Speaker 1: Oh there, and welcome back to the Me at Monday podcast,
Speaker 1: brought to you as always by four and twenty piles,
Speaker 1: a perfect at home snack for watching rugby league.
Speaker 2: My name is Tino saw A.
Speaker 1: MONDAYOWI and I am joined in the Export Beer Garden
Speaker 1: studio by Chris Key Afterton Kezy here geting on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, thanks manya. Getting pretty close to the tasty
Speaker 2: part of the rugby league season, isn't it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: for a lot of teams, but you know us obviously
Speaker 2: not for the Warriors taste anything except for a beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful four and twenty pie, which, by the way, if
Speaker 2: you're going down to Shawn Johnson's last game at Shawn
Speaker 2: Johnson Stadium, I'm going to be down there with a
Speaker 2: bunch of four and twenty traveler pies to dish out
Speaker 2: really at the front gate, Yeah, the front gate. So
Speaker 2: the legends at four and twenty have given me fifty
Speaker 2: at the long rectangle pies. Why you love those? I
Speaker 2: do love those.
Speaker 1: So the first fifty people to come down and find
Speaker 1: me there, we'll get.
Speaker 2: One of the what do you reckon the chances of
Speaker 2: them being genuine listeners to the podcast and just being
Speaker 2: people walking in the gate. Look the chances I reckon
Speaker 2: one out of the fifty, you'll be a listener. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I reckon.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to hang around either because i
Speaker 1: also need to commentate the game. So the first fifty
Speaker 1: people that see me are going to get one of
Speaker 1: the pies. I couldn't give a shit with your listeners,
Speaker 1: podcast or not. But what I'm saying is if you
Speaker 1: are listening to this podcast right now, you've got the
Speaker 1: heads up.
Speaker 2: One thing I'm very disappointed about is we're down in
Speaker 2: Wellington tomorrow Friday for this beer festival. Yeah, and so
Speaker 2: like we could have I could have been calling the
Speaker 2: game with you from Mount smartst away from Shawn Johnson Stadium,
Speaker 2: his last ever game. Yeah, the vibe there is going
Speaker 2: to be excellent. It's it's kind of like, out of
Speaker 2: all the games I could have missed, this is the
Speaker 2: one I shouldn't have missed. Well, it's not too late
Speaker 2: for you to have been the I don't know what
Speaker 2: are you doing in Wellington? Well, it's sad this thing
Speaker 2: that pays my salary that I have to go down
Speaker 2: there and do a live show. Pretty much, to be honest,
Speaker 2: get drunk responsibly. Of course you could be doing that
Speaker 2: at Shawn Johnson's stated that's to be fair, I could
Speaker 2: be surrounded by four and twenties and export ultras.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a few of them four and twenties
Speaker 1: to dish out. Yeah, but yeah, so you won't be there.
Speaker 1: I've called in Tony Lyle, who was like, he said,
Speaker 1: it couldn't have happened at a bit of time for
Speaker 1: him because he was scrounging around to try and find
Speaker 1: tickets sold out. Says like, how how do I get
Speaker 1: into Sewan Johnson's last game? And then I texted him
Speaker 1: and I was just like, can you come and commentate
Speaker 1: the game with me?
Speaker 2: He's like, there is a god. That's incredible. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean the Rugby League God has just smiled on Tony Lyle. Well,
Speaker 2: they smile on the Warriors and I because I've been
Speaker 2: doing some thinking about this game. I've been doing a
Speaker 2: lot of thinking. And on the one hand, you've got
Speaker 2: an incredibly emotional affair. You know, you've got one of
Speaker 2: the greatest ever Warriors' final, last final game, potentially final
Speaker 2: game ever, because he's been pulling up rough after every game.
Speaker 2: Who knows if he's going to play next week against
Speaker 2: the Sharks. Yeah, and then of course we have the
Speaker 2: buye The Warriors traditionally have not been getting up for
Speaker 2: must win games. No. We were discussing this on our
Speaker 2: show yesterday. I believe it was you know, how are
Speaker 2: the Warriors going to get up for Sean Johnson's last
Speaker 2: game when they couldn't even get up against the bottom
Speaker 2: of the table Eels and to keep this season alive,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So it's like we need
Speaker 2: to learn to really actually step things up a level
Speaker 2: and play like it is Seawan Johnson's last game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 1: We don't often stand up for like milestone games, you know,
Speaker 1: when someone racks up one fifty games for the club.
Speaker 2: Or the last milestone game we got up for was
Speaker 2: Jared Crocus three hundred in Canberra and we really got.
Speaker 1: Up for that one a year ago. Oh we did
Speaker 1: though we smacked them. So maybe we need to figure
Speaker 1: out who's having a milestone game for the Bulldogs Yeah
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, and figure out how we're going to smack them.
Speaker 2: Because it's just And the other thing too, You've got
Speaker 2: to keep in mind is when I look at the
Speaker 2: so the positive for the Warriors, and this could come
Speaker 2: through in our hunch later on big Ford pack. The
Speaker 2: Bulldogs don't have Max King, you know, so their Ford
Speaker 2: pack consists of all their props are Sam Hughes and
Speaker 2: Josh Current. Yeah, don't big fowlers at all. No, Sam Hughes.
Speaker 2: I don't think most people would have known before this season. Well,
Speaker 2: absolutely so. And then the guys have got coming off
Speaker 2: the bench, Bailey Hayward, hurt Us More and Harry Hayes
Speaker 2: and Jamn Salmon. We got a dog absolutely so their
Speaker 2: Ford pack is tiny. So it makes you think adamfanoel Blake,
Speaker 2: even a Mitch Barnett through the middle mud up to
Speaker 2: new quarter. These type of guys Jas Devanga should be
Speaker 2: able to punch through and score tries in the center, however,
Speaker 2: or at least easy meters. Yeah, exactly. However, when they
Speaker 2: played who was it that they played with the Broncos
Speaker 2: who have a big Ford pack pain Hasskrrigan, they did
Speaker 2: that thing where they just threw it around out to
Speaker 2: the edges and that's how they smoked them. Yeah. And
Speaker 2: also they've recently officially become the top rated defense in
Speaker 2: the NRAL. Yeah, they allow the fewest tries. Yes, game,
Speaker 2: So I don't I just don't know. No, I know
Speaker 2: where the Bulldogs.
Speaker 1: I've been saying for the last few weeks that they
Speaker 1: are my second team, like once we're out of there
Speaker 1: finals and maybe this is the passing of the torch
Speaker 1: over to the Bulldogs.
Speaker 2: But you're right, they have had.
Speaker 1: A rear vein of form at the moment, like they
Speaker 1: are absolutely flying, but also on defense they're stingy. I
Speaker 1: think if I was gonna try and silver for our team,
Speaker 1: it's what you said before. It's our forward pack is
Speaker 1: more or less healthy. Yes, the exception to who Harris
Speaker 1: would be the only person who, if fit, would make
Speaker 1: that starting run on side. In the forward pack.
Speaker 2: We've got Wade egganback. Backline's looking as healthy as it's
Speaker 2: been in a long time.
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson and Luke Metcalfe is who we thought were
Speaker 1: going to be our half sparing for most of the season.
Speaker 1: You know, we got Montoya back on his wing. We've
Speaker 1: got dw z back on his wing. This team almost looks.
Speaker 1: I love that we've got a full strength team without
Speaker 1: tour who.
Speaker 2: This team almost looks. It looks as good as it
Speaker 2: has looked this season if you had Dylan Walker where
Speaker 2: Dimitric cifer Cola is on the interchange and till who
Speaker 2: Harris said, this is the team we had at the
Speaker 2: start of the season, and we thought we were coming
Speaker 2: into the season with. Yeah, maybe with an extra little
Speaker 2: buntier four who's been dropped of recent weeks. But this
Speaker 2: is like, if we can't beat them, and we did.
Speaker 2: We beat them last time we met at we played
Speaker 2: in New Zealand too, didn't we It was a close game,
Speaker 2: but we did manage to beat them, and it was
Speaker 2: using our big boys up the middle. So I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: I can't pick this game at all. This one.
Speaker 1: This game actually breaks my heart. A lot of people
Speaker 1: have been asking me about it. I just I want
Speaker 1: to think that we're going to get up for this
Speaker 1: but and maybe it's better dog syndrome, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like I can see it's getting choked out in
Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes and then you know it doesn't
Speaker 1: really well, No, we'll come to.
Speaker 2: Life with ten minutes to go when the game's way
Speaker 2: out of reach. Yeah against the Heels, Yeah, cut the
Speaker 2: deficit to fourteen. What I don't want is a situation
Speaker 2: I'm very familiar with with the Warriors, where you just
Speaker 2: feel like I just don't want to sit there feeling
Speaker 2: bad for Sean because it's his last game at home
Speaker 2: and this is what we provided, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: The fans are going to be massively getting around the
Speaker 2: scene no matter the result, which is great, so they're
Speaker 2: going to get in behind. We can be getting pumped
Speaker 2: eighty to nil and the stadium will still be full
Speaker 2: at the end of the game. Yeah, because we want
Speaker 2: to appaud Shawn Johnson and what he's done for the club.
Speaker 2: But god, I hope the players can step up.
Speaker 1: The atmosphere is going to be sick, you know when
Speaker 1: he runs out onto the field when they announce him,
Speaker 1: because you know how they go through and they announce
Speaker 1: each player, that's where I am by player. When they
Speaker 1: get around to Sewan John's, the place is going to
Speaker 1: go nuts. I'm a little confused as to what we're
Speaker 1: expected to do as fans. I saw some people trying
Speaker 1: to say, oh, at the seventh minute, everyone's going to
Speaker 1: do a standing ovation. Some people are trying to say
Speaker 1: the seventy seventh minute until the end, Wow, do we
Speaker 1: do a three minute standing ovation, three minute standing ovation,
Speaker 1: all that there's a penalty, someone challenges it, we lose
Speaker 1: the game, lose the game massively, and the fans are
Speaker 1: just up on their feet.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm a little confused as to what's
Speaker 2: expected of me while I'm out there. I think renaming
Speaker 2: the stadium to Sean Johnson Stadium is a good one.
Speaker 2: Are there any like Seawn Johnson's final game merch available? Oh,
Speaker 2: that'll be the go I guess that's something that you
Speaker 2: could buy and would actually be a nice thing to
Speaker 2: have you.
Speaker 1: Well, I know because I always and I was saying
Speaker 1: this on the Monday Show and I even said this.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Jiremy Wells earlier this week, Regular Monday,
Speaker 1: not Mad Monday, I know, the Mad Monday. Oh, the
Speaker 1: Mad Monday Monday Show. I was just saying, like, it
Speaker 1: just seems like lip servers renaming the stadium, Like you
Speaker 1: actually haven't renamed the stadium. What's actually changed? Because a
Speaker 1: sign out the front won't say it. Maybe if you've
Speaker 1: got printed tickets, but who does that anymore? So?
Speaker 2: What true? What have they actually? Like a traditional stub
Speaker 2: of a ticket that's saw Johnson Stadium will be pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That would be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think if you're Sewan Johnson, you've got
Speaker 1: to go and get one of those. But I don't
Speaker 1: know what's what they've actually done it When they put that,
Speaker 1: it's just a massive pr move and then.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is awesome. Itah what else
Speaker 2: can they do though? Yeah, I don't know, a limited
Speaker 2: run of jerseys. Yeah, like I don't know if he
Speaker 2: could have his face on an NRL jersey, but like,
Speaker 2: you know, just some like cool retro design T shirt
Speaker 2: with Sean Johnson.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've got some plans for the game. You
Speaker 1: know when a player wracks up there three hundredth game
Speaker 1: and they put the extra zero on the two midle
Speaker 1: line something like that, you know. Yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: sure they've got something up this leave and I'm pretty
Speaker 1: excited to see it when we do get out there,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who'd be pretty disappointed, though, Jess Devunger
Speaker 1: can't get a stand named after him or well, I.
Speaker 2: Was about to say, I'm excited for Jess Sevanger Stadium
Speaker 2: as well, but this is our final home game. That
Speaker 2: is such a shame, isn't it. And the guy that
Speaker 2: we've brought through Aaron Clark.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, that's right, big news but signing news yesterday
Speaker 1: that we've signed Aaron Clark.
Speaker 2: He comes off the he's and you mentioned it in
Speaker 2: the group chat. He is literally a clone of Jazz
Speaker 2: Tavanga because he comes off the bench. He can play
Speaker 2: in the front row, but he's also a hooker. Yep.
Speaker 2: He's the son of Timer Putter Clark Silver Ferns, so
Speaker 2: you know he's got the pedigree there. But he also
Speaker 2: has a huge attitude and I can see him giving
Speaker 2: away penal worriedors, but I can also see him punching
Speaker 2: up great meters and being huge impact off the bench.
Speaker 1: I was saying, I said in the group chat that
Speaker 1: he won't have the doesn't have quite the game breaking
Speaker 1: not the jestific I had a massive game breaking ability,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't quite have that part of it. Where again,
Speaker 1: gee the boys up. But he also doesn't have the
Speaker 1: brain explosion. He's right in the middle of the Jazz
Speaker 1: Tevanger Bell curve, so he kind of and he's just
Speaker 1: another one of those players who could play just about anywhere.
Speaker 1: I think he played for US like five years ago
Speaker 1: and then he went over the Gold Coast, Yeah, where
Speaker 1: he became. And I've always described Aaron Clark as the
Speaker 1: final boss of Gold Coast scaffolders. Once you've beaten all
Speaker 1: the other Gold Coast scaffolders, you're then gonna fight Aaron Clark.
Speaker 1: He's like remember when they made the GC. I remember
Speaker 1: the g I thought of, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Was he on it? If he wasn't, maybe that's why
Speaker 2: it stopped. But yeah, I could see him over there
Speaker 2: chatting up all the aunties. O hard neff, ohight God.
Speaker 2: So he'll be back. His mum's just signed to coach
Speaker 2: the Stars and the Ams in Premiership. Hey, how cool
Speaker 2: is that? So they're both gonna be operating out of
Speaker 2: South Auckland. Yeah, cut down, Billical, call bro, what are
Speaker 2: you doing? I'm his boy? So that's his face. So
Speaker 2: that's how first major signing. And I didn't get super
Speaker 2: excited about it, but I guess it's cool and it
Speaker 2: might be one of those situations where he comes here
Speaker 2: and has one of his best ever seasons because we
Speaker 2: might put him in a starting role.
Speaker 1: I think he'll be beloved. Well, I mean the way
Speaker 1: that our team has been going this year, you know,
Speaker 1: Dylan Walker he's basically another Dylan Walker.
Speaker 2: What's he's got more money? I think? Oh yeah, like
Speaker 2: incoming manner between herm and James Fisher Harris is pretty good. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was just like ordered a big shipment of it.
Speaker 2: I'll sell money changes and that's coming over from you.
Speaker 2: And the headquarters of that isn't at the Gold Coast
Speaker 2: for some reason. They've got to ship it over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's mighty Martin beck In a half pack next year.
Speaker 2: We're getting a little bit too a here, Cleary Nathan Jet.
Speaker 2: We're just going to give them the keys, man, dude,
Speaker 2: that Luke Galvin. Just give him lock Lochland Galvin, Locky Galvin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just give him the keys. What's the you know, Blaze
Speaker 2: to Lungy give him the keys. I don't think Blaze
Speaker 2: to Lungy's got the keys. He doesn't even if he
Speaker 2: does that sickond from the table, hasn't he signed? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know, but you know what I mean though, these players,
Speaker 2: it's not Lachland Galvin's fault that the Tiger's the bottom
Speaker 2: of the table. No, the rest of the team's fault,
Speaker 2: because he has played bloody well he has, so I
Speaker 2: reckon we just do it because to Mighty Martin, who
Speaker 2: is the man is? I don't think he's like he's great.
Speaker 2: He's not great, He's good. Yeah, he's not what we
Speaker 2: need if we're going to make do some damage in
Speaker 2: this competition. What have you seen from Jick Cleary to
Speaker 2: indicate that he is aside from his last note, Well,
Speaker 2: that's the only thing I'm saying. I couldn't even put
Speaker 2: him put him out of a lineup. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what he looks like.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you showed me a framed photo of
Speaker 1: the Clary family, I couldn't point him out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well all I know is his name is Cleary
Speaker 2: and his first name is jet yeh Man. Did Nathan
Speaker 2: miss out there? Nathan? Yeah? And then I've been had
Speaker 2: a bit of fun with the second one. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this week's score prediction? How do you think this is
Speaker 2: going to go tomorrow night? I don't want an exact
Speaker 2: but like, let me just look at the weather here. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 2: it's just cloudy, so we won't lose. Wow, Wow, that's
Speaker 2: not fame. We've lost a lot of games. Yeah, fourteen
Speaker 2: rain though, but with one and twelve and son, so
Speaker 2: it's not raining, which I think is a good thing.
Speaker 2: I can see. I think the Bulldog is going to
Speaker 2: win that traveling. They're coming to cold airs Auckland in
Speaker 2: the middle of the winter. I've still got everything to
Speaker 2: play for. They want to be higher and they want
Speaker 2: to reach the top four. I'm just bringing the latter
Speaker 2: up now. They are fifth and they are on thirty
Speaker 2: two points. So yeah, with point stuff that would if
Speaker 2: they spank us tomorrow, they'll be in the top four. Well,
Speaker 2: that's the thing. So the top four is very much
Speaker 2: within reach, and that is something that teams genuinely want
Speaker 2: to aim for, so they have better matchups and the
Speaker 2: second bite at the chair if you lose. The other
Speaker 2: thing too is their defense is excellent, best in the competition,
Speaker 2: and we've struggled to generate points. So it's like, what
Speaker 2: does it put those two together? What do you get?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I saw on Monday there was like someone
Speaker 1: did average tries scored, average tries conceded, and so Bulldogs
Speaker 1: were the lowest and average tries conceded at two point six.
Speaker 1: We're about middle of the table for tries scored, right,
Speaker 1: So we're not bad bad, we're not great, and we're
Speaker 1: not bad, bad, and unfortunately the thing that's happened to
Speaker 1: us we are quite We're quite down there for like
Speaker 1: allowing points. Yeah, the Titans game, did you know, skew
Speaker 1: that stat for us a little bit. But the thing
Speaker 1: that the Bulldogs have found in the last few weeks
Speaker 1: is scoring tries.
Speaker 2: Yes they have. It's like Sieraldo when okay, we figured
Speaker 2: out a defense. Now it's start attacking. So I'm going
Speaker 2: to switch his lights off in the coach's box. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've got the lights are you would die? You're not? Nah?
Speaker 2: Would you do it? Yeah? What do you mean? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Of course you don't think that we'd get kicked out.
Speaker 2: I don't. They never be able to comtact Mount smartiver again. No,
Speaker 2: I know that the Mount.
Speaker 1: Smart weren't listening to these podcasts, which sorry, man had
Speaker 1: no idea. I didn't realize that. It was just come
Speaker 1: in and flicked the lights. Sorry did it happened immediately after
Speaker 1: they had a stone cold knock on, and then the
Speaker 1: camera panned round to Cameron Serreldo and he had the
Speaker 1: lights off, and then I flicked them on so that
Speaker 1: everyone could see him.
Speaker 2: Maybe or even I'll be stoked with just one little
Speaker 2: on off. That's it. Yeah, just like a recognition that
Speaker 2: we have the power here. Yeah, and if we wanted to,
Speaker 2: we could bring you to your knees. So I'm going
Speaker 2: to go thirty points Bulldogs to like ten to Warriors,
Speaker 2: oh ten. But I'm doing this in a way where
Speaker 2: I want to watch this game and be fucking surprised
Speaker 2: when the Warriors get up massively. For Sean Johnson, you
Speaker 2: want to be wrong? Yeah, absolutely, because I've been picking
Speaker 2: the Warriors to win and every time they lose. Every time,
Speaker 2: I whay, Yeah, So that's what my gut says.
Speaker 1: I do think that the one thing that the Warriors
Speaker 1: have struggled with this year is when they get down,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like this something was someone to turn
Speaker 1: them around behind the posts.
Speaker 2: Because the first teen to fifteen we're fine, we're sick.
Speaker 1: Then that last sort of fifteen minutes of the first
Speaker 1: half we fade off and it's like, who's going to
Speaker 1: stand up and get everyone on the same page and
Speaker 1: humming again. If it has to be Shawn Johnson's last
Speaker 1: game at home, I don't know. I think it could be.
Speaker 1: I think this could be closer the line at the
Speaker 1: tearb's about five and a half, right, so I don't
Speaker 1: mind that.
Speaker 2: Well, the actual war is paying just to win two
Speaker 2: dollars fifty five.
Speaker 1: But the problem with that is they would have started
Speaker 1: at at about five dollars and just been smashed in
Speaker 1: by everyone on the Shawn Johnson Buzz this week, So
Speaker 1: I don't know plus two a right, Yeah, I'll lock
Speaker 1: that in as well. All right, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back and we'll talk about super Couch.
Speaker 2: We welcome back into the podcast staff.
Speaker 1: You can't to join the a SEC team for a
Speaker 1: massive rugby league weekend in March of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: It get takes Vegas to three two three six to
Speaker 1: book your spots, super coach Chris. I think for most
Speaker 1: people they've pivoted two overall stats. Now you certainly have
Speaker 1: as opposed to hit to hit. Yeah, it's so tough
Speaker 1: this end of the season because trades are dwindling. A
Speaker 1: lot of people's hit to head matchups over well, and
Speaker 1: the players are going to get roosted in the next
Speaker 1: few weeks.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you if you've got Jerome Hughes, Harry Grant,
Speaker 2: Munster like guys like that or even Brian to or
Speaker 2: guys in those top teams. Now that Melbourne have officially
Speaker 2: if they win this weekend, I think they might have
Speaker 2: sewn up the warnership. Oh yeah, because they beat the Panthers. Yes,
Speaker 2: they're on forty. Oh yes, if they win this week
Speaker 2: they can pretty corn up. Yeah. And so I think
Speaker 2: I've only got Harry Grant as my starting hooker and
Speaker 2: Jayden Brady. So I think next week, when if you
Speaker 2: do make it to the finals of your head to
Speaker 2: Hear league, it's going to be super tricky. And also
Speaker 2: the Tigers are on the by So if you've got
Speaker 2: like Lochland Galvin for example, yeah, well fine, new you know,
Speaker 2: like these guys that everyone's got, Yeah, it could be
Speaker 2: trouble there. But I just have to make a note
Speaker 2: for next year and just say, Chris, come into the
Speaker 2: last part of the season with ten trades up your sleeve,
Speaker 2: because every year I blow my load early. I blow
Speaker 2: it early and I early. You heard that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been alright for trades. I just got done
Speaker 1: and they had to head in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Despite having lead a Fantasy league for most of the year,
Speaker 1: I guess the biggest issue this week for super coaches
Speaker 1: is what do you do with Nathan Cleary?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I've got Matt Burton sitting in there right now in
Speaker 1: the halves because he's both the halves. Yeah, he is
Speaker 1: half back and five eighth. How many trades you got?
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. I have two trades left.
Speaker 1: That was the one that I've made so far this
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've gone Matt Burton in? Yeah, why I
Speaker 2: don't feel great about it? I'm not. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think that's wrong. Worry is it? Go media? For Shawn
Speaker 2: Johns's last game. There's every chance he could have a shitter.
Speaker 2: Every chance he could absolutely kill See. Because I'm just
Speaker 2: looking at the most traded in stats, they send out
Speaker 2: an email, NURL super coach, Do I think the most
Speaker 2: traded in person is daily Cherry Evans at eighteen point
Speaker 2: eight percent. Seagulls have the Tigers. So they have the
Speaker 2: Tigers tonight tonight, which obviously the bottom team on the table,
Speaker 2: so could absolutely light them up. However, I am going
Speaker 2: Sam Walker. Yeah. Now, partly this is because if I
Speaker 2: do beat Dihinwood and now hit to head league. This week,
Speaker 2: I moved to face Isaac from Hodaki, who's got a
Speaker 2: stacked team and he's got Sam Walker, and I've just decided,
Speaker 2: don't try and pot against I just just get Sam
Speaker 2: Walker in because the Roosters, this is what we were
Speaker 2: trying to tell you about Ags Crichton last week. The
Speaker 2: Roosters play the Titans, and then they play the Raiders,
Speaker 2: and then they play the Rabbit. O's that is such
Speaker 2: an easy run. He is goalkicking for them. They could
Speaker 2: even if they run up ten tries and he doesn't
Speaker 2: get a single triassist. Ye, he's still got to kick
Speaker 2: ten goals. So on My thing with him is I
Speaker 2: just think goalkicking half go for it. Other people are
Speaker 2: going for daily Cherry Evans as mentioned, because they are
Speaker 2: playing the Tags. He doesn't goalkick. A lot of the
Speaker 2: tries come through Tom Turbo, you know, and Garret's the goalkicker.
Speaker 2: So I just you can flip a coin for them.
Speaker 2: But I think Sam Walker has the highest chance to
Speaker 2: go like one pin fifty on any given day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, But he also has the highest
Speaker 1: chance to go like thirty four one hundred percent. It's
Speaker 1: wild because I'll have these games where they score a
Speaker 1: bunch of points and he The other thing is I've
Speaker 1: avoided I've resisted Sam Walker for so long.
Speaker 2: I can't bring him in. That's laid in the piece.
Speaker 2: You know. I should have brought him in mid season.
Speaker 2: Everyone should have fleir he brought it went down. Half
Speaker 2: the people dead and the other half didn't. I didn't
Speaker 2: the first time. Everyone should have done it. Yeah, so geez,
Speaker 2: do you bring Sean John's in it? But they've got
Speaker 2: the buy in round twenty seven and he probably won't
Speaker 2: play next week if they would, that is I mean, look, sure,
Speaker 2: that's a huge I love the Warriors play, and I
Speaker 2: want to dedicate this to Sewan Johnson play. Hey, I'd
Speaker 2: do it if I was you, because I'm out of
Speaker 2: the running. I know, I know he's good his own podcast.
Speaker 2: He's probably not listen to this one. But if he
Speaker 2: does this aunds for you, then this one's for you. Sean,
Speaker 2: do it for monochasmo. I'm ringing, I'm ringing you in.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: The other one is if you had a bunch of
Speaker 1: trades up your sleeve, the power move would be to
Speaker 1: go Ponger to Turbo on the like, if you have
Speaker 1: to win a head to hit match up.
Speaker 2: What's what's Turbo against the Tigers going to do? That's
Speaker 2: better than Ponger against the rabbit O's. I think Turbo
Speaker 2: could go like massive. The rabbit O's are shite house.
Speaker 2: I think you need as many Knights as possible in
Speaker 2: your team. I don't think the Rabbits are as shit
Speaker 2: as the as the Tigers. They're both very shit, I'm
Speaker 2: very very much. I think the difference is that Manly
Speaker 2: a genuine top four chants, whereas the Knights are struggling
Speaker 2: to make the eight. So their attacks better, you know,
Speaker 2: so they're gonna have more opportunities to click maybe, but yeah,
Speaker 2: look it's just a massive luxury trade by the way,
Speaker 2: a huge yeah. Yeah. So mine's just Sam Walker and
Speaker 2: for Nathan Cleary, who are your wingers.
Speaker 1: By the way, me, I have still a bunch of
Speaker 1: the dom Young Garrick is in there for me. Name
Speaker 1: yeap Val Holmes who's on the by this week, which
Speaker 1: means one of my either Sam stone Street or Burbo
Speaker 1: is going to get a run there. I do have
Speaker 1: another trade though, so I think one of those guys
Speaker 1: is going to go to I don't know who have you.
Speaker 2: Got, So I've got Garrick and Dong Yum. But I
Speaker 2: went full night, so I've got Marju and gag Guy.
Speaker 2: I just got rid of Marjo. Yeah, Marju scored seventy
Speaker 2: four and gag Guy scored ninety six last week, so
Speaker 2: that they both and Ponger they all combined to get
Speaker 2: me up through by Simmi quarter final into the Semis.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, but I didn't realize I've still got Jamaina Suckle,
Speaker 2: who I really want to get rid of it. I'm
Speaker 2: out of trades now, too late, I think. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: brought Isaac Tungal in because when Cleary's back, his scores
Speaker 2: go through the roof, and when Cleary went down, I
Speaker 2: didn't think about it that Tungle is going to be
Speaker 2: shit now as well. Yeah, so he's pretty much not
Speaker 2: going to play for the rest of the season. For me,
Speaker 2: I think you're stuck with him. So then what do
Speaker 2: you do then? If you had a trade, who would
Speaker 2: you go? If I had a trade, I think I'd
Speaker 2: go Lomax. Just because the Dragons are fighting for the
Speaker 2: top eight. They can't afford to rest anyone, and I
Speaker 2: believe their run is quite good as well. Just having
Speaker 2: a look here. They have got to the Sharks this week,
Speaker 2: so I might not be that great, but then the
Speaker 2: Eels and then the Raiders, so and he's goal kicking
Speaker 2: for them. So if I could bring someone into be
Speaker 2: Zach Lomax, you've convinced me. I'm bringing them in.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, So I've now got Sean Johnson and Jerome
Speaker 1: Hughes and my haves, which means when Jerome Hughes gets rested,
Speaker 1: I don't have no halves.
Speaker 2: But did you already have He's just a matter of faith. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: far that's huge, Yeah, that is huge. Huge.
Speaker 1: So if you had to, if you had to fire
Speaker 1: a shot this week, because you who would be your
Speaker 1: big pick up? If it's like do or die, your
Speaker 1: team's on the line, you need to try and beat
Speaker 1: a player, Well, I goes, I'd look at their team first.
Speaker 1: Zachlomax is the one I just mentioned, but I also
Speaker 1: just a pod winger on a gun team. Like you know,
Speaker 1: Brian is not very well high owned this, you know,
Speaker 1: like not many people are on him.
Speaker 2: Who else is hot? Kyle felt, They've got the I
Speaker 2: got to buy this way, but he's stills like right
Speaker 2: up there in terms of the top try scorer in
Speaker 2: the comp you know, or if I really wanted to
Speaker 2: fire a shot and I hate this dude, I hate
Speaker 2: him Jason Sab eighty eight points last week because he
Speaker 2: could score twelve yeah, and be a pathetic tackler and
Speaker 2: run per week every time he gets the ball. However,
Speaker 2: he could score four tries against the Tigers tonight and
Speaker 2: you could have Garrick, you could have Turbo, you could
Speaker 2: have the Saab nine thousand, and you could be watching
Speaker 2: them put on an absolute score. So if he's probably
Speaker 2: a poet as well, and he swallows uploads, he does
Speaker 2: actually the old Sab.
Speaker 1: How many other Wiggans can say that? All right, good
Speaker 1: luck to all of you who are captains. Oh yes, captains.
Speaker 1: I think for me, I am going to having said
Speaker 1: all of that about dropping Ponger in that I think
Speaker 1: who's your fullbacks?
Speaker 2: Pongo and to Disco. So you're not going to go
Speaker 2: teddy against the Titans at four pm in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Oh when is it Saturday? Sunday? So you can captain
Speaker 2: him and vice captain. You can't vice captain Ponger though,
Speaker 2: because the bad That's okay? I want to fuck the
Speaker 2: loop up anyway. And Vice Captain Seawan Johnson. Oh wow, really, ONJ,
Speaker 2: you know what you should do is captain him the
Speaker 2: ultimate shove loyalty. How you are Captain Seawn Johnson, you
Speaker 2: won't do that. I've done it now, come on, and
Speaker 2: I's been stupid now man, No, I'm all for having fun,
Speaker 2: but that's just stupid. I'm captaining is J. You're all
Speaker 2: going to see it on Monday. Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 2: Who are you going to captain? Well, I'm going to
Speaker 2: play it safe. I don't love s J as much
Speaker 2: as you do, but I'm just going to go to
Speaker 2: disco against the Titans. Die has got to disco against
Speaker 2: the Titans as his captain, and you're facing him. I'm
Speaker 2: facing him. So I thought maybe I could flip it
Speaker 2: round and go pom A v. The Rabbits, because that
Speaker 2: way it's like head to head, whichever fallback scores the best. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I've decided actually no, let's just cancel ch each
Speaker 2: other out. Yeah, win it somewhere else, that's right, which
Speaker 2: means you're in for like a twenty point win or loss.
Speaker 2: That's right. It'll be heartbreaking and then they'll be like
Speaker 2: a You'll be winning and then there'll be a count
Speaker 2: back and then you'll lose, which has happened to be
Speaker 2: a couple of times to me a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: And to be honest, Vice Captain, I'm just gonna whack
Speaker 2: it on Garrick tonight, Yeah, because if they score a
Speaker 2: shitload of tries, he should get a few points so
Speaker 2: and if not, then you lose nothing exactly.
Speaker 1: Let's take one more quick break and when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're going to put a hunch down on the tab.
Speaker 1: It should come as no surprise to you, CAZy that
Speaker 1: the TB are wrapped all around Shawn Johnson tomorrow night
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, well it makes sense, doesn't it. And
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's genius because people are gonna it's
Speaker 1: like their last chance to bet on Sean Johnson, that's right.
Speaker 2: And this year the TB has made a lot of
Speaker 2: money off Seann Johnson, a lot of my money lost
Speaker 2: a lot of it last year, to be fair. So
Speaker 2: underneath the power plays whin normal power plays are there
Speaker 2: is now a segment that just is Sewan Johnson power plays.
Speaker 2: And so I'll run you through them.
Speaker 1: You tell me when you want to stop, and we'll
Speaker 1: use that as our hunch for this week.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, there is two. I think I think we
Speaker 2: need to start it around the We're gonna start the
Speaker 2: betting in around three dollars fifty.
Speaker 1: Here, three dollars fifty. Seawan Johnson one hundred plus running meters.
Speaker 1: I can't see that happening. I don't think he's running
Speaker 1: for one hundred meters. No, he hasn't done that in ages.
Speaker 1: Shawn Johnson to force two plus dropouts. I liked this one. Yes,
Speaker 1: he hasn't forced a lot this season. I think there
Speaker 1: was one last last week.
Speaker 2: And also but like, when we get down to that
Speaker 2: pressure area, the most we can do is just kick
Speaker 2: and keck it. Yeah, although not a lot of our
Speaker 2: kecks have been ones where we're then chasing through and
Speaker 2: forcing a dropout. It's usually ones at like ten meters
Speaker 2: out from the line and not really kind of contestable.
Speaker 1: But the Yeah, the next one excites me. Sean Johnson
Speaker 1: to make one plus line breaks, so he just needs
Speaker 1: to break the line once. Now this is coming from
Speaker 1: a if we win, how do we want to win?
Speaker 2: Would there be anything more exciting than Shawn Johnson bursting
Speaker 2: into the backfield and us putting three hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: dollars into the acc Keddy because of it just one
Speaker 2: line break, one line break. It just needs to poke
Speaker 2: his nose through. I mean I like that.
Speaker 1: Another couple options Shawn Johnson to score more tries than
Speaker 1: Toby six, then I forgot Toby six and starting for them.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think I like the fairy tale
Speaker 2: of Sewan Johnson scoring a try at Mount SMTT. One
Speaker 2: thing I've noticed about Sean Johnson he loves a hero play,
Speaker 2: so he will have in his head. I would love
Speaker 2: to score a try at Mount smet one last time.
Speaker 2: He is going to be trying to do that. What
Speaker 2: about okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely is all thirteen players on our side of
Speaker 1: the field and probably half a dozen on the other,
Speaker 1: we'll be looking for that as well. Yeah, what about
Speaker 1: Johnson first or last try scorer? Because picture it's been
Speaker 1: seventy minutes and Shawn Johnson hasn't scored. That're doing everything
Speaker 1: they can for him to score, right, I think if
Speaker 1: I think if he scores, it's the last.
Speaker 2: Seawan Johnson just to score the last match try as
Speaker 2: fifteen dollars and you can see like the game's over.
Speaker 2: We've lost, like this Heaven for bed right, Well, we're losing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the game's over. We switch it on to the last
Speaker 2: team like we always do. We've run in a few
Speaker 2: tries and then they wait there for Sean to come
Speaker 2: over throw on the ball and he scores it. Do
Speaker 2: you't thon that would happen? I can see it. Let's
Speaker 2: get on it, I reckon, that's so risky. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: why they're paying fifteen dollars. You don't think we should
Speaker 2: do something about our big forward smashing through their little
Speaker 2: blokes any other week of the year. Yeah, Shawn Johnson's
Speaker 2: last game. Yeah, okay, And you're never gonna have Sean
Speaker 2: Johnson power plays available over again, are you? No?
Speaker 1: So I think for ten dollars to give us the
Speaker 1: second bite of the cherry, Shawn Johnson first or last,
Speaker 1: So then we got two chances to win that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're only giving away five dollars an odds we
Speaker 1: put one hundred dollars on. That's around one thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: and that means we've paid out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, back in all thoughts, Yeah, okay, I've just seen
Speaker 2: Sewan Johnson to score a try between the post eleven dollars.
Speaker 1: That's so specific in the post. I'd want more than
Speaker 1: eleven if I can get first or last. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go first or last. That is our hunch
Speaker 1: for this week. Follow along responsibly and placing that bit
Speaker 1: right now in the TB account of the ACC and
Speaker 1: that'll do us for the podcast this week. Enjoy watching
Speaker 1: Seawan Johnson's last game ever at Mount Smart Stadium, and
Speaker 1: if you're at the game, come and find me before
Speaker 1: the game for a free pie. Enjoy watching it Chris
Speaker 1: down there in Wellington and otherwise. We'll see you guys
