>the buy in round twenty seven and he probably won't

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 2>play next week if they would, that is I mean, look, sure,

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that's a huge I love the Warriors play, and I

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>want to dedicate this to Sewan Johnson play. Hey, I'd

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>do it if I was you, because I'm out of

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the running. I know, I know he's good his own podcast.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 2>He's probably not listen to this one. But if he

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 2>does this aunds for you, then this one's for you. Sean,

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 2>do it for monochasmo. I'm ringing, I'm ringing you in.

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>The other one is if you had a bunch of

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>trades up your sleeve, the power move would be to

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>go Ponger to Turbo on the like, if you have

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to win a head to hit match up.

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 2>What's what's Turbo against the Tigers going to do? That's

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 2>better than Ponger against the rabbit O's. I think Turbo

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 2>could go like massive. The rabbit O's are shite house.

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 2>I think you need as many Knights as possible in

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>your team. I don't think the Rabbits are as shit

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>as the as the Tigers. They're both very shit, I'm

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>very very much. I think the difference is that Manly

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 2>a genuine top four chants, whereas the Knights are struggling

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 2>to make the eight. So their attacks better, you know,

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>so they're gonna have more opportunities to click maybe, but yeah,

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 2>look it's just a massive luxury trade by the way,

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge yeah. Yeah. So mine's just Sam Walker and

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 2>for Nathan Cleary, who are your wingers.

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>By the way, me, I have still a bunch of

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the dom Young Garrick is in there for me. Name

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.119
<v Speaker 1>yeap Val Holmes who's on the by this week, which

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>means one of my either Sam stone Street or Burbo

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to get a run there. I do have

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>another trade though, so I think one of those guys

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to go to I don't know who have you.

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Got, So I've got Garrick and Dong Yum. But I

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.160
<v Speaker 2>went full night, so I've got Marju and gag Guy.

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I just got rid of Marjo. Yeah, Marju scored seventy

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>four and gag Guy scored ninety six last week, so

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>that they both and Ponger they all combined to get

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>me up through by Simmi quarter final into the Semis.

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, but I didn't realize I've still got Jamaina Suckle,

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 2>who I really want to get rid of it. I'm

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>out of trades now, too late, I think. Yeah, I

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>brought Isaac Tungal in because when Cleary's back, his scores

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>go through the roof, and when Cleary went down, I

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't think about it that Tungle is going to be

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.119
<v Speaker 2>shit now as well. Yeah, so he's pretty much not

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 2>going to play for the rest of the season. For me,

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you're stuck with him. So then what do

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.120
<v Speaker 2>you do then? If you had a trade, who would

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you go? If I had a trade, I think I'd

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:02.359
<v Speaker 2>go Lomax. Just because the Dragons are fighting for the

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 2>top eight. They can't afford to rest anyone, and I

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 2>believe their run is quite good as well. Just having

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a look here. They have got to the Sharks this week,

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 2>so I might not be that great, but then the

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Eels and then the Raiders, so and he's goal kicking

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 2>for them. So if I could bring someone into be

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Zach Lomax, you've convinced me. I'm bringing them in.

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, So I've now got Sean Johnson and Jerome

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Hughes and my haves, which means when Jerome Hughes gets rested,

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't have no halves.

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>But did you already have He's just a matter of faith. Yeah, yeah,

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>far that's huge, Yeah, that is huge. Huge.

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you had to, if you had to fire

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.119
<v Speaker 1>a shot this week, because you who would be your

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>big pick up? If it's like do or die, your

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.880
<v Speaker 1>team's on the line, you need to try and beat

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>a player, Well, I goes, I'd look at their team first.

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Zachlomax is the one I just mentioned, but I also

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>just a pod winger on a gun team. Like you know,

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Brian is not very well high owned this, you know,

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 1>like not many people are on him.

0:22:56.760 --> 0:23:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Who else is hot? Kyle felt, They've got the I

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>got to buy this way, but he's stills like right

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>up there in terms of the top try scorer in

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the comp you know, or if I really wanted to

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 2>fire a shot and I hate this dude, I hate

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.679
<v Speaker 2>him Jason Sab eighty eight points last week because he

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 2>could score twelve yeah, and be a pathetic tackler and

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 2>run per week every time he gets the ball. However,

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 2>he could score four tries against the Tigers tonight and

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 2>you could have Garrick, you could have Turbo, you could

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 2>have the Saab nine thousand, and you could be watching

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 2>them put on an absolute score. So if he's probably

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 2>a poet as well, and he swallows uploads, he does

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 2>actually the old Sab.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>How many other Wiggans can say that? All right, good

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.120
<v Speaker 1>luck to all of you who are captains. Oh yes, captains.

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I think for me, I am going to having said

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 1>all of that about dropping Ponger in that I think

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 1>who's your fullbacks?

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Pongo and to Disco. So you're not going to go

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>teddy against the Titans at four pm in the afternoon.

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh when is it Saturday? Sunday? So you can captain

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 2>him and vice captain. You can't vice captain Ponger though,

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>because the bad That's okay? I want to fuck the

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:07.919
<v Speaker 2>loop up anyway. And Vice Captain Seawan Johnson. Oh wow, really, ONJ,

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what you should do is captain him the

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>ultimate shove loyalty. How you are Captain Seawn Johnson, you

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 2>won't do that. I've done it now, come on, and

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I's been stupid now man, No, I'm all for having fun,

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 2>but that's just stupid. I'm captaining is J. You're all

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>going to see it on Monday. Yeah, what about you?

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Who are you going to captain? Well, I'm going to

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.479
<v Speaker 2>play it safe. I don't love s J as much

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>as you do, but I'm just going to go to

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>disco against the Titans. Die has got to disco against

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 2>the Titans as his captain, and you're facing him. I'm

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>facing him. So I thought maybe I could flip it

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 2>round and go pom A v. The Rabbits, because that

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>way it's like head to head, whichever fallback scores the best. Yeah,

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>but I've decided actually no, let's just cancel ch each

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:48.920
<v Speaker 2>other out. Yeah, win it somewhere else, that's right, which

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 2>means you're in for like a twenty point win or loss.

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>That's right. It'll be heartbreaking and then they'll be like

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a You'll be winning and then there'll be a count

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 2>back and then you'll lose, which has happened to be

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times to me a couple of weeks ago.

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest, Vice Captain, I'm just gonna whack

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>it on Garrick tonight, Yeah, because if they score a

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 2>shitload of tries, he should get a few points so

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 2>and if not, then you lose nothing exactly.

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's take one more quick break and when we come back,

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>we're going to put a hunch down on the tab.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>It should come as no surprise to you, CAZy that

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the TB are wrapped all around Shawn Johnson tomorrow night

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, well it makes sense, doesn't it. And

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, it's genius because people are gonna it's

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>like their last chance to bet on Sean Johnson, that's right.

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>And this year the TB has made a lot of

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 2>money off Seann Johnson, a lot of my money lost

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of it last year, to be fair. So

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 2>underneath the power plays whin normal power plays are there

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>is now a segment that just is Sewan Johnson power plays.

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And so I'll run you through them.

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>You tell me when you want to stop, and we'll

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 1>use that as our hunch for this week.

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, there is two. I think I think we

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 2>need to start it around the We're gonna start the

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>betting in around three dollars fifty.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Here, three dollars fifty. Seawan Johnson one hundred plus running meters.

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't see that happening. I don't think he's running

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>for one hundred meters. No, he hasn't done that in ages.

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Johnson to force two plus dropouts. I liked this one. Yes,

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:13.959
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't forced a lot this season. I think there

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 1>was one last last week.

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>And also but like, when we get down to that

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 2>pressure area, the most we can do is just kick

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:21.679
<v Speaker 2>and keck it. Yeah, although not a lot of our

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 2>kecks have been ones where we're then chasing through and

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>forcing a dropout. It's usually ones at like ten meters

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 2>out from the line and not really kind of contestable.

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But the Yeah, the next one excites me. Sean Johnson

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to make one plus line breaks, so he just needs

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to break the line once. Now this is coming from

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 1>a if we win, how do we want to win?

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Would there be anything more exciting than Shawn Johnson bursting

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 2>into the backfield and us putting three hundred and fifty

0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>dollars into the acc Keddy because of it just one

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>line break, one line break. It just needs to poke

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 2>his nose through. I mean I like that.

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Another couple options Shawn Johnson to score more tries than

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Toby six, then I forgot Toby six and starting for them.

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't think I like the fairy tale

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>of Sewan Johnson scoring a try at Mount SMTT. One

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>thing I've noticed about Sean Johnson he loves a hero play,

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>so he will have in his head. I would love

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to score a try at Mount smet one last time.

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 2>He is going to be trying to do that. What

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 2>about okay?

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah absolutely is all thirteen players on our side of

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the field and probably half a dozen on the other,

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 1>we'll be looking for that as well. Yeah, what about

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Johnson first or last try scorer? Because picture it's been

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 1>seventy minutes and Shawn Johnson hasn't scored. That're doing everything

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>they can for him to score, right, I think if

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if he scores, it's the last.

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Seawan Johnson just to score the last match try as

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 2>fifteen dollars and you can see like the game's over.

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>We've lost, like this Heaven for bed right, Well, we're losing. Yeah,

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the game's over. We switch it on to the last

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 2>team like we always do. We've run in a few

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>tries and then they wait there for Sean to come

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 2>over throw on the ball and he scores it. Do

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you't thon that would happen? I can see it. Let's

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>get on it, I reckon, that's so risky. Yeah, that's

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 2>why they're paying fifteen dollars. You don't think we should

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 2>do something about our big forward smashing through their little

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 2>blokes any other week of the year. Yeah, Shawn Johnson's

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 2>last game. Yeah, okay, And you're never gonna have Sean

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Johnson power plays available over again, are you? No?

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So I think for ten dollars to give us the

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 1>second bite of the cherry, Shawn Johnson first or last,

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So then we got two chances to win that. Yeah,

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're only giving away five dollars an odds we

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>put one hundred dollars on. That's around one thousand dollars,

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and that means we've paid out.

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, back in all thoughts, Yeah, okay, I've just seen

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Sewan Johnson to score a try between the post eleven dollars.

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>That's so specific in the post. I'd want more than

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>eleven if I can get first or last. All right,

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go first or last. That is our hunch

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 1>for this week. Follow along responsibly and placing that bit

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.080
